    Chavis and Dalbec show a similar deficiency that Red Sox pitching development has over the past 15 years. Neither one is a professional hitter, just a big swinger with numerous vulnerable holes. I don't know if another year in AAA would have helped either one but they are quickly putting themselves in the dustbin of Sox position player prospects who came close but no cigar, and little trade value.

    Even with Erods 2 out, 2 strike oppo field HR allowed by a LH hitter, this game remained winnable, and technically with 5 outs to score 3 runs to tie, it still is. Sitting your best hitters for a rest day followed by a day off is a concession that wasn't needed. They should have made it a Bullpen game if they were sure to lose to Wheeler. It isn't quite over, although it feels that way

    World of difference in Erod's pitches when he finishes his move home and when he just slings it high or wide. Nice 4 innings today , assace
  4. vegasbob
    Other than the fact Sawamura may not yet be ready to pitch, this should be Erod's last batter today, especially if he doesn't get him out

    While a comeback today would be a rare treat, i'll still take the results to date , especially after the opening series debacle with the O's. April and May have been a most welcome outcome. Now finish the month in first , and get the participation trophy

    This would have been a big one to win, get to 30 wins before end of May, beat a top pitcher, sweep another NL team, and go into the day off on a roll, especially while sitting Verdugo, Bogaerts and Martinez. Right now they look asleep at the bat , and Erod's always one pitch away from more blow up. Another case where the Red Sox starter doesn't seem fully prepared for the first inning

    10 pitches to nail the LH hitting pitcher. Superlative day
  8. vegasbob
    Maybe the Covid episode left Erod with residual brain, heart and arm damage. maybe he has lost his mojo.
  9. vegasbob
    Now Cora may need to bring back JDM and Bogie , as least as PH's . Bench burnout game.
  10. vegasbob
    Nice tight 34 pitches , dig a 4 run hole , set the bullpen up for extra work. A quality non-starter
  11. vegasbob
    Erod would have been better off staying in the hotel. Can't pitch with 2 strikes to a LH hitter
  12. vegasbob
    Hit batter on a 2 strike count, leads to a run. Thank the shift once again
  13. vegasbob
    Nice Brice , what's your price for departing the vicinity of Fenway for good.
  14. vegasbob
    Definitely trending back towards the .500 team The Sox were on paper. Ottovino needs to wake up .
  15. vegasbob
    Useless AB by Kike. That foul pop was caught, ruled a drop and then got rung up without advancing the runner on second
  16. vegasbob
    Franchy, now 1 for last 32. BA over that stretch, .031 . Looks like a great relievers ERA. If you called yourself French's , we could spread you on a hot dog,
  17. vegasbob
    Final 4 hitters for Sox are led by Plawecki, who just insured he would stay just over .200. The other 3 , Gonzalez, Renfro, Cordero are looking up at the Mendoza line.
  18. vegasbob
    At best Richards is a high pitch count grinder, without much command/control
  19. vegasbob
    GR had a chance at a good inning but manages to do a miniblowup by going 3-2 then wild pitching. Needs a DP noe, and on an early pitch
  20. vegasbob
    Kike gets the leadoff spot out of the way quickly
  21. vegasbob
    All in all, an amazing April especially with the 0-3 bomb start vs the Orioles. First place, while the NYY'ers struggle. Try to remember April in the dog days of August
  22. vegasbob
    Not sure why all the complaints about Cordero and Renfroe. They are hitting about .350.....combined
  23. vegasbob
    With 60 pitches through 3 , Eo is on track for only 5
  24. vegasbob
    I give Barnes credit, an efficient close out and a win. That insures an above .500 finish to April, maybe hold on to first place through this week.
  25. vegasbob
    I give Barnes an over/under of 23 pitches to get 3 outs in the 9th
