I definitely like Van Buren, but Theo should already be on the phone before other GMs notice the box score

[Papelbon58]

they need to give the young guys more of a shot

 

screw Clement, Seanez, Tavarez and use Lester, Delcarmen and Van Buren

Personally, I think Delcarmen needs a little more work, especially with control. I would like to see him go down to AAA, promote Lester. Delcarmen has very good stuff, but it is all over the place

[CrespoBlows]

WHIP - 1.81

[Beckett95]

well atleast we can say that Clement has the 47th best ERA in the AL :dunno:

[TheKilo]

Coco!!!

[Beckett95]

COCO GOES YARD

[Papelbon58]

welcome back Coco!

[riverside sluggers]

Well theres a bright light, Coco!!!!!

[jsinger121]

We get 1 run back

[CrespoBlows]

Clement still sucks.

[Papelbon58]

dont give up on this game

[CrespoBlows]

dont give up on this game

 

[Beckett95]

We are really in trouble if Wells is going to still have problems with that knee.

 

Theres only been 3 reliable starters this year. We might be looking at Lester and Roger in the rotation very soon.

[jsinger121]

dont give up on this game

 

against Halladay he doesn't give up 6 run leads....this one is practically over.

[Papelbon58]

Lester yes, but Roger is like a TV cliff hanger, you always have to wait until next week

[Beckett95]

dont give up on this game

if roy halladay wasn't the best pitcher in the AL, i wouldnt. But the fact is, he is and he's only thrown 70 pitches in 5 innings

[TheRivernator]

i cannot see roger back in beantown...

[Beckett95]

they need to work counts next inning and get halladay out of the game before thinking of a comeback

[Beckett95]

i cannot see roger back in beantown...

i cant either, but its becoming more and more of a priorty. If the sox are in 1st place, and in need of SP, i could see him coming back

 

We are close to the point where we NEED him

Lester isn't ready, yet. He needs another two months at AAA ball.

 

The Red Sox should try to develop a Mark Mulder, not a Casey Fossum.

against a guy that throws strikes consistently like him that is difficult.

[Papelbon58]

we have only had 4 at-bats go past 3 pitches that counted

[NomahsHammSammich]

Wake up..this game is over

[jsinger121]

He may not be completely ready yet but the Red Sox may not have a choice. Does anyone want to see Dinardo and Alvarez thrown out there every 5th day?

[TheKilo]

against a guy that throws strikes consistently like him that is difficult.

 

 

It's not like they aren't hitting the ball hard.

[Beckett95]

ya but you can take a pitch or 2 in the begining of the count, and foul of some pitches. That could get his pitch count up a little. Maybe string some hits together.

[NomahsHammSammich]

Lester could not be any worse than Clement... Bring the kid up NOW Theo..or sign Clemens... those are your options.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Just curious......what do you guys think is the draw for Clemens to come back to Boston? The only one I could think of that he cant do with the Yankees or Astros is passing Cy Young on the Red Sox wins list.

[Beckett95]

Lester could not be any worse than Clement... Bring the kid up NOW Theo..or sign Clemens... those are your options.

i think we might need to both, depending on Well's health

 

Clement shouldn't even get another opportunity to pitch again as a red sox

[CrespoBlows]

Lester could not be any worse than Clement... Bring the kid up NOW Theo..or sign Clemens... those are your options.

 

Lester hasn't even thrown 50 IP at AAA. Give the kid time.
