    Since the ASG last year: JD has 18 homers and 71 RBIs Bogey has 15 and 62. Those are not numbers that are going to get you large contracts.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Unfortunately, when a team is scuffling, that seems to happen a lot. Verdugo’s had 2 of them tonight, with the ss in two different places.

    Sox seem to have hitting right at the shift perfected.
  4. illinoisredsox
    He’s been pitching very well lately.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Peralta will face him; Devers is 0-6 with 2 Ks against him. Boone should like the match up. Doesn’t mean it will work, but it’s at least defensible.
  6. illinoisredsox
    And really hasn’t looked competitive in any of his ABs.
  7. illinoisredsox
    lol

    “Out in right field. It’s important you know. You’ve got to know how to catch, you’ve got to know how to throw. That’s why I’m here in right field just watching the dandelions grow.” Peter, Paul and Mary

    Your’s is better.
  10. illinoisredsox
    You can take the outfielder out of center field but you can’t take the center fielder out of the outfielder? Sorry, best I could come up with.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Not sure what game you’re watching. After the two homers, he got the next batter on a fly ball. Yeah, he walked 2 in the 4th, but got out of it with 2 strikeouts, and should have been out of last inning unscored on. You’re better than this.
  12. illinoisredsox
    What makes you think he was talking about you?
  13. illinoisredsox
    Stuck with the MLBN broadcast tonight (Costas and co.). MLB TV has decided that a Boston- New York game is subject to blackout restrictions here in western Illinois (even though I even am connecting via a VPN through Denver). So no NESN for me tonight.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Why are you feeding him?
  15. illinoisredsox
    He’s also 34 years old, an age at which more than a few guys have started to lose it. Jim Rice is a prime example of a guy who dropped off a cliff at 34. JDs bat has noticeably slowed; he’s getting a lot of soft hits. There is reason to be concerned.
  16. illinoisredsox
    He’s got 33 RBI’s batting out of the 3-4 hole all season. JBJ, hitting 100 points lower, having 85ish fewer plate appearances and batting in the 8-9 slot, has 25. JD isn’t being paid to get on base ala a leadoff guy; he’s paid to drive in runs, and for most of this season he’s come up very small in that department. Ditto Bogaerts, who only has 34 RBIs.
  17. illinoisredsox
    You would be correct. He’s so deep in the dung house he was DFA’d earlier today.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Well, nothing much offensively in the first. Cue the panic mongers.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Kid overcomes a few tough breaks (from a pitchers point of view). Good for him.
  20. illinoisredsox
    No Devers; that foul ball off his berries the other day must be more serious than it appears. Edit -okay, I guess Raffy has a hamstring and a back.
  21. illinoisredsox
    And only 1 of those 2 scored a run, Bogey's homer in the first. The other hit was JD infield single in the 5th, though to be fair, Franco made a great play to keep Duran from scoring there. Bogey did add a sac fly for the last run. Meanwhile, the Rays went something like 5-13 with RISP and also had a sac fly and a run producing groundout.
  22. illinoisredsox
    A 4 run lead going into the top of the 7th means the Rays are going to win 95% of the time (https://gregstoll.com/~gregstoll/baseball/stats.html#V.-4.7.0.1.0.0). Could it be done? Yeah. Is it even remotely likely? No. Max's point was that is the situation you use your Robles type relievers. If they do great and give you a shot, fine. If they suck and make it worse, you've saved your better pen guys for a more likely win situation. Now I think everyone here agrees Robles should have been jettisoned a while ago. At the very least, he should have ceased being used in high leverage situations quite a while ago, as he hasn't done anything positive in them for a least a couple months.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Not the first time the Jays have overreacted in such a situation. That’s been happening for a couple years, and Vlad Jr. is usually the one doing the chirping. Even tonight, Diaz was upset on that inside pitch by Pivetta (which I think was a purpose pitch) but the Rays team didn’t make a big deal about it.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains. Think about that.
  25. illinoisredsox
    That’s the speed they were saying. Luckily it looked like Vaz got his head turned enough so it didn’t catch him quite flush, but who knows. He must have at least passed preliminary concussion protocol, though, since he stayed in the game.
