    In Kelly's case, I believe he thinks too much.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Kelly thinks too much. Take a page from Sale and throw what the catcher puts down.
  3. illinoisredsox
    To be fair, he induced the DP grounder from Encarnacion and Holt screwed it up.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Nope, strictly the official scorer's opinion.

    All of us have occasional "ignorant posts", SS. Some of us will even admit it. You at least contribribute to the board discussion. Twitterman (I call him that because his posts are always in the game thread, short, generally negative and very much stream of conscience type and overall boring) is the ultimate in ignorant posts.

    No Johnson can't get the win; the scoring rules say it should go to the most effective reliever. If I had to guess right now, I think Workman will get the nod. Hembree did give up the homer; Workman pitched with just the 2 run lead while Barnes had a 4 run cushion.

    Brasier for the 8th and Kimbrel for the 9th? (I use Kimbrel no matter what, he hasn't pitched since Saturday).
  8. illinoisredsox
    That was a rhetorical question, correct?
  9. illinoisredsox
    But a good long AB, the kind that tends to help get starters out of the game earlier; even getting a lot of pitches in an inning which can have benefits as well in that inning.

    Peterug isn’t even clever about being a troll. Not worth the time to respond to it. Don’t feed the trolls.
  11. illinoisredsox
    20 posts and not one with anything good to say. You and Mr. Twitter should tag team.

    Bieber is not a power pitcher but he throws strikes. Minor leagues he was well over 200 Ks against 19 BBs.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Well, at least they cleared the bottom of the line-up out.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Pearce got all of that one.

    Didn't matter in the end, JD would not have gotten a better pitch if the count were 2-0, and he handled it.
  16. illinoisredsox
    In Mr. Twitterman's mind, no opposing pitcher is good; it's always the Sox hitters. Kluber showed why he is so good tonight; without his best stuff, he kept his team in the game and gave them a chance to come back.

    It works so long until one of the relievers doesn't have it on a given day. And the more arms you trot out there, the more likley it is that one of them doesn't have it, especially since you can't use your top pen guys to do it.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, but he nibbles pretty good.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Is it time for Mr. Twitter to start complaining?
  20. illinoisredsox
    I remember seeing some paper that theoretically a ball could rise. It involved some combination of velocity and spin rate so as to overcome the effects of gravity and drag (air friction). Chapman has the velocity to do it but he can’t generate the spin rate and at his spin rate, he would have to be able to throw over 110. Now if a submariner could somehow generate enough velocity, he MIGHT be able to do it. Was it Bradshaw who almost scraped the ground with his delivery?
  21. illinoisredsox
    Doesn't matter, it's his last batter no matter what happens.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Usually happens like that in these types of games but it was also Game 1 of a doubleheader.
  23. illinoisredsox
    The Sox started and finished the trip 9 1/2 games up. The bad news is they went 7-2 and only widened the gap by 1/2 game The good news is the Yankees played .700 ball over that same stretch (7-3) and lost 1/2 game in the standings.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Holt is exposed when he plays too much; his second half swoons are well documented. He’s best when used 3-4 times a week, not every day.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Nunez is a decent 3rd baseman; not a gold glover but he makes the plays. His knee injury has really hurt him at 2nd, not so much at 3rd with less ground to cover.
