    “It’s so frustrating…” Sox, Anderson work to overcome rash of injuries, and Jimenez back for O’s?

    PTAC deals with injured people all the time.  I have as well.  As a guy trying to deal with a bad back I get it.  Sometimes no matter what you do it acts up and it is frustrating.  Sometimes you also know it is on you.  Backs are one reason I remain scared of Vaughn having issues.  If all it took was running in the outfield over a couple months to have it go, he very well may have issues down the road, or as he ages, or at any f'ing time.

    Ghost Runner Rule

    You know another aspect of the this BS extra innings rule is if the fact when the runner on second scores to win the game, even it's it not by an error, the scoring run is an earned run charged to that pitcher. The pitcher didn't even put the runner on. Why should he take a loss and receive an earned run to his record? In a normal 9 inning game if a reliever comes in with a man on second he inherited, and allows the winning run in the bottom of the 9th, he does not receive the credit for the earned run.  

    To your point I do agree walking the first batter makes sense. Of course it is risky for the Sox vs the good fielding teams because our infield defense right now sucks!

    I am 95% sure that the ghost runner scoring is always charged as an unearned run to the pitcher starting the inning.

    I agree with the premise in your post and some of the responses.  I think your ability to walk the first batter to set up the double play is dependent on your confidence the pitcher will throw strikes and or get a ground ball (while not allowing a passed ball).  Also if the opposition has first and second with no outs, are they more likely to bunt which brings your confidence in your defense making the play and or not throwing balls into the outfield/catching them etc etc.  Baseball can be great because while it seems simple it can be as complex as you want.

    Pitching is weird.  In the past, it was the one thing the Sox seemed to develop.  I think we got behind with the overall shift to analytics/video based vs "old time" eyes.  On the other hand, Coop did fix some.  Seems the verdict is out on Katz and the new approach.  Is it as simple as we used to draft college arms which required less development and during rebuild we kind of shifted to position players and some high school arms (longer development and higher injury/bust rate)?

    If MLB expands, is Charlotte towards the top of the list for a new team?

    There has been talk that way.  Think Nashville and maybe Montreal also have been mentioned.

    No games in minors 4/3 so will start this early.  Still AAA.  Looks like A, A+, AA start playing Thurs 4/6.  Depending on the assignments, I may have to check out Bham this year.  Think they could have a interesting group.  Looking at the rosters, I think they haven't been updated since Kath is still listed on AA.  Think that is from project Birmingham last year.

    Think Jirschele has a bright future.  Saw Remillard 4-4.  Looked and saw he is 29.   Never played in majors.  May not fit with us but can't help but hope he gets up for someone/us sometime.  That close to your dream after that long........  Maybe we have division wrapped up early and he can come up Sept.
