  1. Probably had to make sure Pham got there.
  2. Both are in their 1st full year of pro ball and both are in High A right now; we have no idea what they can be. Odds are they won't amount to much, but that's true of most prospects. I live in an area with a Class A team; one of the things I like to do at low level minor league games I attend is to figure out the one or two guys on each team who will someday get a cup of coffee in the majors. Not be a star, just get there for a brief time. That's the odds.
  3. Boom. In hockey, that would be a game misconduct. Basketball, a double technical.
  4. Best not to give him even that much acknowledgement. Ignore works very well; so long as you're logged in, you don't even see his wittiness. Have to be logged in though. I don't like using ignore, but some posters, who add nothing to the conversation, have earned it.
  5. Phillies talking to the Sox about Eovaldi and Hill.
  6. Houck. Whitlock pitched 2 innings yesterday.
  7. Dalbec’s D has some holes, but he has become very good at those tough scoops.
  8. He had 2 California state high school titles as well; one of his high school teammates was Baseball Hall of Famer Frank Robinson.
  9. Vazquez to Houston; there’s a thread on it.
  10. Just the stork trying to cause trouble. Binelas just turned 22 in May and in his first full year of pro ball (he played 3 years of college ball through 2021). Stork’s a little closer to the truth on Hamilton, who will turn 25 at the end of this season. He played college ball at Texas, and is in his 3rd year of pro ball. Developmentally, we have to remember, there was no 2020 minor league season. Stork was just doing what he normally does, cause trouble. He is best ignored.
  11. The Benintendi deal looks like something the 1950’s era Yankees and KC Athletics would have cooked up.
  12. The real question is does Bloom want him back?
  13. Maybe nobody wants what we’re selling. That is a possibility you know.
  14. Soto as a player is better; Soto is also a punk who is very lucky he’s playing in this era, because his antics would have gotten himself face planted by the likes of Gibson or Pedro.
  15. I’ll bet a ranch on that statement.
  16. Quantrill’s getting a large plate. He doesn’t need it.
  17. 3rd; Devers and Story both have more. He is tied for first for guys on the active roster.
  18. Cordero seems to have trouble going to his right.
  19. I get getting picked off by a lefty; it’s not good but it’s understandable. It’s inexcusable off a righty.
  20. Velocity still down for Nate; that’s not going to help the return if the Sox are looking to trade him.
  21. Smart people ignore him.
  22. Pivetta has no curve tonight; it’s going to get hammered eventually.
  23. I think he is hurt. Not bad enough to sit, but enough that his swing is off. He just doesn’t look right up there.
  24. Then I guess I won’t bring up Triz Zpeaker, Zmokey Joe Wood and Zy Young.
  25. Again, though, it’s not like he was getting hit hard. Think about the inning: the intentional walk is a call from the bench. Line out to right. Chapman’s hard hit double. Tapia taps a soft grounder in a good spot for run 6. Downs makes a bad play on the throw home on another soft hit ball for run 7. Downs blows a DP that should have ended the inning. Sawamura misses 1st base for run 8. Then the DP to end the inning. Just line in the 1st, the actual pitching was better than the results.
