    Have to admit, this plate ump has been pretty good tonight. He’s certainly consistent and I don’t recall any ridiculous misses.

    There is no adjective that describes the disinterest I have in professional pumpkin chucking.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Too bad Fred’s no longer enjoying the game.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Interesting move leaving Dalbec in against the righty. Edit - and Bob puts up a really good AB

    And his cigar smoking skills. Keeping those things lit in the shower was amazing. He was fun to watch.

    Nah. It was June of 1974. Darrell Johnson gave him a break and gave him 4 days off after that game. Tiant pitched a complete game win against Vida Blue (who also went the route) on June 10th. Then the aforementioned game against the Angels on June 14 followed by another win against Blue on the 18th. Tiant “only” went 10 in that one and didn’t pitch the bottom of the 11th in a Sox win. 8 days, 34+ innings Ryan wimped out of that game in the 12th or 13th.

    Cmon, he kept it rolling right to the shortstop.
  8. illinoisredsox
    So do I, but then I also remember 4 man rotations and Tiant going the distance in a 15 inning loss to the Angels.

    Which would make them decidedly average for a MLB starter.
  10. illinoisredsox
    Most 4-5 pitchers are that high.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Yep; sums up the game very well.
  12. illinoisredsox
    6 Sox hitters. 2 hits and 3 atem balls.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Yea!!!!
  14. illinoisredsox
    So you tell us ad nauseum. So why are you watching?
  15. illinoisredsox
    Well, it was a guess on my part; too lazy to actually check.

    Cooper at least had a moderately successful first 7 years in the majors. Not great, but not awful. He was even an all-star 2 years ago (I’ll concede he was probably Miami's mandatory player) Except for 1/2 a year, Dalbec is a never was.
  17. illinoisredsox
    8th inning and I still don’t know what this ump’s strike zone is. Very inconsistent. Westbrook has two obvious balls called strikes, including strike 3. Cooper has two strikes called balls.
  18. illinoisredsox
    You also eventually get to one guy who doesn’t have it on a given day. The more guys you use, the more likely it will happen.
  19. illinoisredsox
    He’s been Houdini several times this year. Eventually that fails.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Who are you selling?
  21. illinoisredsox
    Hey, he hit the ball and got the run in. How many times this year have we seen K, K and then a lazy fly ball in that situation?
  22. illinoisredsox
    When you play a team can matter a lot. I said in Thursday’s game thread this series scares me. A team that has lost as many in a row as the Pale Hose had can be dangerous when breaks start to go their way, and sooner or later they will. They benefited today from some fortuitous ball-strike calls both on the mound and at the plate; they took advantage of those breaks.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Betts missed 14 games at the end of May/early June in 2018; obviously he was on the DL for those 2 weeks. He also had 6 or 7 games off during the last couple weeks of the season after the Sox had pretty much clinched. Xander pretty much followed the same pattern, except his DL stint was in late April (he missed 15 games there). Leon caught in 87 games, Vazquez 75, Swihart 28 and the immortal Dan Butler in 2.
  24. illinoisredsox
    In his last 2 starts prior to tonight, Crochet allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in 12 innings and struck out 19. That got him a record of 0-1 and a no decision.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Who cares, it's professional pumpkin chucking.
