    Hey, look at the bright side. The ERA went down after the first inning to an even 21.00

    Did Hart forget to warm up or what.

    Bleeders hurt, but not as much as the walks that set it up.
  4. illinoisredsox
    I’m sure he has a future, but it is not as a major league baseball player.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Hence the ellipsis at the end of my post.

    To be fair, I don’t remember too many from the opponents either, but when you hit the fly ball far enough ...

    Nah, it’s an afternoon game. They’ll get there by the rush hour.

    On the plus side and in the hard to believe column, Bogaerts’ sac fly on the 5th was the Sox first of the year.

    The Olympic Rings for Chavis tonight or is it a platinum sombrero? Did he even hit a foul ball? Edit - I guess he did manage to foul 2 pitches off.

    Disagree on Hembree, overall this year he’s been pretty decent. He was awful tonight, no doubt about it. But coming into tonight, he’d allowed 2 runs in 9 2/3 innings over 10 appearances. He’d also walked only 2. He’s been fine as a 5th/6th/7th inning type. Frankly, I’ll take a guy who gives up a bunch of runs in one game out of 10 over one who gives 1 up every time he pitches. The others are very replaceable at this point.

    You don’t know if Bloom can evaluate pitching properly? Do you have any idea how many pitchers the Rays developed while he was part of both their minor league and major league departments? It’s statements like that that make it hard to take anything you post seriously.

    I’ve jokingly said over the past decade or so that the Red Sox always do well the first 20 years of a century. However, it is an unfortunate fact that the Sox were basically putrid for 15 years after they won the series in 1918. I can only hope history is not repeating itself.

    The thing is they aren’t cheapie Yankee Stadium homers for the most part, they are bombs.

    Nooooo, unless it is cancelled September 1 or later. Season has to get to that date for the luxury tax reset to occur. Otherwise, we’re going to be subject to this show again next season. What’s worse, teams like the Yankees and Dodgers would avoid the tax for another year. They may not care if they pay it, but at least they would have to.
  15. illinoisredsox
    I’m sorry, but there need to be some Yankees put on their butts. They are waaay too comfortable up there. Edit - And I mean all teams need to do this, not just the Sox.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Those are things the other team gets.

    I just looked up Perez’s stats vs. the Yanks. They are mindboggling. Going into this game, on 5 games and 22 innings, he has a 9.97 ERA, an OPS of 1.137 and a WHIP of 2.123. Those have not gone down tonight. Why would you ever send him out against NY?
  18. illinoisredsox
    Been an issue for years under multiple hitting coaches; it’s on the players.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Vas’s defense is decent, but IMO his game management is not; his pitch selections are somewhat predictable (I realize most are called from the bench). There are times a catcher has to go out and get on a pitcher. He has never done this, even before the mound visit limits. Leon would go out when needed, Vaz won’t. His hitting is always going to be sporadic but I can live with that from a catcher. He’s okay to keep, but he’s not a guy you build around, ergo, not a core guy.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Probably not, but at least tonight, he wasn’t horrible. Let’s face it, “not a major leaguer” describes at least half the staff, and 2-3 other guys are borderline.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Can’t always look at results. Mazza had some bad luck and gave up several soft hits. The one by Hicks sums up this season though. He looked good enough to give him another start. He may well pitch himself into oblivion. He didn’t do that tonight.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Okay, I was wrong.
  23. illinoisredsox
    I feel a record setter coming here.
  24. illinoisredsox
    You really had to work for that one. Only walked one guy too, which is a marked improvement over anything they’ve thrown out there lately.
  25. illinoisredsox
    For all the gnashing and wailing of teeth about Mazza, he really didn’t pitch that badly. Two bloop hits in the first led to a run. Horrible luck on the Hicks grounder hitting the bag in the 2nd. Torres gets a 60 foot squibber ahead of the one truly bad pitch he made. I’m not saying he was great, but I’d give him another shot. Weber got hit harder but got some at’em balls.
