    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.

    So who would you have put in? How would you have stitched together the last 4 innings? Come on, answer a simple question. Prediction -you won’t.

    Kluber’s got no hit stuff tonight; might have to hope Cash overmanages (again). Didn’t the Rays no-hit the Sox over 9 innings earlier this year? Looks like it’s just you and me, and I have to bow out to grill some dinner, so I’ll watch the rest of the game on delay.

    In today’s game, Gibson couldn’t be Gibson.

    Sale not commanding the fastball all that well. This inning he’s not commanding much of anything.
  6. illinoisredsox
    0-2 homers? To me it depends on how the hit happened. Guy gets one on a pitch six inches outside or tomahawks a ball above the zone, not much a pitcher can do. Getting one on a middle middle fastball, bad.
  7. illinoisredsox
    The Rays are sitting on fastball; have they even offered at a slider? Edit - Choi finally did but with 2 strikes, he had to.
  8. illinoisredsox
    I know you can’t tell for sure on television, but Sale’s fastball looks straight; not a lot of movement.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Horrible D and a couple of well placed ground balls. He was hardly the issue that inning.

    Bello will be optioned out tomorrow when the Sox activate Sale. Kid needs to work on those secondary pitches big time. Dalbec would be sent down if they had a viable first base option, but with Casas out since sometime in May, they really don’t.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Even if Franchy doesn’t make that play, assuming identical outcomes the inning ends on the fly ball to Refsnyder. Dalbec’s miscue opened the door for all runs this inning and all are unearned.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Not shocking, though. Bello is not ready for prime time, and having to pitch against the same team twice in a row is often a challenge for a lot of seasoned pitchers, let alone a guy making his first 2 mlb starts.

    Valdez should be sitting in the dugout right now. Horrendous defensive inning.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Remember, options now mean option years. I’m pretty sure Valdez is in his 3rd and final option year, so for 2023, he’ll either have to stick with whatever major league club has him or he’ll have to be DFA’d. Up until this year, within a given option year, a player could be sent down any number of times during the year. Starting this year, that was limited to 5 times, but then they added something about that not taking affect until they went to the 26 man roster, which was late May IIRC. Confused? Understandable. I think Valdez has at least 3 more yo yos this year.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Left off JD, who is at 166 and 4.6 (which includes tonight's homer).
  16. illinoisredsox
    At least two. Somebody named Shaun Jeter had a forgettable brief cup of coffee with the White Sox in 1992 while Johnny Jeter played 6 mediocre seasons with several clubs in the early 70s.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Notice how quiet the booth has become? Perez is doing what he always does, solid work. Don’t recall hearing Cone at all that inning and Ravetch almost sounds sad.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Angel Hernandez does not suck. There is no adjective that can describe his ineptitude. The other thing is most umps are decent on the bases. Hernandez is absurdly horrible at all facets of umpiring (although I think he does a decent job of accepting the line-up cards before the game).
  19. illinoisredsox
    I wouldn’t say flash in the pan; he’s a 3 at best and probably a 4. Those type guys are capable of really good to great starts, but those streaks are short.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Cordero hit it real hard.
  21. illinoisredsox
    True, but Ravetch has been infinitely worse IMO. He’s been worse than Costas was Thursday night, and that’s saying something.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Ain’t going to matter if Pivetta doesn’t start pitching better.
  23. illinoisredsox
    He’s been pitching above his pay grade; shouldn’t be unexpected.
  24. illinoisredsox
    The ESPN fellating of all things Yankee has begun.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Pivetta not sharp. He’s a #3 at best, regression to the mean?
