[a700hitter]

Blame Farrell.Peavy had no business in this inning.

Yep. Stupid managing. He just got Peavy another L.

[BigPapi]

Never mind. What do I know. Nice hustle mookie.

[a700hitter]

Hit Man does it again!

[Station 13]

13 hits still 2runs

 

Let's change that here!

[BigPapi]

Pedey could use a dinger right here. Hasn't had one in almost a month.

I'll take a base hit! just let Papi hit here.

[BigPapi]

God damn it!

[BigPapi]

Have to win tomorrow. Tommorrow is a must win.

[RedSoxNC84]

Damnit Pedey...

[Station 13]

Pedroia isn't the same anymore. He's still a good player, he was an elite 2B from 2007-2013.

[a700hitter]

This bunch just doesn't know how to win.

Ops wise he is an average major league hitter.

[Bellhorn04]

Another brutal loss.

[Bellhorn04]

Gomes needs to be a strict platoon. Nava or Carp should have PH for him this inning.

 

No excuse there. Nava doubled and walked the last two times he pinch-hit, too.

[Station 13]

Ops wise he is an average major league hitter.

 

His career 116OPS+ is great for a middle IF. He's just around 100 now, average.

Yup.

[Wasatch]

We left too many men on base.

This is how I feel. I am no manager, that is clear! I don't have the detailed knowledge of MLB goings on. But seat of the pants assessment told me that as he approached 100 pitches, Peavey was gased and would put men on base or worse. As it turned out, my suspicion was correct. I do not know what Farrell saw or what he was thinking when he decided to bring Peavey back out. I'd like to think that Farrrell is able to see what I see. A starter that is fatigued and losing command. Duh!!!

 

I'm not a huge Farrell Fan and I am not someone who usually dumps on him. However, today, Farrell may have cost the Sox the game or at least made a stupid decision in keeping Peavey out there. I think sometime managers are stuck on the idea of match-ups instead of looking at the fact that the pitcher is actually doing this or that.

 

Peavey did look pretty good for much of the game just as he has for about the past 2-3 starts.
