    Wasn't that Slasher's schtick?

    They brought back the old in the neighborhood play.

    Nice editing. You left off “especially on the road.” At the time I wrote that, they were 0-2 in extras on the road this year (now1-2). They were something around 1-8 in extras on the road last year. Today doesn’t change those stats very much; they are bad in extras on the road mostly because they have been terrible about moving the ghost runner up and scoring him, leaving the home te needing only one run to win.

    Can they just stay on the road the rest of the year?
  5. illinoisredsox
    So who do we play tomorrow?
  6. illinoisredsox
    It’s hard for the best guys to do.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Forgot Whitlock is still available.

    Extras is problematic. First, the Sox suck at it, especially on the road. Second, Masa’s the ghost runner. Third, who the heck do you use in the bottom of the inning?
  9. illinoisredsox
    Okay, 100 mph. Never mind.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Chapman with a lot of breaking stuff lately. Something up?
  11. illinoisredsox
    Beat me by a few seconds.

    Baseball. Duran gets a hit with an exit velocity that wouldn’t get you a ticket in a small town speed trap. Masa rips one into a DP.

    How? The only change is Eaton in for Yoshida. Otherwise it’s pretty much same group that’s won the last 3 days. Mets pitching has been outstanding today. That has a way of making teams look sluggish. I seriously doubt Yoshida would have changed that.

    He’s been sharper than Tolle was today. One solo homer doesn’t change that. This L is on the hitters, or more accurately, on this Mets’ pitcher who has been really good. Sometimes you have to tip your cap to the opponent.
  15. illinoisredsox
    He’s back to trying to pull everything. Seems like every time he hits a couple homers, he moves to pull city.

    Different role than Watson. Watson is the 8th guy in the pen, mop up duty and has been better after a terrible start (as noted by JoeBrady above). He also has the ability to go multiple innings; last night was the first time Coulombe has gone more than one. Plus Watson can actually strike out a batter. Coulombe has struck out 5 guys since April. Neither will be going to Cooperstown without a paid admission.

    All those "high" pitches tonight may have been strikes. NESN's box didn't seem to go above the waist on anyone and the actual strike zone does.
  18. illinoisredsox
    3 wasn’t that bad IMO, but it doesn’t come anywhere close to the first 2. Hard for any sequel to measure up, and impossible for a second one.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Godfather 1. 2 is in my top 5 or so.
  20. illinoisredsox
    IMO, one of the two best ever. I go back and forth between Casablanca and The Godfather.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Sit him for who? He did double tonight and. scored the 4th run. He had another pretty well hit ball to left (needs to do that at home more).
  22. illinoisredsox
    Not like he was hit hard. Walk was bad. First hit was softly hit and on a pitch 4-5 inches outside. 2nd hit couldn’t have been rolled to a better spot and must have had an exit velocity of 20-30 mph.
  23. illinoisredsox
    That didn’t age well. He’s been really good for 2 outs; getting the 3rd one’s been an issue. He only needed to get 2 outs tonight.
  24. illinoisredsox
    It’s ridiculous for any current hitter not named Schwarber. He gets a pass because he not only hits homers but also has a tremendous OBP.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Which essentially means he misses no games. He pitched Sunday, and the Nats have an off day on Thursday. His next start probably would normally have been on Saturday, he’ll just pitch Sunday instead.
