i dont know, this team is really frustrating. Anyone else think they need to find a better 5 hitter with more pop. Trot's done nothing special this year. Your 5 hitter's supposed to back your 4 hitter with some power. Trot has almost none left.

Maybe because he's good?

 

He's good, but we get to him alot. Tonight we didn't even make him pitch, we just swung at the first stuff we saw ----trot, tek, and lowell all were gone quick! --5pitches!!!!!!!!!!

Always not? That's not correct. I believe you mean never.

Nixon has basically no power left. Its embarassing that he is the red sox number 5 hitter. Youkilis would certainly be a much better option there.

At some point I would expect players like Philips and Cabrera to come back down to earth....they have been playing above their heads for the last few weeks now and I am skeptical it can continue.

 

I expect that to be true for Melky, but not Phillips. He's a good hitter, he's just never been given consistent playing time in the majors. Now that he's getting that, and he's able to play without having to worry about the Columbus Shuttle, he should be able to produce on a consistent basis. Now is going to continue at this pace? Probably not, but he should be a productive member of the lineup.

I do. Make a trade.

That was a heart stopper. Poor Pauley's reaction though dampened my celebrations. Oh well, if he continues to pitch like that he will more than make up for it. Great game. I'll be there tomorrow and I'd like to see the same turnout...that is if the rain doesn't get in the way.

Trot could be good trade bait to get a starter at the deadline. As long as we have someone to replace him with.

 

what do you think it would take to bring in Carlos Lee? the brewers would certainly move him, but i dont know how much they would ask for.

I wouldnt mind seeing Lowell backup Manny. Youk yes, but he's going to solidify the bottom of the order and might return to leadoff if the Sox feel that is whats best

No one is going to want a 32 year old COF with no power.

That game = kick in the nuts.

 

 

Pauley gives you 2 ER over 6.2, and you can't beat Chien Ming Wang?

 

 

Embarrassing.

Beckett is bad????

 

 

ya, haven't you been watching him. He feasts on teams that don't have quality hitters or only a couple of them. When he faces a half decent team he gets hammered----that's why he has a 7+ ERA when facing over .500 teams! He has great stuff, but he needs to learn to pitch and not throw---he's stubborn and won't listen to anyone! He better get his head out of his butt soon becuase we need him!

2 games in a row he has pitched bad. Im not going to worry about. Toronto's offense was extremley hot going into that game and the Yankees offense is the best in baseball. Hes already shut down the yanks once this year

Beckett sucked last night, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

With all that Nixon has done for our squad, if we trade him, it better be a very good player that we are getting in return. I was watching the game from 2000 today on ESPN Classic where Trot hit the monter ninth inning shot off Clemens at Yankee Stadium. He still is a good player. I don't think anyone outside Ramirez and Ortiz were hitting today. It's not all on Trot.

he has power...hes a capable 15-25 homer hitter.

 

Probably 10-15, but that's not enough for a COF.

 

His ISOP is a whopping .105. Not what you look for in RF's.

The chances of Pauley doin this again is...remote

How looooooooooooooooooooooooooooow can you go.

 

You'd think for a national company they'd have less crappy commercials.

no but he is one of the players we need to get going if we want to win the division, along with tek.
