    The Sox stored 66 runs in Sale’s 7 starts, and he has a ERA of around 7 in the two games against TB, so I don’t think they are where they are so much, because of Sale, and he gets to pitch anther game against the minor league O’S.
  2. Old Red
    I’m very well aware what Sale is coming off, but if he is ready to pitch he’s ready to pitch, and I’m not going to nitpick on who he pitches against like the Sox have. I’m also not counting on Sale to lead them to, or through the playoffs. If it’s the Yankees then EO gets the ball.
  3. Old Red
    I wouldn’t take a pitcher out like Cora has with Houck more than once even though he was pitching good just, because I’m afraid of what might happen. Nonsense to me.
  4. Old Red
    Well said, and if it was me I’d make a starter go 6 to classify as a win. The Red Sox announcers make it sound like a big deal when Sale pitches, and calls it a Sale day. Has he gone 6 this year? It’s just ridiculous that a starter can’t throw 100 pitches, or get into the 7th anymore.

    Can we at least get everyone playing by the same rules? It’s been been about 50 years with the DH, but only for one league. It just doesn’t make sense for all these years to have different rules. I don’t care which way it goes, but just make it that everyone plays the same. Having said that the best way is for everyone to play the same schedule, and the teams with the best record however many teams you want goes to the playoffs. To get more teams involved you go to all these divisions, and keeps adding teams. It depends on how watered down you want to make things.

    Excellent post. The quality of play is nothing compared to the 60’s, and 70’s. Maury Wills would have no place in today’s game, and like you said not enough good players to go around to fill all the teams. Just look at all the talent in the Sox bullpen, or lack of. Baltimore has been nothing more than a minor league team for years that hopefully the Sox can beat up on this week again.

    I’ll say the season has been surprising, but there has been some real bad baseball that was played this season. Bad pitching, bad defense, and bad base running, which was topped off last night by two teams that looked like little leaguers at times who couldn’t catch the ball, or knew how to run the bases. Lke I said earlier at this point I could care less if the Sox get on the plane to Baltimore.

    I’m a Sox fan to for over 60 years, but Sale is only a 5 inn pitcher at best, and EO would be a better choice, but I would favor Cole in any matchup against the Sox. Like I keep saying head to head the Yankees have the Sox number right now.
  9. Old Red
    I don’t care what the Sox, or the Yankees have done in their last 28. I only care what they do head to head. If they play a 1 game that is what will happen head to head.
  10. Old Red
    Like I asked in a 1 game would you want Cole against the Sox, , or Sale, or EO against the Yankees on how things are going now. I’ll take Cole against the Sox. Don’t care what they did in Apr, May, and June.
  11. Old Red
    Either way I’d take him in my outfield any day.
  12. Old Red
    You are nit picking the 10-9 against the Yankees. I look at 3-9 in the last 12.
  13. Old Red
    Bottom line if the Sox, and Yankees square off in a 1 game would you rather have Cole going against the Sox hitters, or Sale, or EO who can’t go 6 against the Yankees no matter where they play. That is what you got to look forward to.
  14. Old Red
    I believe the Yankees are 9-3 against the Sox in the last 12. That says it all.
  15. Old Red
    Head to head the Yankees are just a better team now than the Sox.
  16. Old Red
    We have Barnes who can blow it, and the Yankees have Chapman who can do the same. One last chance.
  17. Old Red
    Perfect night for Bobby D. 4 K’s, and a missed popup.
  18. Old Red
    I keep saying that Baltimore, and Washington are no locks for wins especially finishing in a NL park.
  19. Old Red
    Like I’ve said all weekend that Stanton is a lot different hitter now than he was last time in Boston.
  20. Old Red
    Don’t even get on the plane to Baltimore, and give it away like you did this weekend.
  21. Old Red
    The Yankees gave them the game, and the Sox just gave it back. Little League all the way around.
  22. Old Red
    Looks like a little league game.
  23. Old Red
    If he slides at second he’s safe. Another gimme.
  24. Old Red
    The Yankees are doing everything they can to give them this game.
  25. Old Red
    Did not like Fred Flintstone Schwaber batting for Renfroe.
