6/26 The Youk-less Red Sox and Japan's National Treasure will Laffey at the Jays

[ellsburyforMVP]

Why do AAAA pitchers look like Cy Youngs against us?

 

how can phil umber throw a perfect gm?? s*** happens

[SoxFanForsyth]

Well then. So far this is pretty f***ing embarrassing. We should have scored 5+ runs so far.

[lesterkett]

Win–loss record 21–23

Earned run average 4.34

agree i hate the inconsistency of this team

[lesterkett]

Agon sucker

[TutGadol]

Did this third wheel ever hear about bunts?

[db41]

Laffey is absolutely painting the outside corner and has good late movement on his cutter.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Ugh WMB. Your defense is subpar.

[jung]

Amazing how much difficulty we have had with junkers lately. This is the same progression that we suffered against Jurjjens at least at the start.

 

Swinging and missing the junk early in counts the first time through the order against Jurjjens.....laying off early in counts the second time through the order as Jurjjens switched gears throwing that s*** fastball of his early in counts and getting ahead with it and then back to the junk early in counts the third time through the order.

 

Laffey has Part 1 of the plan in play. Lets see what happens from here.

[ellsburyforMVP]

wow we win 8/10 and everything is great....we lose 1 and are down 1-0 and now nothing but negativity lmao....i'll come back when we take the lead i guess :dunno:

[SemperFi Sox]

Ugh WMB. Your defense is subpar.

 

Yeah we should pat him on the back for every routine play he makes.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Yeah we should pat him on the back for every routine play he makes.

 

Why do that when we can crush him for every errant throw he makes on a ball he shouldn't have even gotten to?

[lesterkett]

DFA punto and mcdonald

[SoxFanForsyth]

Wow.

 

Aaron Laffey. Are you f***ING kidding me?!

[NativeBostonian]

Figures, Dice-K pitching well and the offense isn't hitting.

[TutGadol]

33 Pitches. Seriously?

[jung]

f***ing Laffey has dispatched us through 3 innings with 34 pitches. That is ridiculous.

[SemperFi Sox]

Why do that when we can crush him for every errant throw he makes on a ball he shouldn't have even gotten to?

 

He's made numerous bad defensive plays. He's not getting grilled for just one mistake. Don and Jerry said he's been subpar too. It's not really opinion, so far he's been lack luster with the glove when he's known for having a good one.

[NativeBostonian]

The Boston Red Sox; there when your pitcher needs a confidence boost.

The sox are 17-1 when WMB has an RBI in a gm, i've yet to hear about WMB costing us a gm with his glove??

Jacksonian's twin, is that you?

[NativeBostonian]

Wow where we're you going with that pitch?

[jung]

Many of WMB's errors have been throwing errors as well....just has not settled in as yet I think.

 

If you remember some of my recent posts about Salty and his defense it appears that Salty's defensive problems earlier this year were tied to how quickly he tried to execute even the most mundane play. WMB needs to slow down a bit and I think his defense will improve for the same reason that Salty's defense improved.

He's young and improving. It happens to rookies plenty. You know all those guys in your sig? They're going to struggle at first too. Probably way more than Middlebrooks has.

I'll let him have a few problems with his glove because of the stat alone.

[TutGadol]

Better get some runs now. Good part of the order coming.

[jung]

Lets see if Laffey changes his approach second time through like Jurjjens did the other night

[SoxFanForsyth]

This may well take the cake for most frustrating game of the year.

[Cocos Disciples]

This is infuriating. It's a risky move to count on Dice-K to keep them in this game, too.

[SoxFanForsyth]

This is unreal.

 

I cannot fathom this.
