Yoenis Cespedes.....another bidding war I am glad we lost.

I agree on Darvish...glad Texas decided to be the gluttons for punishment this time. Now if we could only get New York interested in a Japanese pitcher.

Hideki Irabu 2.0?

[NC Sox Fan]

Okay shake it off here we go...

Seattle Mariners seen to like Japanese players, send this guy over there.

Why do teams bid on these Japanese. They suck.

[redsoxbeatz]

I'm at Nordstrom working.. Check my phone: we're up 1-0.

 

10 min later 5-1 and DiceK is out?!?!

 

MELTDOWNNNNN.

 

Cherry, get us an ACE!!!!!

[SCM33]

Reddick looks like he does crystal meth.

[jung]

And the innings go by one by one....the innings go by one by one....the innings go by one by one AND WE SUCK

 

Do you think some time on this west coast swing our nitwit offense will realize that the pitchers they are facing are just pitching them into the big parts of the ball park so that we can play catch with their outfielders.

[iortiz]

Wow, just turned MLB.tV on and this?, wow! D-K shiitted the bed didn't he?

[NativeBostonian]

Reddick looks like he does crystal meth.

 

That's probably his key to hitting like he is.

Yoenis Cespedes is not Japanese, if that's what you meant.

 

Also he's been pretty good. .843 OPS, pretty much what was expected.

[DocHolliday]

See: 2008 DiceK.

 

Very similar comparison coming from a fan who watches Darvish on a regular basis. The Rangers offense supports him heavily when he starts and he has been fortunate to get key outs with runners on base.

 

I will say that Darvish is more polished and consistent in the strike zone than Dice K ever was.

Doesn't take too much investigation work now does it? Dice K is officiall unvaluable

[Station 13]

I can't remember the Red Sox playing well in Oakland in recent years.

[Laser Show]

If AJ Burnett could get traded for more than a bag of hot s***, then Dice-K should be able to find a home somewhere.

[redsoxbeatz]

Holy s*** we need to invest in pitching do bad.

[jung]

dice is infinitely unvaluable

[SCM33]

Guys.....this is actually a blessing.

 

Instead of Dice-K going 5 innings and giving up 5, he gave up 5 after 1 inning. That means we dont have to watch him for the rest of the game!!!!

[NativeBostonian]

I know he isn't Japanese. I was just saying typically players that come from Japan aren't really successful in the majors. At least that's what I observed.

[SCM33]

Based on what? He leads the AL in walks.

[Brennan]

We just need to send a care package to the Cubs with all the rest of the s*** Theo hung on us. Top it off with Dice-Krap. Time to shed the albatrosses once and for all.

[NativeBostonian]

Yeah he got traded for a bag of hot s*** and some warm pee.

[Cocos Disciples]

Gotcha. Was confused because you quoted a post about Cespedes.

 

Also, this ballpark is s***.

Burnett is actually doing great now. Perhaps Dice-K should join him in the NL.

[Brennan]

Guys.....this is actually a blessing.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

[Brennan]

Who was betting he wouldn't give up more than two?

 

And what the hell could that have been based on?

[NativeBostonian]

Gotcha. Was confused because you quoted a post about Cespedes.

Yeah I quoted the wrong thing.

[SoxSport]

Punto>Lillibridge

 

Punto is hitting .200 this year and Lillibridge is hitting .000 this year in a Red Sox uniform. We might as well bring Ciriaco or Iglesias up, they could at least match the offensive production of either Punto or Lillibridge.

 

It sure is a mystery how the FO keeps accumulating s***** players, keeping better ones in AAA.

[jung]

Seriously though, I actually think the AL East teams (or at least the one I know the most about) get used to pitchers trying to get ground balls and simply do not know what the hell to do with a team full of pitchers that are trying to pitch them into the big parts of the outfield because they can and because they have outfielders that can go get the ball. For my money we are playing the 5th game in a row based on that premise and we still have not figured out what the hell to do.
