    Great pitching by Newcomb, Weissert and Whitlock to get 24 outs with no runs. No excuses, if the offense cannot get some insurance. Slaten will need to be lights out in 9th to win a series where the Sox score 1 run twice. Bregman had 4 rbi's by himself yesterday.

    Seeing Danny Jansen playing for Tampa Bay, reminds me how he was a trade deadline acquisition last year , in return for 3 really young prospects. The Sox were about 7 games over .500 at the deadline., and thinking they would be competitive. Over their final 60+- games they played to a negative 6 and went home. So i hope the 3 players given for Jansen were not part of a grand plan to rebuild the farm system

    Narvaez lives up to his rep as no hit. Sox really are duplicating 2024 in the sense of K's and leaving men on base. Recipe for an unlucky loss. But when you have a 1-0 lead, all you need is a shutout to win.

    I heard Skenes today say that they were trying to make the playoffs very much this year. Interviewer asked if Skenes could pitch every other day.

    Credit to Duran for running hard on a simple pop fly to right that......fell in for a double Not every player does that. But couldn't take the luck, and naturally Devers gets a hit behind him..

    I will gladly take 4 shutout innings by Sean Newcomb any day . The bats simply must get better , especially with Bregman nursing the baby.

    Right park, wrong inning & situation. Solo vs GS

    Luv ya' Hammie

    Hope we don't get back to the top of the lineup being no hit by Littell, a lesser skilled thrower. David H and Cedanne, it is up to you, buds

    5 batters in Sox lineup with BA's below .225. I know it is OPS that counts but why insult them further ?

    Timing is everything, Alex. The guy gets red hot and Momma decides to drop one. Thanks, Mrs. Bregman

    Buehler was effective, thanks to defense, but inefficient. He is not a dominating pitcher. Wilson is scary but got away with it, using another 20 pitches. Who has 9 more outs to lock this one up ?
  14. vegasbob
    Suddenly and without prewarning the defense also shows up to help Buehler. Can it really be--the expected Boston baseball team

    That HR by Duran was fun to see. As Merloni said he was popping up due to dropping his body via a long stride. That was clear in the first inning and recent games, plus a few rollovers. Jarren , more than some others, can change the game by being on base.

    A wonderful sight---a first inning run compliments of Devers and Bregman. If only Duran would stop popping up and get on base.

    Surely tonight's game will be the start of an amazing turnaround, back to the days of the Cardinal slaughter. These guys will break out and play well on both sides off the ball to complement good pitching. Let's get back to .500 over the next 2 and move back to Fenway.

    Never met a government worker, especially lifers, who could accomplish anything productive , sort of like utility infielders who become managers.

    Let's discuss their feelings in the future when they get fired, traded, or DFA'ed for lack of performance. Only problem is that some of them already have lifetime wealth and don't need to be motivated. The question is , over a growing sample size, why can't the best professionals in the world achieve a modicum of consistency which we know they are fully capable of doing ? The answer to that one will be interesting.

    No, they fell short of the 16 , K'ing only 14 times out of 27 outs, a bit over 50%. Challenging Colorado for the games played adjusted MLB lead every night. Fighting for what's right with Boston baseball. I think this scoring slump and K rate has reached crisis proportions . After all the White Sox are coming back to Boston this weekend to deliver the coup de grace.
  21. vegasbob
    Keep in mind that although the Rays scored 16, the net differential was only 15 , thanks to Campbell's solo shot. So there's that.
  22. vegasbob
    Recall that after 90 games last year , the Sox were about 8 games over .500 and in the WC slot. Over the next 72, the went -6 and blew the playoffs. This team is like marriage, for better or worse.

    To top it off, turns out Fulmer is the fraud we expected he was. Cannot throw a strike.
  24. vegasbob
    As did Toronto and even the Chicago WS

    And those are not hits
