  1. He has been watching Swihart's mechanics and it has rubbed off.
  2. Nunez is in the zone. Hopefully, he stays hot for an extended period.
  3. A good inning by Thornburg.
  4. Thornburg looked good last night. Let's see if he can give good performances on back to back nights.
  5. People can't find the game thread tonight. LOL!!!
  6. Last night and tonight, Nunez has made lots of solid contact.
  7. Nunez ran well on that triple.
  8. Good question. To me it would mean that Bradley would be gone.
  9. He was awful. 3 BB's and no k's. He didn't get a lot of swings and misses like he usually does. Just a bad night for him.
  10. Lots of posts in the wrong game thread.
  11. JD hits the ball hard.
  12. I think that I mentioned in another thread that Sam Kennedy told fans at a function that the Sox are very much interested in Harper.
  13. That HR was a screaming line drive.
  14. Nunez's knee is still bothering him. After his double and tag up to go to third, he was hurting bad. he was repeatedly flexing his knee and squatting trying to keep it loose. I don't know if the cameras picked that up or if the announcers mentioned it.
  15. It was pretty telling that in the 7th inning that Cora went to a righty when the Twins had 4 left handed hitters due up in the 7th. That play by Brasier at first was a crazy play to end the inning. It looked like a disaster was about to happen as he went stumbling towards first base. I don't think that I have seen a pitcher take a throw at 1B while falling on top of it. Edit: I was so shocked to see the falling play that I just assumed that it was a clumsy pitcher. it was in fact Pearce.
  16. Joe West is the HP ump. Ugh! If there is a guy who could mess up a Sale start, it is Joe West.
  17. A700 @ the game mojo. No Escobar — traded to DBacks. No Mauer —- Sale-itis.
  18. The jury will be out until teams start making him throw the ball.
  19. Except for the one guy who got banned, I don’t think Cora has gotten “crucified “ at all. He isn’t getting anything close to the criticism that was directed at Francona. That being said, discussion of whether he should have PH Moreland (an excellent career PHer and 2018 All Star) for Bradley doesn’t rise to the level of “crucifying”. Goodness what an overstatement.
  20. Moreland has been an excellent pinch hitter throughout his career. Unless he was hurt, it was big missed opportunity by Cora.
  21. On the commercial, Mookie says that his Dad is a Vietnam veteran. Mookie is only 25. Every Vietnam Vet that I know is 70 or older. His dad must have been pretty old when Mookie was born.
  22. Good move by the Yankees. They got him for spare parts.
  23. Great stuff. There was another Home Run that Yaz hit that didn’t count. It was at the original Yankee Stadium. He hit a ball to RCF that Ron Woods kept for and fell into the stands. He knocked himself cold and Yaz rounded the bases. Bobby Murcer saw that Woods was unconscious and that the ball was a few feet away. As he waved for the trainer, Murcer put the ball in Wood’s glove. When the umps came out to see what was going on and they saw the ball in Woods glove, the ump called out Yaz. It was story that Murcer used to tell. I had watched that game on TV. Edit: I can’t find an account of Murcer telling. The story, but here is a NYTimes account of what had happened. https://www.nytimes.com/1970/07/05/archives/in-the-sports-editors-mailbox.html
  24. And I thought that Iknew everything aboutYsz. How do you research stats for games that don’t count?
