    Betts and Bradley were physical errors. They happen. ERod has forgotten to cover first many times over his career. That’s a mental error that should never happen, much less happen repeatedly.
  2. illinoisredsox
    He’s saved more than his share of runs and in some cases, games (Baltimore earlier this year comes to mind). Physical errors happen. It’s the mental ones that should never occur.

    Who are you going to trade that won’t weaken one or more other positions? Minors are barren. Pretty sure John Henry has said spend no more $$, so his hands are tied on the free agent front.

    Had to lose it in the lights or a reflection of light off the wet seats.
  5. illinoisredsox
    I can’t do it; I’m hardwired to want them to lose every game.
  6. illinoisredsox
    I have to admit, I was hoping ERod would end up throwing a one hit complete game with his failure to cover first base on the first hitter of the game costing him the no-hitter.

    With this pen, is that even metaphysically possible?
  8. illinoisredsox
    I know there are guidelines the umps follow, like waiting at least 30 minutes, but so long there is a reasonable chance of resuming, they will wait.

    Did New Jersey finally switch to allowing self-serve?

    Cora needs to go to the mound and tell Brewer he’s in for the duration.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Radio guys are saying Cora indicated that the Sox may go the opener route after the break.

    Velasquez has been mediocre as a reliever (4.29 ERA in 13 games and 21 innings). He has been beyond terrible as a starter (6.95 ERA in 8 games and 22 innings). If you’re going to keep him on the staff, he should only be used in long relief.

    So you would hire a new manger each year?
  14. illinoisredsox
    That was my thought. Of course, that just means #5 pitches Saturday in Detroit.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Exactly. We can bitch all we want but who else is there right now for the #5 slot right now.

    The reality is the games are the easy part. It’s the other less glamorous 5-6 hours every day that the fans don’t think about. Physical therapy, film study, working on technique, extra fielding practice to improve. Travel. For the borderline player, always looking over your shoulder for the next phenom. Not to mention the constant media scrutiny on virtually everything you do. Just like any job, it’s a grind. A well paid grind, but still a grind.

    A play on Benny and the Jets. An Elton John song from the 70s. Kids:confused:

    The Jays can hit; what they can’t do is pitch.

    I've been listening to the radio play by play lately (Castiglione, etc.). Unlike the TV guys, they aren't sugarcoating things when they are suboptimal. They were talking last night about how Strohman has about worn out his welcome in the Jays clubhouse with his antics (they apparently go well beyond the Eck incident). Talent wise I would want him, but if he's that bad in the clubhouse ... OTOH, maybe he just wants out of a bad situation up in Toronto.

    SoxnCycles pulled up a post from Madstork from a year ago just to illustrate what an idiot the Stork is. Actually, calling Mad an idiot is an insult to idiots.

    Wish I could get that thumbs up emoji on my phone to work here.

    Moon, he’s lawyering you. No matter what you say, he will not budge. You’ve both made your points, and while the back and forth was interesting for a while ...
  23. illinoisredsox
    A week or 2? He’s basically got to go through spring training again, and so far as we know, he’s not throwing at all yet. It would be a month minimum.
  24. illinoisredsox
    There's about 16 million reasons that ain't happening.
  25. illinoisredsox
    The Angels have had their share of premature deaths. Going back even farther, Lyman Bostock was shot to death; that had to be in the late 70s, and Donnie Moore in the 80s was also a tragic case.
