5/12 vs Indians

Padilla?

 

What's wrong with Padilla? I like Padilla and Morales as our set-up guys. I am still uncertain with Aceves, but I think he can get by as a closer short-term. I am going to be happy when Bailey comes back. That means we have Hill, Bailey, Aceves, Padilla, Morales, and Miller in the pen. That is not too bad. Also, Melancon might get another shot. I don't really want him in late inning situations as a closer or set-up guy, but he might not be a bad option for the 6th or 7th inning. We also have Mortenson, Albers, and Tazawa that can provide some depth. I kind of like the options that we have in the pen. If they perform the way they can, then they will be perfectly fine. If our pitching fulfills expectations, then this is a team that can potentially make a legitimate run to compete for the AL East.

No longer calling him A-God until he earns it back.

You like Morales? why?

0 for Middlebrooks. DFA the bum!

I understand that' date=' but your telling me ( just for arguments sake ) that if Boston hitters hit say 400? Doubles at home but their opponents only hit 300? at Fenway, that wouldn't skew the numbers a bit? Yeah in the end it's alot of doubles, but IF ( idk if there is ) there is a big discrepancy between our hitters and the visiting teams hitters, wouldn't that then atleast flaw the system a little bit? I really don't get into all the "extra" stats like that, so I'm not even 100% sure if I follow my own reasoning [/quote']

They compare all doubles hit by the Sox and their opponents at Fenway vs all doubles hit by the Sox and their opponents on the road.

Just 3 more outs. Let's go!

Understatement of the yr lol

I know he has not been too good this year, but he is not a bad reliever. He will get better as the year goes on. I think he can be one of our more reliable relievers.

[Bellhorn04]

Why the f*** did Aceves pitch in Beckett bombed start?

 

Good question. There has to be an explanation, but sitting from where we're sitting it doesn't make much sense since this is 3 games in a row he's pitched.

[Bellhorn04]

Sox pitchers fielding their position tonight.

[mvp 78]

Shelly Duncan look like a serial killer.

[Bellhorn04]

Just another quiet day at the office for the Sox trusty bullpen.

[Station 13]

No Morales, no drama.

[Rdsxmbnt]

one game at a time?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

one game at a time?

 

That's the way we're going to do it until our players play to their potential and we get healthy. Charlie Sheening.

Announcers " lot more people staying for this gm compared to last night" don't they know the train schedule? Lol.... Trust me when I'm at a game and it starts getting around 10:15-10:30 , I gotta go... Mess around too long and your stuck in Boston or in our case, actually made the train ( barely ) but because of how late it was they stopped in Framingham when we parked in Worcester!!! $50 cab ride later ( for 15 miles ) we learned to leave on time to catch the train

RSFFL MOJO!! :thumbsup:

Best game they played all year, also the quickest. Dan'l Nava great fundamental play seems to have picked up this team. Great outfield play yesterday and a textbook slide at home today, He'll keep playing if he keeps it up. Middlebrooks has cooled off though.

This bullpen sucks!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

This bullpen sucks!

 

Since April 23, Red Sox relievers lead the Majors in ERA (1.53) and innings (70.2)

 

That can't be though?

LOL I try to follow the numbers, but that is kind of amazing.

[Bellhorn04]

Funny how much smarter the manager looks when the bullpen closes it out with 3 1-2-3 innings.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I always said the BP wasn't that bad. Yeah they got off to a rough start but when you look into the BP they really aren't that bad.

[FredLynn]

Wow. Got back from teaching a scuba diving class and I see we limited the Guardians to one run. Excellent!

Back for more late.

I think an "I told you so" is in order.

[Bellhorn04]

2 games in a row they won without scoring double figures.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that our bullpen has been lights out since their earlier rough stretch vs Texas and new York. I'm also glad the numbers back up my observations.
