I just heard on weei guys criticizing Bobby V. for how he has used the bull pen this year. They were saying he has over used the pen and were criticizing him for having a reliever warming up in the 8th last night.

 

Seems like they are trying really hard to find something to get on Bobby V for. I will admit I've liked Bobby V. Even before he was hired for the job, but as the season has gone on my opinion of him has gotten better.

 

So tell me where they right in criticizing his management of the bull pen.... or are they blowing smoke?

Sounds like total nonsense to me.

The thread title had nothing to do with the content of the post.

I love the job bobby has done this year. I admit I was skeptical but I've come to appreciate how good he's been this year.

I feel the same way. I like the shuffling of the lineup and I think he has usually sent out our best BP guy for the situation & pulled starters at the right times (no more 7-run rule, now it's like 4-5 run rule depending on the context of the situation.)

 

As for the OP - weei & other boston radio sports talk can often be the stereotypical boston sports media chatter. Gotta' sift through a lot of ******** to find the serious sports talk and not just filler.

Total ********...eei is really getting on my nerves lately taking the invent a story to get people rilled thing a bit to far these days.

 

Geez I might be more critical of the Sox when they screw up than some....maybe even most but that is total ********.

I should be more specific to be fair, it was not weei but Dale Arnold specifically .

Arnold....now there is a guy with deep baseball roots....you are right the first time though....these things do I think tend to be orchestrated with some producer behind the scenes pulling the strings on who will adopt what position. Lately eei has gone off the rails from my perspective. Spent hours upon hours yesterday trying to beat the whole Buch to Foxwoods thing into a frenzy and actually got called on it finally by enough call ins that they threw in the towel....Ordway was backtracking so fast you would think he was moon dancing.

Sports radio exists to stir s*** up. Toucher & Rich made a big deal about the Buchholz charity event too. It's harder to find stuff to argue about when the team is doing well.
