    Eck says you don’t always know. I’ll take his word for it.

    I see this brought up a lot by you. So what should Cora do to prepare them mentally? Please enlighten us with whatever advice you would give Cora. For that matter, what would you do if you were in his position.

    The last time the Twins won a season series against the Yanks, George W. Bush was in his first year as President (they also split a couple times in 2005 and 2006).

    September call ups are going to be weird this year. As we all know, the roster is set at 28, no more no less. In past years, the minor league season ended right around Labor Day. I was at a local High-A game a couple weeks ago and noticed that the Midwest league season isn’t going to end until September 11; I just checked Worcester’s and they list games until September 28. Revolving door, especially with any pitchers?

    My favorite Mostism was “Did you see Chamberlain stick his eye into Russell’s elbow?”

    And Meals hasn’t helped tonight. He extended Bello a couple of times earlier in the game and Schreiber on two pitches last inning.
  7. illinoisredsox
    You got a better option right now?
  8. illinoisredsox
    Sounded like he made a really good pitch and Ursela was just better. Also sounded like he struck Ursrla out and once again didn’t get a call.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Would have required McGuire to hit a moving target. Could have been a real disaster. I realize Strahm is now in, but this isn’t the first time the Sox have been awful on D behind Bello.

    Devers offensive woes are carrying over to his defense; it’s happened before.
  11. illinoisredsox
    You would be wrong; he’s got the stuff to be a #3 or even a #2 if he can add another pitch.
  12. illinoisredsox
    That was easier when you had more than 3 guys on the bench. I get your point though. At least in Verdugo’s case he knew he screwed up (at least according to the radio guys).
  13. illinoisredsox
    How about putting some blame on the players? They are professionals, they bear a lot of responsibility for the lack of focus. At this level you shouldn’t need your daddy to get you ready to play.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Can’t see the game due to blackout (VPN workaround not working tonight). Radio guys are all over Verdugo for that blunder.
  15. illinoisredsox
    It’s not the number of games to be made up but the number of teams to go through. The Sox have to pass 4 teams to get the last spot, and there are no more games against either the White Sox or the Mariners. Plus I would guess the O’s, Rays and Jays are also playing a division heavy schedule which means somebody ahead of the Sox will win on a given day.

    Going to interesting to see what two guys they bring up Thursday when rosters expand. Remember, every team has to have a 28 man roster, no more, no less.
  17. illinoisredsox
    He did what good pitchers do when they don’t have their best stuff, he battled, kept the score reasonable and gave his team a chance.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Enjoyed the game just fine. Some tense moments but entertaining. To paraphrase what Jim Lovell said to Marylin Lovell in Apollo 13, you missed a hell of a show.
  19. illinoisredsox
    You beat me to it.
  20. illinoisredsox
    The one positive from tonight was Bello looked pretty good.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Most teams can score a guy from second with no outs; it’s almost a given. Key in extras is font give up the second run, which he didn’t. The Red Sox consistently can’t even advance a guy from second, much less score him.
  22. illinoisredsox
    I noticed Cora went down to talk to him; I’m guessing he missed (or didn’t look for) a sign.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Okay, that’s 2 at Raffy tonight. Vlad needs to go down early tomorrow. Start Brasier or whoever to do the job
  24. illinoisredsox
    At least he hit the ball hard for once. I was expecting a Called K or maybe a weak grounder to short. Still, he has cost himself a ton of money with this years performance and really, his woes go back to the last 1/3 of last year.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Correct on Lonborg. 1 run on 3 hits between games 2 and 5. Gibson’s 1968 season was sick. 22-9 (at a time when W-L meant a lot more than it does now), 1.12 ERA and a 0.853 WHIP, 34 starts, 28 complete games and 13 shutouts. IIRC, he never was removed from a game during an inning.
