Two comments before I close interaction with you: 1) I’m glad to know that you don’t care about my career; I’d be worried if you did. 2) The idea that one must have been a college athlete to understand the concept of redshirting is so unbelievable as to defy description. What that part had to do with what I posted isn’t clear, but I’m sure it was somehow connected in your mind. The obvious last question of you I should ask is if you are so knowledgeable and great in your baseball observations, why are you posting here instead of running or working for a major league club? I don’t think I’ll ask it. The answer is self-evident. TTFE.
-
Once again, you have absolutely no idea what level anyone posting here played to. In turn, none of us actually knows what level you played to. We know you claim to have played at a reasonably high level, but we have nothing more than your words to go by. I could say I played high school, American Legion and was a second round draft choice. Do you know any of it to be true or false?
-
Oh for crying out loud, 99.9% of right handed infielders in the majors played ss in high school. Most get moved upon signing a minor league contract or a college scholarship. With your background, you surely know that.

Bello splits: Night 51 G, 3.86 ERA, 1.316 WHIP Day 26 G, 5.54 ERA, 1.699 WHIP Giolito actually has better numbers in day games than night games careerwise (ERA is about a run apart vs almost 2 and the WHIP is very a lot closer as well). Not saying would hold up, but at least play the odds.

Teams are limited to 13 pitchers you can have less, but as you said, they don’t. The current September rules require a 28 man roster with a limit of 14 pitchers, so if they would expand to that number full time, I’d imagine that limit would remain.
-
Why in the effing world would you start Bello in a day game if you don’t have to?
-
Story’s fate has no affect on Anthony unless the latter makes a sudden move to the infield. Anthony will be promoted if there is an outfield injury or a current OF is involved in a trade.
-
I have to assume you are ignoring the fact Wilson also threw 24 Monday night and Weissert threw 17 in that game. If you plan on having a shot at an effective bullpen in July (let alone September), you can’t trot guys out every night. No manager does the same things in May that he does in September. They scored 1 run and struck out 16 times. Thats the story, not how the pitching staff was handled.
-
Pretty sure I’ve read they gave him a 1B mitt In spring training 2024; since we’ve never seen him in a game at that position since, I’m surmising it did not go well.
-
Now to be fair, the dropped third strike only helps if the first baseman is involved.
-
Moon, you left out the Fenway Green sarcasm font.
-
Not too many knights of the keyboard in those trout streams.
-
Has anyone ever seen a ball actually hit the ladder? I know I never had, and I’ve been watching since the late 60s.
-
On replay, it looked like the throw took a high hop, which may have made a difference on Hamilton’s tag attempt. Moot anyway, Mets didn’t score.
-
Lindor was stealing second. Pitch was a good strike down and away. Not borderline at all. Umpire called it a ball. Buehler at first was dumbfounded and then said something (I’m not JomBoy, I have no idea what). Umpire yanks his mask off and comes out 1/3 of the way to the mound, telling Buehler to get back on the mound (IMO, he had already decided to toss Buehler, he just needed to provoke things a little). Buehler said one more thing (might have been you get back to the plate) and got tossed. Cora wasn’t long for the game after that either.
-
This isn’t going to be the last Sox player run tonight. Estabrook is one of those umps with a short fuse and a long memory. He’s still glaring at the Sox dugout.
-
I’d like to see Bernardino take about 1/2 hour to warm up here. Estabrook wants to escalate things, let him sit back there and stew.
-
I know you and I have had our differences here, but I gotta give you props for this one.
-
Oh, so now we can’t comment on a public post? Take it to PM if you don’t want others weighing in. The FACT is moon did not mention a timeframe. The FACT that you introduced one says a couple things: 1) You know he has a point 2) You can’t admit someone else has a valid point, so you had to introduce something in a pathetic effort try and negate said point. You have some of the thinnest skin I’ve seen on these boards. But by all means, keep that nose in the sky since you think you are so vastly superior to everyone here. Go ahead, flame away.
-
You are correct this topic has been beaten to death. However, I can’t let your first point go by without stating the obvious: nowhere did moon say a year. He said number of plays; there was no time reference. That was something you added. For someone who has chided others on reading comprehension, you blew that one professor.

Consider the source Jason.

No, Castillo actually saw the field in Pawtucket. Yoshida hasn’t played in a game yet this season

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
illinoisredsox replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The first part is easy. Player come in as a pinch runner and the team bats around until the pr’s slot in the batting order comes up. The second part, I remember it happening but I can’t recall the player. In this case, he obviously ran for the DH, which is why he didn’t take the field. -
One has to ask, do we want Mayer and Anthony anywhere near the losing mentality of the major league team?
-
With all due respect moon, I did not think it possible for a poster to consistently make you seem pithy.
