Another save ! Back to .333 win percentage. They just can't stay above it. When they get to it or above they drop a bunch on the road. But good pitching . Lucky that Devers has sucked against the Sox . Nice little late inning comeback . I swear the Sox get a lot of their wins on Friday, Saturday, Sunday compared to other days . I suppose I could find those records .

Big DP !

We must be looking at 2 different things. Catcher was in the base path . He stepped into foul territory without the ball. Intentional or not he caused the runner to alter his path wider than it should have been which was why he couldn't reach the plate.

You know it's possible after looking at it on the post game show Taylor did have to go around the catcher because he did have a foot in foul territory before he had the ball. If I was Venable I would've challenged that play based on interpretation of the blocking home rule . Nothing to lose at that point in the game. A runner going full speed canot change direction in the middle of a slide nor correct his running path once the catcher steps into foul territory. He had to go around the catcher . The only question is how they interpret the rule which usually says something about having the ball before you block the plate, which he did not .

And he was just being fair after Wisely wasn't so wise getting picked off 3rd on a strike 3 pitch . Rare DP and Uber rally killy.

That's what I said lol. I figured I was wrong. Lemme try again. 1st Major League 2 inning save !

That'll do it ! 1st MLB save.

Need this Taylor to make up for the other one.

LFG !! Give the big crowd something to cheer for.

Noda in RF worked out well 😂

Lol I thought of you when I saw the interview list posted. You have made it known every time Friday home game that you don't like it 😋

Hometown scorer should've given Vargas a hit and RBI. Meidroth plays well at home , heads up base running especially with the late start having to head back to 2nd on the line drive Adames missed.

He'll probably play tomorrow.

Since he came back he has about 30 hits and over half are extra base hits mostly doubles and HR with a triple thrown in.

Don't know why you even bother. Bannister's been a respected pitching pitch coach for years. The guy is offering no proof except mindless conjecture because the Sox have pitching injuries and Bannisters presence . That's it. There's no investigative reporting going on here. It's all he was here so he can be blamed stuff. It's garbage , baseless nonsense.

The only thing you seem to be saying is there a lot of injuries now. Everything else you said is talking without saying anything. You just I don't know what it means. Congrats ! At least you admitted you don't understand what's going on .

Luis no doubt watched the video I posted in the Robert Trade value thread reminding him who he is 😄

Glad you posted it. I watched it right away because I subscribed to all Sox podcasts on YouTube to get as much info as possible. It had crossed my mind to do it but I figured with the state of the board it would just be considered Sox propaganda and the thread would die quickly. Plus there seems to be some misconception about how Biomechanics works with regard to injury prevention and rehabilitation which is impossible to do. Yes it's is often stated goals to help in those areas but arm injuries come from throwing a baseball hard and for many years. It's wear and tear and most pitchers have been doing it for a decade before most them ever get hooked up to motion capture technology. They try to identify areas of inefficient movement or bad mechanics before or after injury and make adjustments. I have no idea of the Sox employ an injury prevention specialist among their medical people in conjunction with the biomechanists but you need both to work hand in hand they do need medical training and certification with deep knowledge of kinesiology , sports medicine and physical therapy. The athlete has to do his part and develop good habits . There are no instant cures. Bodies will always break because of stressful forces. All they can do is make recommendations and you can't turn back the clock . Injuries are inevitable and fans are ill equipped to pass judgement on scientific and medical practices they are not involved with since they are not the player, coach, biomechanist nor the medical practitioner . The most efficient way to throw a baseball is underhanded . Unfortunately it is not the way to throw it the hardest or with the most accuracy. The long link I have provided is an AI synopsis of 8 different articles on how Biomechanics and sports medicine collaborate to HELP to try to assist in injury prevention and rehab. https://www.google.com/search?q=what+medical+training+should+a+biomechanist+have+when+trying+to+prevent+and+rehab+sports+injuries+%3F&authuser=0&aep=21&udm=50&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=aim_aware&utm_content=oo-seaport-10123&mstk=AUtExfCfLth68GKOQHLspv78wLXIpgREht_W4P2FoR7JdBxoGSY0EDC3otTn2b9ISDWlE7rI6B3aDgkk4IGoLOroy6wf6iXDCgkGCs9P7RxEZTAODnj2pmRYrEDiku2M90Bsn8JW5XyDBMiwpovVeDvEXpDuumix33a0WbpGlXBOMh8M1oMNyc1WLz1s33Fx6YFKLpEGzFmA3u46GZbYko85d9_yaz_u0CWMr_YyJwxVGIS-kquvZy9Berzm2_aFnevC1499qMgXnb16_SovgQNoOaZGeluu5XnS1ir57_k1Uef_nTwz4AKRB2H_bKVtaaBa1lNlNszJXw13Mg&csuir=1

Walking through the park and reminiscing... Bring back the 2023 gangster black suit and black hat after HRs ! Remind Robert of who he is.

She wasn't very tolerable of newbies. I incurred her wrath too . I think I said something about Frank Thomas being steroid free but I might have said it in a way that confused her and she got very pissed. Many many years ago since I've been around here over 20 years.

We had an older woman here for a while.Cant remember her screen name. Loved left handed hitters and I couldn't blame her since the Sox are historically bad with LHH stats. I miss our Pick to Click guy too, elrockinMT. Haven't seen him since his last PTC post Aug 20 ,2023. At that point he was the only one participating in it.

I never said they'd get much, just that I thought they'd trade him .

5 weeks and you can be as smug as you want. Surely you want him to get hot don't you ? JUSTgottaBELIEVE !

Perez, Houser, Shane Smith, Vasil, Civale those are all pretty good finds. They have all done well for pieces others teams were willing to discard. Perez a FA but was pitching well before he got hurt. Even so they probably got more bang for their bucks than any 5 pitchers new to their team this year for as little money as they're getting. That's like jackpot territory for garbage picking.

Every time someone has said something about Robert being traded I've taken the opposite side of it and been right. Nightengale said he'd likely be traded by Memorial Day I said he wouldnt be. Same thing when the Sox picked up Taylor and everyone said Robert was about to be traded I didnt think so. When people here and Nightengale thought he'd be gone along with Crochet at last seasons TDL I said I thought it was not a good chance of either of them getting traded by then or something along those lines. Mightve said it was 50/50. Can't remember. Probably glad it didn't happen that soon with Crochet and might've been a mistake not dumping Robert if they had any decent offers. But despite how bad he is this year it's possible since he's cheaper a team might want to take that chance on him this year. There's not many others you can put into late innings for defense and PR that are also capable of a HR in extra innings. Heck of a guy to have as your 4th OF too on a contender in any OF position.
