    Welp, out for now. Tornado sirens just went off and rotation has been seen less than 5 miles away.

    Does Bello have a single swing and miss tonight?
  3. illinoisredsox
    You forgot the Fenway Green sarcasm font LOL.

    43 with no one out in the 3rd ain’t good either.

    Patented Bello meltdown.
  6. illinoisredsox
    It’s gone on for so long it has to be lack of minor league instruction.

    Bello didn’t need help from the plate ump increasing his pitch count, but he’s getting it.
  8. illinoisredsox
    I saw he got the vote of confidence from the front office yesterday, so we’ve got that going for us.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Time for your patented oughta here, isn’t it?
  10. illinoisredsox
    I get sending him with Wong on deck.

    Home Plate ump with no consistency whatsoever tonight. Hitters and pitchers are going to have a tough night.

    So Cora’s already decided that Mayer can’t hit left handed pitching. That’ll help him develop.

    Why is this in 50 point type?

    Yeah, we got it. What’s your alternative?

    Who was that guy for the Mets years ago who lost something like 25 straight decisions (might have even been a couple more than that). You have to be at least halfway decent for any team to keep sending a pitcher out there with that track record. Edit - it was a guy named Anthony Young in 1992 and 1993. His ERA over those two years was about 4, which won’t get you all-star status but shouldn’t get you 27 straight losses either. In Senzatela’s case, his ERA is north of 7, so there is some correlation.

    The only one of these 4 2/3 removals that made any sense to me was Giolito’s on Friday; the batter was Matt Olson, who careerwise has hit about .700 against Lucas with 4 homers and a ton of RBIs. I know, SSS, but at least that one had some data to back it up.

    Your first line reminds me of Bob Gibson’s 1968 season (the one where he had a 1.12 ERA). He threw 28 complete games in 34 starts and was never removed from the mound during an inning once all season. The only times he was replaced were when he was pinch hit for. My guess is if Red Schoendist had tried, Bob would’ve killed him.

    One of the all-time W-L anomalies was Steve Carlton with the 1972 Phillies. Carlton went 27-10 for a team that won 59 games.

    Depends on what you're willing to give up. From what I've heard, the Pirates want at least 1 if not 2 of the big 3. I'd feel better about such a deal if Dombrowski were the GM/PBO. He had a knack for identifying the keepers from the pretenders (keeping Devers and trading Moncada in the Sale deal, for example). Neither Bloom nor Breslow seems to be able to do that.
  22. illinoisredsox
    The one thing that might, I repeat, might, work in Story sticking with the club is that he is a veteran presence in what is a very young clubhouse, particularly the young infielders. Especially with Bregman out. Devers is a vet, but he has shown no interest in filling anything resembling a mentoring role (as Bogaerts did for him 8-9 years ago) and if anything, is a negative influence. Duran and Refsnyder have been around long enough to help with the OFs. That doesn't mean Trevor should be playing every day. However, Refsnyder doesn't play a lot but certainly called out the team's play a little the other day. It doesn't have to be a regular but here is some value in having vets around.
  23. illinoisredsox
    See my post above. Any other hitter, he’d stay in. Olson, no.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Ahead of time, I have no issue with Cora pulling Giolito here, given that Olson has hit about .750 against him.
  25. illinoisredsox
    It all plays off the fastball; because he can’t catch up to a fastball, he has to cheat and start his swing early which means when the slider comes, he can’t hold up.
