    I'm a little surprised Marrero isn't at third this inning.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Hanley be patient wait for a hittable pitch.
  3. illinoisredsox
    He is but you don't have to play along. For the record, Farrell has managed the game just about as well as he could from the pitching standpoint IMO.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Fenway giveth and Fenway taketh away. Fenway took one away from him there.
  5. illinoisredsox
    You might see some combination of them for 9 outs.
  6. illinoisredsox
    He did back in the 2008 ALCS.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Hanley's one guy who's not shy about going after the first pitch. His problem is he goes after ANY first pitch way too often.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Yeah but just like JBJ, the strike 2 call set that up.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Who didn't see that one coming? Even when he swings at the first pitch (about once a month), he's not really committed to it. Just look at the Astros' hitters. They are looking to hammer the first pitch that comes in their wheelhouse. They don't stand there and look at it. Make a perfect pitch and they wait for a better one, and once they get to 2 strikes, they foul tough pitches off.

    Kelly was warming in the first. And as I type this, here he comes.

    It's a reference to the 2004 ALCS. Before Game 4 (remember the Yanks led 3-0 at that point), Kevin Millar was good by around to anyone who would listen saying "Don't let us win tonight" and then added they had Schilling and Pedro scheduled for games 5 and 6 and that in "Game 7 anything can happen."
  12. illinoisredsox
    Well at least they are giving Shaughnessy and his protege at the Herald, Buckley, some good material to write about.
  13. illinoisredsox
    And now Betts reinjures his thumb/wrist. Is Stephen King writing this script?
  14. illinoisredsox
    They are easily ignored.
  15. illinoisredsox
    I think some will go. To me, the only absolute keepers are Betts, Benintendi, Devers and Vazquez. Everyone else is fair game, and even Benintendi could go in the right deal. Unfortunately, Hanley is untradable and Pedroia will veto any trade.
  16. illinoisredsox
    They might, but the Astros have a lot of really good hitters. There's never a break. How many teams have their leading RBI guy batting 8th.
  17. illinoisredsox
    WTF are you talking about?
  18. illinoisredsox
    See what happens when you are actually committed to hitting the first pitch if it's in your wheelhouse
  19. illinoisredsox
    Maybe it's time to admit the Guardians last year and the Astros this year are just better. Name a position player for the Sox who would start for this year's Astros. Betts probably. Perhaps Vazquez, because he's better defensively than anything the Astros have and with the rest of that line-up they could carry whatever weakness he might have with the bat. Devers would probably still be at AAA in the Houston organization. I don't see anyone else that would be a regular in Houston.
  20. illinoisredsox
    That's one interpretation; there are others that are just as viable.
  21. illinoisredsox
    It is very hard to string together a bunch of hits off good pitchers. The Astros have scored 12 runs this series, 8 of them on homers.
  22. illinoisredsox
    This is who they've been all year. Mediocre offense occasionally buoyed by a good week every month or month and a half to prop up the stats.
  23. illinoisredsox
    They had their chances early against a good pitcher in Keuchal and didn't take advantage. He's rolling now.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Well I guess Farrell gets to fly back with the team; the two hardest hit balls of the day from the Sox are off of Young's bat (the line drive to Correa his second time up being the second).
  25. illinoisredsox
    It is patently obvious what you are doing.
