To be honest, while JBJ had a cannon, he wasn’t consistently accurate with his throws. He had more than a few 2-3 bouncers or throws well off line.
-
No, because that puts the winning run on.
-
If it was game 7 of the World Series, it would be a traditional extra innings game. These rules don’t apply in the postseason.
-
He’d have been helped immensely if the strike zone from the top of the 9th was the same as the one in the bottom of the 9th.
-
Barnes didn’t get either of the first 2 pitches, both of which were closer than the one to Chavis in the top of the inning.
-
That was set up by the strike 2 call, which was 3-4 inches outside.
-
Gonzalez ruined the shutout. Game should have been over but he ole'd that grounder that would have ended the game. Run was unearned after that error.
-
Hey, plunking the next batter is old school:D (though I never understood why they threw at the next batter, he didn't homer).
-
Ah, the old vote of confidence, which is generally followed by some heads rolling.
-
In case anyone missed it, the Angels hit Chapman and the Yanks with a 7 spot in the top of 9th last night to win that game.
-
My mistake, Minor is a southpaw.
-
It won’t matter to the doom & gloomers. They just don’t get that sometimes major league hitters hit home runs, even on good pitches.
-
Couple of thoughts: 1) Minor is a right handed pitcher; Dalbec has been, shall we say, pretty weak against righties this season. 2) More likely. Dalbec had to come out of last night's game, seemingly with some heat related issue. He may not be over it yet and they are probably being cautious with him. As of right now, it appears to be 92 in Boston with a heat index of 99.

There’s a classic paraphrase from yesteryear.
-
The other provision is there has to be less than 2 out. It’s designed to prevent the defense from turning an easy double or triple play since the runners have to hold their bases. With just a guy on first, if the D let’s it drop, it should only be a force play unless the hitter doesn’t bother to run and that’s on the offense. It doesn’t apply on bunts.
-
You talking about the Vazquez pop up? If so, the rule isn’t applicable since it requires men on 1st and 2nd (obviously bases loaded fits that requirement) and in this case, only first was occupied.
-
What do you mean by this?
-
One of those things. I remember when the Mariners first came into the league back in 1977, the Yankees, in the midst of a pair of 100 win seasons and 2 World Series titles, had a heck of a time winning in Seattle. They went something like 3-8 out there those years and added another 1-4 or so in 1979. The expansion Mariners would win 64 and 56 games those first 2 years. The Yanks just struggled out there. In contrast, the Sox went 8-2 in Seattle those same years.
-
I think the umps are required to check each pitcher when he comes out of the game.
-
Cue the worry worts.
-
Houck is not ready to be part of the rotation right now. When the Sox sent him down in April, he went on the IL and just got off of it. Last I checked, he had made 3 appearances at Worcester for a grand total of 9 2/3 innings and has been hit around in those games. He is basically back in spring training; it might be several weeks before you could put him in a major league rotation.
-
The Sox are in the midst of playing 16 straight days, so I'm guessing most guys are going to get a day off sometime this week. As for Verdugo, he's been scuffling a bit the past several days (I think he's 5-33 over the past 8 games with 9 K's) plus Duffy is a lefty, so it probably is a chance to give him that day off.
-
Thunder works the Travelers PGA Tournament every year; CBS has the telecast. His assignment must be one that gets TV time.
-
I was about to type that they need to be careful with Judge; as Jim Palmer (who never gave up a grand slam in 20 or so years in the big leagues) once said: “There’s always a base open, even if it’s home plate”. Whitlock had other ideas.

Do they use Taylor for the 8th, even with all the RH hitters?
