    Nick Pivetta taking on the Blue Jays , a barely sub.500 team ( 35-36) who bested the Guardians this past weekend. Yusei Kikuchi tossing LH'ed for the Jays. Yusei is not great, typically a 5 inning pitcher with decent stats 3.24 ERA and 1.23 WHIP Boston had a great week going 4-2 over the Phillies and Yankees , now need to keep it rolling. After the Jays, the boys go to Cincinnati (sub .500) for 3, then back to Boston for 3 more BJ matches. You would like to think that this a 9 game stretch where the Sox could make a decided move towards being consistently a winning team. Add 3 more series wins to last week and that may be happening . Good news is that Chris Martin may be back Tuesday and ready to pitch, mentally and physically.

    Sending Grissom to WooSox is logical until he shows he can hit again. Valdez and Hamilton have earned their current spot on the field. Westbrook should enjoy his nights under the lights because he won't last ( or there is no room for a journeyman.) Valdez, himself, will reach a bad streak at bat or in the field and be swapped with Grissom eventually. Hamilton looks like the real deal, but may have to settle for the utility infielder role, but right now, that is Grissom's future role.

    This may have been the best week of Boston baseball since 2018. To take both series against previously strong pitching is amazing but to see the youngsters in the lineup maturing is a great sign. It will become sustainable if the team can take the Jays' series

    It's still your thread and streak. I was just PH'ing, although it did turn into an inside the Park HR.

    Wong triples, Dugo muffs it a bit, 2 more runs. Looking good
  6. vegasbob
    So here is a real chance for Raffy to make his second rbi in this game. Get it done OK, so he's pretty good hitter, way to go
  7. vegasbob
    Terribly inconsistent
  8. vegasbob
    So he K's Judge but either Crawford or more likely Wong let the 3rd run score while Judge was hitting
  9. vegasbob
    At this point walk Judge
  10. vegasbob
    He has been going very well but gives up a run quick in 6th with no outs. Cora knows he has this game but will need to survive Crawford and Bullpen Roulette to keep the win.

    Refsnyder ?? Help me, Rob ?
  12. vegasbob
    Don't ever ask Casas, "How's the weather " unless you have a couple hours free.
  13. vegasbob
    Mookie with a broken bone in LH on a HBP. Maybe we can trade for him to come back now.
  14. vegasbob
    Valdez and Hamilton turn a rocket shot into a DP. Learning at the MLB level . Who needs Worcester ?
  15. vegasbob
    2 out walk to Valdez and a floater by Dom Smith leads to 2 runs on a good AB by Rafaela. Fun to watch the Yankees look unskilled
  16. vegasbob
    An unusually poor AB by Refsnyder, and Raffy can't deliver this early so Duran dies at 2B
  17. vegasbob
    How did Crawford think that pitch was going to fool Judge ? Terrible pitch and Judge nailed it.
  18. vegasbob
    Only doing this because Splendid Splinter asked someone to take it on. His streak will live though with a win here. Crawford vs old friend Marcus Stroman. Let the game begin If 6 days ago you had said we would take the Phillies 2 of 3 and have the same shot at the Yankees, playing Fenway , you would have been certifiable
  19. vegasbob
    Red Sox cannot turn the fundamental double play. Mostly because the infielders on the field are AAA players
  20. vegasbob
    Game slip sliding away , and so am I as we go out on a Friday night. My guess is that Bello's extension was not well timed. He and Rafaela needed to complete the year and show something more than either has.
  21. vegasbob
    Duran is a little shy, maybe rightfully, of the Monster . Another ball that was just missed off the bat of Verdugo. Bello may not make it through 5 full if he can't settle down.
  22. vegasbob
    All Smith had to do was a flyball. Valdez continues to amaze at bat. But Smith and Rafaela chase as only they can to kill the rally
  23. vegasbob
    The key hit missing so far tonight, but now it's time, 2 on , no outs !
  24. vegasbob
    Cue the theme music from Jaws. Bello is a f***wit
  25. vegasbob
    I think you have assessed Devers pretty well. With all the analytics available, opposing teams should know how to pitch to his weaknesses. Throw in that he is a free swinger and you get Raffy. A threat but not consistent.
