I'm sure he didn't think it was a great idea. All they got him for was to fill a certain role until more guys were ready. But you know that already.

Let me rephrase that: they gave up a kid that could become something, even if a longshot. If they gave up someone like Gillaspie or Engel I wouldn't complain. Nova was a salary dump and they gave up some kid in the DSL for him. Idk, maybe I'm overreacting to Tatis but if so, whatever.

greg775 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Just looked at the Game One box score. Time 3 hrs, 48 minutes ... man that's too long for a 5-4 game. Assuming it was a dreadful game with all those relief pitchers for both teams and also the Sox blowing a healthy lead and getting a lousy start apparently from Rodon. Losing both games would be lousy. Please win Game Two, Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Fathom can probably tell me. I just tuned in and that last at bat ... it looked like Nova was just flipping meatballs in there and the guy still struck out. Is his velocity as poor as my eyes suggest? I'm no expert so I will defer, but geez those looked like meatballs that a lousy O's hitter couldn't hit. Strike 3. Tie game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn was fairly sure he'd stay healthy and have a 4-5 ERA when all was said and done based on his track record. It's not like he was looking for a stud.

It was $9 million wasted. Just like the $4 million for Jon Jay. Edited May 2, 2019 by Harper2Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I have a question for PTATC or whoever was a pitcher. A blister to me, seems like an awful problem. I used to get blisters playing tennis and put a bandage on there and that saved me. Of course baseball won't allow pitchers to wear bandaids as they would probably help them get the ball to do wacky things. But what does a pitcher do with a blister problem? Is this something that can be avoided in the future?? I guess I'll google on blisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
