    Trivia question: Who was the first major leaguer to wear a batting helmet?
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    And JBJ did get a hit.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Speaking of close shaves, for a long time hockey goalies didn't wear a mask. Now that was crazy.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, Gentleman Jim Lonborg didn't mind giving the batters a close shave.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Also, the batters didn't wear elbow pads during those two pitcher's time. Yup, the game has definitely changed after the end of one year contracts.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Watching those close shave inside fastballs brings back memories of Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale. Two great pitchers who would find it difficult to pitch under today's rules.

    In most cases when a robot replaces a person at the work place, it's to make more profits for the company. In the case of HP umpires, a robot replaces them because the umps are terrible at their job. Btw, you know the umps are gonna hate the use of a robotic balls and strikes, but F them.

    Sorry OB and ECK, but, imho, pitching 6 innings, although it was a very good effort, doesn't qualify as outstanding.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Only a Dyson sucks more.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Right now Cody Bellinger leads in just about every offensive statistic in MLB, including hard hit balls. He has 41.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Nice job and a quality start for E-rod.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    JD is tied for 3rd in hard hit balls in MLB. He has 38. Hard hit balls are defined as 95+mph.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    My bad. It was Carol Hardy.Sorry. But in defense of Mr Geiger, he wasn't that bad a ballplayer.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'm kidding about JBJ; he'll wind up @ .200 at season's end.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX hitters whose batting average now is near where it will be at the end of the season are Beni, Moreland, JD, Devers, JBJ, Bogey, and VAZ.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    JD continues to bat with no one on base.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    A crooked number; not the biggest crooked number, but a crooked number none the less.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    There's a 4 word phrase I've always liked that suits this team perfectly; AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Here's a question: In what inning does e-rod reach the magic 100 pitch count?
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I meant the recent past; 2018. Btw, Gary Geiger pinched hit for both YAZ and TED WILLIAMS.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Actually, the excitement starts tomorrow night with the BRUINS. Go Bruins!
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Is this the game where JBJ gets a hit? Are you excited now?
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It's said one shouldn't live in the past, but if you're a SOX fan, that's where you should be living. The present SOX team is pathetic and shows no signs of getting better. The BRUINS will, at least, give me something worth watching for a while. SOX highlight of the day was Chavis's 441 foot HR. Hope he continues to play everyday, and, hopefully, the SOX FO will start to unload the dead weight on this team, starting with the offensively challenged CF.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Since when is pitching 5 innings by the team's Ace not a problem. If the SOX get 5 innings from VAL tonight, that's a different story.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I definitely enjoyed last year. Btw, seeing how there's a Yankem fan on this thread, I'll ask him the same question I'd asked SOX fans. If the Yankems were guaranteed a WS win this year, but they would finish in last the following year, would you take that?
