Volpe at the 5 hole doesn't make sense to me

Just terrible ABs with RISP

@navamind how did Patrick Corbin become a solid pitcher again? He was ass for a few years

his peripherals don't really support the 3.35 ERA. His k/bb ratios aren't any better than they were in 2021-24. He's actually getting fewer ground balls than he has in previous years. The ballpark and AL West ballparks help that somewhat. He's fine as a backend starter, but I imagine his era will be closer to 5 than 4 when all is said and done. Not that weird to see starting pitchers overachieving in a 7 start span

Narvaez and Devers!

Great bullpen effort today given how little rest they've had and how much they had to account for today. Sox don't have a day off until next Thursday, which kinda sucks.

Also, this is why Cora and Buehler were arguing and got ejected:

Lindor was acting like a fool.

Won't be surprised if he gets a fastball in the back tonight

How do you not start the 9th with weaver?

 

[navamind]

Hendriks is cooked. Only good thing is Crochet didn't get the L

Great win, the Martian destroyed that pitch…..

He is definitely looking like he belongs the last few weeks. I'm expecting even bigger things the rest of the way.

Can he ditch batting righty and become a permanent lefty?

I think he just needs more reps at righty. Lest we forget he went deep from both sides only a week or so ago. I think he's showing what an adaptable athlete he is. I started the season terrified of him in LF, but he's adapted and is playing much better defense of late. I think the same will happen with his switch hitting

Eovaldi and Rodon both dealing today

Jinxed Eovaldi
