    I can't get pumped up for combined no hitters. The Astros have two of these. They all pale in comparison to this one: Red Sox 4, Senators 0 -- June 23, 1917 Babe Ruth (0 IP), Ernie Shore (9 IP) It’s probably the most famous opening to any no-hitter. Ruth, in his fourth season as an ace pitcher for Boston, got himself ejected for arguing balls and strikes after walking leadoff man Ray Morgan. Morgan was caught stealing after Shore’s very first pitch, and the righty retired the next 26 batters he faced for a most improbable no-hitter.

    @steve_hewitt For those going to tonight’s Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway, the pregame ceremony honoring Dustin Pedroia is planned to start at 6:30. I'm guessing all of us MLB.tv friends will need to find another way to watch this.

    @SoxProspects Second baseman Grant Williams had another good day at the plate for Portland. He went 2-for-4 with his sixth double of the season, raising hit batting average to .308. In 131 plate appearances this season, Williams has struck out only seven times. Is that even allowed?

    Maybe the pitcher is letting their guard down after such an easy out instead? 6D Chess by Cora.

    And for 24, you have Manny AND Dewey.

    The 1st batter of the game has an OPS+ of 45........................... OPS+ for leadoff is 67. I think they have a high OPS in the first inning because of who hits 2-4.

    And not only is Mieses starting to tear it up in AAA. He's now hitting bombs in the Olympic Qualifiers. https://twitter.com/SPChrisHatfield/status/1408442371390545926

    Why did the Royals overpay for Beni?
  10. mvp 78
    Could DD have made the trade with just 3 players instead of 4? Probably. Did it come back and bite us? Nope. So as I said before, maybe a mild overpay but it all worked itself out.

    Guerra and Asuaje are nobodies. Allen could contribute, but it looks more and more unlikely by the day.

    Perez vs German It's only fitting that Pedroia's #1 fan gets to make today's game thread.
  13. mvp 78
    It's not? Maybe you had a server error?

    Devlin Granberg is having a nice season for a guy outside the top 60 on SoxProspects (for now). He has an overall 1.024 OPS between Greenville and Portland. OPS after being promoted is currently at 864 (higher than Tristan Casas). Not a lot of upside for Devlin, but could be a 4th OFer or bench bat if everything breaks right for him.

    No. It's a Friday. Why are you doing this to us?
  16. mvp 78
    No.

    31% k rate in AAA isn't great... FWIW, Duran is starting to catch up to him OPS wise. Duran is at 1.015 with Cordero cooling down to 1.111. What I would do is call up Cordero and give him 2 weeks to see if he can rebound at all. If he can't, just DFA him off the 40 man roster. At that point, I'd call up Duran.

    Ball wasn't taken so high because of his dominant arm. He was taken high because of his athleticism and the Sox felt they could develop him into something. Leiter and Rocker already have the arms to move through the system barring injury.

    Fractured rib. He may be out for a while.

    Oswalt went on a LOA due to tornados near his home in MS. Somewhere along the way, he hurt his back and after coming back from his leave he was never the same pitcher.
  21. mvp 78
    Of his ACL?
  22. mvp 78
    What's the issue with years of service if guys like Guerra/Allen/Asuaje aren't providing meaningful contributions to an MLB organization?
  23. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats A very positive Duran indicator is he's been able to get his strikeouts under control while still hitting for power. First 10 games: 45 plate appearances 31% strikeout .333 Isolated Power Next 22 games: 110 plate appearances 20% strikeouts .347 Isolated Power

    I think the way the rule was enforced against Max the other night was embarrassing for the league.
  25. mvp 78
    I've heard that this year there is a significant gap in talent from AAA to MLB. Maybe due to excessive injuries post COVID?
