Yankees vs Red Sox April, 22nd 2014

This last turn through the rotation was brutal. Doubront was the only one who turned in a good game.

I just can't see the Yankees going anywhere with this team. Their infield sucks, and their pitching looks very tentative. They have been lucky with Tanaka and Pineda--so far. This isn't a championship Yankee team.

Ells will be with them for 7 years. I am not going to close the door on them for the next 7 seasons.

[Youk Of The Nation]

3.5 games out in late April. BLOW IT ALL UP!

 

Okay, yeah, this game sucked, and having Ellsbury be such a big part of it is awful to watch, but it's nothing we haven't seen before. Tomorrow's a new game, let's win that.

I wonder how much A.J has affected this pitching staff as well.Salty was a strikeout machine but he worked well with the pitching staff behind the plate

 

Salty's doing a little better than Ross so far this year. He was better than Ross last year as well, but Ross got a couple clutch hits in the playoffs to steal Salty's thunder. I'd rather have Salty instead of Ross, but with AJ I'd say we aren't worse at catcher this year.

Papi's bomb was a tape messure, 482 feet

Wow!

[Station 13]

Stanton got the longest this year though, I believe his was 484. Yeesh he hits bombs.

[Station 13]

Just another game they waited till the middle of the game to score. Much of the poor offense has a lot to do with the 1-2 table setters on this team carrying .200OBP. At least Pedroia has come around. Bogaerts' .400 OBP is being wasted down there, put him in front of Papi to see how he hits.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Using a game in which Lester was getting owned by everyone as an example of why Ellsbury is worth his obscene contract shows a pretty significant lack of intelligence.

I agree with this. As someone who was rooting for the road team tonight, it was nice to have Sizemore coming up in front of the big hitters.

Salty sucked with the pitchers. You all bitched about him every f***ing game. Stop the revisionist history.

[Bellhorn04]

In 21 games the Sox have scored a total of 2 runs in the first inning.

It would be amusing to bring up some of the choicest comments here about Salty from his Sox career. You could put together a roast of him that would go on for hundreds of pages.

RSFL, there wasn't a single poster making the argument that User stated. He's just ridiculous. Edited April 23, 2014 by a700hitter

Salty sucked, there's no denying that, but the gopheritis with AJ catching is concerning. Then again, it's clear he frames better and moves better behind the plate, so it's probably just a familiarity thing and will sort itself out.

That's the pitcher's fault. AJ's too!

[jacksonianmarch]

I wish I could have watche the game. Aside from two at bats, it looks like Tanaka has his way with the sox hitters. I was expecting a pitchers duel, not a blowout. I'll take it! Pineda on the bump tonight

[SoxSport]

Downright embarrassing. World Champions looking like chumps before the home crowd. And Victorino playing in Pawtucket instead of Fenway last night? What beancounter made that decision?

 

The tweets said last night they were going to keep Vic in Pawtucket and bring up a reliever. Saner heads prevailed this morning and Nava is getting optioned. Workman, one of their better BP guys, seems to have disappeared.

How dare they not rush a 30 year old OF back to the majors off of an injury? Those pesky beancounters!

SoxSport makes me wanna punt puppies AND kittens at the same time with his nonsense.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Halfwit beancounters like Ben the Boob and Boy Wonder are the reason we've only won 3 world series in the past decade instead of 10!!!! Damned kids and their computers!!!

[mvp 78]

Sox need a real GM like Lou Gorman! I liked him because he was old snd wore his pants super high like me!

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Red Sox fans are so spoiled after 2004. They expect a championship every single year. Think being a Red Sox fan is hard SoxSport, try being a Cubs fan.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

How about that Jim Hendry, now THERE's a guy who knows how to run a baseball team! He's a man, not a beancounter! Only mistake he made with the Cubs was firing Dusty!

Ditto.

 

An infusion of intelligence and baseball knowledge would do this board some good.

Cubs fans don't give a flying f*** about winning. They just want to go to a day game, get drunk, sing take me out to the ballgame, and throw home run balls back onto the field.
