  1. In Bloom's world , Ort is a budget balancer and under club control for years. A perfect situation for the cost concious VP BaseOps. Can he pitch effectively? Who knows?
  2. Ort is a genius. Gives up hit/walks just to set up the rare successful pick off at 2nd base. Pure genius
  3. Poor choice if he blows the lead, plus he extends the Angel lineup for the 9th and you may get to see Trout/Ohtani again. That's now assured.
  4. I can think of a few players in recent years who could have helped the team similarly, but it's a business don't you know
  5. Great work by Whitlock, going 98 pitches on a surgically repaired hip in his second MLB start of '23. Amazing what the Sox can do vs evenly matched opponents. They do need this game with Ohtani pitching tomorrow. He is actually quite good.
  6. Unless we score a few more runs, we may have to find out if Jansen can go 3 days straight, . Surprised Cora brought Whitlock back against the middle of the Angel's lineup, but only need to get Renfroe . Hold your breath
  7. With his contractual situation locked up, Bloom can entertain offers at the deadline that might bring in 2 or even 3 prospects to fill out the Portland roster
  8. Yes, I was concerned that the leadoff walk was going to turn the game against Garrett and the Sox with Trout and then Ohtani coming up. Having Neto ( now in his 44th professional level game) in the leadoff position backfiring
  9. There you have it 6 full innings of 1 run pitching . Quality start for Whitlock
  10. Neto continues his rough start but helps Whitlock immensely
  11. Chang swinging at pitches in virtually unhittable locations for RH batter. His heroics yesterday have hurt him
  12. In the past 15 games has any Red Sox pitcher made it through 6 innings ? Cora better not pull Whitlock yet. I think he can get through 6 with the lead.
  13. Last 6 batters in this game have K'ed .
  14. All right, big guy, your game is getting there too
  15. Shohei's fiancee is named Sue Shi
  16. I'm getting concerned. Whitlock has completed 4 full innings and only thrown 56 pitches. He is not following the Red Sox Way of pitching.
  17. Zach Neto is going to be back with the Trash City Pandas if he doesn't get the bat going. But , no first hit at Fenway ok.
  18. On the other hand Arroyo is a rally killer supreme
  19. Kike's bat is coming alive which would be a big help to this lineup
  20. Let's try something new and play from behind
  21. Here is something to ponder while absorbing today's action. After the last out is recorded , one of these two teams will have a sub .500 record. Mathematical certainty in an uncertain world. Just don't let that team be wearing red socks.
  22. Whitlock makes Neto continue his 0 for the Big Leagues streak and makes a fool of Tr(y)out. Garrett is our guy, and gets Ohtani to roll over like the dog he is
  23. Let's recheck those numbers April 30, and May 15 when the sample sizes are more significant. Hope to see a definite trend improvement from the starters
  24. Sox pitchers take note: Kenley threw 8 pitches for 3 outs. Every one a strike or swing and miss. There may be something to that concept Great win with 2 comebacks to overcome insufficient pitching
