I tend to agree. His only value to Boston is what he can give the Sox and there is no indication that that is much of anything. If he turns it around somewhere else, so be it.
-
How? They are both in the starters right now. And would you trust Pomeranz out of the pen right now in anything other than long relief.
-
Who else are you going ot put out there right now? And keep in mind, Velazquez hasn;t pitched more than 2 innings at a time since April.
-
If Strohman has that kind of stuff all night, he is going to be very tough. That slider was nasty in the first inning.
-
Chapman blew the save, Max. Betances pitcher a scoreless 8th.

Those of us who lived through a certain summer 40 years ago know better.

Putting 1 run up doesn’t usually cut it against even the worst teams
-
Exactly. Take the out, maybe he bunts it hard enough for Moreland to make a play at 3rd
-
This is what can happen when relievers don’t pitch very often.
-
Lin is dealing with sore ribs and hasn't played at Pawtucket for a few days.
-
Costas just reported Swihart experienced some tightness in his hamstring and was taken out as a precaution.
-
Need 1 runner in the next 2 innings for Pearce to get a shot at #4.
-
Given the Yankees’ bullpen, that may not be a good thing.

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
illinoisredsox replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Who do you propose? With 3 of the top 6-7 starting pitchers in the organization on the DL, there are not a lot of choices. -
Leon is a free agent after this season, so trading Vazquez may not be something you’d want to do without making sure Sandy is still in the fold.
-
I liked the adjustment Price made in his approach. The Phillies were aggressively attacking the first pitch inside fastball in innings 1 and 2. Price smartly stopped throwing it.

Talk about a film that couldn’t be made today

Don’t have a good feeling with Velazquez here.
-
Yes. Overall, 10-7 (for a club well under .500), ERA 3.48 and a WHIP under 1.000. He's a good pitcher.

The Sox or the Twins?

Saw something this morning about Phillips being hit in the hand with a pitch: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/red-soxs-brandon-phillips-potential-hand-injury-at-triple-a/
-
Right. That hit was absolutely pounded.
-
He’s only had 3 blown saves all year; that was the 2nd with Sale as the starter (the other was against the Royals in April). The previous one was against the Yankees in May (Porcello was the starter) and that was also a 4 out attempt.
-
Especially since he’s something like 6-10 against Rodney.

7/26 Minnesota Twins @ Fenway
illinoisredsox replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Pretty sure he does. I think the no RBI provision onlly kicks in on a force DP or a reverse force DP (think 1st baseman steps on the bag and then throws to second with the 2nd out being on a tag).
