  1. To be exact, a quality start has to be at least 6 innings, but it was a very good 5 inning start.
  2. Saturday's games against Tampa will be a day/night double header. Just referring to it as a DH is misleading, because us old timers remember that real double headers were two games for the price of one ticket. Being specific is important.
  3. OB is certainly obsessed with length of games. Here's an idea; make all games 7 innings. Here's a better idea, make the games so short that before one finds his/her seat at the park, the game is over.
  4. Going into the 2nd 3rd of the season, really only 3 teams in MLB have W/L records worth writing home about. Rays' record is worth writing home twice.
  5. Weaver(RH) vs Paxton(LH) Most of the SOX batters have already faced Weaver. Only one Reds' player has already faced Paxton. Go SOX!
  6. This relates to 4 innings being insufficient.
  7. There's only one true response to Cora's remark. "Duh."
  8. Well, by the time the evidence is collected, even though we all saw it, and a grand jury is called in, it will still take a year for an indictment.
  9. They went down fighting.
  10. Reds forced to bring in their closer. I was gonna say there's no clock in baseball, when there's actually a ton of them. But, a team still has to get the last out.
  11. When enough people continue to exalt how great a manager Cora is, one tends to believe it, even when one's eyes tell a different story.
  12. It's definitely an addiction.
  13. Bob Marley shot him, but he didn't shoot no deputy.
  14. If one can accept the fact this team isn't going to the PO's, but may still finish over .500, losses won't drive one so crazy.
  15. Lively has made the SOX bats lifeless.
  16. Might help explain why Buchholz was the last good SOX starter to come thru the SOX farm.
  17. No one on the SOX has ever faced Lively. OTOH, most of the Reds have faced Bello.
  18. Is this the game where Devers becomes Devers again? Stay tuned.
  19. Devers' OPS didn't drop from way over .900 to under .800 in just a week.
  20. Just finished watching this game which I recorded earlier. Two evenly matched teams. By evenly matched I mean neither team should make the PO's and both teams will probably finish a few games over .500. Btw, the Devers' Show is getting tiresome, but it has been renewed for 10 more seasons.
  21. Excellent pitching by all involved.
  22. I can only judge a player's ability by what I see with my eyes. These WAR numbers established by nerds who never played the game mean nothing to me.
