Bleis will need two grand slams to win tie this game.

Impressed by Bleis' swing decisions so far Yes, he took a 3-0 meatball before the 3-1 walk.

Late drama in the Salem game. Drive scored 5 runs in the 8th with Bleis driving in the last run with a 2 out bases loaded walk. Game tied 6-6 going into the 9th.
Bleis came into the game batting .500. He's now at .500.
ADD: Valera wild pitched in the go ahead run, Sox down 7-6, bottom of the 9th.
ADD: Coffee with an oppo field line hugger double to lead off the 9th
ADD Revelo doubled home Cofee but was thrown out trying to stretch it to a triple. 7-7 bonus baseball time.

Murphy needs to work on command

if you are into old slang, a guy named Rowdey plays for the Rumble Ponies.
Brendon nailed him.

Not sure if I prefer Zen Baseball or lard buckets shoving food down their throats between innings.

dd used to do that for the observers and also who fell off. It was a nice touch and I don't know if he is still on the site or not,but it was welcomed. dd posted yesterday. He's recently been on vacation.

For all three games, I want to see the Sox run up the Pirates starters pitch counts. Wanna see and saw don't match.

Yet another 1-2-3 inning for Ort. He's a machine.

Official scorer just murdered Kutter's ERA I don't think any of us were expecting it to be sub 5.00 anyway for the year, were we? I didn't think it should have been an error. The wind caused that, usually that's taken into consideration.

It's amazing that MLB isn't running basic paid commercials. I thought it was only the non-Japanese Asian market. I'm sure there's a rights issue. Seems like a giant waste, they should work something out. I noticed that they are running You-Tube style ADs now in the video highlights. ADD: Last year NESN always missed the first pitch of an inning. They seem to have solved that this year.

What's the over/under on Casas walks this series? Pirates pitching has command issues.
Back comment, Gunnar Henderson also has off the charts discipline.
It shouldn't go unnoticed that Crawford had 7 quality starts last year.

Speaking of relievers, Chris Martin is on a 162 games pitched pace.

Thinking career, not start of career. I don't think Whitlock has a pitch that equals Houck's slider. As Palmer put it, lefties aren't going to be able to sit on the cutter because the slider is too good.
ADD: He's also a tunneler as IDed by pitching Ninja. That's big for me.

My money is on Houck having a better career than Whitlock but not as good as Bello.
Re: Palmer, MASN clearly has the best alternates in baseball with him and Boddiker. Loved Eck but they are both more informative.
Unfortunately for me, NESN has the lowest volume in baseball so I usually listen to Joe C while watching the broadcast so, interviews and sideline reporting are lost on me. When it's the Orioles, I always watch MASN.

Yoshida’ s baserunning has also been very solid, good read on the wild pitch, good read on the Duvall single, stolen base. Defensively only Arroyo is subpar and we potentially have Story for that I disagree with the Arroyo subpar defense assessment. Two bobbles doesn't change my opinion. Your mileage may vary. He's got a bat but so far seems off timing. His 1st inning 10 pitch AB was impressive. Palmer mentioned it several times.

This team is going to be fun to watch. Not sure what that works out to for average runs per game, I'll let the stats guys take that one.
Some tidbits..
Sox have bobbled three potential double plays, 2 by Arroyo, 1 by Kiké
According to Palmer (my favorite color commentator), Rutschman, who for whatever reason reminds me of Fisk, had 5 hits off fastballs the first game. Until Ort, he didn't see another fastball over the plate after that.
Palmer was very complimentary of Houck.

All of our 4 starters had uncharacteristic command issues, Kluber, Whitlock, Sale, Walter. Although every year some starters start out on fire, it's more the early early norm (not Norm).
Posters calling to DFA any of them can't be taken seriously.
