Not the ideal way to score, but it beats the K we’ve seen all too often. As you, me and most of the board said all of last year, put the ball in play and something good might happen.
-
Yup. Every pitcher who gives up 2 runs in the first 3 innings (or 4 as it ended up) deserves a loss.
-
Didn’t say he was great, but given the number of runners he allowed, it easily could have been 4-5 runs. He kept the game close and gave the team a shot.
-
Kid wasn’t sharp but he did limit the damage and gave them a chance. A loss at this point is on the O (again).
-
I didn't get it Wednesday when Cora left Whitlock in for 30 pitches, figuring he'd be unavailable for a couple days because of it. In another instance of managers know stuff we don't, it turns out he was not going to be available for a vastly different reason. Congrats to Garrett and his wife on a baby boy.

Red Sox all alone with worst record again
illinoisredsox replied to Deja Doh's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Agree 100% on Rafaela and challenges. If I’m Cora, he is told you challenge a pitch again, you won’t finish the AB. Then. AC has to follow up actually doing it. It’ll never happen. -
Vazquez trying to help Whitlock out, swing at ball 4 twice before taking that 3rd strike.
-
This will waste Whitlock for any use on Ffiday.
-
Good answer
-
That didn’t age well 😀(not that it matters).
-
So if the Sox pitchers faced the Sox hitters in “real” intersquad game, what happens?
-
I’d drill Alvarez again here.
-
When the Sox next visit Houston, they should seriously think about skipping Crochet in the rotation. Lack of offense today aside, this will make him 0-3 at Minutemaid (or whatever it’s called now) and his performance today actually reduced his ERA there to 7.43.
-
They keep getting 1-2 runs a game, you could trot Koufax, Gibson, Pedro, Verlander and Scherzer to the mound in their primes and you’d be fortunate to win 50 games.
-
I have no issue with letting Watson keep going here. He’s got to learn sometime and a game like this is a chance to do it. He’s going to be here all year anyway, so he may as well pitch. Right now he’s overthrowing.
-
Even Crochet would have trouble winning the way they’re “hitting” right now.
-
Assuming he has options left, I’d strongly consider delivering a message and send him down for a while. He’s been up for 3 1/2 years and other than a 2 month stretch last year, it’s the same BS every game. Edit - Just checked, Bello has 2 options remaining.
-
Screw Bello. You want to mess around and walk guys with 2 outs, you eat the inning. Don’t care if your arm falls off. We can replace a #4 pitcher.
-
From now on, just wave Alvarez to first. I don’t care if the bases are loaded. He’s killed us since he came up.
-
Took some close pitches. Just tried to put it in play. Didn’t try to hit it 500 feet. There’s a lesson in that for some (most) of these guys.
-
Well, you can cancel the postgame show.
-
Ya beat me to it by a minute. Brown won’t be allowed to go the distance this early unless he starts getting a lot of 3 pitch ABs so it will have to be a combined one.
-
Is it too soon to start the possible no hitter talk?
-
Wasn’t a foul ball, so it had to cross grass/dirt line fair, especially off a left handed bat. But this is what we’re reduced to, discussing whether a pop up was fair or foul. Oh look, two fly balls to left.
-
All on fastballs IiRC. Maybe one wasn’t.
