    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.

    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.
  4. 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).

    Whitlock’s going to have to take one for the team, with a bullpen game tomorrow.

    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.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Why would Tek want the job?

    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.

    Baseball’s weird. Bob Uecker hit .429 against Sandy Koufax in over 50 ABs. He hit like .200 overall.

    Carew couldn’t do it. Gwynn couldn’t do it. Brett couldn’t do. Arraez won’t either.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Per some here (not you), that’s a sure sign of lousy pitching. Three shots like Duvall’s is a sign of good pitching.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Duvall at least seems to be out of the miserable part of his slump. 3-4 hard hits balls the last couple games.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Exactly. Alcantra won the NL Cy Young last year; he’s had a rough year so far, but he still can be nasty.
  14. illinoisredsox
    This may be one of those 8 starts Mussina talked about where a pitcher has nothing.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Scott's irrelevant; he's not on the 40 man. DFAing him means nothing. Not sure why they obtained him to begin with, but that's a different discussion.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Devers has been in a slump since the beginning of last August. His slash for that timeframe is .244/.317/.444/.761 in 129 games. His career numbers are .279/.339/.509/.848 in 764 games, and those numbers are being dragged down by the last 5 months. He's had times in the past where he slumps trying to do to much, but this year especially, it looks like he's trying to hit an 8 run 500 foot homer every time up. I hope the plate discipline he showed this weekend will continue; it will be better for him and the club.

    Looked to me like Sheets was about 45-60 feet from home as Casas caught the ball. I thought he had a shot, though it would have taken a virtually perfect throw and tag (so it probably would not have happened). White Sox tv crew said he may have had a shot as well. Reasonable people can disagree here. But you are correct. Casas’ real screwup was on Benintendi. That was a play I learned as a first time first baseman when I was a 12 year old Little Leaguer and further instilled through Babe Ruth, high school and Legion ball (well maybe not so much there; I didn’t play much at that point). A major leaguer should not be messing that up.

    Geez, chill out. If you can cherry pick a 2 week stretch (which you did), don't be pissed off when someone else does the same thing.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Well, since I have to leave for a while, the answer to the trivia question of who was the last MLB player to not wear a helmet is the guy who backed up Pudge Fisk Bob Montgomery
  20. illinoisredsox
    Strike two call was criminal. Strike 3 was at least just off the edge.
  21. illinoisredsox
    He absolutely had a play at home. Was anyone telling him where to go with the ball? When I was a kid, the catcher would have that duty. Say nothing, the throw goes through. Cut two, cut three, cut four meant cut the ball of and throw to second, third or home respectively. Cut hold meant just cut the ball off. We didn’t use cut home because it sounded to much like hold.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Mostly the last couple innings once his pitch count got up over 60-65. Territory he hasn’t been in this year.
  23. illinoisredsox
    What are you talking about; there are lots of current Bosox players haunting this team.
  24. illinoisredsox
    More bad D. Casas screws up twice on that play. He had a play at the plate. He had Benintendi dead to rights if he throws to 3rd. He got neither.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Final hint: This player was a Red Sox back-up catcher
