    POM doesn't need Tommy John surgery; he needs Steve Austin surgery.

    Nice hanger by POM. Live by the curve, die by the hanger.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'd take this kid pitching tonight. He's got some nasty stuff.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    There's no shift with JD, because he knows how to hit to all fields. It's not the shift that's the elephant in the room; it's the batters not being able to adjust.

    During Wilt's dominance in the NBA, the powers that be banned the dunk. The ban only lasted a year.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    This pitcher on the O's may be the only future bright spot on the team.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If I was batting against POM, I would move up towards the front of the batter's box.

    Thorne said that Davis is 3-33 against the SOX this year. I believe Davis is 3-33 against everybody this year.

    Nice play by Devers. Btw, the word adventures has Devers name in it.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    POM's velocity hasn't improved, but the revs on his curveball certainly have.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Jim Dandy!

    Well, there's the human factor to consider. Betts is a great player, but he's not a machine. And sometimes, just sometimes, you have to give the opposing pitchers some credit.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Spud, Mookie is batting .350; his OBP is .437; his slugging percentage is .663, and his OBS is 1.100. Those are splendid numbers. Let me rephrase that; those are Splendid Splinter numbers.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Well, his name does have 'DREW' in it.

    Well said. A major factor in the SOX success so far this season is the defensive prowess of their OF. With JBJ, Betts, and Beni, I wouldn't hesitate to state that it's the best defensive OF in baseball. That being said about the importance of defense, the SOX have played most, almost all, this season w/o the best defensive 2nd baseman in baseball. As fabulous as the SOX won/lost record is, how many more wins would the SOX have had if they had had Pedey's glove and bat in the line-up most of the season? Oh, well, I guess will never know.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Beni has the closest to a perfect swing as anyone in baseball. I wouldn't be surprised if he's had that swing since little league.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Do you ever get bored being perfect?
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree. Devers has been striking out a lot and he doesn't come close to the defense JBJ provides. If one has to be concerned, be concerned about Devers.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    POM couldn't have hand-chosen a better club to re-start his season. It's quite possible POM faced tougher line-ups in Triple-A. Anyway, let's all hope for the best and if things don't start well for POM, then maybe the rain will bail the SOX out.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I don't know. I've read somewhere that POM pitches some of his best games during flood warnings..

    Imho, the 4 positions the SOX are the weakest are 2nd base, 3rd base, a fifth starter, and a 7th or 8th inning reliever. I think that 2nd base can be improved by using Lin and Holt. I believe 3rd base can be improved by platooning Devers and Nunez. So, the 2 things that may not be improved in house are the reliever and a 5th starter. Wright appears to be a long way from returning and POM, enough said. I'm hoping DD has the resources to obtain both. If he can only trade for one, he'll probably go after a 5th starter. Ive heard Frier of the Tigers is on DD's radar. It's possible Brasier and/or Thornburg may provide that bridge reliever. I just don't trust Kelly as part of the bridge to Kimbrel. I'm hoping that Johnson can hold down E-rod's spot until he returns. If DD can't accomplish any of the above, the SOX will still beat the bad teams. However, there's still a lot of games against good teams left to play. And that's before the SOX even get to the playoffs. As has been posted many times, finishing 1st in the division is crucial.

    The Yankems are 10-10 against the O'S and the Rays. The SOX are 19-5. The Yankems are 5-4 against the SOX. There's the 6 game lead the SOX enjoy.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I just saw that lack of hustle by Sanchez. Because in today's game there appears to be no punishment for that behavior, it will continue. I only wish Sanchez had done that when Billy Martin was the manager. Martin would have been all over him like a fly on s***. And guaranteed he wouldn't be playing in the next few games. Boone: "Please don't do that again." Sanchez (thru an interpreter): "Get out of my face."
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    As a SOX fan I'm definitely glad that we play the O's 18 times. I only wish the SOX could play the White Sox and the Royals 18 times.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    So because of Devers, the SOX are deprived a run, Betts loses an RBI, and the SOX lose an at bat by Beni. But other than that, no big deal. Thank goodness he can hit and field. Er, what's that? Nevermind.
