    Yep. Had the chance to break it open, failed to do so. How many times have we seen that this year?
  2. illinoisredsox
    Could very well be. All I know is he came into tonight slashing .419/.514/1.000/1.514 against the Sox and with what he’s done tonight, only the OBP has gone down (it’s 2-4 tonight so it’s gone down slightly). Personally, I think his butt should have hit the dirt a couple times this year.

    Does it really matter?
  4. illinoisredsox
    Tellez has killed us all year. Hasn’t mattered who’s been on the mound.

    Problem is Theo holds the same position with the Cubs that DD had with the Red Sox. It would be a lateral move which are generally frowned upon in MLB. At best the Cubs would want significant compensation, and it will be far beyond what the teams worked out last time.
  6. illinoisredsox
    The standard rule of thumb is teams generally don’t allow lateral moves. So if Hazen is a candidate, it would have to be for Dombrowski’s current position rather than a straight up GM job.

    Mal has a serious man crush on Big Papi. Personally, I don’t see why David would ever want to wade into the world of baseball management at any level.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Most of us would love to pretend we care, but don’t. You have become a complete dick.
  9. illinoisredsox
    There’s even a board here where he can post to his delight. Hint Assman, it ain’t this one.

    You really need to learn the value of an unexpressed thought.

    I think even the most optimistic must now agree with this:

    I’ve sort of jokingly said several times that the Red Sox always do well the first 18 years of a century. Let’s just hope history doesn’t repeat for the next 15 years because the Sox really sucked from 1919 until 1934. And I mean sucked as in last place finishes for a lot of years in a row.
  13. illinoisredsox
    So effing what?
  14. illinoisredsox
    If I was a GM I would never trade with the Yankees; the Evil Empire always seems to wind up on the better end of the deal. Goes for the Cardinals , too.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Minor league seasons ended last Monday; everyone who is going to come up is up. Plus if they bring up Dalbec, et al now, do they lose a year of control (I honestly don’t know)?
  16. illinoisredsox
    They want to keep him. But he has to show something offensively to justify it. Platooning is an attempt to do that, and he’s blowing that chance as well.
  17. illinoisredsox
    No it’s not. Refuse to play the game.
  18. illinoisredsox
    I’ll disagree somewhat on the Buchholz analogy. Yes, they both get hurt s lot. But Clay seemingly would only want to pitch when he felt 100%. There is no indication of Moreland milking an injury or only going when perfect. He often played hurt to the detriment of the club and himself (remember that broken toe from a couple years ago that he tried to play through?).
  19. illinoisredsox
    Nice try, won’t work.
  20. illinoisredsox
    From the standpoint of a game thread, yes. Has nothing to do with the game. I don’t care if someone’s the most ardent (insert name of current Democratic politician), a never Trumper, a sometimes Trumper or a always Trumper, when it comes to the game thread, I’ll loosely borrow from Hyman Roth in Godfather II: The game thread is about the game. Politics has no business in it because politics has nothing to do with the game.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Leave the political stuff out guys. Don’t care which side you’re on.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Platoon situation. Going into this game, JBJ lifetime vs. Happ was 2-17, Travis was 2-3. Travis has had pretty good numbers against southpaw starters this year, JBJ has been terrible. Now, if you had said Travis should have been in left, Beni in center, Mookie in right and JD at dh, I’d agree.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Vazquez really looks like he could use a few days completely off. Even his “off” days he’s been in the line-up at 1B or dh.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Doesn’t matter how he’s done this year. It only mattered how he was today and today he was very, very good. Why is it so hard for many fans here to admit that sometimes the other guy pitched well?
  25. illinoisredsox
    Right. Happ has nothing to do with it. He was on today and when he’s on, he’s very, very good. Like I said, between this game and his last start against Oakland, he’s pitched 12 1/3 shutout innings and given up 3 hits.
