    Like someone posted in the trade deadline thread, look at what teams had to give up for Scherzer and Berrios. The Sox don’t have those type guys in the system right now.
  2. illinoisredsox
    No. These guys have been in a five man rotation for their entire careers. A 4 man is just inviting injury.
  3. illinoisredsox
    All I’ll say is the starters have not adjusted well to the 6 man rotation. I think it’s an experiment that needs to end.
  4. illinoisredsox
    The short benches really make it tough.
  5. illinoisredsox
    With that walk, Vaz has cost the Sox 1 run so far. This hasn’t been Kike’s best situation unfortunately.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Day off is one thing; benching implies something a little more long term.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Second time this week he’s done that. Stupid.
  8. illinoisredsox
    In favor or who? Connor Wong? He either starts hitting or he doesn’t, and he isn’t going to break out of it from the bench. If he doesn’t start hitting, the Sox aren’t going anywhere.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Which is why I gave you attribution. Actually, he’ll probably throw a simulated game; I guess both the Boston and Worcester have the day off. And I think you’re right, he probably is the only one they could send directly down snd without player permission.
  10. illinoisredsox
    2 runs is a big hole?
  11. illinoisredsox
    They've been doing that; the results of the 6 man rotation have been less than stellar the past few weeks.
  12. illinoisredsox
    He was sent down to keep an extra position player around (which with Rafi hurt isn't the worst idea). He will throw in Worcester on 4 days rest and then, as Splinter said, he'll be recalled to pitch one of the doubleheader games next Saturday, again on 4 days rest.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Intentionally or unintentionally, he’s doing a marvelous job of mocking the Ghost

    Duran isn't going to the bench. He needs to play every day (or at least often) to try and fix his batting woes; that's not going to happen on the Boston bench. When Schwarber comes back, Duran goes to Worcester until September call-ups.
  15. illinoisredsox
    If history is any indication, not much.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Well, if Dalbec goes 0-5, the Sox are probably in good shape, since it takes 16 guys getting on base to get the #8 guy up 5 times.
  17. illinoisredsox
    I like putting Duran down at the end of the line-up. He looked like he was was pressing up top.
  18. illinoisredsox
    What was the last thing you approved of? Or is approving of anything metaphysically impossible for you?
  19. 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.
  20. illinoisredsox
    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.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Scary though; visions of Beltre and Ellsbury on that one.
  22. illinoisredsox
    That will probably be it for Ray and the Jays pen hadn’t been great.
  23. illinoisredsox
    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.
  24. illinoisredsox
    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.
  25. illinoisredsox
    He may have called for the fastball, but his target was about a foot towards the left handed batters box.
