    If Kike is playing a normal 2nd base position it’s an easy play for him. But he was shifted up the middle.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Cora is playing him way too much. This is the Red Sox 109th game. It is the 95th game Vazquez has appeared in, the 92nd game he’s caught in and the 85th game he has started at catcher.

    Problem is ERod doesn’t really throw a sinker.
  4. illinoisredsox
    It would speed up the game considerably if we could just start every batter ERod faces with a 3-2 count.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Lee would have driven several posters here crazy since he always gave up a ton of hits. OTOH, with his stuff, he wouldn’t have been given the time of day by scouts after finishing college ball.
  6. illinoisredsox
    So can ERod go 5? I was just reading some stuff about Bill Lee, the old Sox left hander. A few years ago, he pitched a 9 inning complete game for an independent league team in California. He was almost 66 years old at the time.

    In today’s game, you might have trouble finding enough to field a full team if you scoured all 30 clubs.
  8. illinoisredsox
    I’m wondering if his back is bothering just a bit. Not enough to disable him, but enough to throw him off just a bit.
  9. illinoisredsox
    It’s not the Sox system, it’s the overall mindset of baseball today starting in Little League. Devers is a special talent, but even he is pushing 100 Ks on the year.
  10. illinoisredsox
    To be fair, Bogaerts is about the only one who can seem to do it.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Seems that way. Even if you get the guy, it’s takes a toll for later.
  12. illinoisredsox
    He’s hitting over .300 with 7 homers since June 1; the corpse has shown some life the past couple months.

    Verdugo rips it right at the ss. Tigers get two ground ball singles; when you’re going bad …
  14. illinoisredsox
    Solo homers don’t hurt a pitcher much. It’s one run and you get to start fresh out of the windup. It’s 4 total bases. Giving up 4 straight singles is also 4 total bases, but it also means at least one run, probably two and you still have 2 or 3 men on base.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Marwin picking up where he left off.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Verdugo ripped it, just right at the ss. 5 feet towards left it’s a run, 10 feet either way it’s a base hit.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Is that legal?
  18. illinoisredsox
    The hits keep on coming; Barnes on the Covid list and unavailable tonight. Who closes? The choice most of this year was Ottavino but with his struggles lately, do they risk turning to him? Maybe Taylor?
  19. illinoisredsox
    10 runs, 26 LOB (10 tonight) 3-18 with runners in scoring position (1-13 the last 2 games). By contrast, the Rays: 19 runs, 14 LOB 6-20 with runners in scoring position (surprised it was that low).
  20. illinoisredsox
    Current JD is bearing a very strong resemblance to last year’s JD.
  21. illinoisredsox
    No, it’s 0-16. That is really hard to do. You know as much as the Rays use their pen, you’d think one of them wouldn’t have it on a given night. They’ve all had it this entire series. I did like what the ESPN guys said about Tampa Bay and pitching. If they offer you a pitcher, be careful. If they want one of yours, be careful. It really does seem to be true.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Wilson was DFA’d Friday.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Eck would say McClanahan has some serious gas with hair.
  24. illinoisredsox
    If Casas makes a cameo this year, he has to be put on the 40 man this year.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Richards can clear waivers but with 8 years service time, he can’t be sent down without his consent. Richards problems have been early in starts; there’s been several times where he’s pounded in the first couple innings, then he settles down snd suddenly he’s gone 6. Short relief doesn’t seem like a good slot for him. Long relief might be the best alternative. If he has it that day and can hold the score about where it was, great. If he can’t, then a game that was probably lost stays that way.
