    We were saying? LOL

    Starting to see why the Mariners think they have something special in Kirby; he’s really settled down and is showing dome real good stuff right now.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Oh, I know. My point was more that it’s not like the guys in front of him are driving in so many men that there’s none for JD. He’s left an awful lot of guys on, especially considering Devers has spent the season on second base.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Wacha has been hammered most of the night; that error may have opened the door, but it’s not like the inning should have been over. One could say Crawford’s error changed the top of the first.
  5. illinoisredsox
    That is a very true statement. And it’s not like Devers or Bogie (the guys he’s hit behind most of the season) are over the moon with RBIs.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Yep. What was it Mussina said? You get around 32 starts a season. You’ll have everything working in 8 of them, something working in 16 of them and nothing working in 8 of them (or words to that effect).
  7. illinoisredsox
    Given they don’t know what they are doing pitching wise tomorrow, he may have to take one for the team tonight.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Vaz got his 24th tonight, unless both ESPN and Baseball Reference are wrong.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Can’t pin it on that, that was a pretty stress free game. But he has nothing tonight for sure.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Verdugo does. Vaz and Kike have the same number as Martinez. 24.
  11. illinoisredsox
    6 pitches in and these guys aren’t pounding this nobody. Offense sucks tonight.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Well said. There are several posters who, usually in the game threads, just don't seem to get that the other team has major league players too and think that every player on a bad team stinks. They'd have bitched if 1972 Steve Carlton had shut down the Sox because the Phillies that year sucked, One of the "fans" I recall from last night posted something about Ohtani being very hittable this year. That may be, but it only matters if he was hittable last night, and with the stuff he had yesterday, he really wasn't. He's shut down the Sox twice this year now. Said posters also can't seem to fathom that streaks don't go on forever, positive or negative. The Sox are 6-1 on this road trip. Which of us would not have signed up for that a week ago when they left Boston? Anyone who say they predicted that is a liar.

    Two lefties due this inning.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Base hit pre shift. Of course, his first RBI hit of the night was a routine grounder pre shift as well. The shift giveth and the shift taketh away.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Any pitcher at the major league level is capable of shutting down any other team. How often they can do it is what separates the great from the good from the average from the poor.
  16. illinoisredsox
    At least Cordero hit the ball (and the Angels’ OF had to make a pretty good play); there’s always a chance if you put it in play. There’s none on swings and misses.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Sox have averaged about 7 runs a game over the past month or so while winning at least 2/3 of their games. Why mess with what’s working right now? If they revert to April offense, have at it.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Cora appears to have handled the closer issue. Let the starter be his own closer. Last complete game shutout by a Sox pitcher was almost exactly 3 years ago. June 5, 2019, by Chris Sale vs. the Royals.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Well summed up.
  20. illinoisredsox
    JD has to put the ball in play there. That was the big out of the inning. That being said, Castillo is a damn good pitcher who was nasty tonight.
  21. illinoisredsox
    His career ERA+ is 123, which if it’s not ace level, it’s pretty close. He’s been on some very mediocre and poor Reds teams. Of course, to many posters here (not you, I repeat, not you), all players on a lousy team are terrible.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Kind of weird for me to see Cody Sedlock make his major league debut for the Orioles today; he was a high school classmate of my younger son (Alleman High School Class of 2013).
  23. illinoisredsox
    Should not be a shock that Strahm didn’t have it tonight. He hasn’t pitched since last Friday; that’s way too long between appearances for any short reliever.
  24. illinoisredsox
    It’s underway, but it will be a battle against the weather. 5-6 innings would not shock me.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Always going to be Comiskey Park to me.
