  1. pretty stressful day, but get back home to find a genuine laugher by the Sox with many of the struggling guys getting multiple hits/rbis, plus a good game by ERod. All is well on a Saturday night. Thank you, Red Sox
  2. Excellent recovery by the overall team in general, and more specifically Chris Sale who finally gets his win. Now for many more.
  3. Brewer has trouble with throwing strikes and I doubt we see him in any leverage situations until he can show he is capable of a shutdown inning.
  4. Just back in time for the Red Sox win. 90 mile trip to LA and then back. Total drive time combined , about 8 hours. LA is the definition of shithole, third world mess.
  5. Your first sentence pretty much covers one of the positives from the 2019 season, which is turning itself around a game at a time.
  6. You're right. Some Talksoxers would have 300% roster turnover per season, but the guys who survive would really be great.
  7. All of the above notes were written before Thornburg's atrocious outing in last night's 9th inning. He really has problems that are not resolved . Cora is giving him plenty of rope to hang himself and TT is is becoming a knot master at it.
  8. Thornburg's ineptitude forces Barnes to spend another fast warm up session unnecessarity. What a shitbird.
  9. 31 games played, almost 20% of the season and the starters still have 3 combined victories. Walden is the A-S candidate with 4 W's ( if TT finishes)
  10. Thornburg may be getting the IL ride soon if he can't do something about his crap throwing
  11. looks like Thornburg is the new closer, errr, holder. See if he can complete a 1-2-3 inning, just once on about 14 pitches.Forget it, Chapman tags his first pitch for a double.
  12. Chapman robs 3 kids of a possible foul ball souvenir. The kids should have bit his arm or dumped cotton candy on his face
  13. Note to JBJr and others. Be like Christian V. Hit the first strike you see very hard and watch it go far away. Great swing by Vaz on a really Dull pitcher
  14. Pearce has made himself highly expendable ( and expensive, not his fault) . He could be very vulnerable once one of the numerous IL 2Bmen do return, or if Lin picks it up by default. One thing to note about Chavis at first is that Moreland vs RH'ers would get the most reps , delaying MC's development . But history tells us MM would be unlikely to play a full season injury free.
  15. Why did you name your boy Tzu instead of Sue /
  16. It won't last for long but for all the trashing and sweeping of the A's this week, their record is 14-18, about to be 14-19. The Sox are at 13-17, about to be 14-17, putting the A's in the rear view mirror for the next 5 months. With this win we will be on our way to .500, then much better , with the White Sox (12-14) for 4 and Orioles(10-20) for 3 coming up on the road.
  17. You may well be right and he is just slumping . In that case trade or DFA him now while he has some residual value ( joke, sarcasm, lol). He will be back, so to speak.
  18. I am telling all concerned that is not the same JDM swinging the bat that we are used too. He may not be complaining but I would bet it all the back is not 100%, or he has let the injury get in his head momentarily.
  19. I think after the initial series in Oakland, many of us would have traded JBJr for Laureano, yet in this series he has been a dog. Beni's short fly was the CF's ball similar to Bradley and Betts confusion several games ago. Oakland really is awful on defense.
  20. Lin cements his future with a leg hit and rbi. Very nice to see the lower end contributing. Now for Beni the bunter to slam one.
  21. Actually a good day at bat for JBJr, working the 3-2 walk and getting a line drive hit, and a hard shot at the fielder
  22. We seem to have missed thanking Marcus Walden for 3 innings of 1 hit ball on 31 pitches, followed by Workman getting his inning with only 12 pitches, indicating command and control by both pitchers. Actually a pretty good bullpen game today
  23. Tyler D and Thunder check post #15 way back early in this thread and tell me what you think of MLB's new idea.
