Seeing Iche at 3rd makes me think of Ells and this generation of ballplayers. I just don't know if guys like Iche and Pedey and this whole last bunch of mature to aging ballplayers is the last of the guys we are ever going to see that pay attention to the details...that learned the game all the way down to their shoelaces and play it that way.

 

Ells is a wonderful player.... a star player but in truth he is a sloppy ballplayer....depending for the most part on ungodly talent that just oozes out of his pores. But he can't throw, not because of injury but because nobody ever taught him how and he never bothered to learn and he does silly things like the way he went into second base and got himself injured and that dumb crow hop he uses to get back to the base. In truth it is for him the difference between being a star and a superstar. That is really all it would have taken but it will never happen at this point....too late.

Thornton is lost. I am surprised Nova got hit as hard as he did. He went from being economical and dominant to throwing nearly 100 pitches in 4 innings and torching the pen. I couldn't see the beginning of the game, I am unsure if it was the sox patience or Nova's sloppiness, or a combo of the two

That was on Pedey...did not get the ball to Drew in a place where he could do anything with it...sloppy exchange

I would rather see Buch try again next year than see him come back and pitch like he has been in the minors.

 

Oh the numbers don't matter - who knows what he was working on, and whether he had budgets on the types of pitches they wanted him to throw. Not like he was game planning the hitters he was facing - or sitting with the scouting reports or whatever. I mean you can have that opinion - but I wouldn't base it on AAA rehab results or scouting the stat line.

Farrell's next move:

 

FRANKIE TIME!

 

This is actually too f***ing funny but probably true...Farrell is not quite thinking of Frankie yet....the game is not tied yet!

These f***ing idiot managers with these stupid shifts. Ridiculous. One dope in Tampa does it and gets some good press and the other idiot copy him. It doesn't cut down on runs. They need to figure that out.
