    Unless they put someone on the IL (Gray?), he’s not eligible to return until the 29th (pitchers have to spend 15 days in the minors if optioned).
  2. illinoisredsox
    or maybe Chapman won’t be used. Does Watson stay in to try for his first save?
  3. illinoisredsox
    Not the worst news. Now we wait to see if it’s true.
  4. illinoisredsox
    successfully bridged the way to Chapman

    Why the hell is Contreras bunting? I don’t think that came from the bench.

    I did look at last season’s game logs. Anthony hit about .200 over his first 20 games, so who knows. If/when Fatse goes, it will be no sacrifice. I can think of literally no one who has improved under his tutelage here. I read last week that last season Bregman noticed something in Story’s swing and that is what led to Trevor’s good last 2/3 of the season. Fatse did nothing.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Another Fatse system casualty?
  8. illinoisredsox
    Everybody that season had a Sox offense. IIRC, Yaz was the only AL hitter to clear .300. The All-Star game thst year was 1-0 on an unearned run.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Even Gibson lost 9 games the year he had that 1.12 ERA.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Hey, they got one run. That should be enough, right?
  11. illinoisredsox
    Scary part is how fast he’s lost it the last two starts. Today was.decent and then all of a sudden bam.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Pretty sure I said most of the other 10 declined an interview. I remember Kapler was interviewed as was one internal option (Romero?). Sox obviously decided no on those 2.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Kim Ng (Marlins) turned down an interview as did the Phillies Sam Fuld.
  14. illinoisredsox
    They could find a replacement for Cora; replacing Breslow is a different animal. No executive wants to work for the Red Sox and won’t unless Henry commits to winning again. Remember, Breslow was the 11th choice, and most of the first 10 wouldn’t even interview.

    Grape might just be the right adjective. That had all the fortitude of grape jelly.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Nice economical 35 pitch first for Bello.
  17. illinoisredsox
    He had 3 sacs last year and 2 the year before that, so it’s not like he’s never done it, but he’s not great at it (who is these days?). I seem to recall at least a couple times last year when he failed and then bailed himself out with a hit
  18. illinoisredsox
    That didn’t age well.
  19. illinoisredsox
    The Inquisition, what a show.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Do you have Rafaela bunt Duran to 3rd and hope Mayer or Durbin can score him or just swing away?
  21. illinoisredsox
    Ya gotta admit TYPM is consistent. Every reply pretty much the same. No matter what the subject of the article/post, work in a slam of Cora to start off (and make no mistake here, there are things about Cora that could be discussed). Then make sure we all know how bad Abreu, Narvaez and Mayer are while making sure we all know that Campbell's problems are the organization's fault for moving him off his "natural" position (something that virtually every right handed position player in the majors (infield and outfield) had to do and something that didn't seem to adversely affect Campell during his rapid rise through the minors).
  22. illinoisredsox
    Totally agree. This was an early season marathon thinking type game, not a September sprint one. Not to mention the hits that caused the fatal damage all occurred within a span of 7 pitches (the ABs took 9 pitches). After Keaschall walked to load the bases (which is when you might start warming a guy up with a Crochet on the mound): Jeffers singled home 1 run on the 3rd pitch Bell doubled home 2 on the 1st pitch Caratini hit a 3 run homer on the first pitch Wallner grounded out on the 2nd pitch Lee flied out on the first pitch Kreidler homered on the first pitch 6 batters, 9 pitches, 2 outs and 4 run scoring hits. Relievers warm up fast, but not that fast.
  23. illinoisredsox
    I’d settle for that, especially his age 28-34 years.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Let's hope he's around long enough to give up 400 homers in his career. That would put him in some pretty good company, including guys like Randy Johnson, Steve Carlton and Warren Spahn. Not holding my breath, but ...
  25. illinoisredsox
    I’ll take negativity from guys like you, notin, moonslav and others who post in good times and bad. I don’t need to read it from guys who only show up when the Sox are losing and are nowhere to be found when things are going well.
