    Just a guess, but with the lefty on the mound for the Astros, it’s a chance to give him a day off. Alex went 0-3 against this kid last week with 2 Ks and a groundout to 3rd. I get the sentiment from you, but depending on how his swings looked last week, etc., Alex may or may not be the best bet. Cora has far more insight.

    He needs to play to have any hope of getting his stroke. Who are you going to bench to allow that in Boston right now? It’s not going to be Verdugo or Renfroe. Kike is a far better OF than Cordero. And who plays first? Swap Cordero for Dalbec and you have Marwin or Santana at first every game, which doesn’t sound all that appetizing.

    Same question, why engage him?
  4. illinoisredsox
    Why do people engage with this attention seeking troll?

    BTW, ND’s baseball team won their regional this afternoon to move on in the NCAA tournament, out scoring Central Michigan and UConn 50-5 in 3 games. Some guy named Kavadas hit 5 homers in the games; after the 5th today, CMU walked him 4 times, including once with men on 1st and 2nd and no one out. The next batter promptly hit a grand slam.

    Easy enough to do.

    For those who go back far enough, does the way Richards escapes jams remind anyone of the Spaceman, Bill Lee? Guys always on base, get 2-3 DPs to get out of innings. Richards has better stuff, but the MO similarity just struck me.

    Might be why you didn’t see Sawamura tonight. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Barnes out until Wednesday.
  9. illinoisredsox
    In that situation, why? Odor was on 3rd, he either going to score no matter what or the game’s over. Wade’s the tie run, need to keep him at first.

    Why wasn’t Vazquez backing up 1st? Edit - game ended as I typed this
  11. illinoisredsox
    Damn.
  12. illinoisredsox
    That’s the key. Barnes should not have had to pitch last night.
  13. illinoisredsox
    In the past he hasn’t done well pitching 2 straight days; no idea if he’s ever pitched 3 in a row. Plus while he only threw 5 pitches last night, he did have to warm up so there is some wear and tear there.
  14. illinoisredsox
    There’s a reason he’s not managing in the big leagues. Or the minors. Or coaching high school. Or …
  15. illinoisredsox
    Who else?
  16. illinoisredsox
    In theory, it could be. Get one of those Ks on a passed ball/wild pitch and then get the 4th guy on 3 pitches as well. You get credit for 4 Ks on that situation.

    King just had an Immaculate Inning, striking out the side on 9 pitches.
  18. illinoisredsox
    That’s up 25 points from earlier this week; I recall the announcers saying he was hitting .165 sometime during the Houston series.
  19. illinoisredsox
    For someone who throws uppers 90s to 100, he doesn’t strike out a whole lot of guys.
  20. illinoisredsox
    True, but I recall him moving quicker than that. Of course, he only takes 5 steps to reach first.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Worth a shot. 0-2 count, etc. I don’t like the dive into home, catchers got gear on just looks like an injury waiting to happen.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Oh, I know, and he had those two soft hits last night off them as well. But nobody sees that many fastballs in a row. You don’t see it to the worst hitting pitcher, let alone an everyday player.
  23. illinoisredsox
    That change up to Devers broke a streak of 56 consecutive fastballs to the Sox 3rd sacker.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Brewer was DFAd
  25. illinoisredsox
    The real burning question is will Devers see something besides a fastball. After the game last night, I went back and checked the pitch by pitch logs. He has seen 48 straight fastballs. The first two games of the series was all four seamers and last night was virtually all sinkers (I think there was 1 four seamer) from the starter and then back to the four seamers from the closer. Didn’t they say he was hitting .165 against fastballs this season? Of course, that went up with his pair of infield hits last night.
