9/02 Rangers @ SOX 7:10PM ET

Replay shows Pivetta getting hit and hurt. Thus 50 pitches.

Not a bad call either, by Max

 

Meh.

 

I will say I'm delighted to see Arroyo at first base and hope he keeps it up. If the does, better him than one of those old guys I've heard mentioned. He is absolutely awful in the outfield, but pretty darn good anywhere in the infield. If Bogey stays, Arroyo gets 1B. If Bogey goes, Arroyo maybe goes to 2b or SS.

 

Agreed on 1B. Not going to learn much more about Cordero nor Dalbec this year. Arroyo gives us a better shot at winning day to day. It would be nice to see some of Casas after elimination in prep for winter hot stove and next ST.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can we all admit Strahm was at least a decent signing at $3M?

 

I admit to nothing.

[Maxbialystock]

Yankees lead the AL in runs with 652. Right behind them is a cluster of 4 teams with between 600 and 592 runs--including the Sox and the Rangers.

 

So the Sox pitching is doing pretty good tonight.

[Jasonbay44]

How is Keuchel even in the league still? He has one of worst individual stat lines I’ve ever seen.. and three teams have given him a shot this season

And the Yankems got 600 of those runs before August.

Like I posted earlier the Rangers starting staff was injury plagued. They just needed a body.

[FredLynn]

Bogey ran that infield bouncer out with more energy and intent than a September callup anxious to get his one entry into Baseball Reference. He deserves whatever he gets from whichever team

 

I agree

 

 

As long as it’s the Red Sox

[Maxbialystock]

Good reaction by Alexy.

[Maxbialystock]

I agree

 

 

As long as it’s the Red Sox

 

Likewise.

Bloom should get some positive points for not signing him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Long bomb by Wong.

[Tedballgame]

As I said earlier, Wong should be on the team next season. He is starting to blossom.

[Maxbialystock]

And the Yankems got 600 of those runs before August.

 

a SPLENDSPLINTER specialty

[vegasbob]

Is that one of thwo catchers for 2023 ? Glad to see that bomb to get Connor started. It went a lot farther than most of Mookie flyballs

[Maxbialystock]

Didn't moonslav say he thought Wong should be called up? What the heck was he thinking?

[moonslav59]

Long bomb by Wong.

 

He had like 8 Hrs in his last 16 games at AAA.

 

Should DFA'd Plawecki and called him up 2 weeks ago.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If loving Wong is wrong,

I don't wanna be right.

[moonslav59]

Didn't moonslav say he thought Wong should be called up? What the heck was he thinking?

 

He's just a blind squirrel climbing a broken clock.

[moonslav59]

If loving Wong is wrong.

I don't wanna be white.

 

I fixed that for you!

[vegasbob]

Can we all admit Strahm was at least a decent signing at $3M?

 

The signing was fine and essential for this year's BP. Strahm has done well, not so well and had some control issues. What do you pay him next year as an FA ? He'll probably want 2 years at $7.5MM total.

[Maxbialystock]

Devers looked fine going after that fly.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I fixed that for you!

 

I wanted to do that, but my filter stopped me. Moon, you have no filter.

[vegasbob]

No one and i mean NO ONE has complimented Ryan Brasier on his SEVEN pitch shutdown inning, so here it is. Braman---you are a 38DD buddy. Notice also how guys like Danish, Brasier and ORT do better with 8 run leads instead of 1 or 2 runs, sometimes 4 or even 5. whatever

These are patterns one will never hear about from the guys in the SOX booth. Only on these GT's does one get this insightful info.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Damn, if JD continues hitting, this SOX team could be dangerous in September. Dangerous spoilers.

Warning to AL East: SOX are coming for you.

Including tonight, in his last 15 games Brasier has given up 0 runs in 10 of them. When he's good, he's pretty good, and when he isn't, he's horrid.

Some people are lucky and learn all they need to know in kindergarten. Personally, I have gained much knowledge on life and humanity right here every summer since the one where the team won 108 regular season games and the 4th WS of this century.

[vegasbob]

Splendid my buddy, you are on a roll. Keep it going and let's win what is left.
