    Bull.

    Like I said, Dalbec doesn’t need help to strike out; he can do it just fine all on his own. He did need help to reach first base and that time he got it.

    He’s always seemed to have that issue; even back when he had his good 1/2 season, BD had a lot of borderline pitches go against him. It’s not like he complains constantly. Like you said, he’ll K enough on his own. He doesn’t need help. He really ought to consider getting aggressive on the first pitch. Pitchers are just throwing it down the middle because he takes it 95% of the time.

    Other than preventing Morgan from hitting a likely Series clinching homer, sure. Evans himself has said it wasn’t the best catch he ever made, but it was the most important. If you’ve never seen it, there’s a video on you tube where Dewey describes the catch and why it looked so awkward. Worth spending 5 minutes on if you’ve never seen it.

    Correct

    Last Red Sox complete game shutout was Michael Wacha at the Angels a couple years ago. The last one at Fenway was the immortal Brian Johnson in 2017 against Seattle.

    I won’t take credit for it; the radio guys mentioned it. If you think about it, it makes sense, because that type of wind up really could be deceptive to the baserunners.

    When a pitcher uses the sideways type windup (the type that looks a lot like a stretch position), he has to declare which one he is throwing out of with men on base. I think Lively failed to do this; that may have been the reason the balk was called.

    It’s amazing how often those shots off Red Sox bats are foul and how often when they’re off opponents bats they stay fair.

    Well, I guess I was an inning off with my over/under mark of 3.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Definitely a fierce competitor; as I recall, he played for the Harlem Globetrotters one off season. Supposedly he quit because he couldn’t stand the clowning.

    That’s how bad everybody’s offense was in the Year of the Pitcher. Yaz won the AL batting title that year with a .301 average. Cater was second at .290. Only 4 or 5 guys broke .300 in the NL.
  13. illinoisredsox
    A little before my time; was he a 1 inning guy or did he go multiple innings?
  14. illinoisredsox
    In 1968, Bob Gibson of the Cardinals went 22-9 with a 1.12 ERA. He was never removed from the mound during an inning that entire season. In fact, the only time he was ever removed from a game was when he was pinch hit for.

    30 years, I’d say. Maybe 35 or 40. When I was a kid, closers often went multiple innings. Guys like Goose Gossage and Rollie Fingers would routinely go 2 or even more to finish a game. Of course, starting pitcher often went, wait for it, 9 innings or sometimes more. One of the most memorable games I ever listened to was a game from Anaheim, had to be 1973 or 1974. Nolan Ryan vs. Luis Tiant. Angels won it in 15, with Tiant going the distance for the Sox. Ryan was removed kicking and screaming after only 12 or 13.

    At least Kenley had a past; Dalbec had what, a half a year? Bobby’s much more of a neverwas.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Over under on how many runs the Guardians will score in the 10th. I say 3.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Not just tonight. He’s yet to have a clean inning all year.
  19. illinoisredsox
    I’d put Dalbec 25 and Joely 26; since Dalbec pitched in college so he in theory could be used on the mound. He can at least fill in at multiple positions (I didn’t say well). No way Joely could play the field. They probably hit about the same.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Who’s behind him?
  21. illinoisredsox
    Whitlock came out with an oblique injury, so he’ll likely be gone for a couple months. Dalbec in at 3rd. With Rafi due up 4th in n the 8th inning, that can’t be good news.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Ah, I was was thinking the division winners gets the top two seeds and then the rest go by points. But as I think about it, 2-3 in each division get seeds 3-6 and the wildcards are 7-8. I sit corrected.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Agree. Those things are ingrained long before a player reaches the majors.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Yes, though I don't know how accurate the throw was, if Kwan made a great slide to avoid it or if Casas just flat out missed it.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Winner gets the Islanders, loser gets the Maple Leafs. Tough choice.
