    Interesting defensive alignment for the 9th.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Some guys do; they usually have plaques in Cooperstown.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Somewhere, Dandy Don is starting to croon Turn Out the Lights.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Verdugo needs to get his head out of his ass. Maybe he needs to be taken out; Schwarber to left, Dalbec to first.
  5. illinoisredsox
    All set up for another 2nd and 3rd no one out scoreless inning.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Radio guys are all over the Sox D; they are mincing no words. Per their remarks, Verdugo should have caught the first double, Vazquez had Margot dead to rights at 3rd but didn’t realize he wasn’t coming home and Renfroe would have had a difficult catch but could have gotten the triple.
  7. illinoisredsox
    It’s something on ESPN that shows pitched and results of balls in play. I asked because in looking at the play by play, Pawlecki was the only guy who was held at 3rd who didn’t score, and he could only score once. I could have missed something though, it would not be the first time.
  8. illinoisredsox
    How do you figure that? I'm not able to watch right now, so I'm going more off of Gamecast.

    He pitched 6 innings last night. Had they known Pivetta was going on the Covid list today, they would have had him skip that and he’d have pitched today. Of course, gaining that knowledge would have required you to do something other than criticize every move with 20-20 hindsight.
  10. illinoisredsox
    It’s not only who they had, but who’s available. If Pivetta goes on the Covid list yesterday, they keep Seabold from starting last night and he’s pitching today.
  11. illinoisredsox
    He said he didn’t understand the line-up. So I asked other than the obvious change of Devers, what would he do differently? I agree Devers should be in there; the only other reason he wouldn’t be in is if his numbers against Plesac were absolutely putrid, say 0-10 with 9 K’s. That I have no idea of.

    75 innings, Splendid, over 16 games (15 starts) this year. The K/Bb rates are really good. He also had 5 appearances at Portland in 2019 pre TJS.
  13. illinoisredsox
    So other than inserting Devers, what would you do differently?
  14. illinoisredsox
    Seabold pitched 6 innings yesterday, so he's out. My guess would be Richards will get the start. He's the best bet to go multiple innings. Edit - Looks like the Sox called up somebody named Kutter Crawford; he's a starter with Worcester, so I'll assume he's getting the nod. Okay numbers at Portland in 10 games, not so great at Worcester in 6. He's only thrown 75 innings this year so far, but all but one appearance have been starts.

    Jalapeños are vegan. Just sayin
  16. illinoisredsox
    Duran added to the Covid list; Wong up for today. Sox also claimed IF Taylor Motter on waivers from the Rockies. The Jack Lopez days seem numbered.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Sí, señor. It would require getting a few guys off the DL and using some pitchers as position players, but it could be done.
  18. illinoisredsox
    I doubt it; these guys are tested pretty regularly.
  19. illinoisredsox
    He does seem to have particular issues with anyone who joined this site in April 2016. You are handling it correctly. To paraphrase War Games, the only way to win is not to play.
  20. illinoisredsox
    3rd times the charm.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Career outfielder trying to play the infield. Arauz late getting to 2nd. Two DPs missed already.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Sale not sharp and iffy D rears it’s head again (tough play, but one that an regular infielder makes).
  23. illinoisredsox
    Renfroe swung at balls 4 and 5
  24. illinoisredsox
    One thing to keep in mind about all minor leaguers is that there were no minor leagues last year. A select few who were destined for AAA (maybe a few at AA) got to go to the alternate sites; the rest went to their local high school field and worked out with whatever local talent they could drum up. That's an entire year of development basically gone for most of them. It had to affected different guys different ways and it also makes evaluating them much more difficult. And less face it, some guys struggle at a Level before figuring it out and sometimes it takes over a year to do that. If the highly touted ones still really suck next year, then you truly have some busts; I don't think you can read much of anything into this year.

    He might be able to become an average first baseman with a ton of hard work, but he’s got a lot a work to do on the offensive side as well. If he wants a decent length career, he’s going to have to find the time to work on both in the off-season.
