Disagree. Boddicker helped the Sox to 2 division titles in 1988 and 1990. Schilling didn’t become the pitcher we remember until he got to the Phillies in 1992 and really didn’t hit his stride until 1997. Would he have developed in the same way in the Sox organization? Who knows. Anderson didn’t do much for the O’s until 1992.

I hereby renounce my previous stance that he excels with the Giants except for 3 games a year. He’s dead to me now. Henceforth, Devers will be known to me as The Dead Guy (aka TDG).
-
It’s a two way street though. Yes, Breslow has to decide which way to go. But the players have to give Breslow a reason to go out and get help; the next 4 games will go a long way towards that influencing that decision.
-
He loves patting himself on the back. Luckily, I only see his drivel if someone quotes it.
-
Who would you have in there instead? Anyone is not an answer. Sanchez is a really good pitcher; he’s 28, been around 5-6 years and has a pretty good idea of what he’s doing out there. Tonight was never a good matchup for the Sox.
-
Phils may be developing a book on Anthony. Or he might just be having a rough patch. He was sick Sunday, wonder if there’s some lingering effects.
-
Since the break, Gonzalez now 0-11 with 7 Ks.
-
Analytics have their place. Overuse/100 percent reliance on them does not.
-
Not sure why the run Harper scored was earned. Yes, Harper was safe, but the ump never made a safe call and the next batter flies out to end the inning. Edit - okay, OB’s explanation makes more sense. The batter was awarded first on the CI; by stepping in front of home plate, Narvaez also committed a “catchers balk”, so Harper is awarded home and the runner on second is awarded 3rd. Catchers balks don’t really exist in the rule book but the action causes one to be charged to the pitcher. Harper was safe either way.

Different leg this time though.
-
14 days rest too much for Fitts (or really anyone).
-
Don’t know about the rest of his career, but almost certainly the rest of this year.
-
Actually, so have the Pale Hose and the Mariners. You’re splitting hairs though. The AL average runs per game allowed is 4.33. Since every team has played about 100 games to date, that means over the course of the entire season, the Sox have allowed a grand total of 2 more runs over the average AL team. One more thing we can blame on Abraham Toro since he allowed 2 runs in his mop up relief appearance.

I noted this in today’s game thread, Duran has virtually stopped attempting to steal bases. In March/April, he stole 10 bags in 13 attempts (Sox played 32 games) Since then, he is only 6 for 8 (Sox have played 69 games): May 3 for 5, June 2 for 2, July 1 for 1. Any ideas?
-
Who knew we had an onocentaur posting here?
-
So you’re also half serious.
-
True; my response was more for those who want Narvaez in the lineup every day.
-
They’re being cautious with him. Thats okay.
-
That’s fine; no issue with that. Wong has played his way out of a job. It’s not like he’s hitting hard shots at people. His swings don’t even look competitive. Narvaez could DH, but really, offensively he’s not that different than Yoshida. Modest power, will hit his share of doubles.
-
Narvaez can’t catch every game; no catcher can. He’s already showing some signs of fatigue.
-
Like I said earlier, watching Bregman last weekend and this one, he obviously isn’t 100%. I don’t have a problem taking it a little easy with him for a while. I want him available for as many games as possible the rest of the way.
-
Bregman? Have to wonder if Redsnyder s ill as this would be the optimal spot for him. Edit - That’s why I’m posting here and not managing a major league team. Second edit - Forgot Yoshida is in left today, not DH. Makes more sense now for D.
-
I think you’re right, but the lack of attempts is alarming.
-
I still remember the 1966 World Series, O’s swept the Dodgers by scores of 5-2, 6-0, 1-0 and 1-0.
-
Duran had a terrible short secondary off 3rd there, even with Horton in the wind up.
