Out of the box thinking. You dont see many championing a Nishida callup. I like it. Just not sure how good a defender he is . Enlighten me ?

Why ? Acuna isn't good . I wasnt arguing for Acuna with you but thats what you turned it into because your argument about how you wouldve constructed the lineup without him when Vargas was hurt for a day was weak. Typical deflection behavior playing the victim. Poor baby.

Youre no spry chicken yourself although you pretend to be. Youve been on Soxtalk longer than me. 25 years likely.

Maybr Shane Murphy. At least he can go 5. Maybe Joe Rock for the pen or Ben Peoples.

Very mature of you as usual.

Well yea the term has evolved to mean a lot more than just a person ( man or woman) who has problems attracting a partner and leading to involuntary celibacy. Being involuntarily celibate can have nothing to do with being a jerk towards women but the term now does imply some sort of hate or misogyny towards women. So I interpreted what you meant correctly. It was a general thing had more to do with normal involuntary celibacy that could apply to anyone but not the real meaning of the word incel which means misogyny is involved and applying it to a particlar person.

What insult did you see there ? Seems like a harmless genneral observation that would apply to any person. Highly doubt he's implying your partner doesnt want you. He would have to know you actually have a partner to do that.

I know wouldve had to cover 5 inninngs so Leasure was probably the freshest ,otherwise it's Eisert or Davis. Or take Fedde out as soon as he had to face a LHH in the fifth if he gets the 1st hitter out . Maybe see how long Newcomb could go at that point. Maybe Eisert. Some games I know its a tough choice and I was fine with Venable punting this game down 3-0 but once they tied it my thoughts are ,to win the series, you take the most immediate chance. Or you just stick to punting and leaving Fedde in to die. Venable chose leavng him in to die. I'm not saying the Sox wouldve won this game .Schultz could pitch great tomorrow and the right relief guys wrap up the game and Sox win the series or it goes sideways like today and you have to use your best guys in a loss and they aren't available for the opening game of the next series.TBH I havent checked when Newcomb pitched last so having him go multiple innings may not have worked. Monday is a day game against the Twins. I have a feeling that today or tomorrow the Sox call up a pitcher .

I thought I was prioritizing that stretch using Taylor, Dominquez , Newcomb & Leasure starting a clean inning in this game so they get a day of rest tomorrow and can pitch the 1st game or 2 of the next 3 or 4 after this series. You have them going tomorrow in the rubber game and unavailable for the 1st game of the next series.

Well once it was tied you could' ve gone to your better pitchers to try to win this game or save them until tomorrow and your best guys arent available for the 1st game of the division series. My personable feeling is go for it this game and have your best guys rested a day for the next series.

Its all on Venable .

Anf Vargas still not wearing sunglasses

Why is it taking so long to take him out but just as questionable is how long it took for a mound visit.

Serms like a couple pitches Romo could have challenged. And this is on Venable. No reason to start Fedde this inning. You had most of your decent BP arms available except the opener Hudson.

Great inning though !

Now Ill be a bit perplexed if Venable starts Fedde in the bottom half. He might try to get an out or 2.

Yes v-gas !

Was just thinking that. Hed rather tke his chances tomorrow with a BP that's not deplete from chasing this game. Sox need some runs this inning to change his mind. Otherwise Fedde is probably out there to start the 5th.

I'm hoping for some time in July .

Bummer . The wait on Teel ,Braden or even J. Gonzales is getting excrucriatingly long.

Oh 4th inning again.Hopefully get at least 1

By the way it took Ohtani 8 years to hit a Splashdown and Schwarber hit his 1st last July in his 11th year.

LFG boys !

Good defensive hustle Vargas.

No idea why he's so far away from the plate when he doesnt have the plate discipline to lay off the junk away. His K's are skyrocketing.
