    What "manner and attitude" should a manager have?
  2. illinoisredsox
    If everyone has been brilliant, how have the Red Sox won 48 games and scored the 2nd (or maybe 3rd) most runs in all of major leaguie baseball?
  3. illinoisredsox
    Actually, if you would take you head out of your rear, you would know the reason. LeBlanc has been brilliant. As I said, its a classic example of actual pitching as opposed the throwing we usually see.
  4. illinoisredsox
    It really would not surprise me to see LeBlanc face the minimum 27 (if he's allowed to pitch the 9th, which I bet he won't be unless the Mariners score a few runs). He has been masterful.
  5. illinoisredsox
    All I know is this a classic example of pitching. No two pitches ever in the same place, no two pitches at the same speed.
  6. illinoisredsox
    I swear Bradley gets more borderline pitches called strikes than any batter in baseball. He's bad enough, he doesn't need help striking out.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Cobb slid feet first with spikes high.
  8. illinoisredsox
    I didn't think so, and there wasn't enough to overturn it anyway.
  9. illinoisredsox
    I don't care if it gets you there quicker or not (I don't think it does); the risk of an injury to a hand or finger is too great. The ONLY time you do it is to avoid a tag on a throw up the first base line and you want to get under it (and then you aren't worried about getting to the base quicker).
  10. illinoisredsox
    Yep. I'm thinking the shortstop gets it if LeBlanc doesn't.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Bogaerts if you run through the bag you may have beaten that.
  12. illinoisredsox
    If he's going to be out there, they've got to think opposite field. That's how they got to Paxton last night (though the Mariners helped out in the field as well).
  13. illinoisredsox
    Not this year. He has been very good this season. Not as good as he's been tonight, but good.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Sprint vs. marathon. You can’t trot those 2 guys out there every game. You do that and neither will be around in August, let alone September. Both have been used a fair amount this week. Hembree and Barnes have generally gotten the job done this year. Not always as cleanly as we would like, but for the most part, they’ve done their job. Tonight Barnes didn’t have it; it happens.
  15. illinoisredsox
    It’s a problem with the modern game; you trot out a different reliever each inning, you are taking a chance that it one of them doesn’t have it on a given night.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Couldn't be a fielders choice since the play was made on Betts; it's either a straight up error or a hit and error (allowing Bradley to get to 3rd).
  17. illinoisredsox
    The 3 sure things of life: death, taxes and d-money not posting when the Sox are ahead.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Hometown scoring to hep keep Paxton's ERA down. One earned run this inning, all the rest off Paxton will be unearned.
  19. illinoisredsox
    The reverse replay showed that Bogaerts bounced it to him; Leon did a nice job just knocking it down.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Looks almost tropical; something you would find for one of the Florida teams. I would think a team from the northwest would have gone with something more like a Forest Green.
  21. illinoisredsox
    A quick search revealed something called Northwest Green. I think the Seahawks have something similarin their jerseys as well, though not as the main color obviously.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Time to cue up d-money complaining how Porcello sucks and the offense is s*****. Or has he already started that song?
  23. illinoisredsox
    If Paxton throws like that all night, Goodcello probably will not be good enough.
  24. illinoisredsox
    The way Paxton has pitched against Boston so far in his career, it may not matter. Did you see that ERA vs. the Sox? 0.39 in 23 innings. That's 1 run in all those innings folks.
  25. illinoisredsox
    In what world? They are going to want a ton of prospects and maybe a very young cost controlled major league player. Velazquez at best is a 4-5 starter and more likely a middle reliever. As an add in, sure. As the centerpiece? Not a chanc That’s the kind of deal that the Yankees would make in the late 50s with their American League farm team known as the Kansas City Athletics.
