    2 of those hits were due to the stupid shift.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Better hope so, or there's no reset on the luxury tax and we'll be subject to another year of this.
  3. illinoisredsox
    But how do you really feel?
  4. illinoisredsox
    Sox would only be obligated for the MLB minimum; other issues may be in play
  5. illinoisredsox
    Caught stealing.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, I wondered if that rundown the other night was it. Lin is probably saying thanks, you had to miss tonight? Thanks
  7. illinoisredsox
    Almost looked like a balk there. Did DeGrom come set?
  8. illinoisredsox
    What’s the word on Bogie tonight? Missed anything they said (if anything).
  9. illinoisredsox
    Probably. He looks sharp which does not bode well for the Sox.
  10. illinoisredsox
    What’s DeGrom’s pitch count? Getting to the pen might be our best bet. 95 mph slider is sick.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Maybe you should delete it now.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Have to let him clear waivers though. Take him now and you pay his whole $6.5M contract. Sign him if he clears and you only have to pay the minimum salary and the Braves pick up the rest.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Didn’t we see this start last year?
  14. illinoisredsox
    Which if the Mets ss has played it correctly it would have been.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Did you see that MLB has decided that the Yankees get to play the Orioles instead of the Phillies the next two nights. They get their favorite whipping boys 12 times now instead of 10.
  16. illinoisredsox
    True, but the pitching has been better tonight than the past 3 games. Not great, but better.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Let’s not pretend the pitchers have been rocked this evening. Hall gives up a ground ball single to where the 2nd baseman traditionally plays. Cespedes gets hit by a pitch that just nicks his elbow gear. Yes, Cano hit the ball hard. The walk hurt because it was followed by that jam shot blooped into right. Brice gives up the doink off the Pesky Pole. The Mets dont have a lot of hard hit balls tonight, but they’ve hit balls in perfect spots.
  18. illinoisredsox
    It is amazing how many Pesky Pole homers the opposition gets each year. The Sox seem to get 1 or 2 a year.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Played right by the Mets, that could have easily been a triple play if there were no outs.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Shows how dumb you are; the play got the Sox a run. The Mets’ ss blew it by not 1) not tagging Beni and then stepping on the base or 2) touching the bag and making the easy throw to first to double up Devers.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Actually a smart play by Beni. He knew the ball wasn’t caught; he messed up the Mets by going. All they had to do was make the toss to first to complete the DP. He got the Sox one anyway.
  22. illinoisredsox
    As Eck said, he’ll learn.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Even offensively challenged teams have guys who can hurt you. Conforto and Alonso are 2 of the best young power hitters in the game (Alonso might be the best power hitter period). Offensively challenged teams can't string together 5-6 hits in a row, but they can hit homers. What the Mets did was hit multi-run homers. All of the Sox homers this year have been solo. Any pitcher will tell you they really don't care about giving up solo homers; they don't hurt you any worse than 3 singles, and in fact are probably better since once the guy crosses the plate, you start clean with no one on base.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Yes, but it doesn't matter whether you buy into it; it matters if the player buys into it. The modest offensive success Bradley has had over his 7 big league seasons has come at the bottom of the line-up. When he has moved up, the results have been very poor (admittedly SSS).
  25. illinoisredsox
    So? All the guys who went to college hit in the top half of the line-up there. The college players who hit at the bottom don't get drafted.
