    Not this year. He has been very good this season. Not as good as he's been tonight, but good.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    The 3 sure things of life: death, taxes and d-money not posting when the Sox are ahead.

    Hometown scoring to hep keep Paxton's ERA down. One earned run this inning, all the rest off Paxton will be unearned.
  7. illinoisredsox
    The reverse replay showed that Bogaerts bounced it to him; Leon did a nice job just knocking it down.

    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.
  9. 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.

    Time to cue up d-money complaining how Porcello sucks and the offense is s*****. Or has he already started that song?
  11. illinoisredsox
    If Paxton throws like that all night, Goodcello probably will not be good enough.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.

    Back when was a kid and cholesterol hadn’t been invented, I loved dipping fries into mayo/tarter sauce. I have avoid all of that these days.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Holt has shown a tendency to wear down; his 2nd half numbers have been considerably worse than his 1st half ones. Maybe Cora is trying to avoid that? Especially if they know more about Pedey’s condition than they are letting on.
  16. illinoisredsox
    My point was more that 3 months and a year ago the same people were hating Holt and now he’s the fair haired boy.
  17. illinoisredsox
    I see Nunez is the new “hated” player here. Of course, last year and this spring many of the same “knowledgeable” fans wanted to DFA or send Holt down.
  18. illinoisredsox
    More likely to hit them tomorrow; second day of a trip is always the toughest.
  19. illinoisredsox
    He would only receive the pro-rated minimum from his new club; he still gets paid $22M for the 2018 season whether he plays or not. the Red Sox pay whatever difference there is.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Sabathia of the past few years doesn’t seem to either but he is effective.
  21. illinoisredsox
    2 runs on the board; I just hope Sale can stand the prosperity.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Since he seems to have the attitude of I’ve always done it this way, maybe somebody needs to ask him “Do you remember the guys who got you out in high school and college? Those are the guys we signed”.
  23. illinoisredsox
    O’s having some tough ABs this inning; probably take an extra inning away from Sale later in this game.
  24. illinoisredsox
    He’s not. He has a role and plays his role well but a regular he is not.
  25. illinoisredsox
    So you didn’t like the guy playing with/through a couple of concussions. Amazing what healing up can do for a player. Remember, though, Holt has a history of less than stellar 2nd half’s.
