    Not a matter of depth. You only have 4 bench players, and Story can’t play, so 3. Refsnyder’s in the game, Vazquez already pinch hit and Dalbec is up for Bradley.
  2. illinoisredsox
    He was trying to, got jammed. Would have been better to just turn on it

    You know if a Rays player had hit that it would have been one foot higher and a homer.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Nah, they did this plenty of times in April, and, to quote Yogi Berra, it’s deja vous all over again

    Bogaerts was voted to the team by the players. JD replaced Houston’s Yordan Alvarez who went down with a hand injury.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Probably right. Rays are in the Sox heads at this point.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Got thrown out at home on a Choi double. Just applying the standards from last night.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Guess the Rays should bench Diaz, right?

    I know they are going to Schreiber, but: 1) 2nd and 3rd with no one out is a very tough situation 2) he’s been so good for so long that sooner or later he’s not going to have it Given the bullpen issues lately, can’t blame Cora for rolling the dice with Crawford, but IMO he waited one batter too long Edit - I am posting this live as I’m seeing it, MLBTV feed is delayed slightly

    So true. I can’t tell if he’s got some nagging little injury or is distracted by his contract issues or what. He so stoic you just can’t tell.

    Not sure what you’re trying to say here. 5 RBIs in 7 games pace extrapolates to 115 for the season. We’d take that. OTOH, 10 in 30 is 54 RBI pace. That is pathetic for a cleanup hitter.
  12. illinoisredsox
    JD made contact, just not fair balls. He at least put up a fight, stretching the AB to 10 pitches. Bogey looked overmatched.

    So what you are saying is the Royals will be fielding a AAA-AA team in Toronto this weekend against all current science.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Supposedly, nothing is broken. I’m guessing it’s pretty sore.
  15. illinoisredsox
    In a loss. We often see 4 page threads in a win, but losses usually are 10+ pages.

    Do it a lot and I have no problem benching a guy. After one instance, no. As a player, getting benched after any mistake (and it took a weird hop and a perfect throw to get him) means I’m not going to try anything.
  17. illinoisredsox
    You bench people like that and all you’d ever see is advance one base at a time. Never try anything.
  18. illinoisredsox
    You do realize you can only bench 3 guys before you’re out of guys to bench, right? That was a weird play, the ball hit the turf and backed up like a pro golfer landing a wedge on the green. Not an excuse, but weird.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Last night was the Sox best chance for a win in this series; the pitching matchups tonight and tomorrow never favored Boston in any way.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Anyone else see who the Jays will be playing this weekend? They get to play what amounts to the Royals minor league all star team. Beni is among those missing the four game set.
  21. illinoisredsox
    New Blue Jays manager should get off to a fast start; 10 Kansas City Royal players will miss a four game set in Toronto due to unvaccinated status. Royals will be missing all 3 of their starting outfielders plus their primary backup of, their main utility guy, both catchers, 2 starting pitchers and a reliever. The Jays will be playing a bunch of AA and AAA players.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Exactly. Eliminating Barnes and Danish (since they aren’t on the active roster right now), you’ve 4 guys in Sawamura, Brasier, Davis and Strahm who all have their moments good and bad, and like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get from them on a given night. And you generally are going to use at least one per game.
  23. illinoisredsox
    I knew you wouldn’t actually answer my question. Whoever is not an answer.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Question is would he want to manage.
  25. illinoisredsox
    He was kind of out of players but I would have had him hit for Franchy and hope ran into one. Problem was if JD had only tied the game, he would have had to go into the field, but that’s a risk I would have taken.
