    Looks like a no hitter for Sale so far. He comes out dealing.

    It is tough to give up leads and wins with a big time ( HoF ??) closer but that is what happens. Winckowski is another story , he needs to add to his resume before assuming he will be lights out. In any case he cost them the lead but not the game. Overall, this is the type of loss you remember later in the year. Better win tomorrow's day game.

    Why doesn't NESN run the Red Sox Foundation promo during the inter-inning breaks instead of during what passes for game action?
  4. vegasbob
    2 outs, 2 strike count and Paxton shows the Red Sox way is imprinted. Most of his pitches have been up and that result was somewhat predictable
  5. vegasbob
    I have Paxton down for about 3 innings and 3 runs. Knowing it will take a few starts to get in full time pitching mode. Just don't get blasted in the first. I do note that he will try it tonight left-handed, so there's that

    And San Diego with Bogaerts performing very well, plus Machado, Tatis and whatever else are 19-19. But it's early

    I can't start it either because of Pivetta and the lack of hitters last night. We need the Splendid Splinter to step up and start a new streak. Or Jad.
  8. vegasbob
    Agreed, and a successful Paxton would force this to happen. Cora and Bloom have been reluctant to disclose their thinking because, like us, they are not sure what Paxton will bring to the party. It's BYOB, bring your own baseball.

    Lots of talk going on about what to do with 6 or 7 starting pitchers, who should stay/who should go to the pen or just away. Why not let Paxton actually pitch about 3 times and see if he can get to the 5 inning threshhold effectively before shuffling the rest of the deck. I know that routine on a 5 day schedule is key for many pitchers , so disrupting Sale or maybe Kluber's cycles needs accomodation but a missed turn or even a piggyback for Houck/Whitlock ( when ready) isn't out of the question for 2 weeks. Bello, if necessary, could travel to Worcester to keep in rotation . Pivetta could be skipped once also. Finally, a real decision on Houck/Whitlock and the bullpen should get done . The point is that there is no way to accurately know just how ready or capable Paxton is. Normally, it would be a good problem to have this many starters available but somehow the individuals involved make it a crapshoot.

    I would prefer that Dalbec , hitting for Casas, hits a 3 run HR. DalbeKKKK

    Keep in mind that during the 8 game win streak, the Sox scored no less than 5 runs ( once) and 6 runs ( once ) , all others were 7 or more runs. The second half of the lineup participated in a meaningful way. On Sunday, nobody hit much and tonight Devers through Mc Guire ( 4-9) are a combined 2 for 15 ( plus 3 walks) . That combined with Pivetta's awful outing gets you in the big hole you are in BoSox. Get something going tomorrow night and split this banana.
  12. vegasbob
    So , not at all, is in fact an option?
  13. vegasbob
    Pivetta vs Charlie Morton to see if a new streak can be started.
  14. vegasbob
    It was a great 8 game run, and series win. Let's restart a streak in Atlanta, split if they have to but take 2 on the roads from another good team.
  15. vegasbob
    Littell showing why he was still available in AAA Round Rock
  16. vegasbob
    Cora concedes, the streak is over. The janitor Brasier comes in to sweep up the elephant poop
  17. vegasbob
    Total HS by Bleier , letting Schwarb beat you. Houck could have literally done no worse
  18. vegasbob
    So overall, Houck turns in a good performance through 5 2/3rds , holding Phillies to 2 runs. Bleier needs to get Schwarber and then Sox can hit Walker
  19. vegasbob
    Now it's up to Houck to stabilize his game. He did do that in a previous start when he completed 6 innings after a mini-blow up
  20. vegasbob
    Casas hits one out at a key spot.
  21. vegasbob
    Houck showing the ad for why he might need to be a BP piece. Just looks like he totally lost his focus and ability in the all too predictable 2nd time through. Is this a mental thing with him ?
  22. vegasbob
    So Tapia's a hitter, not a base stealer ? Boston's 2 hits have been self erasing
  23. vegasbob
    Both teams now start the 2nd time through the lineup. I'm not sure how Walker has done historically with his progressions but Houck will have the chance to show he can handle the 2nd and subsequent times through a lineup.
  24. vegasbob
    Wong doing damage to players wanting to run on our pitchers.
  25. vegasbob
    The LH'ers are tearing up Walker . Almost all chasing the outside fadeaway ball.
