  1. Valdez is doing nothing in Worcester that would merit his recall right now.
  2. Okay, it just seems like every time you type curve, your keyboard is autocorrecting to knuckle curve. It’s all good. I just don’t think that many guys throw an actual knuckle curve.
  3. Max, you do realize that a knuckle curve is not the same as a curve, right?
  4. Pop up to Dalbec should have ended the inning. Everything after that becomes unearned.
  5. Yep, got hit by a pitch on the hand or wrist by a Tiger pitcher as I recall.
  6. Stupid blackout rules; KC is 6 hours from here and I canprobably count on one hand the number of Royals hats I’ve ever seen here locally. I suppose they claim Iowa and I’m caught up bring just across the Mississippi.
  7. Was that Curt Gowdy’s first year with the Sox broadcast team or Ned Martin’s?
  8. Here’s one for you. May 1, 1920, the Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Robins played to a 1-1 tie in a game that went 26 innings and was called due to darkness. Pitchers Joe Oeschger and Leon Cadore both went the route in a game that was nearly equivalent to 3 full games and lasted 3:50.
  9. I put no stock on anything they say; they they basically said they didn’t want to speculate further.
  10. ESPN said something about a situation away from the ballpark.
  11. I’m guessing whatever stretching or other rigmarole McGwire needed to get ready to hit required more time than the normal pinch hitter gets. By hitting him in the first, McGwire could take the needed time.
  12. He doesn’t care. To him, 2 bunt hits is indicative of lousy pitching. JBJ pulling 3 balls back from over the fence is good pitching.
  13. IMO Vazquez is playing way too much. Plawecki should be catching 1-2 games a week; he’s not right now, Christian looks tired
  14. I wouldn’t send him out for the fifth. You want a win, learn to throw strikes.
  15. My wife and I are in “Houston” visiting our son and his fiancé; we will be at Truist Park tonight.
  16. Vlad is hitting everything; he’s in one of those zones.
  17. As hot as he is, bouncing it may not have worked. Maybe roll a ground ball; hard to lift that.
  18. He was never that good; even in 2019, he managed to walk 45 guys in 71 innings. He only gave up 29 hits that year though. I’d liken it a bit to Porcello the year he won the Cy Young; everything seemed to go right for him. But overall his career has been decidedly mediocre.
  19. I think it was Mussina who said you’ll start 32 games. You have everything working 8 of them, nothing working in 8 of them and something working in the others. This might be one of those second 8.
  20. He was on their postseason roster a year ago, starting 3 games and making one relief appearance. He went 3-1 with a 1.88 ERA and a 1.000 WHIP. That loss was 2-1. At age 27, he seems to have figured something out.
