Grape might just be the right adjective. That had all the fortitude of grape jelly.
-
Nice economical 35 pitch first for Bello.
-
He had 3 sacs last year and 2 the year before that, so it’s not like he’s never done it, but he’s not great at it (who is these days?). I seem to recall at least a couple times last year when he failed and then bailed himself out with a hit

That didn’t age well.

The Inquisition, what a show.

Do you have Rafaela bunt Duran to 3rd and hope Mayer or Durbin can score him or just swing away?

The Red Sox Still Have A Trevor Story Problem
illinoisredsox replied to Alex Mayes's topic in Talk Sox Front Page News
Ya gotta admit TYPM is consistent. Every reply pretty much the same. No matter what the subject of the article/post, work in a slam of Cora to start off (and make no mistake here, there are things about Cora that could be discussed). Then make sure we all know how bad Abreu, Narvaez and Mayer are while making sure we all know that Campbell's problems are the organization's fault for moving him off his "natural" position (something that virtually every right handed position player in the majors (infield and outfield) had to do and something that didn't seem to adversely affect Campell during his rapid rise through the minors). -
Red Sox Select Contract of Pitcher Jack Anderson
illinoisredsox replied to Nick John's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Totally agree. This was an early season marathon thinking type game, not a September sprint one. Not to mention the hits that caused the fatal damage all occurred within a span of 7 pitches (the ABs took 9 pitches). After Keaschall walked to load the bases (which is when you might start warming a guy up with a Crochet on the mound): Jeffers singled home 1 run on the 3rd pitch Bell doubled home 2 on the 1st pitch Caratini hit a 3 run homer on the first pitch Wallner grounded out on the 2nd pitch Lee flied out on the first pitch Kreidler homered on the first pitch 6 batters, 9 pitches, 2 outs and 4 run scoring hits. Relievers warm up fast, but not that fast. -
I’d settle for that, especially his age 28-34 years.
-
Let's hope he's around long enough to give up 400 homers in his career. That would put him in some pretty good company, including guys like Randy Johnson, Steve Carlton and Warren Spahn. Not holding my breath, but ...

I’ll take negativity from guys like you, notin, moonslav and others who post in good times and bad. I don’t need to read it from guys who only show up when the Sox are losing and are nowhere to be found when things are going well.
-
Abel’s a decent pitcher but he’s not this good.
-
He’s a clown. He’s (supposedly) watching the Bruins but manages to come on here multiple times since he posted that and leave his usual drivel. I don’t give out ignores very much, but Fred adds nothing and has earned that “honor” from me.
-
Hey Wilyer, you’re losing 6-0. Not time for styling.
-
That was an utterly stupid one.
-
Contreras’ back could be a major concern.
-
Same clown they’ve had the past couple years, Peter Fatse, who stinks at his job. Heard an interesting thing today that last year, Bregman noticed something with Story, after which Story had a really good last 2/3 of the season. It wasn’t Fatse, it was Bregman who turned Trevor around.
-
I’m not in love with Cora, but I think his hands are tied. He’s got a s***** roster. As an organization, the Sox are wedded to a crap one size fits all hitting philosophy. I’d blame Driveline, but the Dodgers use them and they seem to be doing fine. Of course, they probably paid to hire the Driveline guys who know what they’re doing. The Sox cheaped out and hired the guys who told Jim Rice to get lost in spring training when some young kid had the audacity to ask a HOF hitter for advice. These guys may well have ruined Campbell and who knows who else.

I think it was the 11th, and most of the first 10 declined to even interview.
-
To be fair, Twins are white hot right now. They've won 7 of 8 and beat up on two other all-stars in Skubel and Framber Valdez in the last week. Sometimes it’s when you play a team, not who you play
-
One thing I’m seeing is the Twins are going to up to the plate with a plan. They look for a pitch and they aren’t missing it. The Sox plan appears to be swing hard and hope the pitcher hits the bat.
-
Well, it’s not going to matter if the Sox offense stays in St. Louis. Meanwhile, the Twins are way too comfortable in the box. A couple high and tight might be in order.
-
Twins are getting all manner of hits. Well hit homers, ground balls going through, dinks in the first inning. When a team is hot …
-
The big damage happened in 8 pitches That’s how many Crochet threw between the hit that drove in the 5th run and the solo homer for run number 11. And those 8 pitches contained 2 outs. 8 pitches and 7 runs scored.

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I
illinoisredsox replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Because Henry isn't going to eat $36M plus whatever said replacement would cost and Breslow has been told that in no uncertain terms.
