    Because to quote Crash Davis: "If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you *are*! And you should know that!" Price has pitched extremely well with Leon behind the plate most of the season. And he sure has done well so far tonight.

    At least they broke up the string of pennants by the Evil Empire. If the Guardians had not won the AL that season, the Stankees would have won 10 straight pennants from 1949-1958. As it was, New York went 103-51 that season to finish second. The Whiite Sox were 94-60 and ended up a very distant 3rd.

    Efficient outing by Velazquez.

    No need to be snarky, I just asked if Borucki had been painting the corners all night, because he sure did the first inning I watched.
  5. illinoisredsox
    That's not what I asked. And they've hit him pretty well this year before tonight.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Just like last year, they got off to a poor start and have turned it on as the season has progressed.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Of course, if the starter doesn't get out of it, then all the armchair managers can say I told you so.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Pure 20-20 hindsight. If it was so obvious, why no posts from you saying that Eovaldi had lost it?
  9. illinoisredsox
    Just tuned in, has Barucki been putting it on the black all night?

    God I hate giving up runs on bloop hits. I like getting them, but hate giving them up.

    Sox will get no help the next couple of games since the Yanks are playing the Twins, who just lay down for the evil empire.
  12. illinoisredsox
    That’s been a strike all night both ways. It may not be right, but it’s been consistent.
  13. illinoisredsox
    You manage a lot better if the players perform. If the Sox lose, Hembree and Brasier have the goat horns.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Houston has relievers who aren’t afraid to throw the ball; the Red Sox have a bunch of guys who are.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Which of those pitches would you have had him swing at, the one that was 2 inches outside or the one that was perfect on the outside corner at the bottom of the zone? He wasn’t going to hit either one of them.
  16. illinoisredsox
    I hope I’m wrong but I don’t like Swihart here.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Since Wright started the 7th, how did he come in with runners on? And I like Wright here. At least he looks like he wants to be out there. Kimbrel will pitch the 9th no matter what happens in the bottom of the 8th.

    The play by play guy is okay. Not great, but okay. Agree 100% on ARod. I can take or leave Mendoza; she was okay at first but she doesn’t add much. Really prefer the midweek guys. Can’t think of the play by play guys but both Herschiser and Perez are good.
  19. illinoisredsox
    So who would you put in? They’ve got to find somebody who can pitch in relief. No one has stepped up. You could see Hembree’s problem coming because he didn’t want to throw a pitch after he got 2 strikes.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Yes, it has eliminated it; the best pitcher in the league needs to be durable. Missing over a month of the season should be factored in.
  21. illinoisredsox
    All this after 1 game? Swihart I can see, but Nunez? Right now Devers is no lock to be on the postseason roster. He’s going to have to earn it this month. Cora has said as much said so.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Decades? Maybe a decade. Seems to me the 12 man staff began about 10 years ago. Before that, it was typically an 11 man staff. When I was a kid half a century ago, 10 man staffs (and 4 man rotations) were the norm.
  23. illinoisredsox
    The only way Pomeranz sees the mound is if the Sox are DOWN by a dozen runs and he can save the rest of the pen (ala Wakefield in Game 3 in 2004).
  24. illinoisredsox
    I'm guessing Scott and Poyner to finish up the last 2 innings, so at least none of the main pen will be used.
  25. illinoisredsox
    The thing is he was halfway decent for August. 5 pretty good outings (unscored on, maybe a walk or a hit allowed), 2 blah (a couple runs in 4 innings) and a Houdini performance last time out (4 innings, 7 hits but no runs). Nothing great, but far better than earlier in the year. Today, he had absolutely nothing.
