    After last years 3-16 performance against Toronto, there isn’t a poster here who before the season started wouldn’t have signed up for 6-1 vs. the Jays.

    I’m guessing that Pivetta, a recent convert to the pen, still requires more of a starter’s time to warm up. As a long time reliever. Ort probably can get ready a lot quicker. Only thing I can think of.
  3. illinoisredsox
    What does that mean?
  4. illinoisredsox
    Radio guys have repeatedly said Duvall has some sort of stomach bug; when Ort and Pivetta started warming up in the top of the 2nd, they were hoping that that Whitlock having it was the reason. So that does mean that Caleb Hamilton and Christian Arroyo are the bench.

    He’s trying to do to much and has been all year.

    Yoshida being out today hurt them big time there. Perfect spot for him. Duvall being sick isn’t helping either.

    Well, according to MassLive, Paxton will not pitch in the Texas series. So he’ll be back against the A’s Friday or maybe Saturday.

    Sox pitching this week is a mess. They are already undecided on Tuesday. Bello is going Wednesday. Paxton is up Thursday, but per the radio guys, his wife is due with their second child Tuesday, so who knows when that will happen or if he makes that start. I’d guess Crawford goes Friday and then we’re back to who knows for Saturday and next Sunday.

    He’s also a guy I don’t think they really care if they burn him out. He is utterly replaceable.

    For games, not after one inning of a starting pitcher.

    What an incredibly stupid post and I would have said it real time. My only mistake was starting to peruse the thread without logging in, which meant I actually had to see it. You really need to learn the value of an unexpressed thought.

    Ramirez could have gotten more on the open market; he is very happy in Cleveland and did not want to leave. His deal is a textbook definition of hometown discount.
  13. illinoisredsox
    How low have they sunk? 3 pages and 36 posts (as of this one) in a loss. During most losses, a couple of the more negative types can total that all by themselves.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Pivetta with 7 Ks in 3 innings. 44 pitches, how long do you ride him? I’d go one more and see where they’re at.
  15. illinoisredsox
    The Yankees have struggled. The O's are on a pace to win 99 games. That is not struggling.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Problem is no one knows how to slide feet first anymore. There was nothing prettier back in the day than a well executed hook slide.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Marlins can pitch, but the last 3 games have been ridiculous. This is a team that is expecting something to go wrong every game and when it does, they fold up in a fetal position.
  18. illinoisredsox
    One way to stop these infielders from blocking the base is to screw the headfirst slide go in feet first hard. It will cease very quickly.

    Garrett's last outing against Pittsburgh: 7 IP, 3 H, 2R, 1 ER, 0 R, 13 K on 88 pitches The one before that vs. Washington 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K on 90 pitches Going to be a tough road for the Sox tonight.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Like I said, I wasn’t going to go figure out the discrepancy for the 40th guy on the list. Scott is utterly replaceable no matter whether he’s on the 40 man or not.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Interesting; he’s not listed on the mlb.com version (not going to go through and figure out the difference; whoever it is is #40 on the list as far as value).
  22. illinoisredsox
    Whitlock’s going to have to take one for the team, with a bullpen game tomorrow.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Like I said, this is one of those games where the pitcher has nothing. Mussina said out of 32 starts, a pitcher has everything in 8 of them, nothing in 8 of them and something in the rest. They happen.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Why would Tek want the job?
  25. illinoisredsox
    I specifically said not you; see the phrase inside the parentheses in my OP. You actually know baseball. There are some posters here who think every bloop hit, infield chopper, etc. means the pitcher sucks. To those posters, JBJ pulling three balls back from over the fence means the pitcher is doing fine. You most certainly are not one of the posters.
