    What was the last thing you approved of? Or is approving of anything metaphysically impossible for you?
  2. illinoisredsox
    I know. I sort of got playing Vaz a lot while Plawecki was on the IL, but Cora was doing it before that happened as well. There have been several times when it’s been a day game after a night game, which usually means the back up is going to catch one of them.

    He’s playing too much IMO and is wearing down. This is the 86th game he’s caught in this year; this is the Sox 101st game. I’d rather see him catching about 70% of the time. He’d be much fresher.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Scary though; visions of Beltre and Ellsbury on that one.
  5. illinoisredsox
    That will probably be it for Ray and the Jays pen hadn’t been great.

    That pane of glass thing had to be a totally different pitch. Kike was called out on a pitch in the middle of the plate at or below the strike zone. The pane of glass showed a pitch 6 inches inside. It may have been the ball 3 pitch. For the record, it looked like a strike to me; certainly one that’s too close to take.

    Ray at least threw competitive pitches to Dalbec; that last slider was nasty. He just kept throwing the ball lower and lower to Chavis, who obliged by swinging at at least 2 balls.
  8. illinoisredsox
    He may have called for the fastball, but his target was about a foot towards the left handed batters box.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Whatever that’s supposed to mean (but then I really don’t care).
  10. illinoisredsox
    It just looks like Ray’s gets on the hitters quicker; might be his motion. It also looks more like the old “rising” fastball (acknowledging that the ball doesn’t actually rise).
  11. illinoisredsox
    Hope it picks up; I’ve got a 3:30 tee time tomorrow afternoon.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Richards’ fastball doesn’t have the same location and especially movement.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Ray’s too good a pitcher to let those opportunities go by.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Is this game tortoise pace or snail pace?
  15. illinoisredsox
    He’s got a good one; there’s some movement there. Of course they get the fly ball they needed 1or 2 batters earlier.
  16. illinoisredsox
    OTOH, the Jays have hit him pretty hard the previous 4 times he’s faced them this year, so it’s anyone’s guess as to what happens from here.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Well, Richards usually does better the second time through, so we’ll have to see.
  18. illinoisredsox
    It works in the minors because they don’t have split admission; 14 innings for the price of 9. Of all the new rules, 7 inning games will be the first to go. The extra inning rule is okay IMO in that it eliminates those marathon games that take a toll for several days. I’d modify it and play normal for 2-3 innings and then have it kick in for the 12th or 13th. I’d probably go for 3 old style extras to potentially allow one full trip through the batting order. Seems to me that would be a decent blend.
  19. illinoisredsox
    That’s a rhetorical question, right?
  20. illinoisredsox
    Not that easy. All have between game activities they go through, including when they thrown in between starts. Maybe they throw two days before a start (I don’t know, just tossing a hypothetical out). Houck would have thrown yesterday in prep for tomorrow and Thursday’s starter throws today. Using Houck in relief tonight messes that up completely. Even if it’s 3 days before a start, you are still upsetting that schedule. Houck is prepped for tomorrow, no way you use him tonight.
  21. illinoisredsox
    I would think about avoiding having Pivetta pitch against Toronto. 4 games, 21 1/3 innings, 30 hits, 19 runs (18 earned), 8 walks, 6 homers, a 1.781 WHIP and a 7.59 ERA.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Not enough to overturn it.
  23. illinoisredsox
    That was hit real hard
  24. illinoisredsox
    Pivetta isn’t sharp and the Jays have hit him pretty hard this year; coming into tonight they gotten him for 14 runs in 17 innings in 3 games. Tonight seems to be more of the same.
  25. illinoisredsox
    He’s succeeding.
