  1. So do you let Porcello come out for the 8th ? I would have to at least to the first hit or walk, then Walden followed by Barnes.
  2. Vaz has upped his game in a really big way. I never understand how other guys can't adapt to the situation where a little contact is needed. But MM and JDM, along with RD and MC all fell into the same hole.
  3. Devers and Chavis combine for 5 K's in 6 AB's , all with runners on.
  4. As a big time professional hitter, you can recognize the spin on the slider ( red dot) , especially on the second one in the AB.
  5. Look again, Thunder. Three innings ending in K's with LOB's.
  6. As usual, it comes to JDM to carry this team, a hit here gets a run and Cole will get to or over 100 pitches through 5 innings
  7. Good that Rick pitched through that play and the walk . It would have been discouraging if the 3B play had led to the one run that may win this game.
  8. Glad that Michael Chavis on the team filling the hole at 2B and crashing some tape measure HR's plus the rbi's with them. But he is about 2 years out from being a MLB hitter . That long arc swing will eat him up with 2 strikes against a pitcher with command and control. Devers has no real excuse following a lead off double to K
  9. Devers must move Bogie around F'ing poor effort, Rafi You too MC. Really poor . Cole is showing these young guys, big league pitches
  10. Yeah, you would think the analytic staff could provide data to each player about the optimum dates for conception to have the baby in a non prime month, or during a predicted IL stint in season. Great use of 10 days off.
  11. Great story. Having been in CF and RF I concur. easy to get fooled on line drives to CF . Shifting to 1B and some catching made the game a little easier in many ways, mostly not having to chase mistakes too far
  12. The DH, and your entire 3 man bench are not hitting .200 individually. Your next two IL returnees are Pedey and Holt, a combined 3 for 36 in limited action. Your first infield call up from Pawsox is Tsu Wei Lin, at 4 for 20 so far , again SSS. This lack of performance and weak reserves will not continue beyond end of July. Look for some roster action in about 2 months.
  13. Major moves forward by Christian Vazquez. Can't quite get the run yet though. Up to Nunez, lol
  14. Biggest out of the night for Rick P. right here
  15. Thta's why they call the results of pitching up in the zone , Porcellos
  16. I noticed that also on both of the two initial singles. They appeared catchable with a Reddick type effort, but on the other hand a miss would be a triple. Also, any questioning comment of Betts abilities gets you in Sox fan jail.
  17. Nunez at DH in a key series shows just how bad the 3 man bench is for the Sox this year. Normally Pearce would fill that hole, or Holt. It isn't going to be Oscar Hernandez, so in effect we have a 2 man bench tonight, including JBJr
  18. Cora said , Nunez had a better chance to make contact on Cole.
  19. 0-3 disaster; 1-2 disappointing; 2-1 still improving and gaining; 3-0 spectacular, best of all possible outcomes
  20. Note how fast Sandy Leon jumps ship as soon as his bat was warming up a little to help Mama deliver the baby. What can Sandy do, block the kid from falling off the bed ? Oscar will show us new meaning to light hitting catcher.
  21. And I thank those who take the time and effort to show us how the stats are trending and how the Red Sox results (not future) compare to other teams.
  22. Red Sox vs Astros, so 2018ish. Congrats to the Bruins for Carpe Diem'ing the Carolina Canes. B's reminded me of the 2018 RS in the playoffs and WS. No let up when the opponent is willing to lose to you.
  23. Glad you posted the video, so all could see that Swihart still only has warning track power, and JBJr would have caught that one if the Red Sox go back to AZ again in the future.
  24. Benintendi has 2 hits tonight, but with a chance to break the tie, he whiffs yet again to a LOOGY. Truly have little use for the short armed dude.
  25. Correct, it's on Cora and despite 7 guys in the pen, two of who are consistently unreliable, he uses his #1 choice who pitched 2 innings last night. I'll give Alex the latitude that EROD could start the inning and try to get the first guy out. When that failed EROD had to come out then. There's the fail. Now with Barnes and Walden used up, how do you finish this potential extra inning game ?
