  1. Duran saves Sale a big hit, and Wong messes up The O's running game. This illegitimate roster is starting to play very well on defense.
  2. Good for Casas, that has to help especially since he jumped the first pitch and didn't foul it
  3. Well, they pulled the plug on Bello, quicker than I thought they would. May be a short term move to get a 26 man slot for Bernandino as a LH reliever.
  4. Raffy getting surprised on a few 2 strike calls recently.
  5. I'm looking at May 17th after the Mariner's game to see if any significant trends have developed for this roster, and those that will carry through the season. That should be 44 games, more than 25% of the year. Questions to be considered: 1. When might Duvall return, along with Story ( May , June or July) 2. Did Casas find his way to improve, or will Chaim be shopping for 1B 3. Is the relief pitching holding up strong , are the starters effective and going 6 innings ? Is Paxton any factor at all.\ 4. Can Chang be a FT SS on a winning team? 5. Has Yoshi become a plus WAR steady contributor ? 6. Have any current regulars been injured ? I'm sure there are many more to think about.
  6. Cheap joke: Hope you're not wong about that . Connor probably could be a decent backup and late inning defensive guy , if needed.
  7. A prime time catcher a la Varitek, Fisk, Sammy White would be a major addition to this roster . We complain about the lack of player development by Boston for pitching , but how about catcher ? Vazquez was suitable but not in the same category as the aforementioned.
  8. AL East, only one of 6 MLB divisions with all 5 teams W-L record .500+
  9. A key game for Sale to see if he can resume and continue his most recent excellent, effective outing. No reversion to the mean for him . A win over the Orioles in Camden Yards with a strong performance by Sale would be seriously encouraging.
  10. What a difference when you throw effective strikes . Way to go, Bra-man. 13 pitches , 3 outs
  11. Somebody offer an over/under on Brasier's pitch count to get 3 outs. I'm at 20
  12. One problem is that ORT's awful inning was not brief, considering 3 walks. Appreciate the rules update in any case. Thanks
  13. For a team sporting statistically high end pitching, looks like the Red Sox have shown them their shortcomings this weekend
  14. AL East combined are 70-30. Compete in that group at your own expense
  15. Good point , and the reason why W-L's for pitchers is not a meaningful stat. It's really a correlation of run scoring and effective 5-7 innings by the starter .
  16. Schreiber is my new hero. Incredible artistry with the ball . You know he will get both innings because Cora won't waste Jansen
  17. Yoshida's swing will now be messed up for the next 10 games, but win the game you are playing now, and that is what he cemented.
  18. That's enough to bring ORT back out for the 8th.. Alex, don't tempt fate.
  19. Wong and Chang with 3 hits. Devers 0-3 but should get a turn this inning
  20. Great time for Wong's hit, nicely done and very CLUTCH
  21. No question Duran had to be running
  22. Jansen for the 9th, who has the 8th ( Schreiber?), only 6 outs needed for a series win
  23. The ability to throw a ball at 97 , does not make you an effective pitcher. Just throw harder next time Kaleb, and I am sure there will be one
  24. Ort throws the game away. McGuire could have blocked that. This reliance on ORT who has little control or4 command is keeping us at .500 ( or just below). 3 walks, it doesn't get any better.
  25. Kind of had the feeling this was where the wheels came off Bello's effort. Nothing a DP wouldn't cure
