    Heard an interesting stat about Kimbrel the other day; I think it was from the White Sox broadcasters: Kimbrel has more career saves than hits allowed (confirmed via Baseball Reference, 312 saves, 270 hits allowed over his 9 year career)
  2. illinoisredsox
    Kimbrel does not get a save. He came in with a 4 run lead. All he gets tonight is a game finished. Big factor tonight IMO was the 25 or so pitches he threw last night. With 30+ tonight, he will not be available tomorrow. Sale will have to give some innings tomorrow. He usually does, but with the pen throwing roughly 9 innings the past 2 nights, they could use a break. Better yet, the Sox score a ton of runs so the back part of the pen could be used.

    Aw c’mon, I’m over the Larry Barnett call. Okay, not really.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Are the Mets playing that or do the Braves have to carry most of the freight. The Mets signed him for the minimum I believe.

    Personally, I think the clubhouse in 2011 and 2012 was so disfunctional that nobody “fit in”; there was nothing to fit into. It didn’t bubble over until Aug 2011 but I think the issues were there all year. As for the 3 players I mentioned, one thing they all have in common is an infectious personality. All three are extremely outgoing and people just tend to like them. We all know people who are like that.AGon always struck me as an introverted guy who would just as soon come to the park, get his work in, play the game and then shower and go home (JD Drew was a player who was even more that way; Yaz may be the ultimate example in Red Sox lore). A quiet personality who people don’t just automatically gravitate to. And I think Max is right, AGon was the cost of the Dodgers taking Crawford.

    . So if you know the sub-text, how come David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez are beloved by Red Sox fans? Or Luis Tiant?
  7. illinoisredsox
    Actually it’s too early. By rule they have to wait 30 days before resigning him. (I totally realize your question was tongue in cheek).
  8. illinoisredsox
    Well I remember Bob Uecker (or was it Joe Garagiola?) saying their manager used to give them the take sign on 3-2
  9. illinoisredsox
    Have you been watching JBJ this year?
  10. illinoisredsox
    Yep. He's nice as a 6-7 hitter, maybe in the 5 hole once in a while; he should not be hitting 3-4.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Right now they aren't even getting good swings. Utter meltdown offensively.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Agree. The White Sox are young but I think they are going to improve as the season goes on. The O's have nothing; everyone talsk about them selling off everything remotely of value they have.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Workman only pitched to one batter; he's an okay choice.
  14. illinoisredsox
    For all of Devers offensive woes, he has really come around defensively.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Jones is a far more disciplined hitter; always has been.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Kimbrel warming in case by some miracle the Sox score.
  17. illinoisredsox
    I repeat my previous prediction; at some point one of Jones/Davis/Trumbo/Mancini is going to run into one to win it for the Birds.
  18. illinoisredsox
    You don't even know Workman's name but you would have brought him in to start the inning?
  19. illinoisredsox
    They are falling into the classic trap of trying to end it with one swing. It seldom works.
  20. illinoisredsox
    All of you, who would you have brought in? Keep in mind the Sox are on the road, a save is possible.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Weird part is Holt has really good numbers against Bundy (something like 6-11) while Nunex came in 1-5. But maybe Holt is under the weather or something. We don't always hear about those things. Machado apprently isn't playing due to some ailment.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Was very nervous there when OB said Jones was 0-16 lifetime against Kelly; the announcers curse and the fact that Jones is a good hitter.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Hope Kelly had enough time to get fully ready; Jones has always been tough on the Sox.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Vlad Guerrero he's not.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Devers would do well to cut the swing down a little on 2 strikes and just try for the single.
