    Chang bang, 2B's

    It was an 0-2 pitch to Raffy, so they may have thought it would be a low away slider, but Steele is a LH'er looking right at the runner. Trying to make something happen but backfired. Cora perhaps thought Duran was playing CF today.

    Baserunning, somewhat of a fundamental Why get a 2 run HR , when a solo is so much more exquisite

    Doesn't leave a lot of flexibility if Wong gets hurts . We lose the DH role .

    Odd lineup for a semi-critical game. Either the Sox win the series or lose any sense of momentum on the chase for #3 WC. Cubs are a sub.500 team but rolling out a top line pitcher. How long was the team in a tiebreaker win over the Yankees for 4th ? The true story of 2023 has been a couple of reasonable win streaks scattered around a .500 level up/down yo-yo. Why would an unbiased person expect that to change much ?

    Watch for injuries between now and the 31st to see which contender might need an experienced infielder/outfielder/ RH PH. If that happens and a team needs that guy, don't be shocked if it's not Kike. If we traded him into the AL East mix , would it be a net gain or loss ?

    Just keep winning series, split any 4 gamers and that will be the path to the playoffs. They do need to play about .600 +- level to move up on the other ALE teams. With 70 to go, that is 42-28 , tall order with only 3 starting pitchers, but thew schedule through July 31 does include 14 games ( 2 West Coast trips, A's, Giants, Mariners) and 3 off days .

    Bloom/Cora showing off that Kike is not hurt, so we can get an Ace in return for him, ok maybe throw in Dalbec.

    Scott pitching in messy weather but cannot get a strike so further extends the misery. About 400-420 pitchers in MLB, most of whom have no clue where the ball is going once it leaves their fingers. Having to waste Jansen in a game like this is a shame. Actually is traceable back to Chang's double clutch throw

    He was giving it a little shake. Looked like when Chang broke his hamate on a really big swing. Only concerned that Raffy's 2 HRs tonight get him into the mentality of swinging out of his shoes as he is prone to do.

    Duran hitting .322/.889 . I was surprised at the low number splits on many of the so-called All-Stars Yoshida .317/.872 , those 2 at the top of the lineup can be a problem for the opposition, followed by Turner .289/.831

    Chang Chooses to check out the cheap seats
  13. vegasbob
    Bloom's team should get credit for picking up the 31 year old rookie Brennan Bernadino from the Mexican league. Here's wishing he is not a flash in the pan but he has put together some good outings over the past month in late relief and as a starter.
  14. vegasbob
    And no walks ! He has the pitch mix and control to be very good.
  15. vegasbob
    Plus a minimum 2 weeks to get his bat up to game speed. Virtual lost season.
  16. vegasbob
    Sox not hitting at all, 0-3 with RISP. (sarcasm)
  17. vegasbob
    Pitchers must watch the misplays in the field and ask, " What game are you guys watching?"
  18. vegasbob
    Probably cost a full extra inning needed from the BP..I would run Bello back out and hope he gets the first out quick.
  19. vegasbob
    Bellinger definitely should be available to some team over the next 2 weeks. Doesn't really fit the Sox need for a starter on the mound
  20. vegasbob
    Chang challenges changeup
  21. vegasbob
    The backpedaling guy needs to cede way to the incoming outfielder. Dugo should have called for that, maybe was as it dropped.
  22. vegasbob
    Duvall is more of a teaser than a keeper , kind of like a stripper.
  23. vegasbob
    Definitely the strong safety type
  24. vegasbob
    Cubs D reminding me of something
  25. vegasbob
    Sure hope that Devers is ready for a big 2nd half. Great start tonight. Glad he didn't waste 4 days going to Seattle
