    So far, the righties are 4-4 with a walk against Kennedy. The lefties are 0-5.
  2. illinoisredsox
    No. He rusty and needs to pitch. You can't shake off rust in the dugout. Plus at this point you will burn the entire pen. This becomes a case of managing the series and not the game. If the offense comes back and does something, then you can start managing the game again. If they don't, 15-1 is no different than 5-1 in the loss column.

    I'm willing to bet HanRam still has some issue with that wrist. It may not even be that noticeable to him, but it doesn't take much, and there may not be much he can do about it until it rests in the off season. I'm willing to give Young a little time; he's only been back a couple days (maybe 10 with the rehab assignment). They really need Bogaerts to get out of his funk. Bradley would help, but let's face it, he's either been torrid or icy cold his entire career; it may just be who he is. Bogaerts is the key.

    He is not going to play LF. You don't put a kid in a position he has never played before professionally in a pennant race. He doesn't even have that much time at 3rd, but at least he's been playing infield. If he comes up prior to September 1st, who do you jettison off the 25man roster to make room? Basically, the candidates are Shaw, Hill and I guess Hernandez (who I guess they could send down for a week). Hill's not hitting, but I see some value in him as a defensive replacement for the stretch run. Shaw isn't going anywhere. They just came off a 7-4 road trip folks. Have a decent homestand and bring the kid up on 9/1.

    Agree, although Pedroia has been doing a passable imitation lately.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Even physical errors in the field happen. A bad throw is not a lot different that a bad pitch. Mental errors kill you, and there have been far too many of those lately.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Who hits second? 5th? 6th? Right now you have 3 guys hitting at all (Pedroia, Ortiz (who was slumping) and Betts (who has cooled off a little). Leon is giving indications of cooling off as well. Half the team has hit .200 or so for the past couple months (or in some cases longer). If you look at the offense overall since the All-Star break, they have been very reliant on the home run; not a lot of stringing hits together like they did early.
  8. illinoisredsox
    The only shock is that he didn't do it last time up (when he walked to load the bases).
  9. illinoisredsox
    Like I said, right now the team could really use a couple of rain outs in a row. Where's Crash Davis when you need him?
  10. illinoisredsox
    Stat that says it ain't your day: Rays against Pomeranz struck out 11 times, but were 7-14 on balls in play (2 line drive outs) Sox against Odorizzi struck out 4 times and were 5-20 on balls in play (6 line drives).
  11. illinoisredsox
    Maybe, but he's up around 100 pitches so it wouldn't be crazy. Their pen certainly shut down the Sox last night.
  12. illinoisredsox
    For the reocrd, no issue with Pomeranz starting this inning against the bottom of the order. Unless the Rays blow it open here, any loss today is on the offense (again)
  13. illinoisredsox
    Pen should be up as Pomeranz is actually near his Red Sox high in pitches (105) and not that far from his season high (111) with the Padres. Edit - written as Pomeranz was pitching to Mahtook.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Couple that with the fact that Odorizzi is a decent pitcher who has been throwing really well lately and the recipe comes together.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Well, so far, it looks like a typical midweek getaway day game. Blah.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Did someone miss a sign there? And naturally, an extra base hit follows.
  17. illinoisredsox
    This staff seems to have been very bad this year in getting shutdown innings after the Sox score this year.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Slasher, need to add that sarcasm meter.
  19. illinoisredsox
    To be fair, A700 was talking about it in the game thread as it happened. Not hindsight in his case. Given how the bullpen has been, a decision either way is not necessarily wrong. Porcello was coming off of 3 rocking chair innings and the pen was ready. Unfortunately, the decision made didn't work
  20. illinoisredsox
    I'm guessing that mesns hard hit balls right at people. Not much you can do about that.
  21. illinoisredsox
    That's reasonable (although per the play-by-play on Gamecast, Hill has lined out to center twice and seen a bunch of pitches; no idea if those liners were hard hit or not).
  22. illinoisredsox
    Okay folks, which is it?
  23. illinoisredsox
    Not hard to figure out. Holoday for Leon is the day game after a night game thing at catcher. Young is in for Benintendi; Holt was the only other choice and he's has been scuffling. Ortiz was a planned day off. The team has had 1 day off since July 18, that was the day after 11 games on the West Coast and they've spent 2 of the past 3 weeks on the road.. They all need some time off. What they really need is a couple of rain outs in a row.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Gamecast has it at 4 line drive outs for the Sox so far. Are these hard hit balls or humped back liners?
  25. illinoisredsox
    You understand it or you don't understand it?
