Yea I just can't wait to see what a force John Lackey is going to be pitching in the AL East in 2015! The consolation prize may be the best deal we get outta' this...if he sucks we get to get rid of him.

He need to establish his fastball. Why throw changeup to a RHH?

[markj]

No. It counts toward the 2015 tax at 15M.

 

Not that I'm doubting you, but please explain. You mean they pay him peanuts but still have to carry his normal salary for the lux tax?

yes, it become an option avverage out current salaries.

[jacksonianmarch]

It wont count to the tax number unless the sox pick up the option early, I dont believe.

[jung]

Bard asking AGonz how to get hitters to swing at first pitches like he does:D:D

[Station 13]

Why does he make it easy for Hamels to bunt? Throw a fastball turd.

[jung]

I don't think there is a way around the tax deal...I think it is only a matter of what year it is counted. We had this figured out here at one point.

[markj]

However it works out, I'd rather he be gone as soon as possible. Carrying his dead ass through the next few years wouldn't really be worth the schadenfreude of watching him pitch for the league minimum.

[jacksonianmarch]

he's unmoveable. You keep him until either he gets sick of you or he shows no capacity for reclamation

[Station 13]

WTF is wrong with him that he only throw about 10 fastball in the game?

[Brennan]

Bard got squeezed there.

Is Salty calling for them ? or Bard shaking Salty off to throw the off speed stuff?

I'm just following on GC

[FredLynn]

They did that in game 2 as well.

 

Its 20-5 with just over 3m left in Q1. They are all over the Sixers.

[jung]

C'mon Sox, get some runs on these dicks!

[markj]

Well he's already shown us that.

[Brennan]

brb

[Laser Show]

Its 20-5 with just over 3m left in Q1. They are all over the Sixers.

 

They are playing some unbelievable defense right now. They are swarming the ball and disrupting the 76ers sets more than I've seen them do in awhile

[BornToRun]

Runs baby. Let's get some.

[FredLynn]

He need to establish his fastball. Why throw changeup to a RHH?

 

Bard came into the game in the first inning throwing offspeed junk. He needs to first establish his fastball THEN show then the other stuff. He is trying to be too fine.

[BornToRun]

Gary Matthews dissecting bards swing. Jackass.

[jung]

I know...Sixers would really be embarrassing themselves if it were not for the Heat saving them from the distinction of Most Embarrassing in the East. How anybody stays a fan of that bunch of jerk-offs is beyond me. Got close to having a fist fight...on their own bench!

[Station 13]

Bard came into the game in the first inning throwing offspeed junk. He needs to first establish his fastball THEN show then the other stuff. He is trying to be too fine.

 

he only throws around 45% fastball this season.

[markj]

Unless Bard pulls a 1-2-3, this could be it for him. Hope the BP is sharp tonight.

[FredLynn]

Bard lost this game in the first inning.

[jung]

Man that was crushed

[FredLynn]

All the other teams in the ALE are either ahead or tied.

We will sink even deeper into the cellar after this loss.

[FredLynn]

Celtics 24-12 after one quarter.

[Station 13]

It's unbelievable how Bard let his secondaries get hit.
