What’s the record for wild pitches in an inning?
-
I know you did. And I said at the time the 7th was too early. Years ago, the Sox would sometimes run for Ortiz in the 8th. Often as not, his spot would come up in the 9th or 10th snd he’s on the bench. Never pinch run until you have to.
-
He did, in the 9th. And it worked.
-
Like I said earlier, not in the 7th. And does Duran get a hit in the 9th like Dalbec did?
-
Gardener is such a PITA. The type of player you love on your team and hate on the other.
-
He’s normally their 8th inning guy, right? Neither set-up guy had it tonight.
-
I’m guessing Vaz to first, Kike to 2nd, Duran in center and Plawecki behind the dish for the 10th. Barnes on the mound. Edit-Plawecki to first is Cora’s choice.
-
He’s fast but he can’t pinch run and pinch hit at the same time.
-
Well, you would be an expert on being a jerk. Have a good evening.
-
No, the fact is that statement was an opinion. However, glad to see you are still bucking for that diplomat job at the State Department.

Good
-
So who would you put in? You won’t answer, you never do.
-
A couple irrational posters sure can ruin them.
-
7th inning? Nah. 9th I’d agree.
-
Damn.
-
WTF does this mean?
-
Dalbec scores on a hit to the outfield. You can’t plan a pinch runner around trying to score from second on an infield hit.
-
Just have to get to Chapman.
-
Ottavino doesn’t have it tonight. This is going to be a tough inning.
-
Did he run through a stop sign or did the 3rd base coach send him?
-
There are too many people here who just don’t get the art of pitching. You saw a prime example tonight of Warren Spahn’s statement that hitting is timing and pitching is upsetting timing. Of course, what did he know, he only won 360 games give or take.

Didn’t Bard ask to be a starter? As for losing the strike zone, that began in September 2011, when he along with the entire Sox pitching staff imploded. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=bardda01&t=p&year=2011

Pretty good? The teams he had in the early 70s were great and they were always in contention throughout his first term as their manager. During his first tenure with the Orioles, he managed 14 full seasons. They won 100 games 5 times (3 of those on a row) and he had only 3 years where the team failed to win 90 games (2 of those were strike shortened). He had a partial year in 1968 when he took over the club at midseason and he had them on a pace to win 96 games. He retired the first time after the 1982 season, and the O’s won the World Series in 2983 with a team Weaver built. Camden Yards didn’t open until 1992, 6 years after his second tenure in Baltimore.

A Realistic View at 2021: Part II

The original Senators won the World Series in 1924, beating the Giants in 7 games. I recall reading it took a couple of bad hop singles to accomplish it, but they did it. -

Complete 20-30 hindsight. It would have been a crapshoot as to how effective any pitcher may or may not have been in that downpour.
