Come on Iglesias

[redsoxfan3]

Machado is trying to give me a heart attack.

[rjortiz]

I would play three outfielders right on the left field line when Machado bats.

Maybe one in foul territory? That first inning double was foul.

[redsoxfan3]

I feel like when I watch Gomes that he is going in slow motion.

[Standing Room]

Catcher's the only position player allowed to be in foul territory.

[mvp 78]

I don't know what's worse: Salty framing pitches or this ump's strike zone.

[Standing Room]

I'm fine with pitching around Davis here.

[Standing Room]

I don't know what's worse: Salty framing pitches or this ump's strike zone.

 

This umpire has a huge strike zone.

[Standing Room]

Why the f*** do you throw Davis a 3-0 fastball there? First base was open.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Why the hell do you pitch to him with 1st base open

[Jasonbay44]

f***

[WMB16]

Lester is straight up garbage and with Buch maybe headed to DL we are headed in a bad direction

[Station 13]

Why the hell do you pitch to him with 1st base open

 

he need to stop falling behind so many batters.

[WMB16]

another start of less than 5 innings for Lester what a joke

[redsoxfan3]

We really needed Lester to pitch a great game.

[TylerD]

Really not sure what's up with Lester lately, hopefully he can rebound. We're not out of this by a long shot. Lester just needs to settle down a bit, and hopefully the offense can put something together here.

Offense and bullpen are still strong. We still have three average starters.

John Lackey has been solidly above average. He just shot down the second base offense in baseball.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I'll never understand how the hell this teams starters shut us down. They have atrocious SP

[rjortiz]

John Lackey has been solidly above average. He just shot down the second base offense in baseball.

 

Two well above average starters, two average, and one slightly below.

 

Rotation isn't elite, but it should get the job done.

[redsoxfan3]

Someone is going have to step up offensively.

[Standing Room]

Two well above average starters, two average, and one slightly below.

 

Rotation isn't elite, but it should get the job done.

 

Yup, that should get the job done considering we have the best offense in baseball.

[WMB16]

Offense and bullpen are still strong. We still have three average starters.

 

What team can make a run with 3 average starters and Dubront sucks

[SoxFanForsyth]

3 runs seem insurmountable with this pathetic lineup today

[SoxFanForsyth]

What team can make a run with 3 average starters and Dubront sucks

 

Uh, with the est offense in baseball? Most teams...

[Standing Room]

What team can make a run with 3 average starters and Dubront sucks

 

Did you watch the 2004 Red Sox?

[Standing Room]

Nice bounce back inning. This is progress compared to how Lester's looked his last three starts.

Buchholz and Lackey are well above average. Dempster is OK. Lester will probably not be a 6.00 ERA pitcher all year. Doubront has an xFIP of 3.70 with a BABIP of .358. He'll probably improve to at least average.

 

With the number one offense in baseball, good defense, and a strong bullpen, the Red Sox aren't going to fall off a cliff.

Thank you. I think some people just like to complain. If we had an elite rotation, people would complain we don't hit enough.
