    Velazquez? Really? The guy has consistently allowed guys on base all year and been a Houdini getting out of those situations cheap. He is a long/early game guy, nothing more. With that evaluation, The Sox may as well just quit now, because there isn't going to be any bullpen help. The Guardians aren't going to allow it, let alone the Astros or Yankees.

    How many 4 game sets? Out of how many 4 game series.
  3. illinoisredsox
    So if the O's played "normal" against Boston, they would have 4-5 wins in the season series to date. Sweeping any team is tough, and even tougher in a 4 game set.
  4. illinoisredsox
    I said it last night, but there are some here who expect perfection to start with and then improvement from there.
  5. illinoisredsox
    They're 13-2 against the O's. How greedy do you really want to be (that's a rhetorical question)?
  6. illinoisredsox
    Thought they said last night Sale was on a 60-70 pitch count today, which would be right where he's at.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Got 2 at the Phillies first (Tueday and Wednesday). It was a tough pair with them at Fenway a couple weeks ago and its going to be a tough pair in Phiily.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Actually, they want perfection to start with, and then improvement from there.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Better he be in it now than later, but it is a concern.
  10. illinoisredsox
    He's trying to provoke a reaction; don't humor him with one.
  11. illinoisredsox
    And my point was that attitude is one reason the Sox blew that lead 40 years ago.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Cuevas was added as the 26th man for the doubleheader; he's going back anyway. Sale will be activated and (probably) Workman goes down.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Zimmer never rested guys or gave back-ups PT, unless the starter was hurt. The 78 Sox were on fumes in August/early September
  14. illinoisredsox
    Sale aint going 9 tomorrow. You are probably going to need 2-3 guys Sunday. A good manager thinks of that. You don't manage in August the way you manage in late September/October
  15. illinoisredsox
    No, he's managing the marathon, not the sprint.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Both also pitched yesterday. Need people available tomorrow as well.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Cuevas? A little surprising given the closeness of the game.
  18. illinoisredsox
    I would assume Thornburg has the 8th and Kimbrel the 9th.
  19. illinoisredsox
    So very true.
  20. illinoisredsox
    I though he was too, but I looked it up. Wasdin appeared in 170 games for the Sox and only started 16.
  21. illinoisredsox
    That is somewhat amazing in today's game. When I was a kid, I remember Ken Holtzman threw a no-hitter for the Cubs in which he did not strike out a batter.
  22. illinoisredsox
    He threw 24 pitches last night though; he's geared to every 5th day right now, I'm amazed he was reasonably effective back to back days.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Or the immortal Way Back Wasdin
  24. illinoisredsox
    Velazquez doing what Velazquez does; lots of runners and often wiggles out of it cheap.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Here's two that I made directly in response to you. I can't help it if you can't be bothered to read a thread while you're posting on it, https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/18837-8-11-Sox-O-s-game-1?p=1175073&viewfull=1#post1175073 (Post 90 if it doesn't link directly) https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/18837-8-11-Sox-O-s-game-1?p=1175110&viewfull=1#post1175110 (Post 116 if it doesn't link directly)
