    2 outs, goes 3-2 again and gives up a single to extend inning. Just not a killer instinct out there
  2. vegasbob
    By comparison, Beltre is at .296 for Texas, but the next highest BA in the lineup is .267 and it goes down from there. Some fans in other cities just have to grin and bear it
  3. vegasbob
    Had Beltre stayed in Boston at 3B/DH, Devers would have had more time to refine his game and still be 21.
  4. vegasbob
    Wouldn't mind listening to Brock the whole game, not just promoting Beni, but telling us why Devers is such a dog with the bat
  5. vegasbob
    Rodriguez hasn't given up anything through 2 but has thrown 43 pitches, so he's on his usual 5 inning pace. A bullpen burner, even with a lead.

    2 out walk, keep nibbling and someone will bite back, Ed
  7. vegasbob
    Pearce makes DD look pretty sharp

    Red Sox 1-6 today , lowest BA is Bogaerts .281, 3 guys over .300 . And of course our .300 utility player , Brock Holt, riding some pine.

    Why do I always want to "nibble" on snacks when Erod is pitching ? Sympatico ??
  10. vegasbob
    Screw the fat ass, you can never leave him in too long

    I think the dirty Birds just won, so that is one of the 4 games the Yankees needed to keep pace with Boston. Thank you Buck Showalter

    With the news that Vazquez needs surgery , 6-8 weeks healing, plus a rehab stint, he will not be available until mid September. Dombroski now has a much tougher situation to sort out. He can only move Swihart if he gets a catcher in return. Maybe a bottom dwelling team like the Marlins would do that for Realmuto, along with some added prospects . Or else it is ride with Blake for better or worse through the end of the year and see what he can do with regular reps. If successful, he may have some off season trade value above his current level. If he fails, then you are looking at a trade throw-in or DFA after the season.

    Very true , just watch Devers tumble into bases or get caught off them. Bogaerts often misses also.
  14. vegasbob
    Two road series sweeps , despite the low level opposition, is a great outcome and wastes another NY win. NYY have their plate full this week but the Baltimore Buttercups led by Buck Showoff will challenge them just not much. Now that the losses columns are identical, NYY needs to win all 4 games in hand in the W column to match the RS record. It gets tougher with 7 games in a 6 day period, because Sonny Boy will need to pitch one of them

    The ump is just pitiful, and sucks besides
  16. vegasbob
    Well, Craig is coachable
  17. vegasbob
    Why the heck does Kimbrel throw the curve to a guy he has down 2 strikes. Throw it earlier in the count and go with gas at 2 strikes.
  18. vegasbob
    Of course now Kimbrel comes on, which is ok as he only needs two outs. Thornburg still needs some time to get his arm up to speed and strength , if he's going to help the bullpen. Otherwise he will be taking a undeserved rest.
  19. vegasbob
    Well, Kimbrel had a nice 3 day vacay stay in KC . He should be ready to go again
  20. vegasbob
    How incredibly bad can Peralta be ? KC players must look around the clubhouse post game and ask who do I have to F to get out of here.
  21. vegasbob
    Yeah, with Holt as the primary 2Bman. Devers may also be a bit weary of the grind as he doesn't have much experience and hasn't taken many days off.
  22. vegasbob
    Pedroia's contract, while reasonable by some standards, does pose a blocker to any 2Bman deal due to its term. Nunez is also good for one more year as well (I think). Pedey in the worst case, may have to retire but you will not find that out until next Spring after he tries again. Holt is not an impediment to a deal. If you get Merrifield, if would only be to play everyday for a few years out.
  23. vegasbob
    Porcello certainly worked for the potential win here and got serious when it counted. Concern remains about the high strike zone frequency . He needs to pitch in the lower half and off the corners on breaking balls
  24. vegasbob
    And which team would that be ?? KC would want 2 AAA prospects and Brock Holt
  25. vegasbob
    JDM wouldn't have beat himself up with foul balls last night if he was a better hitter (sarcasm for all the literalists here)
