Will be the 40th player to make his Sox debut this season. 27 was the previous franchise record. And will be the 61st player used overall- also a franchise record. But Getz and company are doing a bang up job.
In my opinion 40-122 would be the modern record, so 10-21 the last 31. I’m thinking they get a few wins more than usual when they get down to the last 15. We’ll see how bad the next 16 go. I’m hoping for under 40 wins. Let’s go all the way with this thing.
There used to be games that got rained out after 5 innings that ended in a tie, but were made up fully later on. The stats counted. That’s why some players have played 163 games in a season.
I take it this is the “double hook” rule? So if it’s fewer than 6, you lose the DH? I like it. Train starters in the minors to go longer. It shouldn’t be a big deal if a starter goes 100-110 pitches every five days. And god forbid a guy has a no hitter and pushes to a 125 to create a memory once in a while. Do it.
