13 hits and 5 runs doesn't cut it

12 hits with 4 runs doesn't cut it.

Doesn't matter when he can't throw the slider for strikes. There's no choice but the fastball 2-0.

This year's Iguchi.

Literally hit the wall in front of me. Could have grabbed his cap. Thought about it.

Cease really loses concentration with 2 strikes or 2 outs.

Yes. It was like scaffolding with a plastic sheeting that looked like wood.

This is all true. The fans down the left field line past 3rd base was pretty much Sox fans.

Most unlikely would be Mercedes as he wasn't even really considered an MLB player and was outstanding for that run.

Much of this year, I think is due to the lack of playing last year with the high number of injuries. This year I have no issue with erring on the side of caution and giving them more of a break.

For position players it's more the mental break than physical.

You know where my vote was.

Don't buy this. They aren't doing an MRI if there aren't some kind of symptoms. They may think the symptoms are nothing and doing the MRI out of caution but he felt something. Hopefully it is nothing that the break can't help.

Yeah, I posted this before I read the whole thread. There is still the possibility that it's just a check to be sure there are no issues. However, more than likely there were some symptoms in the shoulder and they want to check it out.

not shocking with the amount of innings he has piled up this year and has injury history.

Yep.

That's most in today's game.

Fair enough.

Probably no Lynn then

It's because the 2B position for a diamond or arch shape it the keystone that holds up the arch. In an arch such as the opening of a tunnel the middle stone at the peak absorbs all the force from the balance of the two sides. Take it out and the arch collapses.

Yep. Luckily, my last one graduates in 2023. It was a great plan but I can see why they had financial difficulties. We got a nearly 65% return on our investment.

Yep.

That would be correct. That's why I said everyone is entitled to their opinion but everyone needs to realize that no one here has all of the information.

You can but you also need to realize that it is an opinion that is based on not having all of the information.

Just like someone else said, its not just the quantity but the quality of the innings. I think we have seen many games even this year in a really good year that quality bullpen pitchers are more important than the WAR counting number show. A good bullpen can mask or create other issues. I didn't like giving up Madrigal but they needed to give up quality to get quality.
