    The guy pitching tonight is not a 2-10, 4.50 ERA guy. He’s had a 3 or 4 games similar to this this season, but this guy doesn’t show up very often. He has tonight.

    There isn't one thing in that post that bashes anyone. He made a statement. We get it, you don't like moon. Fine. This incessant need of yours to respond adversely to anything he posts is tiresome. Again, you have good things to add to this board, but this crap adds nothing.

    Believe it or not, by allowing only 2 runs that inning, DHern’s ERA over his last 4 appearances went down.
  4. illinoisredsox
    He’s not
  5. illinoisredsox
    Candidate?

    Darwinzon Hernandez in his last 3 appearances: 3 1/3 IP 11 H 14 R 13 ER 7 BB 3 K 5.40 WHIP 35.10 ERA

    Just remember, the Red Sox always do well the first 18 years of a century.

    Royals haven’t exactly ripped the ball this inning. The sac fly was the only thing close to a hard hit ball. Edit - the double was decently hit.
  9. illinoisredsox
    That would require 2 moves, since Valdez is no longer on the 40 man. I don’t get why Hernandez was even brought up; it’s not like he was pitching lights out or even that well in Worcester. Okay, he replaced Ort, so I sort of get it. But to me, he should be the long guy who comes in in the 3rd or 4th inning and the team well behind. If he holds the other team down snd gives the Sox a small chance, fine. If he doesn’t, he saves more accomplished arms. This situation cried out for Whitlock. Maybe Schreiber. Perhaps even Brasier, who at least is 50-50 on holding the other team.

    An awful lot of Yankee stench associated with DD.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Nah, just attempting a little (probably very little) levity. Plus, you have to admit, he's a pretty good hitting pitcher.
  12. illinoisredsox
    JBJ has a better ERA than Connor Seabold and Darwinizon Hernandez
  13. illinoisredsox
    Oh, that's probably not too far off, because the odds with any minor leaguer are pretty high. The fact that he is struggling a bit at AA might be a good thing. It will reveal a lot about his makeup.
  14. illinoisredsox
    I'll agree on game calling, not his strongpoint, and he never really improved at it, which is odd since Varitek had to be tutoring him the last couple years. Steals are usually off the pitcher. Not saying Vaz was great, but he was nailing 30% of the runners. Hardly a blank check. The Major League average is 25%. By comparison, Plawecki is at 8%. Bench, Rodriguez and Molina are not the norm.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Far too early to make that call, especially with Binelas. He just turned 22 and is in his first full year of professional baseball (drafted in June 2021); he's played about 120 minor league games spread over 4 levels in just over a year.

    JBJ as a 4th outfielder made some sense; pricey but I can see some logic there. The problem was they never had the 3rd OF, and once Kike went down, they were screwed. Now I assume they somehow thought Cordero had figured things out, but he turned out to be JBJ lite; slightly better as a hitter but just as streaky and far worse defensively (and that was just his OF defense). Bloom's error was in assuming players could move seamlessly from position like Tampa does. I'm guessing that Tampa has their guys playing everywhere in the minors so that they are able to move around. If you don't come up doing that, its a recipe for what we saw with Arroyo in the OF, Cordero at 1st, etc. I'll give credit to those players for saying, sure I'll try it, but it was a horrible plan.

    Is that where that asshat went? I met Heyman nearly 40 years ago; he lived in the apartment next to mine when he first started out as a sportswriter for the Moline Dispatch. He was an arrogant putz. I was pretty good friends with his boss and his boss agreed with my assessment.
  18. illinoisredsox
    He hasn't posted anything a while specifically designed to provoke you. You cannot make the same claim. And when you two were cluttering the board with your little pissing matches, I did call on both of you to stop. You sometimes have good stuff to add here; stick to doing that.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Why do you insist on trying to provoke reactions from him? Posts like this are specifically meant to do so. It won’t work. You do realize he no longer sees anything you post, right?
  20. illinoisredsox
    If good Pivetta shows up tomorrow, there’s momentum. If bad Pivetta shows up, today didn’t matter.
  21. illinoisredsox
    I think Eucker is only doing home games for the Brewers now, so that transition has already started. I’m going to guess Remy didn’t just show up the guy he became in the booth. And in either case, it could be tougher; how would you like to be the guy who replaced Vin Scully.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Cordero sent down; Refsnyder to the IL (knee sprain which might explain some of his inaction lately, but who can say for sure). Davis stays. Hosmer will join the club in KC on Thursday.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Probably had to make sure Pham got there.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Both are in their 1st full year of pro ball and both are in High A right now; we have no idea what they can be. Odds are they won't amount to much, but that's true of most prospects. I live in an area with a Class A team; one of the things I like to do at low level minor league games I attend is to figure out the one or two guys on each team who will someday get a cup of coffee in the majors. Not be a star, just get there for a brief time. That's the odds.

    Boom. In hockey, that would be a game misconduct. Basketball, a double technical.
