    Saw an interesting tidbit this morning: as soon as he appears in a game, Pearce will have played for all 5 AL East teams

    The announcers were talking about Phillips on the radio braodcast the other night; the speculation was he has some sort of "up or out" clause in that he has to be brought up by such and such an date or Phillips has the right to ask to be released; pretty standard with veterans. They were thinking mid July could be the timeframe.

    Yep (and if Castillo is put back on the 40 man, his $ count going forward as well). I asked the other day, but I think the only way Pedroia's contract won't count is if he voluntarily walks away (ala Dempster). If he's forced to retire due to injury, it counts. Other than another team picking up the entire contract (and why would they), his salary is on the books no matter what.

    Hey, we could even throw in Scott or Haley but I wouldn’t tell the Angels that in the beginning.

    Price appears to be successfully transitioning from the fireballer he once was into a guy who changes speeds and pitches to more contact. That bodes well for the life of his contract at least for being able to pitch effectively.

    Not quite true, I have seen some sprints in the last few hundred yards if the race is very close. But they sure as heck don’t sprint anywhere from miles 0-26, just the last 385 yards.

    Question on Pedroia’s contract and the luxury tax limits. What happens if he retires? Does the reason for retirement make a difference? I recall a few years ago that when Dempsey retired, the Sox got salary relief. But that was a voluntary decision by Dempster. If Pedroia is medically forced to retire, is it treated differently?

    Also have to remember ERod was next up in the rotation. While overall he has been pretty good this season, a manager still has to figure he’s going to need at least 3 pen innings in any Rodriguez start. Could have been part of Cora’s thinking.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Yep. When balls hit the base and carom right to a fielder, it’s definitely your night.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Cruz needs to hit the deck tomorrow; he is waaay too comfortable up there.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Incorrect. He pitched in 1 game in 1940, allowing 1 run on 3 hits over 2 innings. It was his only appearance on the mound.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Natick really needs to learn the value of an unexpressed thought.
  13. illinoisredsox
    I would argue that JD’s hand was pushed off the base with the glove.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Maybe these guys ought to slide feet first. The feet/ankles are built to take a lot more abuse than the hand/wrist.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Definitely not sharp. He’s limited the damage though; Mariners have taken advantage of a couple of cheap choppers.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Yep. I don’t think there are any local broadcasts if Fox has the game.
  17. illinoisredsox
    He didn’t get one.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Has to be in response to Bogaerts' finger.
  19. illinoisredsox
    It is very odd for somebody who feels the need to throw the word racist around like its candy at a Shriner's parade could him self be labeled a sexist due to the nature of his avatars over the years (both here and on the Board That Shall Not Be Named).
  20. illinoisredsox
    Depends on the beer
  21. illinoisredsox
    Dumb play by Devers, not aggressive, just dumb. He's being talked to in the dugout, which I'm glad to see.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Kimbrel hasn't pitched since a week ago yesterday, he needs the work. Keeping Kelly in also means he wont; be available tomorrow.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Another example of why you just can't throw anyone over there. Those plays CAN make a difference, and they are not learned by talking a few grounders during infield.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Already is.
  25. illinoisredsox
    The strength and true depth of this team is starting pitching so in a one game scenario you are going to go with a failed starter? Joe McCarthy lives.
