    I don’t think people realize how hard it is to hit major league pitching period. Put another way, you know the best pitcher you ever saw? He ain’t here. Best kid I ever faced was the #1 pick of the Blue Jays. I had faced him in Babe Ruth ball when he was a tall skinny guy with a curveball. I could hit him. A couple years later we were teammates on an American Legion team. He had added 20 pounds of muscle and was throwing 85. I couldn’t touch him in BP. He made it to AAA but never got the call.

    Chavis has no chance against Chapman.
  3. illinoisredsox
    It looked like a strike until the last second and then the bottom fell out. You have to gear up for 100 off Chapman.
  4. illinoisredsox
    That was nasty.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Oh, the 1-0 pitch. Agree, it got Britton back in the AB. Can’t say for sure it would have gone to 3-0 since the pitch calls probably are different. Didn’t help though.
  6. illinoisredsox
    I think the walks and less than stellar defense has had a lot more to do with it.
  7. illinoisredsox
    You mean the one he fouled off? Way to close to take.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Very likely called strike 3 if he doesn’t swing. Just a nasty pitch by Britton.

    Henry’s rich but he’s not THAT rich.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Sale hasn’t been sharp. Yanks hit 3 balls pretty hard before the homer.
  11. illinoisredsox
    It was around 3.3 before his last start; that’s pretty good in today’s game.
  12. illinoisredsox
    He's still only pitched 4 innings since he was cleared to throw, 1 at Pawtucket and 3 with Boston. The stuff is there, the command isn't. That will come with reps. Right now Eovaldi isn't ready to close,

    Don’t have to; I know what they mean. Everyone has eidetic memory to some extent; it’s how long you retain the images that differentiate between degrees.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Eidetic or photographic? They are different.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Wasn’t watching close enough to see if Eovsldi was shaking him off or not. Interesting that Eovsldi came in with 2 curves right after LaVange came out. Either way, Vazquez has never impressed me with his game calling.
  16. illinoisredsox
    He is, I think that’s now 4 innings he’s pitched since being cleared; 1 in Pawtucket and 3 in Boston.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Nothing but fastballs. Got to throw something else once in a while.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Oh, okay. Thought I had missed a roster move.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Who?
  20. illinoisredsox
    So long as it’s called that way both ways, I’m okay with it. Ump has had a wide outside corner today, but it’s been wide for both teams.
  21. illinoisredsox
    To be fair, his only post in the game thread said he was working today.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Been a long time since I’ve seen 2 sac flies in one inning.
  23. illinoisredsox
    I’d like to see Barnes come back out for the 7th.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Fox guys were just saying that ERod and CC are both natural righthanders. They relayed the story that when ERod was about 7, he was messing around with his brothers on a rainy day, slipped and broke his arm. Rather than waiting for it to heal, he just started throwing lefty. Never had heard that before.

    I cited no specific members of this board.
