  1. I wonder what they feed them down on the farm?
  2. Surprisingly, that article didn't mention the real 'elephant in the room,' the starting pitching, which more than any other factor makes the SOX damn lucky to be where they are.
  3. We won't finish the remaining 13 games against the Rays until after the trade deadline. Should be interesting what the standings will look like at that time.
  4. Sometimes, as I've said many times before, you have to tip your cap to the opposition's pitching. If we're gonna praise Pivetta's performance tonight, and rightly so, we've gotta recognize the other team's pitching performance.
  5. He threw a wild pitch; it happens. I'm not worried about Barnes. Now starting pitching? That I'm worried about. That's the elephant in the room.
  6. Before the Tampa series I posted that I would be very happy if the SOX went 3-3 against the Rays and Yankems. Now I would be ecstatic.
  7. There were a lot of 'killers' in this game.
  8. If he was automatic, wouldn't that make him a cyborg?
  9. And he leads the team in stolen bases.
  10. Great start wasted. Obviously, wasn't the SOX night. Rays are a well-balanced team and I certainly hope they don't obtain Scherzer.
  11. Before I forget. Pivetta's stuff tonight can be described by a word I've very seldom used for SOX starters. NASTY!
  12. More than likely. Base running is something else the SOX aren't dazzling at.
  13. Now that the Rays got a hit, the last time the SOX had a combined no-hitter was a game started by Babe Ruth. He walked the first batter and then got ejected. A pitcher named Shore came in and finished the no-hitter. This info courtesy of the Rays' announcer.
  14. Mausoleums don't usually have chairs.
  15. Nice play, VAZ. Chair and all.
  16. C'mon, MAX. You don't have to defend Cora all the time. He's not god; at least I don't think he is. Is there like a Cora Cult out there?
  17. Great point. I'm a firm believer that excessive weight room usage causes more injuries.
  18. True, it actually means 'babying.'
  19. My fault; I told Dugo to cut back on his weight room visits.
  20. Maybe modern players are.
  21. No. Coddling is treating the players as if they're made of porcelain.
  22. Maybe with your pitcher throwing a no-no, a manager might want to put a better defenseman at 1st base? Looks like Cora forgot Marwin's on the team.
