    Never

    Except if you add the rest of the theorem “unless acted upon by an outside force”. Like the opponent’s next starting pitcher. Then it’s not so misapplied.

    He was never the same after that apple hit him in the head.

    Just saw this on the new CBA negotiations. First luxury tax would kick in at $180M with 3 rates above that. However, there is also a proposal for a $100M salary floor, which would be fantastic IMO. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/08/mlb-reportedly-proposes-180mm-first-luxury-tax-threshold-100mm-salary-floor-to-mlbpa.html

    The Sox released him, so Boston is responsible for all but the prorated part of the MLB minimum. Seattle is paying him somewhere between $130K and 140K.

    His D seems to follow his O. If he’s hitting well, his D is good. When he’s slumping at the plate, he carries it to the field.

    They look too young for that but it wouldn’t surprise me if most are college players or perhaps players who played in college but gave up the sport. I think I remember reading about one from a few years ago who was a women’s college hockey goalie who had played softball all through high school.

    The ball girls played their usual stellar defense on foul balls; I’m always amazed at how good those girls are, especially when you compare how poor their counterparts in other parks seem to be.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Not sure that would be a bad thing.
  10. illinoisredsox
    This might just qualify as the worst all around performance of the year. Bad pitching, bad hitting, bad defense and bad base running.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Well at least it was this year.
  12. illinoisredsox
    If I’m the Sox, I wouldn’t try too hard to get tomorrow’s game in.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Wasn’t that 21 straight by the O’s to start the season?
  14. illinoisredsox
    Or what? What are YOU going to do?
  15. illinoisredsox
    The only silver lining is that it counts as 1 loss. I guess if you’re going to suck, it may as well be all phases in a given game. Nothings worse than the hitting being there one day but the pitching be terrible followed by the reverse the next day.

    Richards and Perez have already been replaced; both will be gone. ERod will also be gone as will a couple guys at the back end of the bullpen. I think there will be a couple of every day players traded or released who will be total surprises.

    That one was dumber than Martinez’s. There is no reason for Kike to be that far off the base on that, especially with no one out.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Like I said to Jung, it took a helluva play by the RF to get JD. Wonder if he’s a converted left side infielder the way he threw on the run.
  19. illinoisredsox
    One throw was up the first base line: that one was on the 3rd base side. Helluva a play by the Rangers’ RF though. The only way he makes that play is to throw on the run like tgat. Kid’s got an arm.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Care to be a little more specific? What’s unbelievable?
  21. illinoisredsox
    ERod being his usual efficient self.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Wow. TV guys just relayed an incredible story about the Rangers’ OF Pozo. With the minors shut down he was homeless a year ago. For those who want to read more: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2021/08/18/through-the-cracks-how-yohel-pozo-went-from-homelessness-to-hitting-home-runs-with-the-rangers/%3FoutputType%3Damp

    ERod pretends to cover first which led to an infield hit. Been that way since that knee injury a few years ago. At first, he didn’t bother trying at all; now he jogs over sort of covering the bag.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Jung has opened a thread for the 8/21 game; move over to that one for discussion.
  25. illinoisredsox
    I recall the Sox moving a Sunday game up a day and playing a doubleheader on a Saturday against the A's about 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure it was 2011, because for some reason I always remember it occurring right before the September collapse that year.
