6/13 vs BJ's

[Spudboy]

Not that the last play was anything great.

 

I am so much more relaxed and confident when a ball is hit to Bogaerts.

 

He really has become much better at every phase of his position.

 

In a season of comprehensive suck, his development has been a delight to see. Last year I said that I had not seen what scouts and evaluators had seen in him.

 

I can not say that anymore. Next year he will be a monster and possibly move toward becoming the best Sox SS ever.

 

Sorry Nomar.

[Northern Star]

I've gotten to the point where I can't give a f*** if they win or lose. The season is over as far as I'm concerned. Yes, they could go on some ridiculous winning streak and make the playoffs but that seems like a very remote possibility.

[Spudboy]

At least Hanley kept that ball in front of him.

[Station 13]

This game should be over.

[d-money]

Just terrible. This team just doesn't know how to win.

[Northern Star]

This game should be over.

 

It is now.

[d-money]

Blue Jays have won 10 straight.

[Spudboy]

Not surprised.

 

Just awful.

[VA Sox Fan]

Same old same old...

[d-money]

Just a s***** team. At least they will get another top 10 pick

[Northern Star]

Just one more loss for the magical 10 games under .500.

[mvp 78]

Another exciting game! Fans got their money's worth!

[d-money]

Farrell after the game, i liked our effort. I think we are getting close.

Closer to the number one pick in the draft...

[Spudboy]

Just a s***** team. At least they will get another top 10 pick

 

That is no consolation at all.

 

This team needs quality performers now.

[mvp 78]

I'd expect a surprise John Henry run in on the Sports Hub in the next week or so.

I've been busy the last few days, but if you guys want another 3 game win streak (or longer), just let me know. I am responsible for the last 3 wins.

So you're saying this streak is your fault?

Sorry Nomar.

 

During the brief stint we saw him in 2013, I was thinking, this kid is an assassin. He's cool, calm, collected and will kill pitching. I was a fan of this kid since we first have seen him.

 

I still think one of the funniest interview was by him during the WS run in 2013. He had only been up a few days, but did well at the plate mostly by not swinging.

I forget what the question was to him, and he said some thing like "they don't pitch me anything to hit, when they pitch to me I'll hit it, why don't they throw anything to hit for me, everything outside...... they pitch me a strike I hit the ball"

....... . I'm thinking, this kid has balls.

 

We heard about the defeive training and hoped it would take, or even be true for all that matter. The quicker step, the more range, but mainly I remember gaining a quicker first step. Seems solid now with some flashes of great glove. I bet you it aint a bad thing he is right next to Pedey and is taking notes.

 

Maybe he is allergic to 3rd base??????

 

I'm also on the Betts wagon. Seriously, that kid has been unlucky like I can't believe. Lately he seems overpowered and hits something weak. But he always seems to give a good at bat. He doesn't go down easily. He has been hitting it weakly somewhat. But like Xander, he is figuring it out. It will be fun to see him for years.

 

Swihart. He looks so young out there and has this look since day one of "what the hell is going on, and what the hell am I doing". But even though the batting average isn't there, from day one, he has been solid behind the mound. I forget he is a rookie when he is catching. I forget he is even there sometimes other than to say that was a good stop, and that is a good thing. Another 20 pounds of muscle and another year of looking at major league pitching he will be solid.

I just want to say something positive for a change.

 

That would be nice. It would be nice to read some positive comments for a change.

As long as it's a possibility, there is hope. Can't give up hope!

[Thunder]

So you're saying this streak is your fault?

 

No. Where'd you get that idea from?

[SoxHop]

Oh please Lord........ don't let us get swept again.......

I am in no position to say who starts the game threads and who doesn't, but I would say go for it Thunder. You're one of the few posters who are still maintaining a positive outlook, and your mojo seems to work better than anyone else's.

I'm not going to do it today, or for a while. I'm way too busy. I have exams this week, and then my brother's graduating on Thursday. All next week, I'm volunteering at the professional golf tournament in CT. Wedged in between those, like last night, are baseball games.

[Station 13]

What, you don't want to start a thread with E-Rod starting?

[Thunder]

Well, I did on Tuesday... Look what happened.

He pitch 6 scoreless inning without his best stuff. That is what an ace does.
