    Not necessarily; Sox have gone back from 0-2 in the Division Series at least twice. But it definitely is not a route you want to take.
  2. illinoisredsox
    He is capable of more. That .275 average could be 40-50 points higher with a little more plate discipline. It’s in him to do it.
  3. illinoisredsox
    I hadn’t noticed that last game. Like I said, I did see something the previous AB.
  4. illinoisredsox
    All true (I’ll take your word on the movie). But the Ted Williams philosophy to look for a good pitch and hit it is not one that Devers embraces. He should. His ceiling would be limitless if he could/does.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Devers is hurt. I thought I saw something on one his swings in his last AB and this one he looked very odd after each swing. That would be a killer blow.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Could see that steal coming a mile away and thanks to the shift, not a damn thing anyone could do about it.
  7. illinoisredsox
    It’s probably something he’s done his entire career without incident spanning 860+ games and 7200+ innings played in the OF.
  8. illinoisredsox
    My guess is because he can get warm quickly and he doesn’t burn one of the “good” arms. Pivetta then had time to warm up properly and has looked pretty good overall.
  9. illinoisredsox
    I’m not disagreeing. The OP pointed it out as a bad (or maybe poor) decision by Cora. My point was no one on the Sox roster really fits the bill snd thst Cora can only deal with the guys he has on the roster.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Dalbec with another well hit ball and no results.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Oh, I know. But the prototype lead off guy normally would have decent speed.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Vaz started because overall, ERod has pitched better with him behind the plate (didn’t go that way tonight but over the season it is true). Richards would be available tomorrow. Pivetta has pitched pretty well and if nothing else, is saving the pen, which is a good thing. He could even be putting himself in line for a potential Game 5 start should the series get that far.
  13. illinoisredsox
    He did poorly at it the first half of the year. Cora stuck with him and he did very well at it in July and August up until he got Covid. He seems to have relapsed to his first half self. Problem is the Sox really don’t have anyone who fits the prototype lead off hitter profile. Schwarber might be the closest, but he is slow and wasn’t with the club until August. That’s the problem with playing that game; Cora has to manage the roster he has. Everything is trade-offs.

    I hope it’s an awfully thick limb or you are the size of a squirrel. Need you here tomorrow and Sunday.
  15. illinoisredsox
    So enlighten us what you would do differently. It would be even more impressive to tell us in real time and not with 20-20 hindsight.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Pivetta is fine as a number 5 starter. Hes not good enough to be a #3 like he was asked to be most of this year.
  17. illinoisredsox
    All I know is if they let one go, you DON’T want to sign him. They never seem to be as good once they leave Tampa.
  18. illinoisredsox
    You can’t explain anything to this guy. Mr. Twitter just bitches and moans. I don’t think he even actually watches the games from the way he wants to yank pitchers because they give up two seeing eye hits and a perfect bunt.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, he’s got to start telling Sox hitters to stop hitting those hard shots right at Rays defenders.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Well, I guess that means you won’t be watching the rest of it, so have a good winter.
  21. illinoisredsox
    On one hand, they’ve managed to run up McClanahan’s pitch count a little. On the other hand, with the Rays’ pen, that might not be a good thing.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Two of the softest balls the Sox have have gone for hits. The hardest hit ones have gone right at fielders.
  23. illinoisredsox
    McClanahan is effing dealing tonight.
  24. illinoisredsox
    I love it when the critics offer no alternatives or say what THEY would have done.
  25. illinoisredsox
    I did like Fox’s explanation of the rings and how the ground rules apply. Never understood it before. That ball was crushed to hit where it did.
