5/31 Joe Kelly's final start

[mvp 78]

RIP John Lackey trade.

[TylerD]

This will either motivate him to have a strong game.... or the ladder. Not sure I want to find out which lol.

[Spudboy]

What if he pitches just well enough to warrant another start in the manager's eyes?

 

I don't think that he deserves to start today, much less continue in the rotation. But the powers that be may.

[a700hitter]

Pedroia and his stinking hitting streak need to be sent packing. He and his unbridled enthusiasm are a drag on this team.

[Thunder]

Interesting game so far. We scored first. Time to party like it's 2004!

[Spudboy]

I'm pissed!

 

We experienced two power outages last night where I live. Now the satellite feed is ( Direct TV ) is limited to only a few channels. I have no NESN now. I have no way of correcting this as the feed is controlled by the property management.

 

Now I am watching the game on-line at some place called http://www.strikeout.co

 

There is poor video quality and some jiteryness.

[Spudboy]

I hate double plays hit into by the Sox.

Was the cause of the power outage weather-related?

[Spudboy]

NO! I have no idea what happened. I live next to RT.1

 

There was a cop car out there for about two hours or more. That may have had something to do with it. Most of the sat channels are not working. My guess is that the box that controls the sat system needs a boot. But the guy who does that has today off!!!! I called the complex office but they have not called me back. Balls.

[Spudboy]

Very bad feed by Bogarts. That error was on him, not Pedroia.

[Spudboy]

Beltre sure can spank a ball.

 

His D has slipped from what I have seen but he can still smash a ball.

[a700hitter]

Panda lost that ball in a fat fold.

 

His 5th error of the season.

 

Where is this plus defense that I read so much about in the off season. I never believed it at that time.

Yes, I agree.

[Spudboy]

Sloppy D causing the pitch count to go up.

You have common sense and functioning eyes.

 

And I bet you are not surprised that he sucks ass against lefties either.

 

He is basically a fat Cespedas without the long ball power.

[Station 13]

Why is our defense so bad?

[Spudboy]

Routine fly balls to left are an adventure. I have no confidence he will catch the ball.

[Spudboy]

Why is our defense so bad?

 

You have two hacks in the outfield and a sumo wrestler at 3rd.

 

Bad formula for good defense.

[a700hitter]

LOL! You have two hacks in the outfield and a sumo wrestler at 3rd.

 

Bad formula for good defense.

In fairness, he would only be in the jumbo weight division for sumo wrestlers. He would not be in the super jumbo class.

Donaldson hit another HR today.

[Spudboy]

Donaldson hit another HR today.

 

SO!!!!! He would not have been a big splash signing!!!! Don't you understand?

[Spudboy]

Another spectacular diving catch by Castillo.

 

Now we can expect another boob maneuver.

 

Kelly is at 100 through 5 and may be close to done.

 

I hate seeing him put the lead-off hitter on especially with walks but today he deserves better from his defense. He should be about 20-25 pitches shy of where he is at.

[mvp 78]

Boop

[mvp 78]

Unclutch, FYI...

[NativeBostonian]

What's is all this talk about this being Kelly's last start?

[Spudboy]

I was about to post that with a man on second and no outs the Sox would not score!!!

 

Lol. Well done Bogey and Hanley.

[Spudboy]

Great AB for Swihart.

[Station 13]

is Castillo really a $70M player?

[mvp 78]

is Castillo really a $70M player?

 

Yes, really.

[NativeBostonian]

is Castillo really a $70M player?

 

If we gave JBJ a year. The least we can do is give Castillo a month before we claim him unworthy of the contract.
