    Sox regular seaon commentary....It's not all about the Benjamins

    Throwing changeups for strikes while down in the count is a recipe for dominating pitching. That was Okajima's calling card.

    Let's Talk About Bello

    Loumer and Flemming were talking about Bello's ability to induce weak contact grounders with his sinker just before the DP.

    Let's Talk About Bello

    Also, lets not overlook the fact that O'Neil hit the cutoff man on the single, keeping the double play in order. Small potatoes, to be sure. But last year they were jamming those potatoes into their own exhaust pipe.

    Let's Talk About Bello

    It was also, as illustrated by the chart above, his first real game in which he scrapped a pitch he threw 20% of the time last year. It has to be a little weird for a pitcher to go from 20 times a game to zero with a pitch he's probably been throwing his whole life. This is true. But it's...

    Cora did say during ST that he thought Story's presence would enable Devers to cheat a bit towards the line.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Police would be the ones to go after him criminally. Civilly, I wonder what the point would be. To get a million dollar judgment against a guy who probably has nothing and may never set foot in the US again? Why bother?

    It is my hope that significantly improved defense will help the pitching. (And that Masa not playing as much defense will help Masa).

    Belichick is running the fake this time.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    You are right about access not proving guiltlessness. But, I dont agree about "monitoring access." As noted repeatedly, athletes and celebrities get ripped off or at least wildly spent by friends and hangers-on. Presumably, most of these folks had advisors. But I think it's naive to assume...

    Everybody Hates Draymond

    Or someone getting in his face and screaming nonsense inches from his mug like an insane person. "I'm going to shave your armpits and feed the hair to my armadillos!!" Some comedian in the 80s -- Goldthwaite, Lewis Black, I just cant recall -- said that the only thing subway crazies fear is...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I have assumed that, based on this level of trust, Ohtani gave Ippei the "keys" to at least this account. (I disagree that he didn't care, or that "not caring" = "neglect," as he probably had people/agents/advisors looking after the bulk of his stuff). But if we change the destination of the...
