greg775 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Winning with four hits is pretty interesting. All the prime trade guys had big games to please the trade-niks (people who love trades; not meant as a slam; you have a right to love trades). Robert resembling a phenom; Fedde resembling a Freddy (Garcia in a good year); Kopech looking like Goose Gossage in his ultra prime. Only Leasure with the pedestrian line, Minnesota isn't that good, folks. Kind of embarrassing the Twins have dominated the Sox in the season series many years.

The Twins could lose every single game for the rest of this season, and the Sox would not pass them if they kept winning at the same pace they have played at so far this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember the Twins were blah before taking 4 from the Sox and having the Sox help turn their season around. The Sox make a lot of mediocre teams well.

Lip Man 1 Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 It may have happened before but this is the only other time I know of that a Sox pitcher threw an immaculate inning: August 22, 1923 - In a game at Comiskey Park, Sox pitcher Hollis “Sloppy” Thurston struck out the side on only nine pitches versus the Philadelphia Athletics. It came in the 12th inning. He retired the A’s Frank “Beauty” McGowan, Clarence “Chick” Galloway and Sam Hale. Thurston however, who came on in relief starting in the 11th inning, got the loss in the game, 3-2 which went 13 innings. Striking out three hitters on only nine pitches is called an “Immaculate Inning.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Michael Kopech, who blew save Sunday in Miami, said he’s been hesitant to lean into Sox’ game plan for him, which has involved throwing more breaking balls. He leaned into it today, and it produced an immaculate inning. “You could definitely say I needed that.” — Vinnie Duber (@VinnieDuber) July 10, 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean piping non-stop fastballs that are either way high and outside or are right over the cock of the plate isn’t a good pitching strategy against major league hitters?

It's just wild to me. Why would he think their advice would be bad? It'd be one thing if he was getting results, but it would still be weird to not listen to Katz and Bannister who are highly regarded. What a geek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that he doesn’t have as much confidence in his breaking balls as he does in his fastball, but the guy routinely overthrows his fastball anyways or grooves one right down the middle of the plate. May as well try to mix it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 As expected... Lefty Jake Eder, who did not pitch as the 27th man today, sent to Triple-A Charlotte after the game. He was called up from Double-A Birmingham. — Daryl Van Schouwen (@CST_soxvan) July 11, 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
