    Guess he was correct. But not by much
  2. illinoisredsox
    Too bad they don’t give Bello this type of offense.
  3. illinoisredsox
    I was responding to a post about tonight’s pitching being Woo-ful. But you are correct on position players (though the first 3 will likely be on the team to start next season).
  4. illinoisredsox
    Tryout night for next season. Nobody seems to want to make the team.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Why risk some position player getting hurt?
  6. illinoisredsox
    So just leave; why do you have to announce it every night. Virtue signaling?
  7. illinoisredsox
    Seabold can stay out and take the pounding; absolutely nothing to be gained by bringing anyone else in.
  8. illinoisredsox
    That would be metaphysically impossible.
  9. illinoisredsox
    IIRC, just before the trade deadline, he was sent to one of the Korean League chat boards for a broken kimchi pot to be named later. They must have released him.
  10. illinoisredsox
    We can only hope.
  11. illinoisredsox
    ESPN will never allow it.

    Rizzuto was one sided, but he was doing home team broadcasts; I’ll liken him to Johnny Most in that regard. This is a National Game. Ravetch hasn’t pretended to be objective in any Red Sox-Yankee game this year.

    The only one in the booth who is at all tolerable is Perez, who at least realizes there are other players on the field. This has been over the top even for ESPN.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Be nice if the team would give him a little support every now and then.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Bello’s on the mound; Sox are guaranteed to screw up at least two plays that lead to a run. That inning, couldn’t turn two and dropped a fly ball.
  17. illinoisredsox
    How about a drinking game? Every pitch they DON’T show Judge in the dugout, take a shot of the adult beverage of your choice. Bello has pitched well and is getting his usual offensive support and defensive support.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Diekman is left handed; that buys him more looks than a comparable rightie.
  19. illinoisredsox
    He’s got power, so some team will take a shot even if it’s for a marginal minor leaguer. He’s still 5th on the team in homers and was 3rd most of the year while being platooned and basically benched after the trade deadline. Xander and JD only recently passed him in homers. At this point, mentally he doesn’t think he can hit major league pitching. He may even figure it out, but that will not be in Boston and at age 27, his time to show anyone he can is nearly gone. As moon said, he almost certainly will not be on the 40 man next year.

    Some people have trouble with those monosyllabic words.
  21. illinoisredsox
    So you would rather he try and pitch through a hip injury, possibly ruining his arm for ????
  22. illinoisredsox
    Not nearly as impressive as German lowering his ERA from infinity to 45.00
  23. illinoisredsox
    Doesn't mean he would have done it in Boston. Fenway is not Citizens Bank Park. Even looking at least year, he hit 25 in 71 games (303 Plate Appearances) for the Nationals and 7 in 41 games (106 PAs) with the Sox. I have little doubt he would have done well in Boston this season, but I doubt he would have hit 40 dingers. Would I have preferred him over JD? Certainly, but paying both of them wasn't going to happen (they certainly would have had to pick up a lot of JDs salary).
  24. illinoisredsox
    Worse than Massarotti?
  25. illinoisredsox
    Bello needs to learn to pitch out of the stretch; he seems to have a lot of trouble doing that.
