    There we go....finally!
  2. FredLynn
    Lowther's luck is about to run out.
  3. FredLynn
    My guess is 3-3. They are all on the road I believe.

    His head isn't in the game. Hasn't been for a long time.
  5. FredLynn
    Ball game. We are still a year away from being relevant IMO.

    Here's what ESPN had predicted for this team. Not 90+ wins: 19. Boston Red Sox Projected record: 79-83 (14.7% playoff odds) https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31142014/2021-mlb-season-preview-power-rankings-best-worst-case-most-exciting-player-all-30-teams

    You have to admit that no one expected this team to be competitive this year. No one expected us to be in position to be in the playoffs. Maybe we will make it; maybe we won't. Regardless, I don't think anyone can deny that the team exceeded expectations.
  8. FredLynn
    Yet thats what will happen. They aren't coming back like the did early in the season. I think its even odds that we are odd team out of the WC.
  9. FredLynn
    He's going to need some company. We can't have guys like Perez, Richards, and Pivetta (unless he is a #5) out there every fifth day. And ERod has got to do much better.
  10. FredLynn
    This team has had the worst baserunning I can remember any Sox team having. The defense too....like a high school game.
  11. FredLynn
    He was sent in by Febles.
  12. FredLynn
    Maybe he thinks he can re-sign him. Schwarber isn't a 1b man, as you know. I don't think he has ever played that position.
  13. FredLynn
    Odd choice, getting just Schwarber. Maybe Bloom doesn't see this team as competitive this year and is planning for bigger things in the future.
  14. FredLynn
    And yet the numbers are what they are. IMO they have, at least recently, performed far above expectation-as have many of the SPs. Its a pleasant surprise. I had visions of this year being an unwatchable year. So far that has not happened. They are making it interesting.

    Not just Whitlock, but the rest of the relief crew is coming along (unexpectedly) well. Lets hope they can keep it up: Josh Taylor’s last 15 G: 11.0 IP, 0.00 ERA Adam Ottavino’s last 12 G: 11.0 IP, 0.82 ERA Hirokazu Sawamura’s last 9 G: 9.2 IP, 0.93 ERA Darwinzon Hernandez’s last 8 G: 7.0 IP, 1 H, 0.00 ERA Garrett Whitlock’s last 5 G: 7.1 IP, 0.00 ERA

    As Jackie Gleason once said, "How sweet it is!"
  17. FredLynn
    I am not sure that the draft will be a normal draft in terms of the worst team picking first, because the season is so short. MLB may modify this somehow.

    Red Sox fans are always rooting for what they think is best for the team and its future. This year, unfortunately, that means losing as many games as possible. Sort of a lost year. Next year will be better. Sale should be back at some point next year, and Bloom, who I think will do a good job of rebuilding, will have a year under his belt.

    I have my own opinion about it, but I never "wing it" here (by that I mean I never state that something is a medical fact unless I know it is almost certainly true). My opinion is that the virus is doing well (as in proliferating) in warmer climates right now-the Philippines, Indonesia etc. I don't believe temperature is going to make a difference. There is encouraging news about the efficacy of an old antimalarial drug, chloroquin. It seems to interfere with the ability of the virus to bind to receptors in the lungs. Studies have been done in China showing that it is effective in reducing the severity of the disease, but so far its not been studied here. I say give it a try if someone has severe disease. It is highly unlikely to hurt. BTW: where has Jacko been? He is on the front lines in NY as an ER doc as I recall. Hopefully he is keeping out of harms way as much as possible.

    Its possible that Italy was testing even fewer people than we have been testing. As testing goes up the numbers will go up too.

    One more: "Meanwhile, Israeli company BATM said Thursday it has developed a quick diagnostic kit to test for the coronavirus — and that production was underway at a facility in Rome owned by Adaltis, which produces medical testing devices, the Times of Israel reported."
  22. FredLynn
    Available for testing maybe....not sure. Here it says available for safety approval in 90 days: https://nypost.com/2020/02/28/israeli-scientists-claim-to-be-weeks-away-from-coronavirus-vaccine/
  23. FredLynn
    Just saw this. Not sure if it means the vaccine is ready for testing soon or if it has already been tested. But its encouraging. I think we will likely have a vaccine within a year. Going to be a tough year though. "Israeli scientists are on the cusp of developing the first vaccine against the novel coronavirus, according to Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis. If all goes as planned, the vaccine could be ready within a few weeks and available in 90 days, according to a release. “Congratulations to MIGAL [The Galilee Research Institute] on this exciting breakthrough,” Akunis said. “I am confident there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat,” Akunis said, referring to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus." It still might take a year to be widely available, but I am sure they are going to fast track this.

    I would consider installing a bidet-seriously. Not to get too graphic, but I am having one installed. Not just because of the TP shortage, but because its more hygienic and environmentally friendly. Just got back from Asia and there most countries do not use TP at all. As for baseball-I think its not happening this year. Likely it won't even start on time next year. Just saw that the US is preparing for an 18 month pandemic. Strange times.

    The seven Bay Area counties have just went into lock down mode-no one is supposed to leave their house except for essential activities. Its about time they did this-but it is short of what is needed. Practically the whole country should follow suit.
