    He certainly doesn’t take a lot of pitches. Regular season, he had 8 walks in 181 plate appearances. Heck, he got hit by a pitch 7 times.
  2. illinoisredsox
    That’s the impression I got. I don’t know if he looked at Renfroe, but Kike knew he was in the area.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Not an easy play, but certainly one that could have been made. We’ve seen that a lot this year.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Especially when you consider the edit I made to the OP; Houston hitting .545 in that same situation.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Sox are now 1-19 (.053) with RISP and 2 outs in the series. Astros are hitting .545 in the same situation.

    Disagree on jacksonian. He's a Yankee fan, but he's been here for forever. He's also an MD, and I have found his comments on injuries and rehab time to be invaluable and extremely accurate. The last couple nights not withstanding, he does give a positive contribution to the boards. Stork on the other hand ...

    The official top is defined as “ the area over home plate from the midpoint between a batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants -- when the batter is in his stance and prepared to swing at a pitched ball” Doesn’t seem an simple thing to actually call. The bottom is defined as a point just below the kneecap. At least that is a fairly easy thing to visualize.

    Well one good thing is they won’t see Valdez. He’s beginning to remind of the way Gaylord Perry used to pitch against the Sox back in the 70s. Sox couldn’t touch Gaylord, and on the rare occasion they did score a few runs against him, Cleveland’s offense would show up.

    Doubt it, might be up to Devers to do that. As Rex Barney, the old Oriole PA announcer would say after a nice play by a fan: “Give that fan a contract”

    Other than in game 1, Valdez has been kryptonite to the Sox this year; Through 8 innings tonight: 3 games, 22 1/3 IP, 3 R, 13 H, 3 BB, 23 K, 1.21 ERA Even including Game 1: 4 games, 25 IP, 6 R (5 ER), 19 H, 5 BB, 25 K, 1.80 ERA

    DP if he doesn’t get in the way of it.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Thought I saw he signed a new 3 year deal earlier this week.
  13. illinoisredsox
    This would be the type of game he should be used in.
  14. illinoisredsox
    5, but it certainly feels like 10.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Valdez could go 9 tonight (he won’t, but he could). He’s at 54 pitches through 5.
  16. illinoisredsox
    13 actually. I think they’ve gotten one runner to 3rd in that time.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Led to 4 unearned runs that inning.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Just one. The one Schwarber dropped was not a hit. Edit - now it’s more than one.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Lot of very soft contact this inning but one that wasn’t.
  20. illinoisredsox
    It’s about time for Stork the troll to show up, isn’t it?
  21. illinoisredsox
    Was about to ask if they should walk Alvarez; couldn’t type fast enough. Dumb pitch selection; he’s gone oppo both previous ABs, so let’s throw the pitch where he can do it again.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Definitely. Inexperience reared it’s ugly head there.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Schwarber panicked there.
  24. illinoisredsox
    When he was going well early in the season and then again in August, he was going to right quite a bit. He has become completely pull happy in October.
  25. illinoisredsox
    We’ve done it all year; why should now be any different?
