7/25 @ Texas

[Brennan]

I see we can cross HanRam off the list now as well.

[lesterkett]

i hate beckett .. trade him pleaseeeeeeee

[User Name]

Oh the Red Sox....

Of 1,2 and 3 in the rotation, Buch has been far better pitching to Shop than to Salty. Lester has been far better pitching to Shop than to Salty but has pitched many more games to Salty as well. Beckett has been terrible to both.

 

Felix has been about as good pitching to both. Not sure if we are interested but Bard was just about as bad pitching to both.

[DocHolliday]

Alright let's get some runs!

[CaliSoxFan04]

thank you dustin!

[Brennan]

Pedey taking matters into his own hands.

[jung]

Pedey gets one out finally. He has got to be happy about that.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I love that arrogant mouthy little bastard.

[Palodios]

Man, I sure hope the Rangers can see what a good pitcher Beckett is... and that they might want him to stick around in Texas after the trip.

I am sure a better catcher helps the pitcher.... but not a direct link to a pitchers success or failures. What you said above confirms my suspicions that there is not much of an across the board Salty effect on all pitchers.

I'd only deal him away if we are getting at least one of Texas' legit prospects in return, depending on who it is. As maddening as he is, addition by subtraction for the sake of doing it would not be the right thing in this case.

Come on take the money and run needs to be playing when Crawford comes up to bat.

[wyo-sox]

I am getting crap full of watching Crawford's ugly at bats.

[jung]

A team like Texas will have the Sox a bit over a barrel as Josh will have approval over a trade and will likely only approve a trade to a Texas team. The Sox will be lucky to come out of it without having to pay a chuck of Beckett salary or the trade off might be paying salary and getting a better prospect.

[TylerD]

I don't care. I'll say it. I feel bad for Romero. Man that guy is having a rock bottom yr :s

That's funny.

[jung]

Crawford appears to be jealous of Salty's lofty K numbers...desperately trying to catch up in half a season.

That also is funny.

[MANNYHOF24]

I bet Crawford will never regain his former level

[MANNYHOF24]

Becketts stuff is so mediocre.. It's gross

[User Name]

Is it just me, or has the entire Red Sox pitching staff forgotten how to strike people out?

[jacksonianmarch]

whod have thought that on July 25th, three AL West teams would be in positions to win playoff bids

DFA Salty?

DFA Salty?

 

I say kidnap him like in the movie Taken. No Liam Neeson to save his ass.

[SemperFi Sox]

/game

[jung]

Of late Felix seems to be the K guy of the rotation but it does not even seem like any of them pitch like power pitchers any longer. Beckett does not. Lester is so fouled up I am not sure what he is at this point. That is one funky lookin' motion Lester has got these days.

[CaliSoxFan04]

nice job Josh

[NativeBostonian]

I hope we don't lose the game like that.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Beckett should have been pulled before the Young AB.

 

110 pitches after a hit batsman and a base hit representing 2 of the last 3 hitters? You do not leave him in. Not with the game on the line with a RISP.
