  1. Yep, and then Bogie hit the ball a little too well.
  2. Yep, and the more guys you have to use, the more likely it will be that one of them doesn’t have it on a given night.
  3. Every possibility that a regular infielder gets that. Damn.
  4. Arroyo got hit in the hand again. With Verdugo out tonight, very limited options.
  5. When I was growing up in Southern Connecticut, we could get Met games on WOR Channel 9. I remember one afternoon, I want to say 1974 or 1975, I began watching a Mets-Giants game and told myself I’d watch until the no-hitters were broken up. A couple hours later, Ed Halicki completed a no-no. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen from start to finish.
  6. Well, since you asked so nicely, NO. Actually, I use ignore for posters who post complete drivel; you don’t do that. You may, however, think about developing a thicker skin. Feel free to have the last word.
  7. As the “pussy” you are referring to, all I’ll say is: ooh, another internet tough guy resorting to name calling because someone has the temerity to disagree with him. Still waiting on your response on where I make things up, but I knew you’d never follow through on that.
  8. Maybe Nick can enlighten us as to what MLB team he has run or how he just knows so much more than the people actually paid to run teams.
  9. I make stuff up? Show me when I’ve done that. And as a guy who reads “a lot”, you may want to review the meaning of hyperbole.
  10. Right, because a kid who has thrown 0 innings above AA (and only 70 innings at that level) should be thrown to the wolves ASAP. And if he failed, you’d have been the first one with the pitchfork saying why did we take this schmuck. Let’s see what happens when he hits a rough patch (he will) and how he reacts before we anoint him Pedro’s successor, okay?
  11. Maybe he should be saying it to Xander; without his error, Perez is out of that inning. Also struck out weakly with RISP a couple of times. Wouldn’t even need an interpreter.
  12. Layne hasn’t been stellar tonight; he’s not missing borderline stuff, he’s missing obvious stuff. He’s been bad both ways though, so he’s got that going for him.
  13. Pretty sure Kimmi was quoting MLB averages, not the 2020 Sox starters.
  14. You make that sound like a bad thing.😀
  15. A good point about the minors not being open for business yet. Houck will not be brought up unless they need a spot start or one of the starters goes down. Bazardo would be more likely (especially if his future is as a pen guy). One problem with sending Taylor down is it makes the pen even more right handed; that would leave Darwinzon as the only southpaw out there and reliable is not an adjective that describes him right now. Groome is the only other lefty on the 40 man and like Houck, he's a starter (and only has 20 minor league starts as it is). Taylor has had 4 good appearances, 2 terrible ones and 2 meh. I'm not saying he shouldn't be sent down, but the alternatives aren't exactly great.
  16. Including one to 3rd base.
  17. 1-11 with RISP tonight. 5-34 over the last 3 games.
  18. That would have been tough with Arroyo at 2nd but I like the sarcasm there.
  19. It would have summed up the night perfectly if that misplay had bounced back into fair territory with Verdugo standing around the plate.
  20. It’s been one ugly game. 2-11 (so far) with RISP hadn’t helped either. This would be a true team loss.
