    Quite the story about the umps and tv crew on their trip from New York last night.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Hate to see CC end like that; he was a true warrior in his prime who had the mindset of going 9 every time out and reinvented himself later on. He knew how to pitch.

    Never assume anything is over, especially with the Yankees having that deal with the devil. You have to kill them, put a stake through the heart, shoot them with a silver bullet, etc.

    I remember seeing Correa and Bregman playing shortstop in A ball here in the Quad Cities. I think it was back to back seasons but there may have been a 1 year gap.
  5. illinoisredsox
    No excuse for the Judge one. I’ll give the guy a break on the EE one since Cherinos caught it like he got an electric shock; that has to affect your vision on a breaking ball on the corner.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Cherinos is not helping his pitchers here.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Agree. He’s homered on lesser swings than that.
  8. illinoisredsox
    It’s there, just framed differently.

    the Yankees began the greatest choke in baseball history.

    the Sox began the greatest comeback in baseball history.

    No, but only because Henry has put a lid on salaries for now. And no way I sign ANY pitcher to a ten year contract; don't care if it's the reincarnation of 17 year old Bob Feller.
  12. illinoisredsox
    What? I Don’t Know about that. Maybe I’ll think about it later Today, or perhaps Tomorrow, Because I Don’t Give a Darn right now. OTOH, Why not?

    Then his salary comes off the books. But he has no reason to retire, even though he will never play again, nor should he. It’s not like he screwed up his knee doing something stupid in the off season. He was hurt on the field. He had a team friendly contract early on; overall he left money on the table when he signed the long term deal to stay in Boston. He’s owed x and he will be paid x. Thinking it will be any other way is stupid.

    He’s had this job before (from 2005-2012). Perhaps that pro scout, which I assume is scouting the minors for potential acquisitions, is something LeVangie is really good at. I have no idea how he performed in that role back then and neither do you. Overall those 8 years were pretty good ones for the Sox. He’s been around the Red Sox organization for over 20 years; he must have done something right. Not being a good pitching coach doesn’t make him inept in other baseball capacities.

    All people are saying is there’s no real hurry. The season ended 4 days ago, and it’s pretty much an unwritten rule that teams don’t make these types of announcements during post season play. If nothing is done after the World Series or the situation drags into January, then start complaining.
  16. illinoisredsox
    They aren’t going to get rid of him until they have an idea of who may be available as a replacement. Assistant coaches are a dime a dozen. Also, you are dealing with interim GM types here. The big positions will be decided by whoever gets the permanent job. The season’s been over for 3 days. Relax. If nothing’s been done by January, then start complaining.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Pedroia is hoping to avoid a knee replacement and/or be able to do everyday things; he’s never going to play again.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Well, I leave ERod in until the Sox are ahead or hopelessly behind. He’s earned the shot at 20.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Listening to the game, sounds like the Sox have hit several balls hard but right at people. OTOH, without the sun messing with Wilkerson, they’d likely be shut out until now.
  20. illinoisredsox
    So what else is news, especially lately. Sox have had problems with a lot of those type guys this year; O’s Friday night starter comes to mind.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Pats struggles had little to do with the Bills QB; the D pretty much shut both the starter and the backup down. Brady & company has a very tough day with the Bills D.
  22. illinoisredsox
    You can call it, but a) not all the time on an 0-2 pitch (which Vac does all the time) and don’t stand so high. When Leon does it, he shifts slightly higher but he doesn’t stand up. Also, no law says the target has to be the glove. Throw at the mask or the catchers helmet.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Who cares? I’ve been in and out over the past couple weeks, but didn’t Beni have a thumb issue recently?
  24. illinoisredsox
    But according to the OP, Workman is part of the problem since he walks so many. Unlike the rest of them, he at least seems able to work around them a vast majority of the time.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Im guessing a couple of them will not be playing at all.
