    Was that Curt Gowdy’s first year with the Sox broadcast team or Ned Martin’s?

    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.

    Lots of guys did.

    My guess is Barnes is not available.
  5. illinoisredsox
    I put no stock on anything they say; they they basically said they didn’t want to speculate further.
  6. illinoisredsox
    ESPN said something about a situation away from the ballpark.
  7. illinoisredsox
    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.
  8. illinoisredsox
    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.
  9. illinoisredsox
    IMO Vazquez is playing way too much. Plawecki should be catching 1-2 games a week; he’s not right now, Christian looks tired
  10. illinoisredsox
    I wouldn’t send him out for the fifth. You want a win, learn to throw strikes.

    My wife and I are in “Houston” visiting our son and his fiancé; we will be at Truist Park tonight.

    Vlad is hitting everything; he’s in one of those zones.
  13. illinoisredsox
    As hot as he is, bouncing it may not have worked. Maybe roll a ground ball; hard to lift that.
  14. illinoisredsox
    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.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Taylor?
  16. illinoisredsox
    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.

    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.
  18. illinoisredsox
    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.
  19. illinoisredsox
    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.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Same question, why engage him?
  21. illinoisredsox
    Why do people engage with this attention seeking troll?
  22. illinoisredsox
    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.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Easy enough to do.
  24. illinoisredsox
    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.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Might be why you didn’t see Sawamura tonight. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Barnes out until Wednesday.
