    Yeah, but this would have been 1970ish. Managers were not noted for going away from the book very often.

    With certain pitchers that would be very possible. When I was a kid, I went to a game at Shea between the Mets and the Cards. Bob Gibson was hitting 7th.

    He’ll pick tonight to have his best game of the season.

    Then why are people allowed to be in their seats? When I’ve gone to events with lightning, you have to clear the stands.

    I wonder if Happ was somehow delayed in returning from paternity leave but is on his way to the ball park. Cause it sure ain’t raining.
  6. illinoisredsox
    This I agree with. It's been an organizational thing from top to bottom. Check that - I'll absolve the batboys and ballgirls from any blame.

    Moon, they won’t call unless he tendered and is on contract. If he’s awarded a lower figure than this year, maybe they can trade him. If he’s awarded a higher figure, there’s no way he’ll be traded without the Sox picking up part of the contract, which sort of defeats the purpose. If he’s non-tendered, he’s a free agent.

    This has all the potential of the September 2011 collapse.

    I’d love to see Cora pull an Earl Weaver with Estabrook at the home plate meeting tonight.
  10. illinoisredsox
    I agree.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Well, don’t tell us, tell Cora and Dombrowski. I’m sure they’ll give it due consideration.

    The few pitches he threw up in the zone were correctly called. Sale did not get those same pitches. I don’t care if the ump has a small zone or a big one or if it’s shifted in or out one way or the other so long as it’s consistent for both sides. It wasn’t.
  13. illinoisredsox
    He will be gone or reassigned next year. He will no longer be the pitching coach though.
  14. illinoisredsox
    I don’t care about him one way or the other. But today it’s 3 innings, 3 hits, 1 run. He’s been fine.
  15. illinoisredsox
    German got the entire true strike zone plus extra. Sale got less than the full true zone.
  16. illinoisredsox
    And if he’s squeezing both I have no problem. He was only squeezing one of them and it affected the game.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Your blood pressure spiked today because of Josh Smith?
  18. illinoisredsox
    He’s called a total strike zone plus for German. He called a reduced strike zone for Sale. Like I said, unlike some here, I don’t complain about umps very much. This guy was brutally one sided.
  19. illinoisredsox
    No issue with it.
  20. illinoisredsox
    This is a very trolling post. You’re better than that. Sox hitters have had several pitches called strikes on them at the top of the zone. They’ve had several called strikes down and away as well. Yankee hitters have not had the same strike zone. I don’t normally complain about umps but this guy is totally one sided. Care to explain the Judge call?
  21. illinoisredsox
    Yep. At the very least he can spend a lot of time on paperwork.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Sox hitters are definitely not getting the same strike zone as Yankees hitters.
  23. illinoisredsox
    This won’t be the only ejection today. Sox ought to be screaming on anything resembling borderline. Clown can toss the whole team and save the pen.
  24. illinoisredsox
    He needed to get tossed before the acting manager came out. Then the reliever could take forever to warm up.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Sale needs to get tossed on some pitch; then have the new reliever take about an hour to warm up.
