    Wasn’t much there to take. He had some nasty movement and was commanding it. Held Oakland to 1 hit over 6 his last time out as well, so it wasn’t just today.

    Unfortunately for the Sox, good Happ showed up today. He really hasn’t given the Sox hitters much.
  3. illinoisredsox
    And Brewer only made the one bad pitch to Encarnacion. The double that scored 2 was a weak fluky hit that could have been caught. Can’t really blame the pitcher on that one.

    I see SwihartsGhost has taken over for dmoney as the easiest way to tell if the Sox are losing. Don’t reply Ghost, I won’t see it.

    If winning the World Series was a train wreck, what do you call this year?
  6. illinoisredsox
    This year. Last year the throw would have hit a pebble and deflected far enough away to allow the run to score.
  7. illinoisredsox
    That would explain why you’re here and 30 other people are managing major league teams.

    More to the point the Twins pitching was really good tonight. What blew it was 9 walks by Red Sox pitching.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Nothing wrong with trying to score the run there. The LF has to field it cleanly and make a good throw to home where the catcher has to field it and make the tag. The Twins did all three and made the play. Sometimes that happens.

    You would have walked the tie run to second?
  11. illinoisredsox
    That just may be the dumbest question ever asked on this board.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Ridiculous.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Just this year? They’ve been cheating since the 50s and probably before that.

    Beyond both being southpaws, I don’t see it. ERod always had stuff, he had to harness it (and still does to some extent). He was also having those issues at what, 23-25 yo. Johnson is 28 and has no where near ERod’s physical gifts.

    It's been strictly platoon for a while lately, especially in the OF and at 1B. You obviously haven't noticed.
  16. illinoisredsox
    You two probably haven't noticed that JBJ hasn't been starting against lefties on this trip. The Angels starter was another lefty.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Always remember an expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less. Verlander was in a rocking chair after the 1st. He walked the second batter of the game and then retired 26 in a row. Total dominance.
  18. illinoisredsox
    You have to wonder how much “modern” thinking would have messed with guys like Greg Maddox or Tom Glavine.
  19. illinoisredsox
    I think you might be surprised if relief pitchers were actually allowed to go more than an inning at a time and starters were expected to go 7 or more. Train them to go it and I think they can. Learn to get out of the messes you get into. Learn to pitch when you don’t have your best stuff.
  20. illinoisredsox
    That’s probably not true. The EEI guys were saying that pitchers are babied from the moment they sign. They aren’t trained to go even 6 innings any more, let alone 9. So a change will take a few years and start in Rookie and Low A ball. They gave a quote (or at least a paraphrase) from Curt Schilling. Pitchers are like dogs, they do what you train them to do.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Really? Do you even know what the word monopoly means? No other team in MLB has even one s***** reliever?
  22. illinoisredsox
    Were they available today? Based on the choices made tonight, I’d guess no. That’s info that Cora has and we don’t. DHern went 2 last night, throwing 42 pitches. Workman went 1 1/3, threw 29 pitches, maybe half of which are for strikes. He may have been available for a one inning save, but no way was he going more than 1.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Yes, you did. Full credit there. I take issue with the posters who only comment on a move after the results are known.
  24. illinoisredsox
    And bring in who? Taking Brasier out is only half the move.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Who else are you going to use? Pen went 11 last night and 7 so far tonight.
