    How many at ‘em balls is that tonight?
  2. illinoisredsox
    If an Indian has got that ball, it would have floated just over the fence.

    Wrong state. We’re talking about Geneseo, IL

    At least the River Bandits are playing actual home games now. Through the first 1/3 of the season, they had been in Modern Woodman for a total of 2 games due to the Mississippi River flood (it was in flood stage from late March until early June).

    Yep. Yaz hit .301. Cater actually hit .290. IIRC, there were 4-5 guys in the NL over .300. I think it was the worst offensive season of the live ball era.

    What University?

    Same year Gibson recorded that 1.12 ERA. He also was never taken out of a game during an inning. Still boggles my mind that he lost 9 games with that season. The next year they lowered the mound from 15 inches to 10.

    Wow. When my older one was in junior high and high school, I made the trip to the high school a lot. Football and wrestling mostly. Still go over for the wrestling tournament in January.

    Where are you located? I’m in Moline.

    That AB sums up the season. Last year that foul tip is called and Ramirez strikes out. This year ...
  11. illinoisredsox
    No. Ever since that injury a couple years ago on a play at first, he has been very slow to cover if he covers at all.
  12. illinoisredsox
    He’ll take Weber’s place as the long guy; I would only use him in a game where the Sox fall behind by several runs such that if he’s terrible it really wouldn’t matter. I hear Eovaldi will pitch in an opener role Wednesday.
  13. illinoisredsox
    0-2 on Santana and then walks him on 4 straight non-competitive pitches. The homer wasn’t a bad pitch, barely in the at the top of the zone. Reyes is huge.
  14. illinoisredsox
    How are you going to trade a guy who will never play again (Pedroia)?
  15. illinoisredsox
    Sure I do. I grew up in southern Connecticut. Just felt like giving Jackson some grief. As he said, he can take it.
  16. illinoisredsox
    I believe the medical terms would be primary cause of death - rotation and secondary cause of death -bullpen.
  17. illinoisredsox
    No issue with your last 3 paragraphs. They are well thought out. The first one was being an a-hole. BTW, the patient died a week ago with the two sweeps and in reality was brain dead after the Tampa series. So you got that wrong
  18. illinoisredsox
    You are likely correct with the time thing. Unless there’s an injury, he has to stay down for 10 days. He was sent down on the 3rd, so he isn’t eligible to come back up until the 13th.
  19. illinoisredsox
    More will be up in September when the rosters expand. You’re already seeing it with Travis, DHern and Taylor.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Jackson, you’ve been a gracious “loser” over the my time here (“loser” in the sense that your team has finished behind the Sox). You’ve been respectful of the results. You are on your rivals board. Time to be a gracious “winner”. However, you’ve been an ******* as a “winner”. We all know the Sox story this year. You don’t need to make multiple threads and posts rubbing it in.
  21. illinoisredsox
    And that’s exactly what he is, an average pitcher. See post 105 for more.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Until this year, he has basically gone out 33 times a year, usually gone 6-7 innings and on average allowed 3-4 runs a game. In other words, he’s gone out and given his team a chance to win the game, which they have done 60% of the time. I’m not sure what you expect out of a guy who’s a #3/#4 starter. Yes he has totally sucked this year; there is no sugarcoating that. Unlike you, I am not going sound tough by saying I’ll embarrass a guy by DFAing him in the middle of an inning. You want to totally lose a club and make sure no one ever wants to play in Boston again, be my guest and do it.
  23. illinoisredsox
    I don’t. It’s not good. But for whatever reason, they win when he pitches, and in pro sports, that’s the bottom line.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Not bad for a guy without a major league arm.
  25. illinoisredsox
    The Sox are 90-61 in games he’s started for Boston. Yes, he’s gotten some insane run support but the bottom line is they win at a 60% clip when he starts.
