    Who would you put in next? They’ve used their top 3 covering the last 5 innings.
  2. illinoisredsox
    He pretty much is.
  3. illinoisredsox
    No they wouldn’t. JBJ sucks as a hitter, but his career stats are well above those of virtually any good hitting pitcher you could name. Bob Gibson had a .206 BA. Don Drysdsle was at .186, and those guys were sometimes used as pinch hitters.

    Can’t see the game right now; would either fly ball have scored a runner other than JD?
  5. illinoisredsox
    Crawford was cruising; I had no issue with him starting the 7th. Schreiber should have been warming, and Crawford should have been lifted after the first hit and certainly no later than the second.
  6. illinoisredsox
    At least you have a plan. The posters who just want to DFA everyone with no idea of who would replace them drive me nuts.
  7. illinoisredsox
    At least the Sox lost to a major league team; Blie Jays are losing to the Royals AAA-AA all-star team

    Who? There are no outfielders at Worcester worth a damn. They’ve already called up Duran. You could put Cordero out there, but then you have Dalbec at first full time since Casas has been out since sometime in May. I don’t know who’s at Portland, but I’m not aware of any real of prospects there either. Bradley is not the main problem with this team. He’s not playing full time, and I’m guessing Refsnyder will continue to get a lot of playing time. JBJ is not doing anything much different than expected. Dalbec on the other hand …
  9. illinoisredsox
    They may be low budget, but they are good. The two should not be conflated.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Bradley’s not doing anything other than what’s expected. Dalbec was counted on to supply offense and has utterly failed at that.
  11. illinoisredsox
    I’ve defended him long enough, he is totally lost. He may make it in another organization, but he’s not going to make it in Boston, and whatever he may do elsewhere doesn’t matter.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Not a matter of depth. You only have 4 bench players, and Story can’t play, so 3. Refsnyder’s in the game, Vazquez already pinch hit and Dalbec is up for Bradley.
  13. illinoisredsox
    He was trying to, got jammed. Would have been better to just turn on it
  14. illinoisredsox
    You know if a Rays player had hit that it would have been one foot higher and a homer.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Nah, they did this plenty of times in April, and, to quote Yogi Berra, it’s deja vous all over again
  16. illinoisredsox
    Bogaerts was voted to the team by the players. JD replaced Houston’s Yordan Alvarez who went down with a hand injury.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Probably right. Rays are in the Sox heads at this point.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Got thrown out at home on a Choi double. Just applying the standards from last night.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Guess the Rays should bench Diaz, right?
  20. illinoisredsox
    I know they are going to Schreiber, but: 1) 2nd and 3rd with no one out is a very tough situation 2) he’s been so good for so long that sooner or later he’s not going to have it Given the bullpen issues lately, can’t blame Cora for rolling the dice with Crawford, but IMO he waited one batter too long Edit - I am posting this live as I’m seeing it, MLBTV feed is delayed slightly
  21. illinoisredsox
    So true. I can’t tell if he’s got some nagging little injury or is distracted by his contract issues or what. He so stoic you just can’t tell.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Not sure what you’re trying to say here. 5 RBIs in 7 games pace extrapolates to 115 for the season. We’d take that. OTOH, 10 in 30 is 54 RBI pace. That is pathetic for a cleanup hitter.
  23. illinoisredsox
    JD made contact, just not fair balls. He at least put up a fight, stretching the AB to 10 pitches. Bogey looked overmatched.
  24. illinoisredsox
    So what you are saying is the Royals will be fielding a AAA-AA team in Toronto this weekend against all current science.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Supposedly, nothing is broken. I’m guessing it’s pretty sore.
