Decides to make a game thread just to say how unimpressed I have been with Rusney over his first 10 at bats. Not a lot of hard contact and his discipline hasn't been so good. But its only 10 at bats.

Well he has to be better than Bradley so let's give the guy a chance. Besides $72 million tells me they're going to give him a big chance but just the same the Red Sox had better have a Plan B in case he peters out. We didn't for Jackie and look where it got us.

My thoughts exactly.

The season cannot end quickly enough.De la rosa stunk tonight.Idk how management will turn this around.Bogaerts has been dissapointing and bradley jr has been a bust.

Remember Castillo hasn't played baseball in over 18 months until recently. This is the reason Cherrington wants him to play in the AFL and the Puerto Rican league to get 200 ABs before spring training.

Bogaerts got everyone all hyped up when he had four or five games in a row of solid hitting but now he is back stinking up the place. The guy is a choker and if he Red Sox are dumb enough to think this guy will be a middle of the order hitter next season they will have been snorting something that will make them ill. He may get somewhat better but he will NEVER be the player the Red Sox envisioned and to those who drank the Kool Aid believing it. I noticed Bradley was once again in the lineup tonight and once again went 0 for 4 and is now at the Mendoza Line. What does he have on the Red Sox that they keep sending him out there when he stinks like a sewer at high tide......and in RF tonight no less. For the last week sit his sorry ass down and makes plans to get him out of town over the off season by plane, train, bus, ship or rail. Just get rid of him. He stinks so badly he gives me the hives.

Another crap outing from Dr La Rosa. The young pitchers have not made a good impression.

Bradley with another ohfer is at .200. He just keeps getting worse. If he plays anymore, he will likely sink under the Mendoza line. His OPS is .538 and sinking. He has had a season that could result in the ruination of his career. You would think that he would get an ocassional hit by accident -- a dribbler, a bloop, a seeing eye base-hit. Lol! He's hapless and hopeless.

 

Middlestinks with his pathetic power output of 2 Home Runs is OPSing at an even lower .516. He has also wrecked his career prospects. Unlike Bradley, he is also not a stellar fielder, so he has got nothing going for him. I guess that his biggest plus over Bradley is that he gets injured a lot so we don't get subjected to watch him stink every day. Bradley is durable and could play every day. He is like the joke about bad resort food -- the food is bad, but the portions are big.

You know Ted, I could kick myself in the ass over De La Rosa. I kept telling everyone who would listen that the Dodgers sold us a bill of good when we traded for him. I remember him from when he pitched for the Dodgers and he stunk then. Got behind the hitters and then let a fat one or two get reamed up the alley or into the seats. Again, I went round and round with a few who are no longer here about that too. When he on a few games with impressive performances I allowed myself to drink the Kool Aid even though I should have known better. Now he is looking like the turd I remembered seeing out here in LA. I will say this....he could revert back into a pitcher who impressed earlier but he will never be that big starter who we can depend on. He is inconsistent, erratic and dumb...... and that is not a bell cow you can depend on for a pitching staff. Why he cannot make adjustments and set up hitters better than he does is going to be an epitaph we are all going to have to swallow. Hey Cherington, go get us two solid starters this winter if you and the rest of us know what's good for us.

 

Kelly pitched well today and we finally won a series against Baltimore. Grateful for that. Kelly did come from the Cardinals organization where they seem to develop good young pitchers, something our organization totally seems to suck on.
