6/21 RedSox vs. Oakland

[seabeachfred]

Since Ortiz hit 2hr's against the twins on 5/14, he's hitting 183/298/325 in 141 PA's

 

Yes win, Ortiz has not hit like he's capable of, but he has hit a couple of big homers that helped us win a couple of games. Since Drew came aboard and forced Bogaerts to third base, a move that had so many on this board clapping with approval, Bogaerts has stopped hitting, has gone from over 300 into the 260's, has not fielded all that well and for all I know his confidence has been shaken by that move. It never should have happened. Now let's look at Farrell's man crush, the miserable Stephen Drew. What the hell does he bring to the lineup? Nothing!!!!! He is hitting well below the Mendoza line and his fielding will never cover for his inept lack of hitting. Bradley is hitting 207 after two and a half months of play, combined with his miserable performance in ST and his equally lousy work in his short stays with us last year, is under 200.

 

Drew must be sat down, traded or released and we will never start winning until he is benched or gone. Keep this in mind for tomorrow. If Drew is benched we will win that game. If he is in the lineup we will lose. Hell, I almost think he is a jinx to boot, and, yes, I despise him. He turned down a good QO of $14 million and didn't get a an offer from anyone and like a bunch of rubes, suckers and idiots we signed him and lost a draft choice in the bargain. He needs to go!!!!!

Grab a dose of reality my young friend. Since Drew came on we have lose even worse than we did before he put his dead hand in the lineup, and we will keep losing until he is benched or traded. As for Bradley, he is not a winning ballplayer and he will never be a hitter. He has too many weaknesses and for some reason both these guys are favorites of Farrell and Cherington. They must be sat down.....then we will start winning. Tell you this RSFFL. If Drew is on the pine tomorrow we will win. If Bradley is also on the pine we will win by two or three runs. If they are both in the lineup we will lose again. With Bradley playing we can win as long as Drew is on the bench.

I'm usually a pretty positive outcome kind of guy(especially for a red sox fan), but I just don't see it happening this year. Best case scenario Drew, Peavy, Doubront, AJ, and Gomes play well up to the non-waiver deadline and are moved for some decent pieces. Bring up some kids and see what you have prior going into the offseason.

This sox team is third in era in the american league behind seattle and oakland.If only they had an offense that can score more then 3 runs.Gotta be stressful for a pitcher knowing the game could be over at 2-0 smh

The core of the A's are Red Sox rejects. Looks like Billy Bean is as smart as his Money-ball reputation. Keep in mind that Red Sox coaching is well over-rated. Farrell, etc. survive on luck and career years...not so good at coaching up sub standard performance.

Who is having or had a career year? just curious cause I've seen this posted in other forums also, the only one that comes to mind is Nava.

This is a horrendous offense. Nava, Drew, Herrera and Bradley. What a collection of s***.

Linda and I watched "Field of Dreams" tonight on the tube. It made me escape for something pleasant for a couple of hours. Now reality has set in again.
