Archie Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 If they are going to continue with interleague play they shouldn't be doing it at the end of the season. The Red Sox are the latest victims of having to play important games in a NL park with the pitcher having to hit. When a series is determining a playoff spot I don't think its right to do since AL teams are at a big disadvantage with pitchers batting. The Tigers were in the same position in Atlanta a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petry, AJax, McClendon, whoever. I enjoy Petry in the booth. I don’t know that he would have any interest in the job full time. If that opportunity arose, I would hope he would take it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) dang, I don't know how fast Cameron is, but the Sox couldn't even make it close on a pitch-out? wild. Edited October 3, 2021 by Crazy Cat Gentleman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I wonder how many of the guys on the roster for today’s game will be gone when the season opens next spring. I know the roster’s been expanded but I am expecting a number of guys to be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoBert Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I could normally care less about what happens in the off-season. It’s not like that this year. Also a win today would be meaningless but it sure would feel good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Baddoo took a leg to the head as he slid into second on a steal. worried me for a second, as it happened while his helmet was coming off (thought he might have taken one directly to the head), and he didn't get up right away. one concussion is enough, and he's already had his.

Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Paredes hit that one on the screws and fair, still no luck. just a fly-out/line-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Paredes's out at least advanced Baddoo to 3rd, and Harold SFed him in. 2-1 Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Alexander is only 26 - for some reason I thought he was older already. So with he and Skubal you have a hard throwing lefty and soft tossing lefty. Manning adds a hard throwing righty and Mize is basically a control guy. According to the modern theories, that's 4/5 of a rotation with the variety that should make it tough for the opposition.

Alex Avila, playing in his last game ever, has just singled home two runs to put Boston in a 5-1 hole.

Sure- but I think everyone stays the same age for the whole season in the BR system so he is listed as 26 for the '21 season. I had thought he was more like 30. In any case, he's also finished the season really well. His splits against RHP used to be so poor I had at one point labeled him as a LOOGY in a game where LOOGY's were obsolete, but between the cutter and his perseverance he's turned himself into a viable starting option.

gehringer_2 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Great outing by Alexander. It takes Hutch 7 pitches to give up the lead. Well, we knew when Cisnero and Soto when down that the BP was going to be too short to keep up what they had been doing from Mid May to September.

Archie Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Whenever I see the retro White Sox uniforms I picture Chris Sale cutting his up before a game. I can't image a player cutting up his uniform before a game because he doesn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) and that was Tim Anderson running. very lucky they didn't lose him. watching the Tigers biff up a rundown chaps my ass even worse than the bullpen, I think.
