studs or reliable/dependable work horses. I guess I'm just not a subscriber to the piece meal strategy of the pitching staff. When you have 3/4 guys going a couple innings each, it just seems like 1 is bound to have an off night and blow it. The ERAs are generally meh. I miss the days of having 3 dependable (maybe 4) starters.

Wow, Chase. Game saver* - UofIL6 August 18, 2026, 21:35:47

i can’t believe how many low breaking balls we swing at and miss.* - Ari Gold August 18, 2026, 20:26:00
Was PCA's home run to start the game on the first pitch? I'm sure it's happened - Warrin'_Illini August 18, 2026, 08:59:19
- it was. (correction, this is just about hitting a HR in the first at bat and a walk off) - IlliniSax05 August 18, 2026, 09:02:33
  - Nice. Vic Power is a sweet name.* - Warrin'_Illini August 18, 2026, 09:07:41

no surprise there. malpractice handling of the pen tonight.* - Ari Gold August 17, 2026, 22:29:36
- Eh. The malpractice was not scoring in the 10th. - AintHatin August 18, 2026, 10:58:26
  - Mentioned it below but it seems like they are really bad at scoring in extras - bjl63 August 18, 2026, 11:06:45
- I had no problems pitching Hicks in the 9th. He’s been their best reliever the past month - bjl63 August 17, 2026, 22:56:43
  - asking for 4 outs is a bit much in that situation. and walking people is what he does.* - Ari Gold August 17, 2026, 23:03:12
    - "4 outs is a bit much" lololololol* - illini21 August 18, 2026, 08:05:53
    - 4 outs is nothing. And he hasn’t walked anyone since 7/29. - bjl63 August 17, 2026, 23:14:21
- Pitching to PCA is a fireable offense* - Mrap24 August 17, 2026, 22:49:42
  - shouldn’t have even come to that, but that was not great. could’ve stolen a game - Ari Gold August 17, 2026, 23:09:02
Not sure Hagen is the guy I want in this spot* - bjl63 August 17, 2026, 22:26:27
- Didn't get it* - illini222 August 17, 2026, 22:27:58
  - now we probably won’t have a chance to use hudson or taylor the next few nights. brutal.* - Ari Gold August 17, 2026, 22:32:08
- He’s screwed now. * - timmer August 17, 2026, 22:27:52
Sox are great at not scoring in extras* - bjl63 August 17, 2026, 22:23:39
can’t believe they didn’t use hudson or taylor in the 9th, neither pitched yesterday.* - Ari Gold August 17, 2026, 22:13:07
Few real close ball calls there that didn't go Sox's way* - UofIL6 August 17, 2026, 22:06:57
- sam’s early challenge was terrible and rogers challenged the wrong pitch in the 9th.* - Ari Gold August 17, 2026, 23:04:45
