    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.

    I do like Kaat in the booth, but tonight it’s Smoltz, who is also very good.
  3. 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.

    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.
  5. 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.
  6. illinoisredsox
    So Pomeranz and ERod lead the way?
  7. 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.
  8. illinoisredsox
    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.
  10. 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.

    I said it last night, but there are some here who expect perfection to start with and then improvement from there.
  12. illinoisredsox
    They're 13-2 against the O's. How greedy do you really want to be (that's a rhetorical question)?
  13. illinoisredsox
    Thought they said last night Sale was on a 60-70 pitch count today, which would be right where he's at.
  14. 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.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Actually, they want perfection to start with, and then improvement from there.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Better he be in it now than later, but it is a concern.
  17. illinoisredsox
    He's trying to provoke a reaction; don't humor him with one.
  18. illinoisredsox
    And my point was that attitude is one reason the Sox blew that lead 40 years ago.
  19. 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.
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. illinoisredsox
    No, he's managing the marathon, not the sprint.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Both also pitched yesterday. Need people available tomorrow as well.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Cuevas? A little surprising given the closeness of the game.
  25. illinoisredsox
    I would assume Thornburg has the 8th and Kimbrel the 9th.
