5/27 Sox at Twins. Avoid the broom!

[a700hitter]

He's laboring this inning.

[Station 13]

Lately Porcello is not able to locate. This ump also gave the batters 2-3 extra ball when it shouldve been ringing their asses up.

[NativeBostonian]

The good news is, they are facing Phil Hughes.

 

Doesn't matter. They make a living making bad pitchers look good.

[Station 13]

Hanley a robust .500 OPS this month

[Station 13]

Wow this ump needs a kick in his nads.

[GomesBeard]

Dang it.

[RedSoxNC84]

i thought Porcello was supposed to be a ground ball pitcher.. He looks like he loves to serve up the homers now.

[Station 13]

Location is so bad today.

[iortiz]

Well, this is Rick f***ing Porcello ladies and gentlemen, but wait... he is young.

 

Whata way to waste money... again.

[a700hitter]

He is giving up too many home run balls this year. His gopher balls are way up.

[kapsis21]

wow this is pathetic.

[GomesBeard]

Pedey!

[NativeBostonian]

Good job, Dustin!

[a700hitter]

Two Homer day by Pedey. Too bad Porcello is sucking.

[Station 13]

Swihart is going to hit just fine. He makes good contact.

he's been serving HR all year long

Hopefully we win despite him.

[redsoxrules]

But if you take away his bad starts he's been great!

[iortiz]

But if you take away his bad starts he's been great!

 

LOL!... yeah! I feel better now.

[a700hitter]

But if you take away his bad starts he's been great!

And if the Queen had balls, she would be the King.

[Spudboy]

Those two ball calls on Hicks were bad. That started the rally hat buried Porcello.

[Spudboy]

Ugh.

[iortiz]

And if the Queen had balls, she would be the King.

 

6/10 of his starts have been horrendous. He is killing this team.

 

BTW.. just another HR. wow!

[Station 13]

Another game Ortiz, Panda, Hanley, Napoli does absolutely nothing. This is the REAL issue of this team.

[d-money]

This team just doesn't know how to win period! Long year:(

[NativeBostonian]

This is just unwatchable.

[d-money]

Need to clean house, cherington and farrell.

[a700hitter]

Need to clean house, cherington and farrell.

I think so. This team is in last place with little in the way of bright spots. They need to start changing personnel quickly. Bringing up the kid from AAA is a beginning. We will see if Wright can be consistent. It is time to break apart the horse s*** staff and rebuild in season. The hitting looks lifeless. Maybe Pedroia can light a fire in them.

[GomesBeard]

Napoli seemed like he was heating up, but the offense will only be as good as Big Papi. Nice to see Pedroia getting the power stroke going, but it's all really on Papi. Let's face it, they aren't going to fire either Cherington or Farrell during the season, probably not after it either. I think the issue is not so much how the team was constructed but underperformance - at least from the position players. If the offensive players were at their career numbers, the pitching - especially recently - should be enough to be competitive. Especially in this crappy division. Assuming they are still in contact with the top of the division in late June, and Hammels is still on the Phillies, I can see Ben making a move.

[a700hitter]

Counting today's game, Porcello has given up 11 home runs in 62 innings. That is exactly at twice the rate that he gave them up last season. Last year he gave up 18 Homers, and he is on pace to cough up 36 this season. That is alarming.
