  1. If it wasn't for Sandoval and Crawford, Chris Davis would be in the Hall of Shame
  2. Now up to 22 pitches to get 2 outs, 2 WP's and a walk. A Porcello and they would be behind. Tell me again why I should feel ok with Barnes ? If a starter pitched at this pace, he would be a 4 inning thrower
  3. Should a solo HR be considered an RISP ? How about when a runner goes first to home on a double or triple. ? What if the hitter gets a hit, but the runner gets thrown out at home. Is it still counted as a positive RISP. ?
  4. Walden gets his 3 outs on 13 pitches, saving himself for another outing possibly Sunday. Unlike the 25 and 35 pitch efforts by some other unnamed members of the pen who throw lots of breaking balls.
  5. Definitely not knocking him, just noticing that quirk of how a little trouble sometimes boils over, making Chris lose his focus. More likely, it is Leon who is making all the bad pitch calls.
  6. Wouldn't want to arm wrestle him. He may have a wicked wrist shot on the ice too
  7. Second half of June for JDM: .350/1.050; 10 HR's, 30 rbi's
  8. He needs a rest day, lol
  9. At least no Porcello's today but got to wonder where Sale's dominance goes . Just not sure why he has trouble reorganizing himself and getting it under control. I have a mental image of a Verlander type pissing on your shoe and telling you , it's raining. Don't see that with Chris, except for the time he buckled Machado's knees for the 2018 WS final out.
  10. More f'ing curveballs with no chance
  11. Sale is a groundball from getting out of this. Do it.
  12. Sale, stunned by the run support, loses all focus and command. Nearing 90 pitches and in trouble in the 6th. Not all that wonderful. I do think Sale can get rattled from time to time
  13. Not the damage JBJr may have wanted but when you are going good, even outs can be very productive. Now for Leon's contribution.
  14. An improved, controllable swing by Chavis results in another hit. ready for a really big inning to back sale.
  15. Let's see---Holt or Nunez ?? Nunez or Holt ??--- AC, take Holt until he proves otherwise.
  16. Red Sox MVP 2019--Xander all day
  17. Angels already beat the Rays, so you think that fact would warm up the dugout chatter to pick up another game on the tailpipes in front of you.
  18. Just tuned in from running errands but immediately see the support for Sale is somewhat typical. Usually we get him one or two. As mentioned, the team likes to wait until the oppo BP is in play. Sometimes Chris isn't there to benefit stat-wise
  19. Between 4 to 8 seasons further on, only Porcello still dealing for the Sox. The only dead money left is Pablo for another 3.5 months, to be replaced at lesser cost by Pedroia next few contract years. Risks for future dead money may include Eovaldi and Sale if arms/shoulders go bad. JBJr's final arb year negotiation will be interesting to see if the Sox value him at $9MM or more. Also at question would be a QO for Porcello, if extension never materializes.
  20. Talksox commenters need to reconsider the true value of Erod. He's our winningest pitcher, the team wins most times he strats, even if Ed doesn't get the win, He's leading tonight, holding the O's to one run in half of a Quality Start. What's not to like ?
  21. i actually wondered how they travel between Boston and Pawtucket. I suspect they drive their own cars, and DD meets them at the gate with paperwork for 3 day parking in a nearby garage.
  22. With Erod's and luis Ortiz's "command/control" this game could set the time record (longest) for a 9 inning game.
  23. Rodriguez shakes his head after hitting Davis ? I've been shaking mine wondering why he is pitching
  24. Even when Cora plays Holt, nice HR BTW, he still DH's Nunez
  25. I don't think Erod could have centered that slop up any better if he had a laser survey instrument and an adjustable tee stand
