    At least that time he was in something resembling standard 2nd base position

    It’s a living.

    Interesting use of Schreiber here in the 7th.

    He wasn’t going to keep hitting .370, we all knew that. But he really hasn’t been making decent contact for a while now. He’s gotten hits, but a lot of them have been pretty soft.

    Another effing shift hit.

    Tapia’s beginning to remind me of Bret Gardner, a PITA against the Sox.
  7. illinoisredsox
    JD really looks like he could use a day or 2 off.
  8. illinoisredsox
    That’s not a DP you see very often, like never.
  9. illinoisredsox
    They seem to have done a lot of that vs. the Sox this year.

    Weird game. Arroyo pops it foul 2 feet further and Guerrero Jr. doesn’t make that catch; who knows what happens from there. Contrast with the first inning, Chapman fouls it 6 inches less, Cordero makes the catch and the 2 run double never happens. Heck, does the 6’4” Dalbec make that catch vs. the 6’3” Cordero. Plus how many ground ball hits can the Jays get?

    Raffie needs to put that bunt down once in a while. Heck, if he bunted it hard enough, he’d probably have a double.

    I didn’t read it until this morning. Got a few pages in and then remembered I have SG on ignore. Once I logged in, it cleared things up, but there were several pages where nothing appeared. Just have to remember to log in.

    I just hope this game thread stays readable. Last night's 200 post version had to be close to 50% the rantings of one completely unhinged lunatic.

    Per the CBA, he does not get paid for any games in Toronto. Based on his $716K salary, he's giving up roughly $45K in salary due to his vaccination status. Houck also accrues no service time for those same games.

    Starting Monday (June 20), teams will be limited to 13 active pitchers. Red Sox are currently at 14. Who is going? My guesses are Robles either to the DL or DFAd, or Sawamura optioned.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Most years the worst team in baseball will win about 1/3 of their games. That’s exactly where the A’s are at 21-42.
  17. illinoisredsox
    They referenced the following on the telecast last night: Since they were swept by the White Sox Mother’s Day weekend, the Sox have gone 23-10. That’s a.697 percentage (112 win pace over a full season). They have lost 2 1/2 games in the standings as the Yanks have gone 26-8.

    Smart base running by Refsnyder stopping and forcing the flip to second, avoiding the DP
  19. illinoisredsox
    Actually, it was Rudy York looking. It must also be a bitch with your head being detached and cryogenically frozen. This is getting a bit ghoulish. Maybe we can get Mel Brooks to make a movie.

    Per Thunder's Game Thread, Houck is starting today. I'm assuming they want 1-2 innings out of him. Not the worst way to see if the every day other thing is possible. Hopefully, they aren't screwing with this kid too much.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Nah. You had your shot on August 24, 1940 in the first game of a doubleheader against Detroit. Don't you remember? You went 2 innings, allowing 1 run on 3 hits with one K. For some reason, they never gave you another shot on the mound. Those were TW's actual MLB pitching stats.
  22. illinoisredsox
    I looked back at his game logs; in his major league career, the fewest days of rest he's ever pitched on is 2. I'm thinking they want to see him on an every other day basis (1 day rest) a few times before trying back to back games. He's young and doing something he's never done before; that seems prudent. Today's going to need the pen; I'm guessing you'll see him today (assuming the Sox are ahead) and it will probably be for multiple innings.

    Not exactly the best example to use from last night. Brasier comes in with two outs and the bases loaded (thanks to Diekman) and gets arguably the Mariners best hitter on a ground ball to short to end the inning. He comes back out in the 7th, allows a weak contact ground ball to 3rd base that’s a hit only because Devers is shifted over in the shortstop position, then gets two outs and is replaced by Strahm. What did a Brasier do wrong? Brasier was used when he’s supposed to be used, i.e. innings 5-7. The problem is the Sox have too many guys who should only be used in innings 5-7.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Putting that IPad to good use. And we thought he was looking at videos of pitchers and previous ABs.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Plus Devers with a subtle block of the base with his foot.
