    Bieber is not a power pitcher but he throws strikes. Minor leagues he was well over 200 Ks against 19 BBs.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Well, at least they cleared the bottom of the line-up out.
  3. 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.

    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.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, but he nibbles pretty good.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Is it time for Mr. Twitter to start complaining?

    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?

    Doesn't matter, it's his last batter no matter what happens.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Usually happens like that in these types of games but it was also Game 1 of a doubleheader.

    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.

    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.
  14. 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.
  15. illinoisredsox
    I’ll take a 7-2 road trip every time.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Urena was tossed; I agree with Sutcliffe, should have let him stay and have to come to the plate 1 time.
  17. illinoisredsox
    And vice versa. 3 games (one of which went 13 innings) and each team has scored 5 runs total.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Planned day off; the team’s record is 86-35, so I’m giving Cora the benefit of the doubt.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Yep. and only 10-15 percent of Little Leaguers will ever play high school ball (I’m talking your basic regular season team, not the all-star team). So multiply that 1 in 7000 accordingly and you get somewhere between 1 in 40,000 and 1 in 70,000 Little League players will play in the majors.
  20. illinoisredsox
    I do like Kaat in the booth, but tonight it’s Smoltz, who is also very good.
  21. illinoisredsox
    I said anyone worth anything. Not sure why the Red Sox would want him though, he’s a starter and has only made 2 relief appearances in his 13 big league seasons. Plus he’s not that good.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Just for comparison, Benintendi’s OBP this year is .383, Betts’ is .438. Ted Williams was .482 for his career, which is the all time record. So yes, 4 hits in 10 ABs plus a couple walks would be fantastic. Actually, it would be fantasy.
  23. illinoisredsox
    There will almost certainly be no waiver wire deal. Cleveland would make a claim on anybody worth anything, blocking anyone further up the food chain. And if they didn’t, the Astros or Yankees would.
  24. illinoisredsox
    So Pomeranz and ERod lead the way?
  25. illinoisredsox
    The hit was on a good pitch. Barely made it out of the infield. The walk was bad, the hit was just a good job by the hitter.
