9/05 Indians @ SOX 1:10PM

[Tedballgame]

Schwarber is the ideal lead off man except for no speed but he makes up for it with power. His batting eye is second to none.

[Bellhorn04]

There seems to be some great reluctance to bringing Seabold up.

 

I'd like to hear them answer why he hasn't been called up, yet.

 

 

Where would they slot him?

[Nick]

Schwarber was batting .181 on 5/5. Now up to .270.

[Tedballgame]

Have to take advantage of the error.

[Nick]

Instead of being angry with Crawford, you should direct your anger on how putrid the SOX organization handled the Covid situation.

 

Do you care to explain it? Most of COVID guys have been vaccinated.

 

I'm vaccinated with hundreds of non vaccinated kids around me.

 

What is your solution?

[Tedballgame]

Looks like a good time to go mow the yard.

[TylerD]

That hurt. Dammit.

[moonslav59]

Where would they slot him?

 

Ummm, where Peacock and Crawford were slotted.

Orlando Orlando Orlando

 

Another stiff gets a call up while Seabold continues to pitch well..

 

Result 1 IP 18 era Priceless

 

He pitched 6 innings last night. Had they known Pivetta was going on the Covid list today, they would have had him skip that and he’d have pitched today. Of course, gaining that knowledge would have required you to do something other than criticize every move with 20-20 hindsight.

[moonslav59]

These hard outs are killing us.

[d-money]

Can’t give up any more runs. This guy has to settle down.

The SOX were one of 6 teams that were under the 85% vacs rate.

[Tedballgame]

Get the bullpen up.

Madstork priceless? Nope, just senseless.

[moonslav59]

How long do we stick with Crawford?

 

This game is still winnable.

[TylerD]

Ugh. Man on third.

[d-money]

This guy’s not gonna give us a chance in this game. He f***ing sucks!

[MADSTORK]

In your world, if a Player does what he does far as vaccination and still test positive you blame the player and the organization?

Not sure what you mean by that because we don't have a lot of information about who's been vaccinated, etc. Moreover, during this season COVID went way down and now the delta version is romping and stomping. I personally am behaving as if COVID is back in full force, but I doubt that I have much company. Certainly MLB is not acting that way because, guess what? The stands are full (unless you're in Tampa) or almost full (Boston).

[d-money]

This is a throw away game. This team can’t afford throw away game especially at home.

[Bellhorn04]

Ummm, where Peacock and Crawford were slotted.

 

Ummm, he pitched last night and they just found out about Pivetta today.

[moonslav59]

BAL up 1-0 on NYY and TOR up 3-0 on OAK.

 

TOR and SEA now look like bigger threats than OAK.

 

I expected OAK to struggle as their schedule got harder, but they are in freefall.

[Maxbialystock]

Wasn't Pivetta supposed to start today with an extra day's rest?

[TylerD]

High pitch count yikes.

[TylerD]

Wasn't Pivetta supposed to start today with an extra day's rest?

 

Ya he’s on Covid list though

[MADSTORK]

What is your solution?

 

The Pink hat Liberals have no solution!

The solution is, protect yourself the best you can. At the end of day thats all you can do. This unfortunate situation will run its course over time that is why life must go on.

 

How bout this Kutter kid hey!

[moonslav59]

Ummm, he pitched last night and they just found out about Pivetta today.

 

I know that, but had he been called up for Peacock, he'd be slotted in the rotation for both of them. Once we start getting all these days off we have in September, we won't be going with 6 starters.

 

Seabold would have taken Peacock's place and eventually Pivetta's (not today's had he started instead of Peacock) slot.

[d-money]

Have to get out of this.

He's the type of kid you and others have been screaming for in the name of "they can't be any worse...."

[Tedballgame]

What a dink hit.
