  1. Not just tonight. He’s yet to have a clean inning all year.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Agree. Those things are ingrained long before a player reaches the majors.
  6. 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.
  7. Winner gets the Islanders, loser gets the Maple Leafs. Tough choice.
  8. Two chances to make a play and the Sox make neither.
  9. He's not giving up his ESPN gig to do full time PxP for the Sox. He's going to be gone for at least a month right now for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
  10. Care to expand on your reasoning?
  11. I have no problem with Rafaela playing short. I have no problem with him playing center. I have a problem jerking him back and forth. He’s trying to figure things out offensively; it’s not fair to him to have to play two very important positions on a game by game basis.
  12. There’s a reason 10 guys either didn’t get the job or wouldn’t even interview. The problem is above whoever is in the Bloom/Breslow seat.
  13. Looks like a bigger chunk than they, but I’ll take your numbers as correct.
  14. Pretty close to that. A couple thousand short of that for day games, because they put a black tarp over the area in dead center in those.
  15. Sean McDonough not mincing any words on the postgame radio comments. Said out loud that Hamilton is not the solution at short and that they are getting nothing out of several others. Breslow knows this; Henry's not going to let him do anything. IMO, Hamilton needs to be sent to Low-A and told to learn to catch the ball.
  16. Only put him out there when the Sox are hitting. Maybe it would rub off on the other team. Once the Sox are on D, put him outside Fenway for that 1/2 inning. And on cue, Hamilton screws up another potential DP, which costs another run. Edit - make that 2.
  17. Bottom line is 2 hits and 4 runners ain't going to get it done. And it happens way too often.
  18. We can blame Cora for the defense but Merloni said it best about AAA depth; the most important thing they need to be able to do is catch the ball. You aren’t asking depth guys to carry you offensively. It goes deeper than Cora; guys are not learning in the minors.
  19. As was Swihart’s initial try in LF (2016 I think). He racked up his ankle running into the wall down the line in left n one of the first games he played out there and was never the same.
  20. Except lemonade tastes good. The better analogy is chicken s***-chicken salad.
  21. No, the blame goes straight to John Henry. He’s the one who has constrained Breslow from signing better players; I think much of the rest of the ownership group is pissed off at JH as well.
  22. Players have to give the fans a little help to promote atmosphere. I did hear some boos after the Rafaela-Casas error.
