  1. I believe Buchholz was the last good starter to be developed in the SOX farm system. I doubt any other team in MLB has a worse track record in developing pitching.
  2. Fun fact: In each of Hill's last 76 starts he hasn't given up more than 3 runs. WOW!
  3. Speaking of Dick Mountain, I had a friend in high school named Richard Liss. His parents just weren't paying attention enough when they named him.
  4. It's a shame the SOX don't play 18 games against these Rangers.
  5. If Devers isn't extended I'll be really pizzed. Even more so than losing Betts and Bogey.
  6. JBJ proves my point. If you can't hit a lick, at least be a good bunter.
  7. "This time you gave me a Mountain; a Mountain I could never climb. It isn't a Hill any longer; you gave me a Mountain this time." Apologies to Marty Robbins.
  8. Woe is me; the BRUINS lost today to a better team, but they did take 'em to 7. Now I have to pin all my hopes on the SOX. Woe is me.
  9. Hill (0-1) vs Otto (1-0) Pivetta resting the BP last night may pay big dividends today. Go SOX!
  10. If any player did all 5, he would have to be a pinch runner first, so, like you said, I seriously doubt it's ever been done.
  11. Bingo. The one most don't get is pinch runner. That's why when the question is posed, you must use the word 'player' and not 'batter.'
  12. Nope, that would require hitting the ball.
  13. Wow, your questions are getting much tougher. I have no idea. But I do know that a player can reach 1st base 5 different ways w/o hitting the ball.
  14. WW. Yup. Employed all my brain cells, MOON, but I did it. OK, now what did I win?
  15. If this lack of offense throughout the league continues for the season, MLB may, instead of just lowering the mound again, have the pitchers throwing out of a ditch starting next season.
  16. Btw, the only other way a player can get on 1st base is as a pinch runner.
  17. Except for an error, a passed 3rd strike and catcher's interference, Kike has done everything else to reach 1st base tonight.
  18. It appears I will have that rare opportunity of starting a 2nd straight game thread tomorrow.
  19. Excellent performance by the Pivetta tonight.
  20. Hopefully, the BRUINS can score 7 goals tomorrow afternoon.
  21. Richards and Strahm must share the same hairdresser.
  22. But the SOX have scored 7 runs tonight. Keeping those 7's alive.
  23. With the price of gas I can see why he turned it down.
