    The frustration is that he’s not suited to the role; never has been. He strikes out a lot of guys because he can throw hard, but his fastball is straight and the best hitters will get to it at some point. Like any pitcher though, he needs a second pitch that at least looks like a strike long enough for a hitter to chase it.

    Now to be fair though, Tyler messed up. You did it on purpose. Now back to the crucifixion of Barnes.
  3. illinoisredsox
    And after you made such a big deal about it the other day.
  4. illinoisredsox
    I think I figured it out. Barnes watched Kimbrel in the postseason last year and thought that was the way you were supposed to close games.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Okay, then you are to blame for “blatantly flouting the long standing Game Thread starting etiquette”. Either way you are guilty counselor.
  6. illinoisredsox
    I blame the loss on a700 messing with Tyler’s mojo.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Thank you.

    No, I appreciate a great AB or play even if it’s by another team. Barnes messed up with the first 2 hitters. That’s what killed him. He threw some great pitches to Abreu and Abreu showed why he’s one of the best hitters in the game by fighting them off. Didn’t see d-money’s reply because he’s such nattering nabob of negativism that he usually is on ignore; I find it’s just better not to see his drivel. He disappears completely when things go well.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Yep. Barnes made 5-6 great pitches in that AB that Abreu fouled off until he got the one mistake. More hitters should learn to do that instead of swinging for the downs every time.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Barnes threw a lot of pitches that would have gotten lesser hitters out. Just a hell of an AB by Abreu.
  11. illinoisredsox
    That’s why he makes $9M a year and you post here.
  12. illinoisredsox
    The hit was off a pitch up by Garcia’s nose, but it would have been ball 4 anyway.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Top of the White Sox line-up has been a PITA today.
  14. illinoisredsox
    He’s worked 2 in a row. Probably Barnes.
  15. illinoisredsox
    He doesn’t count for luxury tax purposes though.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Next year is a contract year; there will be no dogging it he wants to be paid. Teams will accept one less than stellar year, 2 in a row is something else.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Well, looks like 2 out of 3 in this series and overall 5 of 7 from the Pale Hose. Realistically, that’s okay.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Plus extending Bogie
  19. illinoisredsox
    They have luxury tax issues and a bunch of players reaching significant money in their arbitration years. It becomes a balancing act.

    I came up with those lyrics in the 70s. They’ve always flouted the rules. Look up the late 50s when they kept the Kansas City A’s as their major league farm team.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Free Agent. Signed a 2 year deal for $24M. There was no way the Sox could match that.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Here come the Yankees Let’s get behind and boo the Yankees You’re going to learn to jeer the Yankees Everyone knows they cheat to win ‘Cause they’re the New York Yankees
  23. illinoisredsox
    So basically we need to figure out a way to have somebody else pitch the 5th and 7th and have Sale pitch the 6th and 8th.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Now that I’ve seen the replay, not enough to overturn.
