    What did Bloom have to do with any of that?
  2. illinoisredsox
    Your evidence?

    Make some suggestions as to who you would have used. There are guys you use when you are ahead and guys you use when you are behind. Hint, the latter types are not Martin and Jansen. Like so many games the past couple months, it’s the starting pitching, not the #6-8 relievers.

    It would have been 50-50, but I think you send him. 1) You have nothing to lose 2) It was going to take a perfect throw to get him. If the O’s make that perfect play, hats off to them. Of course, they would have made that perfect throw, because that’s the way things are going for the O’s this year. Just like had an Oriole batter hit the ball Story did, it either would have been a couple feet longer and a couple feet higher and clanked off the pole, or it would have taken a crazy bounce for a triple.

    And high school players who are playing anywhere except shortstop, pitcher, catcher or centerfield seldom get drafted.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Are you complaining about picking high school shortstops or high school players in general? Surely you do realize that virtually the only high school players drafted are pitchers, catchers, shortstops and center fielders, with the latter two in far smaller numbers than the first two. College is a different matter, though the vast majority of high school guys who play in college were, wait for it, high school pitchers, shortstops, catchers and centerfielders.

    Martin pitched the 8th. You want him to pitch the 9th, 10th and 11th as well? Schreiber did the job in the 9th and 10th. Crawford going less than 4 was a killer.
  8. illinoisredsox
    That’s for sure.

    Pretty sure the Sox have the fewest in the majors this season. At worst, they have the second fewest. I think they are best in save percentage or again, maybe second.
  10. illinoisredsox
    So instead of 8-6, they lose 7-6.
  11. illinoisredsox
    He saved 30 games this year, they’re asking him to do something he hasn’t done all year and he’s garbage?
  12. illinoisredsox
    How did that work out?
  13. illinoisredsox
    You could see that coming in the AB against Diaz. Couldn’t put him away.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Not an easy play as far as he had to go.
  15. illinoisredsox
    WP did the job, but McGuire’s tap would have anyway.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Bunt coming here Edit- or not. WP helps.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Lousy throw but at least it was up the 3rd base line.
  18. illinoisredsox
    That’s on Casas. Urias had no chance to get there from where they had him playing. Now why he was playing there is a different discussion.
  19. illinoisredsox
    I don’t know about timely hitting, but that described the 10th perfectly
  20. illinoisredsox
    “Clutch” exists to the extent that in a big situation, some players are able to relax and do what they normally do. A “clutch” .300 hitter will hit around .300 in those situations. A .250 hitter will hit around .250. I firmly believe “non-clutch” also exists. Those are the guys who tense up and are not able to do what they normally do.
  21. illinoisredsox
    You have become insufferable. Turner’s ball was hit hard. It was also a play that should have been made. Two things can be true at the same time.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Agreed, but I’ll cut the kid a small break on his first series at the Trop; last night the only chance he had all night was a line drive to end the game.
  23. illinoisredsox
    True, but too many Sox pitchers seem to fall apart when things go a bit awry as well. They’ve got to be mentally tougher. Kutter’s making horrible pitches all inning.
  24. illinoisredsox
    The discussion on the Rays pitching philosophy is interesting. Go as hard as you can as long as you can, and that might get you a deal somewhere else. Seems like a lot of those guys end up hurt. If I’m a GM, I’d be very reluctant to sign any pitcher who has spent much time in Tampa.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Biggest problem is they have to pass 2 teams. That’s the toughest part. It helps that the Rangers and Astros have to play each other, but that may only get them past one of them. Jays have an easy schedule on paper.
