Need 1 runner in the next 2 innings for Pearce to get a shot at #4.
-
Given the Yankees’ bullpen, that may not be a good thing.

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
illinoisredsox replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Who do you propose? With 3 of the top 6-7 starting pitchers in the organization on the DL, there are not a lot of choices. -
Leon is a free agent after this season, so trading Vazquez may not be something you’d want to do without making sure Sandy is still in the fold.
-
I liked the adjustment Price made in his approach. The Phillies were aggressively attacking the first pitch inside fastball in innings 1 and 2. Price smartly stopped throwing it.

Talk about a film that couldn’t be made today

Don’t have a good feeling with Velazquez here.
-
Yes. Overall, 10-7 (for a club well under .500), ERA 3.48 and a WHIP under 1.000. He's a good pitcher.

The Sox or the Twins?

Saw something this morning about Phillips being hit in the hand with a pitch: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/red-soxs-brandon-phillips-potential-hand-injury-at-triple-a/
-
Right. That hit was absolutely pounded.
-
He’s only had 3 blown saves all year; that was the 2nd with Sale as the starter (the other was against the Royals in April). The previous one was against the Yankees in May (Porcello was the starter) and that was also a 4 out attempt.
-
Especially since he’s something like 6-10 against Rodney.

7/26 Minnesota Twins @ Fenway
illinoisredsox replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Pretty sure he does. I think the no RBI provision onlly kicks in on a force DP or a reverse force DP (think 1st baseman steps on the bag and then throws to second with the 2nd out being on a tag). -
I doubt it, given the normal Oriole crowds and figuring a lot of no-shows due to weather, they probably paid more to the people manning the concessions than they made. I prefer to think it was Showalter being an ass.
-
I agree, given the timing and forecast, it never should have begun.
-
What else would you expect from Showalter? Guarantee that had it been any other opponent, the game never would have started.
-
Pure chance. I was looking something up about Yaz on YouTube awhile back and came across this video:
-
Little known fact: The last ball Yaz hit over then fence did not count when the game was rained out before it became official.
-
You'd have to ask the Orioles that question.
-
I'd rather they get wiped out than risk somebody getting hurt on that wet turf. And there was virtually no way Price was going to come back out, which would have meant 8 innings of pen with Johnson going tomorrow (which should mean 3-4 more innings for the pen.
-
That's what Sutcliffe said on ESPN. Obviously they took a look at the radar and the field and decided it would not be possible to resume. And once the line-up cards are exchanged, the game is in the hands of the umpires.
-
Pitch counts make so much more sense than innings. You can throw 40 pitches in 1 inning or that could be 3-4 innings work.
-
The ESPN broadcast said they would wait until 1030 and take a look at the situation; if it looks like there’s a chance of starting up again, even if it’s at midnight, they will.
-
What’s the forecast?
