    Whatever that’s supposed to mean (but then I really don’t care).
  2. illinoisredsox
    It just looks like Ray’s gets on the hitters quicker; might be his motion. It also looks more like the old “rising” fastball (acknowledging that the ball doesn’t actually rise).
  3. illinoisredsox
    Hope it picks up; I’ve got a 3:30 tee time tomorrow afternoon.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Richards’ fastball doesn’t have the same location and especially movement.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Ray’s too good a pitcher to let those opportunities go by.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Is this game tortoise pace or snail pace?
  7. illinoisredsox
    He’s got a good one; there’s some movement there. Of course they get the fly ball they needed 1or 2 batters earlier.
  8. illinoisredsox
    OTOH, the Jays have hit him pretty hard the previous 4 times he’s faced them this year, so it’s anyone’s guess as to what happens from here.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Well, Richards usually does better the second time through, so we’ll have to see.
  10. illinoisredsox
    It works in the minors because they don’t have split admission; 14 innings for the price of 9. Of all the new rules, 7 inning games will be the first to go. The extra inning rule is okay IMO in that it eliminates those marathon games that take a toll for several days. I’d modify it and play normal for 2-3 innings and then have it kick in for the 12th or 13th. I’d probably go for 3 old style extras to potentially allow one full trip through the batting order. Seems to me that would be a decent blend.
  11. illinoisredsox
    That’s a rhetorical question, right?
  12. illinoisredsox
    Not that easy. All have between game activities they go through, including when they thrown in between starts. Maybe they throw two days before a start (I don’t know, just tossing a hypothetical out). Houck would have thrown yesterday in prep for tomorrow and Thursday’s starter throws today. Using Houck in relief tonight messes that up completely. Even if it’s 3 days before a start, you are still upsetting that schedule. Houck is prepped for tomorrow, no way you use him tonight.

    I would think about avoiding having Pivetta pitch against Toronto. 4 games, 21 1/3 innings, 30 hits, 19 runs (18 earned), 8 walks, 6 homers, a 1.781 WHIP and a 7.59 ERA.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Not enough to overturn it.
  15. illinoisredsox
    That was hit real hard
  16. illinoisredsox
    Pivetta isn’t sharp and the Jays have hit him pretty hard this year; coming into tonight they gotten him for 14 runs in 17 innings in 3 games. Tonight seems to be more of the same.
  17. illinoisredsox
    He’s succeeding.
  18. illinoisredsox
    All I’m saying is Hatch is not strictly a AAA call-up. Looks like he has a decent fastball, but is having trouble tonight with his off-speed stuff. He’s only got 30 innings in at AAA this year, so his outing will be short in any event.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Which means nothing. He was on the 60 day IL a big part of the season; his AAA stint this year was more rehab than anything else. He also pitched pretty well for the Jays last year (17 games) and was on their postseason roster.
  20. illinoisredsox
    No. He’s been battling a wrist injury since the All-Star Break. If you’ve watched him swing the past couple weeks, you could see something wasn’t right. Such injuries are a real problem for any hitter. He really could use a week or 10 days off to let it heal, but I think they are going to try to nurse it along.
  21. illinoisredsox
    That is simple; the Rays. We have 13 games left with the Tampa; the opportunity is there to take care of them on our own. You need to drive a stake through the Yankees' heart and shoot them with a silver bullet. Until they are mathematically eliminated, you never want them to win.
  22. illinoisredsox
    I’d walk Kike; pitch to the kid.
  23. illinoisredsox
    The pitch to Odor wasn’t bad either, it barely scraped the wall
  24. illinoisredsox
    A fact lost on certain posters here.

    See your previous post about fairness.
