    It actually looked pretty far inside; I’m not sure either hit that inning were on pitches in the strike zone.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Of course, that would have been followed by Vazquez striking out and that would leave it up to Bradley. Edit - As Vazquez strikes out.

    Beni has come back to Earth after his torrid month as well.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Hardest hit ball so far may have been Bradley’s grounder to first. Decent contact definitely lacking.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Well at least Betts leads off next inning.

    What he is doing in San Francisco is irrelevant. Sandoval’s only value to the Red Sox is what he would have provided to Boston. There was nothing in the 2+ years he was here that indicated he would have provided much of anything.

    People forget or overlook the fact that Cy Young is the losingest pitcher of all time (316). Johnson is 4th with 279. You have to be really good to lose a lot of games. W-L meant a lot more when pitchers routinely pitched complete games.

    There was no reason to try and use Kimbrel for 2 innings. One he has shown that for whatever reason, he’s just not that good at it (we can debate why ad nauseum). But Kelly has been used and been fantastic in that situation all year. There have been a couple times he’s failed but that happens. The questionable move did not involve Kimbrel in any way, shape or form. It was (and I questioned it before or as Scott threw his first pitch) why Scott instead of Kelly? In retrospect, Kelly didn’t have it either so it probably wouldn’t have mattered. As for tired, the team just looked out of it last night. Weak swings, etc. They looked bad Saturday but that was a case of a pitcher just absolutely at his best. Lots of chances last night and hittable pitches in many cases. You can think the travel has nothing to do with it but this type of road trip is very taxing. 3 different time zones with never more than a few days in any one and crossing a total of 5 going back and forth. It is a factor.

    Devers has a decent night at the plate; he may be coming around offensively. Would have been nice had either of his hits happened his first time up though.
  10. illinoisredsox
    I don't think he's quite right yet; he has not looked good most of this trip.
  11. illinoisredsox
    He has not looked good on this trip.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Dwight Evans used to make throws like that. Teams literally stopped going first to 3rd on him. Roberto Clemente was great. Dave PArker's throw in the All-Star Game (1979?) nailing Jim Rice at the plate. Of course, those were all right fielders.
  13. illinoisredsox
    He's got a hell of an arm, but he isn't usually that accurate.
  14. illinoisredsox
    They have the look of a very tired club. Long trip, crossed 5 times zones back and forth. Any one who has ever traveled for work knows what I'm taking about. It would be easier to stay on the coast for 3 series like they used to do.
  15. illinoisredsox
    It certainly looked like he gave a less than great effort on it.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Kelly hasn't exactly covered himself with glory this inning either.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Cora's got a look of can't anyone here throw strikes?
  18. illinoisredsox
    I like the fact that they now have a lefty besides Johnson in the pen, but I do question this move.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Scott's been up a few times over the past couple years.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Not sure I like the move with Scott here. Tough spot to make your season debut.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Neither starter can, and that's good. Neither deserved a loss on their record (not that that really matters).
  22. illinoisredsox
    Not so much this year, but he has had a surprising number of those in his years with the Red Sox.
  23. illinoisredsox
    That knee has taken a lot of speed away from him. He probably beats that play last season.
  24. illinoisredsox
    He's had a chance to score 3 tonight and the two big RBI guys have failed to get him in.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Well, none of the first 3 pitches were ones you really want to swing at with less than 2 strikes. For that matter, neither was the 4th one.
