5/3 at Texas

[a700hitter]

The pitch count is ridiculous for 4 innings. This is grueling 4 innings.

[jung]

He is a battler

 

Guess he lost the battle with his waist:D

[Station 13]

his WHIP is around 1.70, which is a back up at best.

[SoxFanForsyth]

This is dice k esque.

 

Just horrible. We absolutely cannot be crushing our bullpen like this.

 

I'm done with Doubront. Bring up Webster.

[Station 13]

f***ing hell.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Did anyone really not see this coming??

 

Doubront has been a warm pile of garbage all night. This is his own fault for not putting in the work in the offseason.

[Jasonbay44]

I hate Doubront

[a700hitter]

He broke there. Beltre was not the guy he wanted to face with the bases loaded.

[italstallianion]

Yeah he and Dempster should switch records.

[Station 13]

just send him to the DL please. He can't ask the BP to pitch 4 inning averages when he starts.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Beltre is another one who f***ing kills us. We're still the Rangers bitch.

[jung]

Even at the bottom of the rotation, you have to be able to average 6 per game. Felix can't get out of the 4th inning any longer. He is averaging just below 6 per and sliding.

 

Our bullpen is about to get longer again. But you can't really rely on everybody in the pen being healthy. That is more the exception than the rule. Between that and the offense sputtering a bit, we seem to be coming back to earth a little bit.

 

The real question is if those two studs at the top of the rotation can keep it up.

 

I was in favor of Webster being groomed in the minors for another year. However I sense our need for a lift. As long as it does not hurt him I wold be in favor of bringing Webster this year. It might be getting close to time to consider Iggy as well. Not that Drew has been that bad. I just sense the Sox needing a lift from somewhere.

[Station 13]

We don't even have a long man. Mortensen isn't capable of effectively throwing an inning half of the time. I don't think he has work 2 yet.

[jung]

Funny watching that guy eating in the stands in Texas. Having finished off the $26.00 Cheese burger, he is on to the mountain of fries on the side. Myself, I would be dead already...a carcass sitting in that seat.

That's gotta be 5000+ calories for the burger alone.

Iggy? lol wut?

 

He's sucking in Pawtuckett right now and Drew seems to be coming around.

[Jasonbay44]

Yeah that burger is f***ing ridiculous... I can't believe that dude is finishing it.

[jung]

Iggy? lol wut?

 

Just looking for a catalyst. Sense that the Sox need something...maybe Lavarnway...maybe Webster would be enough.

[italstallianion]

At this point I'd rather have Doubront try to pitch right handed to save bullpen arms. At least we're on the road so we only have to pitch 8 innings.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Boston Red Sox property of the Texas Rangers.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Oh gawd, just checked the score for this. Apparently Doubront tubgirled out there.

Some of the guys in the BP is on pace to pitch 75-80 games.

[italstallianion]

Beltre is another one who f***ing kills us. We're still the Rangers bitch.

 

In his career ( 56 games and 212 AB ) his line is .208/.286/.373/.659 going into today.

[italstallianion]

I'd say he 7-layer burritoed into a windowless room.

[italstallianion]

It doesn't look like Doubront has any options left so I imagine he'd get claimed if we had to get rid of him. As much as I want to get rid of him (and Aceves) an injury can destroy us if we have Lester/Buchholz/Dempster/Lackey/Webster as our rotation.

[italstallianion]

At least the Yankees and Blue Jays also got shutout.

[jung]

SALTY....Gotta' do something with Salty. He has come crashing back to earth as usual and then you are stuck with that wonderful Salty defense behind the plate. Clearly he is waiting for the next close game to hit us with another surprise attack throw into the right field grandstands.

[italstallianion]

Oh well, these kind of games are going to happen over the course of a season.

Have you kept tabs on Vaz in the minors? Where is he at, how's he doing? Man the way that kid threw out runners in Spring Training makes him quite an upgrade if you ask me. Hope to see him up some day.

[jung]

Wish Pedey felt better. That thumb must be as bad at this point as it was last year cause just these last few games he looks just like he did last year when the thumb was bothering him. You want to hope he will hit so he can stay in the 3 hole. But if he keeps going like this they may not be able to keep him there.
