    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.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Well summed up.

    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.
  4. 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.

    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).
  6. 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.
  7. illinoisredsox
    It’s underway, but it will be a battle against the weather. 5-6 innings would not shock me.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Always going to be Comiskey Park to me.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Sox have multiple players out of position now. No Arroyo? Or is he going to hit for JD in the 9th?
  10. illinoisredsox
    The guy can’t even post an image of the right Ted Hendricks. Why are we engaging him.
  11. illinoisredsox
    That’s now. What was the conversion rate in 1990, when his famous miss took place? I wouldn’t be shocked to find overall accuracy at 75% back then, let alone from over 45 yards.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Not exactly ripped, but it went just far enough.
  13. illinoisredsox
    In breaking news, Sox get a man on second with nobody out and fail to score.
  14. illinoisredsox
    That reference says 6 times and predates the Yankees doing it in 2020, so it’s been done 8 times now.
  15. illinoisredsox
    This has to be rhetorical, right? State legislatures/city councils wouldn’t formally pass them but there were numerous Governors and mayors who issued the equivalent of executive orders mandating masks in a variety of scenarios. As I recall (and I welcome a correction if I’m wrong) one of Gov. Newsome or the mayor of Los Angeles at least for a while early on, mandated their use everywhere, even if you were outside alone. But mvp is right, this turn in the thread needs to end.

    JH does not make roster moves. Brasier is fine as a 6th-7th inning guy. The problem is the Sox pen is filled with pitchers who are okay as 6th-7th inning guys.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Okay, although I have to admit I’m a little weak on the first part after all these years.
  18. illinoisredsox
    I’m in Hilton Head right now; it was the same for me. Got around it via a VPN on the phone and turning off location. No more blackout.
  19. illinoisredsox
    You needed to cite a source for the fight song?
  20. illinoisredsox
    Franchy is definitely a placeholder. He’s 27. He’s a AAAA player. And to be fair about his WAR, his career totals basically say he has played one full season over his 5-6 year career. He might figure it out enough offensively to get to a 0, but his defense is always going to keep him from getting much past that.
  21. illinoisredsox
    A lot, most far less noteworthy than Fiderych.
  22. illinoisredsox
    I remember one circa 1974 when the Angels beat the Sox in 15 innings. Tiant went the distance for the loss; Ryan was removed kicking and screaming in the 13th or 14th.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Pitchers didn’t throw every pitch max effort back then. Even a guy like Ryan didn’t throw every pitch 100+, he saved that for when he needed it.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Bingo. The reverse is a Bloom move.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Doubtful they’d be 6-0, because that would imply that the Red Sox actually scored in those extra innings. In at least 2-3 of them, they didn’t. Their futility with men on second has been well documented.
