7/29 Brewers @ SOX 7:10PM ET

[vegasbob]

Back in the day when most teams didn't have a 9 or 10 guys in the BP, a player like Duran could stay on a team as a pinch runner.

 

Back in history, the Sox used to use a SP Tom Brewer as a PR. If you have a running, intelligent SP as a PR then you save the backup bench player . Not sure if any of the Sox SP's know how to run the bases.

The first time Uecker was on the Carson show he told Johnny that when he was a kid the house he and his parents lived in caught on fire. He added that the only thing that survived was the bathroom. Carson asked Bob how did that happen? Uecker replied that the bathroom was 20 feet from the house. Edited July 30, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Buchholz was perhaps the fastest runner on the SOX in his prime.

SOX probably won't get much for JD, so he might as well remain for the rest of the season and hopefully the SOX can get a decent compensatory prospect.

[Oscars]

He seems to be a good opening act.

 

JDM is in some slump, 0 for his last 18

I thought it was worse.

[Oscars]

Now he can’t throw a strike!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A pitcher's best friend except for his agent.

By offering a QO?

[moonslav59]

That ground out by Dalbec got my gut thinking HR next Dalbec AB, maybe the one after.

 

I just hope men are on base.

Here's a sign that should be hanging above the entrances at Fenway:

 

"If you like home team offense, then what the hell are you doing here?"

[FredLynn]

Bradley is just a joke with a bat in his hand now. Absolutely pathetic. He’ll be out of baseball next year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

By offering a QO?

 

How about $20.00/hr plus a paid hour lunch break?

McDonalds can beat that!

[vegasbob]

To further emphasize the depths of this hitting slump by the whole team, keep in mind that 3 of the 4 runs in last night's fortunate win were on one swing. This team has otherwise generated 1 run at home over the past 14 innings

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

McDonalds can beat that!

 

 

Then trade him to McDonalds for a happy meal.

[oldtimer]

One hit in 6 innings. Bring Devers back.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Woodruff must feel like he's having a rehab start against an A ball team.

[moonslav59]

Then trade him to McDonalds for a happy meal.

 

That’s not a quality offer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ may be too good for this team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That’s not a quality offer.

 

I beg to differ. Those happy meals just scream of quality. If I was trading JD to Taco Bell, then I would agree with you.

[vegasbob]

Keep in mind that after the first place Brewers work on the Sox, we go to Houston for a really good team. Maybe the lineup starts reshaping by then but Story won't be part of it. You have to hand it to him for giving the team a hand

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

VAZ may be too good for this team.

 

Same goes for Dugo.

[vegasbob]

Thank you Dugo for making it a game

[moonslav59]

Maybe a three franchise deal is In tHe works.

[vegasbob]

Notice how Vazquez hustled the last 30 feet home to avoid not scoring in case Dugo got thrown out at second. That was good thinking

Good idea, MOON. The SOX may get a Whopper of a deal if Burger King is involved.

[jad]

I was watching that. Not so good thinking that he didn't hustle the first 60 feet!

Ha, ha!

 

That play at 2nd was much closer than expected.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bello's got those DP's working for him tonight.
