  1. McClanahan has made some mistakes too; his stuff is good enough to get away with them more often than Whitlock can. He’s a perennial Cy Young candidate; Whitlock is not and probably never will be. Garrett’s value is as a reliever. He’s a #4-5 starter.
  2. 30 straight scoreless innings by the Rays staff.
  3. The plus is McClanahan is over 60 pitches through 3. The negative is it’s no great thing seeing their own.
  4. Rays have tossed 3 straight shutouts and are now at 29 consecutive scoreless innings. I don’t care if you’re pitching against the 62 Mets or the 88 Orioles, that’s impressive.
  5. Two soft contact hits yields a run. When a team is going right … Does Kike get that?
  6. You don’t get too many shots at a guy like McClanahan; you can’t squander them.
  7. Remember when the Astros threw north of 50 straight fastballs at him a few years ago?
  8. Rays have allowed 18 runs all year. I don’t care who you are pitching against; that is impressive.
  9. 1) You are making the assumption that both would have developed the same way with the Sox. What about any recent Sox pitcher would indicate that would have happened? 2) Beeks was traded for Eovaldi in 2018; you really want to say he was given away?
  10. Righty bat for one thing. They’re already lefty heavy.
  11. Possibly they need swelling to go down to see what the actual injury is. Maybe an MRI is required. Might want multiple opinions. This is where Jackson should weigh in.
  12. Have to remember the philosophy of some here. Must win every inning.
  13. Radio guys ripping on the defense this inning. They have criticized Casas for his decision, Raffy for not cutting the ball off and Wong for not even bothering to go get the throw. Also are still questioning removing Kluber.
  14. It’s not only who you’re playing but when you play them. Even bad teams have a couple weeks a year where everything goes their way.
  15. Bad luck for Schreiber aside, why take out Kluber? 3 hits, a walk and 1 run (a Pesky Pole shot to boot) through 5 on only 67 pitches. Makes no sense.
  16. Gee, they’re falling off of .368? What a shock. You do know Ted Williams hit .340ish for his career, right? And that none of the fearsome foursome is ever going to confused with Teddy Ballgame?
  17. Why the heck wasn’t Tapia going at some point. Sox don’t have a lot of speed, but he’s one of the few who does.
  18. The batter could ask for it. Now they get one per AB.
  19. Pretty sure it’s a safety thing; I get it.
  20. Ort did fine for one inning, too.
  21. Too early to make that call; early returns are not promising but not enough key precincts are reporting.
  22. Hey, at least he didn’t appear afraid to throw strikes.
  23. The one who generally shows up in game threads when the Sox are losing. His insight on medical issues is useful and interesting; his game thread contributions are not.
  24. I’d send Brasier out there again next inning.
  25. Hey, honey, look what the cat dragged in.
