  1. I wasn't questioning AC's tactics on holding the tie, but after the quick inning I thought we might see Kenley for at least 1 or 2 in the 10th The hitting is atrocious and another missed opportunity to make a move. I called it over when they lost the Sunday game to the WS
  2. Winckowski got the short straw in the BP roulette game. You took one for the team, Josh.
  3. That inning went south when Abreu decided that the first pitch low and away would be a good one to get Casas over to third. These young free swingers may connect on ocassion but show little baseball sense in their approach.
  4. What is disappointing in the 9th is that you burn up Jansen just holding the tie, and your best outcome is going to the 10th . Not much meat on that bone
  5. Won't take too long to get weary of watching Story flail away at the plate .
  6. Watch Cedanne and Devers this inning pull the gsme out with big hits. Duran has no chance to get on base , he is cooked
  7. The K's and just swing/miss particularly on FB's over the plate are astounding
  8. All somewhat marginal guys with some good days but low reliability over a long season. Unless they are part of a trade package, you will likely see them in Ft. Myers, watching all the really great guys Brez will bring in. Bernandino appears to have some loose bodies floating in his elbow ( per Cora) , so he may have surgery anyway.
  9. Excellent effort and results from Cooper C. He has been consistent over his last few starts. The bats simply need to get in the game as usual. Always waiting til the 7th/8th to scratch out a run or two
  10. Who thought we would be congratulating Devers for his defense, but if there is nothing else, then go with the D.
  11. I was hoping for 5 and with only 1 run, that is great for Criswell. He gets away with a lot. A better hitting team would pound him, LOL
  12. Criswell will be challenged to get this one through the 5th inning, meaning an extended BP session. Great
  13. Story's numbers , including pre-injury are really poor . His last 7 since returning show an OPS of .377, which would be good if it was his BA.
  14. Sox pitching defined by the 1st inning HR, so they can play from behind, while the Sox hitters treat the first like a plague.
  15. Judge is actually in a deep slump with NO HRs, only 4 RBIs in last 15 games and an OPS in the .600's Meanwhile Ohtani has gone nuts in NL very near a 50-50 season.
  16. I fully agree. There have been several opportunities since the A-S break to get a run going and move into, not trailing the WC race, but the team never really put that together. The mutual hitting slump as the starting pitching came back around is a backbreaker . The bullpen has coughed up a lead after the 6th inning 19 times so far since the A-S break. Terrible record.
  17. What a thrill it would be to take 3 of 4 in Yankee Stadium . How do you pitch to Judge ? Every 9th time after his 1st AB, but don't let him come up when it matters .
  18. Yes, it is highly offensive to see how the pitching "investment/disinvestment" results turned out. Almost all negative outcomes. Breslow seriously needs to get much smarter or luckier in building this staff for 2025 . With the maturing of the young guys, plus maybe a season of Story, Giolito by mid-year, this team should be looking down on Royals/Tigers/twins etc. Not staring up their tailpipes wishing and hoping. Wishing and hoping is not a strategy.
  19. T.O. with a multi-run HR and walkoff. Well, it is why we all keep coming back for more.
  20. Sox may be the one team in MLB who are at a distinct disadvantage with no outs and a man on 2nd, or even third in extra innings. Orioles convert immediately on a bouncer because their hitter made contact
  21. Aside from Rafeala's awful chasing in the 9th, Story is predictably stuck somewhere in Spring Training mode.
  22. Alex Speier's article addressed why this 2-1 game is not the type of game Boston should be playing with win expectations . Slaten's 2 out HR ball to Santander is exactly why. Going by memory but Sox may not have won any game this season scoring 2 runs or less ( obviously). Pivetta pitched a Quality Start and a 1 run gem to have it stolen by an incompetent with an ugly beard
  23. Cedanne is ready for MLB. He just has little recognition of pitches out of the zone. Amazed any pitcher throws him stuff over the plate vicinity, BUT he did just hit a pitch for an RBI single., getting him to 70 RBI's, not unsubstantial at all.
  24. O'Neill doesn't like to be bothered when playing the field
  25. proposition bettors got scammed by Pivetta. It took until the 3rd inning to give up the HR, and once again, play from behind. A familiar position for the Sox fans.
