Nola of the Phillies has just struck out the 1st 9 Mets' batters. He broke the Phillies' record of 7 and is one strike out away from tying Seaver's major league record of 10.
I'd love to see the SOX put #15 on the facade sooner rather than later. For years I've questioned why #24 wasn't retired. Doesn't make any sense. The criteria at one point was that the player had to have been inducted into the HOF and finished his career in Boston. Obviously, that's no longer valid.
Pedey was one of the best who ever wore a SOX uniform and no one played the game harder or better.
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.
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.
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.
