PUFF! I like it! It reminds me of the NFL's Physically Unable to Play List, or PUP list.
-
Meh. It would probably fall on deaf ears anyway.

Speaking of football injuries and concussions in particular... I'm now hearing that a couple of high schools in New Jersey have installed concussion sensors in each player's helmet that will relay information to someone on the sidelines with a laptop. When a player's total concussion "number" reaches a certain predetermined point that player comes out of the game and isn't allowed to come back in. It's expensive as all Hell and still in the Beta stage, but at least technology is moving in that direction.

I really want to send this Baltimore team back home with their tails between their legs. Machado's cheap shot on Pedey is what's moved him to the DL now. I hope someone sticks a ball so f***ing far into that guy's ear that it takes 6 guys with lanterns on their heads to find it and a crane to pull it out. Figuratively speaking, of course. Not that I hold a grudge, or anything.

You truly are a man after my own heart. First of all, both the Principal's Assn in this state and American Legion baseball established pitch limits for pitchers starting in 2017 in an effort to curb pitching injuries. IMO the PA took action after a player threw 162 pitches in a State Championship game four days after throwing 136 pitches in the District Championship game. It was a change that needed to be made. But to your point in your post here, I'm seeing more and more research being done about the affects of a player focusing on one sport rather than playing a different sport each season and there's pretty compelling evidence that those who focus on one sport have a higher injury incidence than those who diversify more.

I like what I'm seeing from Fister - usually. I'm trying to keep my expectations for him in check. After all, when we picked him up most of us saw him as a #5 dumpster dive guy and instead he's had some dominant outings. I saw him as being a placeholder, consistently giving up 4-5 runs a game before running out of gas and hoping the hitting could keep us in it. While his bad outings have been disappointing, at the same time they weren't a lot worse than what I was expecting from him, while in his (unexpected) good outings he's been outstanding. On the whole he's exceeding my expectations.

My best guess is that Farrell is holding him back knowing that he's never thrown 200 innings in a season in his life. I'd rather see him consistently pulled at the 100 mark than have him develop a 'dead arm' late in September. Also, I was thinking about the 'toughness factor' recently and if there's one thing I'm feeling the best about it's that this team believes that they're tough - that they never give up or give in. That's exactly the attitude a team needs in the playoffs. It's taken a while but I'm liking this team now. More so since Devers and Numez have shown up. They seem to have put the chip on the shoulder of the Sox going into the late season.

Working in the booth isn't as easy as it seems for these fill-ins. Think of yourself in your first couple of days in that job, knowing that millions of people are listening to every word you say and comparing you to someone like Eck. It takes a few days for them to 'find their stride'. I thought Gomes struggled at first but he's now grown on me to the point where.. he's not going to replace Eck, but I'm liking him just fine. -
Yep. Either is a possibility. That's why I was wondering if they'd spoken to him.
-
It seems like we should have at least picked up a game on the Y's in exchange for this big win, but oh, well. Pom has been pitching well, but the Sox were facing a guy tonight who is Sale-esque. And yet the Sox won. It's a funny game.
-
That's fair. And I'll continue to do the same thing,
-
I think that's kinda my point. If they told him not to give up and that he still fits in their plans it may have motivated him tonight.
-
Don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. It might rain tomorrow.
-
Gotta be frustrating for Brentz. I have to wonder if they talk to him at all about why things like this are happening.
-
Which Gomes is this you're taking about? The catcher or the broadcaster? The catcher is helping us!
-
I'm not sure Hanley is the guy I want up in this situation. Now make me eat those words, Hanley!
-
No.. it's just that what was working was working. I'm usually suspect about bringing in an unknown quantity.
-
Christ. Now what? Is Farrell going to keep changing pitchers until he finds one who can't do the job?
-
with a one run lead. Gulp Gulp
-
Now we have to patch together the 7th & the 8th to get to Kimbrel in the 9th. Guip
-
Well, we don't know what Pom would have done but it couldn't have been any better.
-
OB: "The explanation for this will be fascinating!" LOL I guess we know how OB feels about this pitching change.
-
Pitching change? I'm not sure I'd be doing that. If this doesn't work out Moon will be ballistic tomorrow! LOL
-
Nothing is for sure, but I'd rather be in the Sox' place than Cleveland's right now.
-
I've gotta think that DD wanted the veteran presence there for the stretch run. There's no substitute for having "been there".
