7/18 Baseball returns

[BigPapi]

Its funny how Brock Holt goes from having one of the worst averages on our team to the best in a span of a year.

[Station 13]

Yup. When he gets challenged even by alright heat, his bat is just too slow.

 

Does he still use that long bat?

[NativeBostonian]

I think if the Red Sox get a outfielder and send JBJ down, it'll help them a lot to get back into the race, if it isn't too late.

[a700hitter]

He still doesn't have the bat speed.

and I don't think you can learn bat speed.

[NativeBostonian]

Clay has looked good of late. Let's hope he can keep it up.

[BigPapi]

Jackie Bradley use to be a switch hitter?

[BigPapi]

That was a crazy catch

[Thunder]

That was a crazy catch

 

3-5 on the out.

[Wasatch]

She has a story now!

[NativeBostonian]

Lucky that girl is a little cute.

[NativeBostonian]

Come on, Buchholtz. Get your s*** together.

[BigPapi]

Just keep the deficit at two cause 5 runs is highly unlikely for this team.

[a700hitter]

Can Buchhol stick his glove out once in a while?

[BigPapi]

Can Buchhol stick his glove out once in a while?

 

I know right. He could have caught that liner back at him but instead pulled his glove back into himself.

[NativeBostonian]

Maybe he doesn't want to screw up his new manicure.

[a700hitter]

I think he is letting the team work with what it has. There is a lot of untapped potential in the offense. If the team can sneak up to 5 games back, I see him making a trade for a bat... at 10 games back, it isn't worth wasting the prospects.

This lineup isn't going to sneak up on anybody. There isn't a lot of potential there. There is a lot of hope. Without a miracle, this group goes nowhere. They need Victorino in the lineup and another hitter.

[a700hitter]

It looks like Buchholz's big turnaround game was more a function of the opponent being the Astros.

[BigPapi]

This stupid infield hits are killing us.

[Wasatch]

Have not seen Mr. Headphones behind home plate in a long time.

Could be, but I also don't know why they juggled the rotation so that he would start two games in a row. Usually the Sox give their starters as much rest as possible. Here's a guy who's not the world's most durable, not far off the DL, with a pretty high pitch count last time out.

[BigPapi]

These Royals have less power than the sox. They're dinking and dunking us to death.

The line drives and wall balls haven't helped either.

Managerial genius.

[Station 13]

Red Sox needs a lot of work to field a competitive lineup. If they let the kids settled in, expect 2015 to be very long.

[BigPapi]

Maybe the sox should go all 2011 Phillies and have a stacked rotation. If they can't find good hitting, just make a shut down rotation.

How many playoff series did Atlanta win with their HOF rotation in the 90s/2000s?

True but hey, if they can't find offense, why not

[BigPapi]

X man

[Wasatch]

Let's go Ross!

[BigPapi]

There you go johnny!
