    Just for kicks, let’s get another nine here.
  2. IndianaTwin
    Let’s break it open and give him the 3-inning save.
  3. IndianaTwin
    Wonder if there has ever been 9-1-2 back to back to back in the first.
  4. IndianaTwin
    Let’s go, Byron. Pull a Harmon here and give us four straight.
  5. IndianaTwin
    Hope you didn’t.
  6. IndianaTwin
    This is kinda fun!

    He definitely wasn’t the beefy bean…
  8. IndianaTwin
    Busted.
  9. IndianaTwin
    I think he listened to the trainer.

    Rocco screws up again. Can’t even get a guy to end up on third. /s

    I’m glad to have the win, but that’s a perfect example of why that’s a bad rule.

    Cruddy decision compounded by cruddy slide.

    I know the obvious answer to the Gallo IL move is Julien, but I have this small sense they were waiting to see how tonight’s game went for Polanco, with the possibility of bringing him up.
  14. IndianaTwin
    Yeah, but he should be playing center.
  15. IndianaTwin
    Thank goodness he couldn’t hit a curve ball.

    According to the Sox guys, Lopez spoke four languages and was accepted to med school. At age 16. Both parents are doctors. When Pablo was considering his options after getting drafted, Dad said, “You’ve got your whole life to go to med school. Why don’t you give baseball a shot?”

    Fresh from my Facebook feed, in honor of the birthday girl:

    For this series, however, I’m amidst my dozen-times-a-year love fest with Jason Benetti and Steve Stone on Sox TV.

    I hope Bremer’s back soon, both for his sake and mine. I want Cory back on radio, since that’s where I get most of my games.

    Catching up via recording. Sure am glad they’ve Buxton DHing. Otherwise we wouldn’t have that Taylor homer. 😀

    "At this pace" he will play 129.6 games and pinch hit in another 16.2. For context, in his monster year, Nelson Cruz got $14MM to play in 120 games, and we loved it.

    Not to be lost is that the crappy lineup (with some help from the Sox defense) chased Cease after five and forced them to use their top three relievers, including their closer for 20 pitches and an up-down for the eighth and ninth. And Maeda, Thielbar and Moran bought Duran, et. al, another day’s rest. Those could be significant come Tuesday and Wednesday. I’ll take Lopez and Gray, with a rested bullpen, over Lynn, Giolito and a tired pen.

    When Buxton hit for Wallner, my first assumption was that we might indeed get an inning of Buxton on defense, with Taylor to left and Larnach to right. That they didn’t go that route tells us that they are NOT going to play Buxton on defense for a time, under any circumstance. So then, a straight substation for Taylor would have left them with an outfield defense that’s only about one step above the time they used the Turtle in center. Probably Larnach-Gordon-Wallner around the outfield and with some version of Miranda-Farmer-Castro-Solano around the infield. I wasn’t too worried about losing the DH. Even if you start from the time Buxton hit, that spot was 10th in the order. As it played out, it was sixth in the ninth, which either means bases loaded and two outs or that you’ve scored a run or that you’ve already won (or in this case, lost) it. And I assume they would have pinch hit Jeffers at that spot if it gets there. With the Manfred Man rules, there’s virtually no chance of getting to that spot a second time. I think that what they did and what you are suggesting are both pretty defensible. Bottom line is that they were in a game that they probably shouldn’t have been, given the lineup they had with Cease pitching. At that point, you’re pretty much rolling dice. Without three Sox errors, we’re not even having this discussion.

    It surprised me a bit too to see him hit for Wallner, but I have a feeling Wallner would have flailed against Bummer. Lefties have a career .487 OPS against Bummer.
  25. IndianaTwin
    Not to mention his incessant pulling of the starting pitcher. Oh wait, they're leading the league in innings per start right now.
