Nothing wrong with Boston centric, it's just not ESPN's preferred outcome. If you are not LeBron you don't count
-
j b F bradley Jr will never hit with that long swing. He truly sucks at the plate
-
I'm in SoCal too and if you want to hear some crappy play by play try Terry Smith of the Angels. Not sure he knows where the game is taking place.
-
And that demographic is not about baseball , it's basketball, and not Boston centric.
-
Porcello is the new Ace !. I only hope Sale, Price, Rodriguez see the benefit of throwing a lot of strikes with some movement on them.
-
Leon and Bogaerts pretty much suck right now, Benintendi not so much. Thanks for the run Andrew.
-
Glad Rick is on my network and follows directions. Good inning featuring a lot of STRIKES
-
Porcello needs a 1-2-3 inning to keep the lead safe.
-
If JBJr could bunt, which he has proven he cannot do, he may have some marginal value at the plate. As it is he is a defensive specialist on a team with 3 other sub .200 hitters. That missed opportunity inning will cost them.
-
Cora says you have to be aggressive and put pressure on the opponent. I looked up aggressive, but didn't see stupid as a synonym.
-
That was another clean up job by Rick P. Maybe this is his night. Pitch count is low for having to work out of each inning. Lots of first pitch strikes is often the key to winning the individual battles and Rick has that going on. Seeing Altuve go down twice is a treat. Third time around, not so sure what will happen.
-
X single handedly erased his rare double.
-
xander F bogaerts
-
Maybe Rick could just walk the leadoff man next inning and save a base or 3. He did pitch his way out of the leadoff double though with no damage. How do the Astros have a back up catcher hitting in the .280's with .315 over the last several games.? Our 3 combined , including Swihart aren't a cumulative .600
-
And Sam Travis who could possibly be Swihart's replacement was hitting low .200's in Pawtucket before tthe call up.
-
Changes the game and helps a lot when the bottom of the lineup doesn't go 3 for K's. Looks like Morton woke up.
-
On the other hand, guys like Porcello drive you crazy . Does exactly the wrong thing. Long game in front of us tonight
-
Gotta love players like Moreland who made the day with that 2 out, 2 run shot. Also they ran Morton's pitch count up to 28 so he may not last as long as the Astros were hoping. What's the deal with Bogaerts hitting low .200's since May 1 ? Hot start, DL, can't even move Benintendi up after his lead off double. Now just let Porcello go on cruise control and this one is over, we wish.
-
It is amazing that with a constantly changing lineup and multiple regulars hitting below .200 , plus Devers errors/K's, that this team is still baseball's best win machine. Take it and be glad. It may be a long season but it will still come down to Astros, Yankees, Red Sox, a non descript AL Central team, maybe the Mariners hang on. The AL has 4 teams with win %'s above .617 (Astros, Mariners, Yankees, red Sox)) and the NL has exactly one ( Brewers) . I don't think Pedroia can be counted on except as a spot starter/PH'er. Probably will need to get a lot more out of Nunez and Holt to keep the bus rolling. Maybe Devers can get hot at some point or maybe he needs some retraining in R.I. The overall pitching picture is far from clear and I'mm sure DD is looking at the possibilities of picking up a veteran starter later in summer . Both Fister and Peavy might be available.

Pretty significant win for #40. Especially if they pull one off tomorrow and leave with a split of 4 games. Definitely needed it over a team and pitcher that has owned them in recent years. Price stumbled but held on until the HR's could show up. Joe Kelly, consider what yo do and then think about other things. You are a test of patience.
-
Pedroia and Betts on the DL. This is a lineup mess for Cora to sort out. Sam Travis is welcome in town because Blake Swihart is now #24 on the roster. Matybe 23 dpending on whether Brian Johnson gets in another game. A win today would be a huge statement. Just wanting Price to keep the Astros off balance and scoreless all night.
-
You are correct. In order to get tot he Series, you will have to beat the Astros and /or the Yankees. Despite the best record in baseball, the 40th win may have to wait a few more days. Pedroia will be a part timer all season. Betts' injury came in warm ups. But the real story is the starting pitching. Right now , it's a box of chocolates
-
When the wheels come off Joe Kelly, you are running on rims throwing sparks everywhere.
-
In which game ??? 2012??
-
Mike trout usually hits #2 for the Angels, but they are still the Angels with no serious pitching sort of like another team.
