    Don’t know about fielding the grounder (sounds like a once in a lifetime happenstance) but I certainly could see allowing yourself to get hit by a batted ball to break one up.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Yep. Like I said, a heads play by Turner. Guy’s a pro’s pro.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Not always. I’ve seen instances where umps haven’t awarded first on that call.
  4. illinoisredsox
    My apologies.
  5. illinoisredsox
    I must have missed the post where you said Cora should take Bello out after 6 innings.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Not a missed call.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Actually, a heads up play by Turner. He ran right into O’Neill’s path.

    Joel Youngblood once had hits for two teams in one day. He got a hit for the Mets in an afternoon game vs the Cubs; an inning later he was traded to the Expos, got to their night game in Philadelphia and got a hit for Montreal. Turner did have a hit for the Jays earlier today.

    Sox pitching since the All Star break have allowed 4, 7, 9, 9, 0, 20, 7, 11 and 7 (so far) runs. 74 runs in 9 games, and include 1 shutout. That’s almost unfathomable.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Who you going to use? You’ve got another game tomorrow and you’re going to need arms then, too.
  11. illinoisredsox
    He fills the 5th-6th spot in the pen okay. Unfortunately, without Slaten and Martin, he’s being asked to fill anywhere from the 2-4 slot, and he’s not that type of pitcher. Plus asking pitcher to get 5 outs in an inning …
  12. illinoisredsox
    Rice should have been rung up. Immediately gets a double on the next pitch.
  13. illinoisredsox
    He probably wasn’t going to get a hit, but that wasn’t even close to a swing. 2nd time tonight a Sox hitter has had a horrible call on one of those.
  14. illinoisredsox
    How many did he throw in the pen warming up each game? Any pitcher, especially a reliever, will tell you they do add to workload. Yeah, he only threw 23 in the Friday and Saturday games, but add in probably 30-40 more hard warmups minimum and it adds up. You are correct in that he didn’t do a good job tonight, but it’s explainable.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Middle of the bullpen pitchers who pitch 3 straight days usually don’t on day 3.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Even more than the Stork?
  17. illinoisredsox
    After the last 9 days, there’s not much left out there anyway.
  18. illinoisredsox
    That didn’t age well.
  19. illinoisredsox
    At least Romy hit the ball, there’s always a chance if you put it in play. O’Neill and Rafaela weren’t even competitive.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, he was getting a little better at pitch recognition for a while, but the last few games he’s reverted to earlier form a bit.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Yep, had you mixed up with the other nattering nabob of negatism. You two are essentially interchangeable.
  22. illinoisredsox
    So easy.Post 14, which happened before the Torres hit: “Nice start houck. Geez” Okay, you didn’t use the word awful, but you were bitching already.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Except you were already saying awful pitching before that happened.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Doesn’t matter to him. As I’ve written before, dmoney would consider JBJ pulling 3 balls from over the fence good pitching. He’d say 2 bunt singles and a chopper off the plate was awful pitching.
  25. illinoisredsox
    I think it works this way. The Dodgers have 7 days to work out a trade for him (which pretty much brings them right up to the July 30 deadline); he also can be put on waivers in that time frame. If no team claims him, he is released and can sign with anyone. So if the Sox actually want him, a trade is the only way to assure that. Hard to say if he would survive a waiver claim until the Red Sox turn.
