A dynasty with the ChiSox staying honest would be great. I actually don't remember seeing one of those - certainly not for a long time.

Painmantle · 03-28-2013, 08:45 AM

That World Series won’t happen until next season in this world. They might not throw the series in this world (or even make it for that matter) LOL. But I think it would be counter intuitive to run two dynasties in the same era at the same time. I was hoping to move a little further into the future

As far as this dynasty goes I figure I can average 4 games a day (rough guess). Possibly more, but probably not less. So if Ruth plays 20 years this will take me around 2 real years to complete.

I was thinking about somewhere around the Baseball moves “West” time frame( 1958). Possibly having Baseball Expand early…Or maybe one involving Ted Williams and the fact he basically missed 5 years during his career due to military service. He did not play at all during the 1943,44,45 seasons and in 1952 only appeared in 6 games then in1953 he hit 17 HR in only 37 games. Considering the 43-45 seasons were in his prime and he was still an All-Star caliber player in his 30’s he very well may have give Ruth’srecord of 714 a run had he had a full career!

But I’m still in the decipheringprocess on what I feel will be interesting and Fun for me as well as thereader.

Boston Errorless, Grimes gets first win!

Burleigh grimes didn’t pitch any different than he did in his first eight starts that resulted in an 0-6 record but the defense behind him was flawless for a change, outfielders making wall crashing catches,infielders making diving stops and Catchers cutting down runners instead of throwing to the Center Fielder was the difference in this one. Timely hitting perfectly placed bunts and sound baserunning decisions also helped in this 5-2 victory that dropped Ed Cicotte’srecord to 5-5. Iron Man Stuffy McInnis continues his impeccable play with both the bat and glove Hitting .307, Stuffy and Harry Hooper are the only ones to play in all 36 games this year

Dutch Blanks Chicago!

Lee Magee scored the 1st run and thats all Dutch needed

The defense was errorless for 2 consecutive games for thefirst time and only for the 8th time all year in Dutch Leonard’s 4-0 six-hitter. New comer Bill Hinchman got the start in RF but Harry Hooper didn’t get a day off and preformed spectacularly in CF with 7 put outs and making a few wondrous plays to boot! Stuffy McInnis’2 RBI Single in the first is all Leonard needed. Ruth was 2-3 and has his average up to .297 and has played spotless in LF since his return.

Painmantle · 03-28-2013, 08:10 PM

Kinney to the Rescue!

When Babe Ruth hit a 2 out 2 run Homer in the Bottom of the inning after pitching a scoreless first hopes were high at Fenway. The tides turned quickly as he walks the leadoff batter in the secong and after two throws to first and a ball, Nemo Leibold Tied the game with a towering shot to dead center.

Ruth obviously shaken by the events got out of a 3^rd inning Jam stranding the bases loaded, again in the 5^th he manages to get out of a pickle after allowing a 2 out double , an error on 2B zeb Terry, and a walk. In the 6^th he walks 3 and leaves two on base after C Ernie Krueger guns down Ray Schalk trying to steal 3^rd.In the 7^th he allowed a walk, 2 singles and Hit a batter, yet allowed only one run. In the 8^th inning after only one Pitch (his141^st) and a fly out to CF, Ruth was pulled from the game quietly,the fans booed unknowing that Ruth had an ailing back. Enter Walt Kinney the less celebrated two-way player on the Sox Roster. Kinney retired 2 batters with awalk sandwiched in between and the Sox were Down 4-2 late in the game again!

Then the unthinkable happened, after Ruth left the game his slot in the order came to bat with 2 out and the bases loaded and the .166 hitting Walt Kinney coming to the plate a left handed anemic batter against a Left handed pitcher, the chances looked bleak . It took Kinney 7 pitches and two foul balls with a full count but he came through with a Bases clearing double and then scored on a Stuffy McInnis double.

Six days 'til Tillie’s Return!

In less than a week the Sox roster will be fully intact for the very first time this season. Slugging Tillie Walker is scheduled to return in 6 days and should be in the lineup for the 3^rdgame of a series in Detroit where he will resume his CF duties and allow Lee Magee to return to his natural position of 2B. This will create a dilemma any Manager would welcome, If Tillie bats behind Ruth as expected where will Sox leading hitter Stuffy McInnis bat ? Odd sare that the .316 hitting 1^stBaseman will be moved up in the lineup to 2nd from the 5^th spot he’s occupied every game this season due to Injuries to Ruth and Walker

Painmantle · 03-28-2013, 09:52 PM

Series opener is no Picnich

The return of the 8^th inning meltdown was not a welcome sight for the Red Sox nation as Val Picnich stroked a 2 out, 2 run single to give the Senators the lead and a 4-2 victory. Babe Ruth was 2-4 and raised his average to .340. Stuffy McInnis had both Boston RBI’s on 2 out, 2 run single in the 6^th.

Good Riddance Month of May!

Boston just completed a horrendous 9-19 month, if anything could go wrong it did in the month, everything from injuries to errors to insipid hitting stretches. Pitching was formidable for the most part but if it wasn’t the pitchers choking it was the defenders and Hitters, all in all a Month to forget in the Red Sox Baseball annals of History! We will now move onto June and never ever speak of this putridMonth ever again!

Another possibility if you don't mind going even further into the future: In 1980 Charlie Finley was prepared to sell the A's to Marvin Davis, who would have moved the team to Denver. It might be interesting to see if he'd succeeded.

Painmantle · 03-29-2013, 04:07 AM

June,Sweet,June!

Balls were flying around Navin Field all day!

June couldn’t come too soon as Boston scored nearly as many runs (14) as they had in the last 6 games combined (15) Ruth gets his 3^rdwin but left in the 6^th inning with 1 out exhausted. And Ferdie Schupp pitched the final 3.2 innings for his second save. Boston recorded 21 hits and every starter had one, and 6 had 2 or more. The Red Sox had their customary amount of errors this game!

So here we sit atgame 44, 2/7^th through the 1918 season. The month that we shallnever speak of again is finally over and June brings new promise and prospects.The Ruth return while an emotional high has yet to produce the desired resultsand I’m coming to the realization that he either needs days off undoubtedly the day before he pitches and possibility the day after to keep hisproduction at the highest possible level or he needs to come out of the BullPen and be a spot starter, It will bemuch easier to accommodate either scenario with the return of OF Tillie Walker’sbat. The month that shall never be spoken again saw some ghastly offensivenumbers for some players.
