Good time for an in your ear on Chisholm.
-
I’m starting to come around to that position.
-
Nah. The results could end up similar, but 2011 was a complete collapse by a decent pitching staff. There was more than enough offense that year. The pitching this month for the most part has been okay. Not as good as it was a month ago, but okay. Most of the time, it’s given the team a chance. Hitting has been the issue this month and realistically, all year.

Coach may have been as surprised as anyone he tried it.
-
Sign of a team that’s pressing. Now that becomes a real big play.
-
Good pitch to Chisholm, lousy result.

Unintentional intentional walk to Judge;

My question on this is who would even take the job. Breslow’s current job was toxic when he took it; wasn’t he the 10th or 11th person they approached with all or nearly all of the earlier choices declining to even interview? I’ve heard he isn’t liked by subordinates in the Sox front office and does not have good relationships with peers with other clubs (which might explain part of the inaction at the trade deadline).

I must have missed all the posts you made back in April objecting to this trade. Or the ones from spring training where you said Priester would have this kind of year.

d-money is Fred Jr.
-
True, but he was missing badly with it because he knew Chisholm was doing it. Escapes successfully so no harm done.
-
Chisholm signaling the change up to the hitter. Only stuck his arm out when the change was coming. He got in Kelly’s head about it. It was so obvious.

Just remember, he is a “superior baseball mind”, as opposed to all us “youngsters” who know nothing. I can’t decide if he is a really good troll or an absolute tool. Either way, I find him amusing. The only thing surprising about his reply was it took so long to show up. The rest of the plot we’ve read before.

Not enough to overturn.

3-3 on any West Coast swing is something we can live with.
-
With 3 off days, he may not. Assuming they are goimg to try and keep the big 3 on 5 days rest, they won't need a 6th starter until late next week. It would also come up the following week. A lot will depend on what the standings are. Tweaks could be made for the Toronto and Detroit series.

Sets up Giolito, Bello and Crochet for the Yankee series this weekend all on 5 days rest.
-
My first guess would be Mel Ott, but that's 6 letters.
-
Early standing next to Tolle looks like a kicker standing next to a tight end.
-
TV crew said left knee soreness. That could be anything from a bruise to something far more serious.
-
3 Ks would have been. At least when you hit the ball, something good could happen. Wrong guy on 3rd didn’t help. I think Duran, Rafaela and Story score on Eaton’s chopper. Their speed might have beaten the throw but also would force the defense to rush a little.
-
Deservedly so.
-
No, but he had a hitch walking out to the clubhouse. It looked like the kind of thing that will stiffen up overnight.

The youngsters are used to starting once a week in a six man rotation. Asking them to do something they have never done in their pro careers strikes me as a bad idea. There's a reason for this. All minor league schedules now follow the same formula, 6 game series played Tuesday through Sunday either home or away against one opponent (Monday is a travel day). I'm guessing either all or almost all starting pitchers in the minors across all franchises follow that rotation. I get why the minors went that route, it cuts down on travel costs, particularly at the AAA and to a lesser extent, the AA levels. The IL and PCL are very spread out.
