    Near as I can tell, he also tied the consecutive strikeout record by any pitcher that was set by Roger Clemens in his first 20 strikeout game. Multiple Sox pitchers combined to strike out 11 straight Rays a few years ago.

    Relatively cheaply as well (around $2M IIRC).

    He's not that young; he'll be 27 in September. I do agree Verdugo may be the one to go if they decide to be sellers. He will get you the most bang for the buck. The issue is, he likes Boston, and those guys are often hard to find.

    Refsnyder is fine for the role he plays, back up outfielder. Who fills that role if he's traded? The guys in the minors need to play every day, not sit on the bench in Boston.

    My concern for Houck is between the ears. We've both been around long enough to know that some guys come back okay after such an injury, others do not. The results are definitely mixed.

    Don’t know; I don’t have MLB TV anymore, and even if I did, I’m blacked out of Cubs games here. They were just wondering after he took two strikes that they said he normally would take a cut at.

    Radio guys are wondering about Raffy’s hand.

    When it comes to Wrigley, when the wind is blowing towards Lake Michigan, it’s the best hitters park there is. When it’s coming off of the lake, it’s a great pitchers park.

    Thing is, when an ump is calling a good game, no one notices. When there are no out of line calls, you just watch the game without distraction.

    Well I can tell you there’s a front headed that way. Went through here (~160 miles west) about 3 hours ago. We got about 1.25 inches of rain in about an hour and some very strong winds. Looks like it’s reaching the Western Chicago suburbs now.

    Probably both, depending on those teams schedules. I’d imagine they will minimize road trips for him.

    Bello has definitely seen far to many in his year in the majors. His stuff is going to induce a lot of ground balls; he needs plays to be made behind him.
  13. illinoisredsox
    You forgot Junichi Tazawa, who was pretty good against everyone except the Blue Jays. I used to think the Sox would have been better off leaving him south of the border when they went to Toronto. That team owned him.

    Splinter, so you don’t forget, start Friday’s Game Day thread now and edit it later this week.

    Sean McDonough just summed Oakland up perfectly: they are playing the kind of baseball of a 25 win team. To be fair, the A’s did recently have a 7 game win streak and had won their last 2 series, so they’ve been playing better than they are early this year. In fact, they’ve almost caught Kansas City in the race to avoid the worst record in MLB.

    Helped by a brain dead 2nd baseman

    Anyone catch the video of the Reds’ Elly De La Cruz stealing 2nd, 3rd and home on 2 pitches yesterday?
  18. illinoisredsox
    True. The delta in homers accounts for a lot of it.
  19. illinoisredsox
    He is utterly incapable of giving credit for anything any player on another team does. In his mind, every player on a bad team stinks. I have no idea what he would have thought about Steve Carlton on the 72 Phillies. Note - I am talking about the poster you are replying to.
  20. illinoisredsox
    The tape of this inning will not be sent to a fielding clinic.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Sox gifted Oakland a run and the A’s regifted it back.
  22. illinoisredsox
    But cheetahs never prosper.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Per the radio guys, there’s a bug going around the A’s locker room and Blackburn has it.
  24. illinoisredsox
    You totally missed Thunder’s point.

    Sox offered Nate a Qualifying Offer, which was worth ~$19.5M. Nate turned it down. Sox also offered Nate a multi year deal for more than the AAV than he ultimately got from the Rangers; Nate turned that down as well. I wish he were still here too, but Nate turned them down twice, so they moved on.
