4/14 for a game no-one cares enough about to start a thread?

What the BRUINS accomplished during the regular season (65-12-5) may never be done again, especially because of a solid NHL salary cap.

 

I hope they can finish it. One thing they have done is win a lot game in the regular seasons but they need that cup.

As you have mentioned elsewhere, they now need to take it the whole way to the Cup or who is going to care. Lots of pressure there, and they need to be confident that Ullmark's leg is ok.

Winning the Stanley Cup is the most difficult championship in all of sports. That being said, Go BRUINS!

This guy has a tough time throwing strikes.

 

90 pitches for 4 innings ?? It is one reason they want him starting vs relieving.

That's true in a way, but them having the NHL record for wins and total points won't be forgotten.

Ironic that with a lineup featuring 6 guys hitting in the mid-low 100's or .000 , we have 2 guys on the bench, Tapia and McGuire, hitting well over .300. Probably why I'm not managing this bunch.

The biggest difference between Casas and Dalbec is Casas doesn't wear glasses.

[vegasbob]

The only difference between Casas's first and second At Bats is that he swung ( missed) at strike 3. Otherwise the pattern was exactly as written previously. The book is out on our big boy, he will take strike 1 and scuffle from there. The real mistake was fouling off a 92mph 4 seam in the center block of the zone.

With a LH pitcher at Fenway, I would have expected that in the choice between Casas and Dalbec, Bobby would be playing first tonight. But Cora knows stuff we don't

The pitch count reminds me of a SOX LH from a couple years ago. His name has slipped my memory.

I'll give Kike credit for making Angels pay for error on Devers grounder

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Take all the help you can give us.

Angels are the West Coast version of the Red Sox, and they also wear red socks Edited April 15, 2023 by vegasbob

[redsoxrules]

And I thought the Red Sox had bad defense. Angels just gave the Sox some runs there

He knows that no matter what he does national TV announcers will always call him a very good manager. Of course, they don't watch every SOX game like we do.

Does Chang get OBP credit for reaching on an error ? Very hard to keep up with Yu's stats on the wily ways he reaches base.

He does not get credit for OBP there

Thanks for the info. Regrettably it is an AB so his legit OBP declines to 1 base for 15 ABs, which our advanced analytics guys will tell us is .066 , mimicing his OPS

His Off Base Percentage is off the charts.

Houck goes 4 innings, leaving the 6 non closers in the BP with another long relief job. How long will this group of otherwise undistinguished arms be able to go night after night as the totally unready for prime time starters go 4-5 innings.

[vegasbob]

E-Rod.

 

Glad you answered that guys question. He must be new on the board. Erod is someone I do not have on the top of my mind.

Ask Kelly.

That guy's getting old and has memory fatigue.

[Hugh2]

There was a poster in this board who said we should put winc in the bullpen last year and his stuff would take off.

 

Can’t remember who it was, but many said he just sucked. Because you know..he stunk as a starter so why would he be better in the pen, what’s the difference.

 

Ahh, who was it! Damn! I wish I could remember

[vegasbob]

Guess we showed Hunter who is boss . Bloom was mentally applauding his decision to go with Tapia as a non roster invitee who proved out better than anyone he had named Duran in ST

I always though Winck would excel in the pen, like you. It was Jad or Jung who didn't like him

It might have been me, but then I have memory fatigue.

DEVERS DEliVERS! I don't know why they pitch to him. See earlier post.

[vegasbob]

6 Ks tonight out of 7 official ABs ( 1 BB) from our 6-9 studs, whose combined BA's total .419. This is no sarcasm, just harsh reality. I can see Bloom's analytic staff poring over these incredible numbers and trying to find the trend line
