    What's the deal on balls hit to right?
  2. illinoisredsox
    There was one of only 2 ways it could go.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Need the 2 3 4 5 hitters to do something this inning.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Two more "strikes" that have called on Sox hitters and not on Tribe batters.
  5. illinoisredsox
    He was traded to the Orioles for a kid named Eduardo Rodriguez.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Plus with Miller going this long is they won't see him tomorrow.

    if you cry gloom and doom often enough, you will eventually be right. You must have been a joy to be around for 3.9 games in the 2004 ALCS.

    Another classy post from you. Is your constant preoccupation with sex due to your lack of occupation with sex?

    He's given Indian's pitchers that pitch all night, Sox pitchers haven't gotten it at all. I don't care if you call it or don't call it but be consistent and call it both ways.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Now you are just being a jerk.

    2 hits off Pomerania and neither hit particularly well.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Would have been better if the ball had been hit harder. Perfect speed and location to get through and not hard enough to give JBJ a decent chance.
  13. illinoisredsox
    And it cost them a run.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Do you ph for Holt here? With 2 out and this early, I don't.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Porcello and Bauer do not seem to be working with the same strike zone. Bauer is getting a lot of corners, Porcello is not getting those same spots.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Be it this series or next year, if Bogaerts doesn't learn to lay off that breaking ball down and away he's going to have a career of how he hit in August and September
  17. illinoisredsox
    No curve tonight and he hasn't been getting the call when he does get the ball down. Bauer has gotten 3-4 strikes outside the zone as well.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Hard to say. Is MLB as anal about that sort of thing as the NFL? That's a rhetorical. NOBODY is as anal about that sort of thing as the NFL.
  19. illinoisredsox
    No real surprises. No Robbie Scott might be a mild one, but 6 innings pitched in September isn't much of a showcase. Can't really argue with the guys they took. Vazquez as the second catcher might be the other minor surprise, but really, once Leon seized the starting gig, none of the back-ups did anything worth a darn all season, so it's as good a choice as any.

    I just saw a great description of the Giants on another forum: the Giants in the postseason are like cockroaches in a nuclear war. They always find a way to survive.

    I have the opposite view on Pedey this season; this was the first time in 3-4 years he wasn't injured and it showed. Will his performance go down next year? Probably, but I think that will be due to 2016 being almost a career year for him and it's hard to have those back to back. And his age isn't going to help in that regard. He's right at the point where guys usually start seeing declines. Now, you are totally correct in that he tries to play through things he probably shouldn't. At least until now, he has been the classic case of an athlete unable to distinguish between being hurt and being injured. Maybe he has learned that lesson finally.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Great read but when did Pedroia get hurt? There certainly were no DL trips this season.
  23. illinoisredsox
    What changes is that in a tie game at home and the game gets to the 9th, there's no save to be had. You bring in your best available reliever for the 9th; once he is done,, you go with your next best, etc. As I wrote above, in the postseason and especially in an elimination game, the "rules" should not apply. If your on the road and you don't score, in the top of the 9thor later, you've got to get 6 outs to win the game, the home team doesn't have to get any. Yo have to prolong it as long as you can.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Marrero was 1-12 this year (and hit .198 in Pawtucket); the idea that he can PH is ludicrous. PR sure. None of the 3 can be relied on as hitters (although Hill and Hernandez are better than Marrero in that regard), so it comes down to what else can they give the team. And let's be realistic, if the Sox are using a back-up SS in the postseason, they are fooked anyway.
  25. illinoisredsox
    He was warming up in the top of the ninth (I assume in case the O's took the lead). It's the postseason, some of the "rules" have to go out the window.
