    No, the pitching needs to hold the Rays. Offense will no good if the Rays answer every time. Houck off to a good start in that regard.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Threw him an inside pitch. That’s where you have to pitch him at least once an AB.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Problrm is they are now into the Rays pen. They will trot 6 different guys out there the next 6 innings.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Horrible pitch location and horrible pitch choice. He was totally set up for a slider but Vaz didn’t call it (Sale never shakes anyone off so I’m assuming it was Vaz’s call there).
  5. illinoisredsox
    He does that. It was mentioned when JBJ was here and how Jackie would just get to the spot and catch it while Kiermaier often added unneeded embellishment.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Weren’t you advocating starting him against the Nats last Saturday (on short rest)?
  7. illinoisredsox
    Sale can stay out there and take the punishment. Screw him and Vaz.

    Arozarena needs to be knocked off the plate; he is way too comfortable up there.
  9. illinoisredsox
    He is. He’s not going to see anything but fastballs the rest of the way.

    Barnes added to the roster as an injury replacement for Richards. Might explain why Richards only pitched yo the one batter last night. By rule, Richards cannot return to the roster prior to the World Series, so he may well have made his final appearance for the Sox.

    Those rules don't apply in the postseason. It's traditional extra inning baseball.

    Miller spent 2 or 3 years in Boston as Ken Coleman's radio sidekick; it was the late 70s or early 80's. IIRC, he moved on to Baltimore as their main guy.

    It was a hell of a play by Arozarena, partially enabled by the shift. They opined on the Fox postgame show that during the regular season with the normal Tampa crowd, he likely would have been out. With the stands fuller and much louder, no one could hear Devers shout.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Ortiz just said he would tell him to cut his swing down and use the whole field. Less is more in the postseason is the term he used. Frank Thomas agreed with him.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Not necessarily; Sox have gone back from 0-2 in the Division Series at least twice. But it definitely is not a route you want to take.
  16. illinoisredsox
    He is capable of more. That .275 average could be 40-50 points higher with a little more plate discipline. It’s in him to do it.
  17. illinoisredsox
    I hadn’t noticed that last game. Like I said, I did see something the previous AB.
  18. illinoisredsox
    All true (I’ll take your word on the movie). But the Ted Williams philosophy to look for a good pitch and hit it is not one that Devers embraces. He should. His ceiling would be limitless if he could/does.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Devers is hurt. I thought I saw something on one his swings in his last AB and this one he looked very odd after each swing. That would be a killer blow.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Could see that steal coming a mile away and thanks to the shift, not a damn thing anyone could do about it.
  21. illinoisredsox
    It’s probably something he’s done his entire career without incident spanning 860+ games and 7200+ innings played in the OF.
  22. illinoisredsox
    My guess is because he can get warm quickly and he doesn’t burn one of the “good” arms. Pivetta then had time to warm up properly and has looked pretty good overall.
  23. illinoisredsox
    I’m not disagreeing. The OP pointed it out as a bad (or maybe poor) decision by Cora. My point was no one on the Sox roster really fits the bill snd thst Cora can only deal with the guys he has on the roster.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Dalbec with another well hit ball and no results.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Oh, I know. But the prototype lead off guy normally would have decent speed.
