    Just like that- inning over. At 49 pitches, maybe he can go 6.
  2. moonslav59
    He set it all up by going oppo-field, recently.
  3. moonslav59
    But, we are on Eastern Daylight time, now (EDT).
  4. moonslav59
    What is it about our opponent's 8-9 hitters that strike such fear into our pitchers that we walk or hit them, so often?
  5. moonslav59
    Lock him up- long term!
  6. moonslav59
    I thought it was "estimated."

    The Rays let up 13 hits and 8 runs, but still won rather easily vs the O's. They've won 10 out of 11 and 17 out of 21. They are 82-48- same as the Dodgers. The Rays were 40-20, last year, so they are now 102-68 over their last 170 games. (98-64 in their last 162)

    Would it still be called a fastball with significant pronation?

    Sale will face his first very tough opponent in his next start: TBR. A big game from him could be the lift we need.
  10. moonslav59
    It's not Eastern Standard Time.

    Maybe Sept 16th. CLE is traveling from MIN to NYY BOS is coming home from the west coast. SEP 27 is also an option. We play NYY on Sunday and go to BAL that Tuesday. CLE is at home that Sunday and travel for a TUE game.

    The Sox have a losing record against just 3 teams: 2-5 HOU 5-7 TBR 3-4 TEX We are .500 with 6 teams: CWS, DET, LAA,OAK, PHI, SEA Our best records: 3-0 MIA 2-0 CLE 2-0 NYM 3-1 ATL 5-2 KCR 5-2 MIN 10-6 NYY 10-9 TOR (no more games with Jays) 9-4 BAL

    The Yanks did the same thing- by an hour, then the game got called after 5 with them getting the win by scoring in a downpour.
  14. moonslav59
    Hey, we've now won 6 out of 8 and 9 out of the last 15. We are heading into our last real tough part of our schedule before ending lightly. After today.... 4 @ TBR 3 v CLE 3 v TBR 3 @CWS 3 @ SEA Then, we finish with... 3 v BAL 2 v NYM 3 v NYY 3 @ BAL 3 @ WSH The end is not all "light," but if we are going to make the playoffs, we'll have to do well those last 14 games. These next 17 games could make or break us.
  15. moonslav59
    It's like that Yankee fiasco that was around the time the tide turned.
  16. moonslav59
    I'm not playing both sides. I have clearly stated I am fine with what DD did. I don't hold it against him, if he went a little too far to ensure that 2018 win. I'm glad we had DD as our GM. That, however, does not mean I have to sugar coat what that team building effort did to our longer term outlook. It's not, in any way, a contradiction. I saw "the cliff" coming but accepted it was worth it. I'm also glad we got rid of DD, when we did, and hired someone better suited to rebuilding the farm and team as quickly as possible. I'm not fence sitting. It's the way it is, IMO.

    It was sunny with blue skies, at game time.

    We won't be losing any of the 6 to free agency, this winter, and we may add 5-6 Rule 5 players to the 40 man roster- effectively doubling the amount in just a few short days. If you add the 5 IFAs, which is one way to obtain home grown talent, we might have 16-17 homegrown players on next year's opening day 40 man roster. We have also added some prospects by trade. Although they are not "homegrown," they are still prospects, or were not too long ago. That's not making excuses for the failures of farm-building and the trading away of several prospects that would likely be on our 40 man roster, today. We do need further change, but to me, the change has already begun.
  20. moonslav59
    I wonder who nearly emptied the farm.
  21. moonslav59
    Wanna know something quite amazing about our 40 man roster? Only 6 players were drafted by the Sox. (Vaz, Barnes, Dalbec, Houck, Groome, Duran) 5 are IFAs (Bogey, Devers, DHern, Bazardo, Mata) 17 by trade 7 Free Agents (JD, Perez, Plawecki, Renfroe, Kike, Richards, Sawamura) 3 Minor League FA additions (Brasier, Santana, Munoz) 3 Waivers (Arroyo, Valdez, Shaw) 2 Rule 5 (Whitlock & Arauz)
  22. moonslav59
    All numbers are flawed. Yes, Richards has done much better as a RP'er, but maybe it's just that he's done better over the last few weeks, and not because of the role change. I admit, that is unlikely, but other pitchers have much better numbers that last 3 weeks, too. I like what I have seen in Richards, of late, but I'm not ready to trust him for multiple high leverage situations, just yet. The problem is, I don't trust anyone else, either, so we are choosing the lesser of evils, here.
  23. moonslav59
    I think Potts and Rossario will be DFA'd. I wonder about Arauz and Munoz- maybe Davis. If we sign 3-5 FAs and protect 4-6 Rule 5 prospects, some of these guys will go.
  24. moonslav59
    I don't disagree, but if the Yanks pass the Rays, because the Rays imploded (not likely), then maybe I'd want to face the Rays in the WC game.
  25. moonslav59
    We keep having (or choosing) to use Whitlock the game before Houck starts. That hurts.
