I might give Beckett the first hitter of the next inning but even the last pitch of the inning was a cookie. He is throwing nothing but balls and batting practice strikes.

I agree. He doesn't look like his heart is in the game.

Dont sell. Just sell Beckett But he is worth nothing.

 

 

Who could we sign in the offseason though?? Anyone out there?? We have no "strasburgs" in our farm.

Unfortunately we have a history of having players that don't give a s*** about their overpaid jobs and or fan base once they become embattled with our FO, people will take this as me being negative again but it's hard to argue it at this point.

I simply cannot understand how it is difficult for a professional hitter to cover both sides of the plate from a guy that throws 86.

 

Trust me. I threw 86 in high school, and hitters didn't have a problem covering both sides against me at all. And those were high school bums.

I really would have preferred Aviles batting after Ciriaco. Does not look like it will hurt the here but Aviles should own Laffey. Then again a bunch of them should own Laffey

Next on the immediate horizon will be watching for Beckett to tire out. When he has stayed in these games he starts crummy, peaks in something like innings 3-5 and starts to struggle again in the 6th. Sox cannot afford losses to teams they should be beating.

Frankly I think the Sox lack of success against junk-ballers is similar to their inability to manufacture runs....both take some effort beyond just trying to batter down the outfield wall. I have not seen much effort from the Sox offense outside of trying to batter down the wall.

So do you think their dependence on the HR is why they are losing games?

Settle down everyone, this game will probably last at least 9 innings, plenty of time to win this game. One scoreless inning does not mean we loose the game, one bad series does not flag the end of the season.
