Day game after a night game, Leon will be catching. I think the guys will keep hitting tomorrow and King Felix is slipping from his best years.
-
If the Sox fans had some doubts on the bullpen coming into the season, just be very glad Mike Wright of Seattle is not on our roster. It looks painful the way he throws the ball
-
Thornburg and Brewer will get paid their contracts no matter what they do, but I have to think both are pitching for their longevity on this season's Red Sox. Right now they are only getting mop up work, saving the rest of the pen. Thornburg does himself no favors by getting tagged, blowing the shutout and otherwise sucking.
-
He did hit it both directions tonight. I understand why he may want to favor the inside-out LF swing at Fenway, but then he showed he can reach the RF wall with a good swing. As I said earlier, Beni is hard to figure out.
-
Well, Chavis got the run home from third on a ground out, but better than whiffing .
-
Helluva start by EROD. Very nice to see that final K after 105 pitches. kept his shutout through 7, now for a short BP effort of 6 instead of 12 outs needed.
-
The team definitely needed his early big power shots , but it may have given him the false impression that the pitchers were the ones who needed to adjust, not him. Anyway, would be nice to see him launch a few more
-
No question he brought a quick and needed hitting spark . Seems to be cooling out now.
-
Just to light a fire in what should qualify as a laugher game, Beni only seems to hit big when it doesn't matter.
-
In reality, I expect Chavis is finding out he is overmatched with his big swing. When either or both of Holt and/or Pedey is ready, a decision will have to be made and you may see MC go south to Pawtucket for some refinement, then be back at the first opening to subsequently occur. It might refocus him a bit and get some time at whatever position they want him to work on.
-
OK, enough joking around on Chavis or anyone else because EROD is actually throwing an excellent game and securing a win where the pitching and hitting have been most complementary and welcome. None of that Oriole gag reflex where the guys had difficulty scoring 6 innings with 86 pitches, no walks and only 4 hits, no runs.
-
I'm told he conducts the pre-series defensive positioning meetings and personally autographs the little 3x5 cards the other guys stick in their hats or pockets
-
You have not seen his footwork at SS, so don't make broad generalizations
-
Apparently virtually no time at 2B . I can't really rate him and by pro standards he may be sub standard. But he hasn't cost them in any obvious ways in the field and he seems to be better than Holt and Pedey at this moment since they cannot get on the field.
-
Range is overrated. If you proerly position yourself, you hardly have to move to field the ball. Chavis looks like a master at this
-
Do you think one of those two teams will win tonight ?
-
The guy finally gets a hit where the ball is retrievable by a fielder. About time
-
Some posters have been ripping his defense, especially footwork around second base (and that was evident on at least one play), but overall he has made his fielding acceptable. 2 errors in 70 chances
-
Is Michael Chavis doing what he can to clarify roster and lineup issues by free swinging and missing hard contact ?
-
Keep in mind the inning started with JBJr getting on base with a double. Makes a difference because the pitcher Swanson went into catatonic shock
-
I think they are paying attention to you, D
-
Now Beni must score him, not hard hit a fly ball, Beni Whiffs, leaving Jackie at third. Beni can be an enigma sometimes
-
Given an oppo field double by JBJr, Vazquez has just one job. Move him to third or score him. Vaz moves him up, so not bad
-
Max, you are usually very much right about the Sox stuff, but you ,read both notes as a slam , without redemption, of Cora. In that you are wrong.
-
Much agreed. i know he's trying to put a positive spin on it, but he would be better served to admit the team wasn't physically or mentally ready for the first 20+ games. It took playing up to their abilities to get to .500 . That's not a restart, it was a salvage job. Now go out from here at .667 and he's a genius again.
