Marshall and Detweiler have turned it around pretty good without spending time in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) What is funny is Jerry Manuel was criticized for pulling Garland the first sign of trouble. Ozzie left him in and was given a ton of credit.(Garland was also a better pitcher then). Now managers are idiots for not pulling a guy the first sign of trouble. All in all a great series. Cease pitched really well, the Sox had their chances and it didn’t work out. Now destroy Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Gio versus a lefty followed up by Keuchel....we might not even need the pen till next Friday Pirates just swept Brewers as they remembered the season started. Polanco finally woke up.

Baker Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I’d like to think the Sox would have brought in Bummer to blow away Schwarber in the 6th. We miss him badly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 We all would have been pumped for 2 out of 3 vs the Cubs. Have to beat up on the Pirates now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 No matter the outcome of today's game... 1) They won 2/3 vs the Cubs and the 2 wins were lopsided. Furthermore, today's was winnable. They had a division winner and one of the better NL teams by the nuts for all but 3 out of 27 innings. 2) It's fun being pissed about a loss again. It's fun expecting a sweep. Let's go win 4 of the next 5, while we're at it. Cheers, Soxtalk. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Be smart and be safe. Health and wealth to you all 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire this idiot Sox record is way too good to fire RR. I'm glad I don't post in game threads hardly ever. I just read through this. I left after Yearnin' angered me about Jose. Yes Sox could have swept. Sox only scored one today after two great offensive nights. Stuff happens. I think the RR criticism about Cease could go either way. He threw a lot of pitches, yes, but at some point Sox and fans both will want him to extend a bit deeper in games. The way I see it is Sox bats deadened after two utterly remarkable outburst games. Sox didn't hit today. Hindsight being 20/20 it woulda been a good day to rest Robert. On the positive side ... Grandal had a good weekend and looks like an all star; Jose had a remarkabe weekend; Eloy was magnificent; Timmy was great. Lopez was good; Cease was pretty good; Giolito is maybe a true stud. Bullpen has been nice. Apologies for forgetting some. Sox played great in Wrigley. Two out of three is fine. If we meet them in the WS we won't want the season series to be a ridiculous 6-0 or something. That would hex the Sox. Try reverse psychology Ricky haters. Look at Sox record and assume his loose clubhouse is a reason for it and his ability to speak the language of so many of his players. Remember Ned Yost won a WS and he was generally regarded as a clown.

Yeah, chronic fatigue is a residual effect of Covid, so he might need more than just the random day off the rest of this season. He's not recovering like he used to. I hope that this isn't a permanent issue for him. Edited August 24, 2020 by Jack Parkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 As I said, it's more than possible he's playing with a sports hernia. Is what it is. Go get them Pirates, see what you can do to rest Yoan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read this and tell me how it's a reach: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-long-term-effects/art-20490351 Long lasting fatigue and blood vessel problems in the legs could be contributing to Moncada's legs issues. We know he had it, because he admitted to it. To completely rule out he's experiencing some minor side effects while going through the day-to-day rigors of a baseball season is narrow-minded. It's a very real possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
