6/16 vs ATL

[Spudboy]

My objection would be on behalf of Postseason Panda.

 

I don't follow your idea here Bell. I am speaking of watching all these players for many games. Not just the playoffs or WS.

 

Fat boy got hot in the playoffs but from what I have seen of the three players he blows goats in comparison.

[NativeBostonian]

f***ing holt man. Give him a starting job.

[Spudboy]

I'm still waiting for Holt to be "exposed".

 

Everyone in baseball says the kid can rake except the experts at Talksox.

 

Go ahead and remind me of last year. Go ahead.

[Bellhorn04]

Cycle for Brockstar.

[NativeBostonian]

Did y'all see that the Kansas City Royals are projected to have 8 starters on this year's American League All-Star team?

[Bellhorn04]

If Mookie had homered we'd have two guys hit for the cycle today.

I would've had to run outside to see if pigs are flying.

Mookie is raking since the face plant on the fence.

That ain't good.

[Spudboy]

Castillo sucks!

[NativeBostonian]

That ain't good.

 

No, it's not. But, it'll make good television. Kansas City Royals versus the National League All-Stars!

[Spudboy]

Two bad plays in a row for the "rookie".

 

Deport him to Portland.

[Station 13]

LMAO our OF is a f***ing circus.

[iortiz]

Castillo sucks!

 

How much did he cost? 70 M? Another brilliant contract.

[NativeBostonian]

Mookie Betts is the only sure thing in this outfield.

[iortiz]

Hopefully 9 Rs are enough this time.

[Spudboy]

A WIN!!!!!

 

No thanks to Castillo.

 

NO! He does not suck! It's too early to make a call!!!

 

f*** that nonsense. The guy is unskilled and just not ready for MLB.

 

28 years old and a rookie that needs work. Okay. Good investment!

[Northern Star]

What the f*** did Ben see in him? Where was he playing and what were his stats?

[Spudboy]

From what I read back during the time before he was signed is that several teams were in on him. So there is the Sox defense, I guess.

 

The Sox paid a premium price for an unproved talent that was too old to be considered a prospect. He was slotted to be in the bigs almost instantly after not having played in about 1.5 years. Long ago I saw an interview where Ben said that most of what the Sox had seen of Castillo was in the World Baseball Classic. Lol.

 

I just don't see the logic in paying so much for an older player that has not played much and who is in need of learning new skills to play MLB ball. It was just dumb.

 

At least Moncada or whatever his name is will play several years of MiLB ball before he gets called up.

 

The Sox seem to be in on the Pet Rocks and Cabbage Patch Kid international FA. They should sign more guys like Tazawa and sign them to modest contracts or not sign them at all.

 

Glad it's not my money!

[Northern Star]

I don't know why they think it is a smart idea to play in the middle of the day. People have to work.

 

Both teams have to travel to Atlanta for tomorrow's game.

I was shocked when I saw his age - or what we believe to be his age. This is a totally unacceptable signing. I'd be willing to give benefit of the doubt if the kid was 21 or so.

[RedSoxNC84]

Brock hits for the cycle, I wish that mattered a lot more than it does right now.

[Northern Star]

I'm sure Castillo was a "so the Yankees don't get him" signing. How'd that work out with Dice-K?

[cp176]

18 hits is a good day. Great day for Holt.

[mvp 78]

The first few years of DiceK made up for the last few.

[Northern Star]

The first few years of DiceK made up for the last few.

 

But were even the first few worth $100 million?

[Northern Star]

I'm on record here from the start of the season, saying Holt should be a starter until he proves he's not. It was ridiculous how much he sat through his hot streak at the start of the season. Maybe he really is just a role player - but a supersub is an excellent asset to have. I am really glad for him today.

[a700hitter]

It's great to get a win, but sucked to miss it because of work.

[d-money]

Nice to stop the bleeding. It would be even nicer to get a winning streak going

[mvp 78]

Sure. It didn't hamstring the payroll at the time. It gave them a starter who helped them win a WS.
