See you later, Shoppach

[PJD]

Go take a long walk off a short pier. :thumbdown

He's 25 and was just called up. Give him a break. He'll come around eventually. This team has other problems that we should be worrying about, Shoppach is fine by me, even if he doesn't have any hits.

[schillingouttheks]

Are you serious? Maybe you should go take it. You CANNOT expect much out of him, he has NEVER been in the majors before. God...I hate it when fans like this have no slack for a rookie coming up from AAA a week ago. There aren't many players who are gunna pull a Youkilis as their first ML hit, let alone be successful immediately. Take a look at his numbers from AAA and you'll see instantly you're overreacting and have too high expectations.

[sarasoxfan]

whoa. I thought I was hard ont hese guys.

Cut the kid somwe slack, he's doing a very respectable job behind the plate in the pressue cooker world of the nation.

I say cut him a break.

[PJD]

Yeah, well, when he starts getting hits I'll change my mind. <_>

[schillingouttheks]

That's the problem. You expect hits. He isn't gunna deliver much. His defense has been fine, and that's what peope forget.

[PJD]

I'm just in a crappy mood today b/c of the blackout issue.

[schillingouttheks]

hah..you'd be in a worse mood if you were actually watching it.

[ahhchon]

I'm just in a crappy mood today b/c of the blackout issue.

 

that or you're just a little bitch who knows nothing about baseball. in a couple of years if shoppach is still a sox you'll be cheering for him.

Yeah, well, when he starts getting hits I'll change my mind. <_>You are a moron.

[Master Shake]

I have love for all the Sox... we need Shoppach w/ Mirabelli on the DL. Tek needs a break now and again... I just pray like hell that Tek is catching when I goto Fenway soon... like I said nothing against Shopp, but Varitek is my absolute favorite.

[Johnny_RedSox]

yeah lets cut him slack..........we are solid at the catching position.

 

i get this feeling that Millar will have a monster month of June, he is off to a good start, i like Millar!

[DOrtiz4prez]

Once again, he's a rookie. And even if he stays in this hitting slump, Doug will be back soon enough.

[ClementRulez30]

Chill Dude, He ant the promblem its Embree thats who they need to worry about! He is the one that hasnt been helping them out! Kelly might be a huge star in the future!!!

[10-27-04]

While he's not producing offensivly I thought he caught a fine game. I say give him some slack, but he better do a little something soon at the plate.

[schillingouttheks]

Let's remember, he was brought up because of Mirabelli's absence. Let's not jump on him he was sort of thrown into a big mix at a good time for us, and now he ain't doing so well. He'll get much much better.

[ClementRulez30]

Yeah, He will be great in the future right now he is still getting better!
