5/26 VS Rays

[BornToRun]

Joe Maddon is such a jerkoff.

[Station 13]

Rays are so corny

[BornToRun]

God I hate Tampa so f***ing much. They dressed liked the kids who get bullied and emotionally abused in high school. Big f***ing deal.

[BornToRun]

Who's idea was it to get the rays color man for this game?

[TylerD]

Maybe I couldn't tell from the s***** camera angle. But that didn't look like an out to me.

People need to stop expecting leadership from Beckett. He is not a team leader...does not want the job from what I can see. As long as he takes the ball every 5th day and pitches the way he can pitch that is what we should expect.

 

Upon retrospect I am not even sure at this point if Golfgate wasn't just another case of the Sox usual f***ed up communications....with the media....with each other.....with anybody! V was all over the map regarding Golfgate.

[BornToRun]

Getting his pitch count up at least

[TylerD]

Getting. Angry....

Good point.

[BornToRun]

Aviles has been very impressive as a defensive shortstop this year.

[Station 13]

3 innings with runners on and still can't get a key hit.

 

Also Byrd WTF was that AB? Cameron esque.

[jung]

I thought that was pretty close to the phantom out at second also. However that has been accepted convention for a long time now. I guess I am OK with it as long as the guys that want to call the Phantom out at second call it the same way every time.

[BornToRun]

Josh has such a nasty curve.

I maybe in the few, but I liked Cameron better then Byrd.

I forgot about Cameron.

 

Thanks, *******.

[BornToRun]

Nice catch, Byrd.

Cameron was a fantastic player when he came up. But we got a corpse when we signed him.

Like Crawford; I only kid. It’s too soon to say that.

[jung]

I think the other thing that I had expected right from the beginning of the season was Josh fully making the transition from power pitcher to a guy that depends on location more than power. That does not mean his FB is going to fall to 89 mph but I do think he will throw it at 91 and 92 with great location and will mix his pitches as he has.

 

If his location is bad he will get tagged again, as he has.

[NativeBostonian]

God, Gonzo swings at everything. He is turning into Vlad.

[Station 13]

Thanks a bunch Gonzo.

[lesterkett]

agon sucks ..

[jung]

Price is a great LH pitcher but it has not taken great LH pitching to crunch Agons lately.

My bet is it being more mental than anything else.

I would have to agree with you. Someone who is confident doesn't swing at balls in the dirt.

He'll come out of it. He ain't Adam Dunn. He's smart and knows how to hit. It isn't like he hit .250 last year.

[jung]

If Agons made better plate appearances he would not fall so far so fast. He is not a selective hitter when he is going good. When he is going poorly if anything he becomes frustrated and seems to be looking for a way to get back to the dugout ASAP.

 

He would see more pitches if was more selective and getting a few better pitches to hit would surely get him more hits even when he is going badly.

[NativeBostonian]

I think he is going through what Ortiz did a couple years back.

[BornToRun]

I don't know if it's that bad.

[BornToRun]

Josh is dealing tonight.
