    We've got some serious s*** to iron out here folks. If they don't resume, what are the forum rules for starting the next game thread?
  2. illinoisredsox
    The only real viable option is August 15. Sox are at Cleveland the day before and home on the 16th. KC is in the middle of a home stand. The only other common days are August 22 and September 2. Royals are at Baltimore the day before and go home on the 23rd. Red Sox are traveling to San Diego for game on the 23rd. 9/2 the Sox are getting done with a west coast swing that ends on the 1st. KC again is in the middle of a home stand. Or they could just decide to wait and play it after the season ends if it matters (it won’t)

    They’ll go as long as they can. No more games with KC this year and from what the radio guys have said, once it starts it’s supposed to rain most of the night.

    It would have been awfully hard for him to stay as hot as he was.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Oh yeah, before someone else says it, another blown save.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Depends. Give one up on a pitch down the middle, sure. Give it up on a pitch on the black or on what should be a ball, different story. In fact, in ERod’s case, I’d rather he give up an 0-2 hit than nibble, end up at 3-2 and then give it up.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Okay both teams, that pitch has been called a strike all night both ways. The hitters need to adjust.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Right now he has to harness the two he has. If he stays in the pen, he probably won't need a 3rd or 4th pitch.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Listening to the game, but it doesn't sound like either the double or the single were exactly roped. More worried about Eovaldi.
  10. illinoisredsox
    I agree. This isn't a guy who is choosing to "walk" away or was hurt doing something stupid in the off-season. It's baseball injury related. You have to honor the terms of the contract. Now when the next CBA comes up, perhaps language can be negotiated so that situations like this don't count against the various cap levels. But those aren't the rules right now.

    From Boston.com: Dr. Christopher Geary, an orthopedic surgeon at Tufts Medical Center who has not treated Pedroia, described this type of operation as “a much bigger procedure’’ than anything Pedroia has had to this point. “If he was 16, they do either knee replacement or a partial knee replacement,’’ said Geary. “But because of his age [35], there’s a relatively newer technique where they take what’s called a mega allograft. They take it from a cadaver and plug it in where the cartilage is no good.” https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2019/08/07/dustin-pedroia-knee-surgery-2 It goes on to say that this is a day to day living procedure, not a get back to playing sports procedure.
  12. illinoisredsox
    No he didn’t. If he pinch hits Travis for Moreland, KC brings on a right hander who was warm in the pen. Just depends on which matchup he preferred. No idea what the pitcher-hitter stats are.
  13. illinoisredsox
    I hate when people say that. It's baseball. You never know when the opposing pitcher will have "that" start where everything is working. Or one of those nights where every bloop by the opponent drops in and every line drive you hit is right at somebody. The season tends to iron these things out, a single game does not. Merrifield gets a couple hits (not an out of nowhere possibility, he's 2nd in the league behind Devers) and Soler follows with a couple homers (ditto, he's 5th overall in the AL) and all of a sudden the Royals have 4 runs on the board.
  14. illinoisredsox
    If he’s so worthless, how did he go the entire month of July giving up no runs and only 3 hits over 10 appearances?
  15. illinoisredsox
    Lost to the Giants in 2014; beat the Mets in 2015.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Agree. Even if it's for next year, they have to figure out whatever it is. And it's not like there's some kid at Pawtucket being held back.
  17. illinoisredsox
    DH was a starter until a couple months ago. He had insane control issues this year, like walking close to 1 batter per inning. Previous years were a little better, but it was still 5 or so per 9 innings. Until/unless he harnesses that, there's no way he can be a starter.
  18. illinoisredsox
    It's all over. Clap. Clap. Clap, clap, clap. It's all over. Clap. Clap. Clap, clap, clap.
  19. illinoisredsox
    I've said it jokingly, but the Red Sox have always done well the first 18 years of a century.
  20. illinoisredsox
    At least Sale looked pissed. Price looked like he didn’t care. Perhaps he should channel some of that Eck rage.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Johnson maybe. Velazquez is a joke.
  22. illinoisredsox
    It won’t happen but it would be great if absolutely no one showed up to watch.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Travis is going to be in the lineup a lot the last 50 games, both at 1st and in left. He’s going to get a long look to see if he’s a viable bench candidate in 2020.
  24. illinoisredsox
    You’ve got nothing to worry about.
  25. illinoisredsox
    That was before my time, my first year as a fan was 1967 when I was 8. I do remember him with the Tigers.
