6/11 Sox go fishing (vs Marlins)

[a700hitter]

Pods with 3 hits tonight out of 5 for the team, but everyone is quick to DFA him when our OFers return.

[redsoxbeatz]

:(

[FredLynn]

Another loss. When will our FO do something, anything, to shake things up for this team? Probably not until its too late...then the excuses. Its not going to be a pretty sight. In fact, its going to get really brutal if this continues.

[a700hitter]

Top of the 8th, pitchers spot up first.

 

Hmm... I have Middlebrooks and Punto, and there's virtually no chance that the P spot gets back up...

 

Yeah Punto sounds good.

 

Idiotic move, V.

A ridiculous decision.

[Brennan]

Wow, it was 2 out fail time.

 

 

Who here actually thinks this team is going to win this game.

 

 

If the 2012 Red Sox was a horse, someone would take it out behind the barn and shoot it.

[VA Sox Fan]

pedroia time for you to go DL

 

That would not be his choice or call.

Not just because of tonight, but overall, I think he's a keeper.

[a700hitter]

We are still alive. Heath Bell has been awful so far this season.

[FredLynn]

The problem with your argument is that you assume all parks are equal.

 

I think OPS is the single most useful statistic to determine the value of an offensive player. I can understand the arguement for using OPS+. Can you find a list of all time OPS+ leaders? I can't.

Melancon's ERA is plumetting.

Its more like a slow poisoning.

He sucks. DFA.

 

Nice play Pedey and Ortiz.

 

One more chance to attempt to tie or win this one. I have a headache.

[a700hitter]

Not just because of tonight' date=' but overall, I think he's a keeper.[/quote']I agree with you. His OBP is pretty good over his career. He does a lot of things well. He has good speed, and a good base runner. He's a good OF who can play CF. Good bunter. He brings more to the team than DMac or Nava

[FredLynn]

The LA Kings, the #8 seed, is about to take the Stanley Cup away from the Bruins. They lead 4-0. Congratulations to them and their fans. First cup for the franchise, I believe.

Sure. You can find it here

 

Coming into this season, Adrian Gonzalez had a 140 OPS+, and had a 147 OPS+ over the past 5 seasons.

 

Have a look. There are a lot of big names in that 145 range.

I've been to as many Kings games as I've been to Bruins games.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Gonzo with his first walk in, what, 107 AB?

[mvp 78]

FU Gonzo, that's not a HR!!!

[Station 13]

bell you sucks. you walked Gonzaldud.

Thanks, but I am not discounting this season at all. It all counts. Let me look at it.

I agree about Dmac but not Nava. He exceeded expections. He's fallen off though.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Sox can't have WMB hit for anyone other than Sweeney coming up. Awesome.

 

Would be fantastic if BobbyV gave the bat to WMB over Youk.

[VA Sox Fan]

FU Gonzo' date=' that's not a HR!!![/quote']

 

DFA Gonzo.

[jung]

That high inside pitch is the pitch David knows he cannot hit...that is why he is so mad at himself

[FredLynn]

Checked it out. Gonzo is at 137. There are many good-but-not-great players in that range IMO. As I said, it all depends on how you define "great".

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow. Ortiz just got absolutely frozen.

[Brennan]

Nice work Papi. Effing pitch was right down main street.

[Station 13]

DFA Gonzo.

 

He should be on 2nd. DFA DFA DFA
