7/7 vs Miami Big Fish

[Thunder]

For all you pessimists out there, let me introduce you to a team. This is a team that it at war with their owners, more many reasons, but most recently, the hiring of their previously inexperienced manager, Dan Jennings, earlier this season. This is a team that is in even worse shape than our Red Sox. Y'all keep saying how bad the Sox are, with Cherington's dumbassery and Farrell's mismanaging. But hey, the Marlins have problems on all levels. Of course, with their owners, of course with their manager's experience levels, or lack thereof, and the players. In 2012, this franchise reintroduced themselves as the Miami Marlins, with a new complex color scheme and a brand new stadium with fish tanks behind home plate. At least they got out of the football stadium. But where did they go wrong? After 2007. Dumping Miggy was the worst mistake in their relatively short lifespan, and its been downhill since. They tried to get themselves a dream team, signing Jose Reyes and Mark Buerhle, but that didn't end well. It's part bad luck and part awful decisions in the front office. Mainly the latter. So, now here we are for a quick two game set in Boston, and we caught a break. No Giancarlo. No Jose Fernandez (in the series). All they have left is Dee Gordon. One thing the Marlins have shown is that one guy can win you a handful of games in a season. But the two guys that do that will not be seen on the field in this series. I'm sorry, Dee, but your amazing speed can only do so much. Yes, I know you have the best average in the NL, but unless you hit dingers like Giancarlo, you can't do it yourself.

 

RHP Dan Haren (6-5, 3.45) vs LHP Wade Miley (8-7, 4.53)

 

Come on now. It's Dan Haren.

[mvp 78]

Let me introduce you to a team that can sweep the next two series and still be under .500.

 

Plus, Porcello is still locked and loaded to go tomorrow.

Haren has a 3.41 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP against the Sox for his career, not too shabby. He's 2-7 against the Red Sox though, even though most of those losees came during better days.

[Palodios]

Facing one of the worst teams in the majors, without their two stars. If the Red Sox have any life in them, they win this series.

 

Then, they line up Buch, Erod, Miley against the Yanks. That's going to be must watch tv.

[mvp 78]

Shaw in starting lineup. How low can Napoli sink before they dump him?

[Spudboy]

As bad as Nap has seemed, his counting numbers are a little better than our 3rd baseman's.

 

Maybe we should DFA both.

 

I was kind of looking forward to seeing Stanton.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

After the AL East teams, this is the team I hate to lose to the most. Thunder you better make us win or else...

[Station 13]

There is always something shady about the Marlins. I hate their owners.

[Jasonbay44]

Dee Gordon is a hell of a player, but he seems to make a ridiculous amount of one pitch outs in games I've seen him play.. Maybe it's just coincidence, and he for some reason only does it when I'm watching..

[Jasonbay44]

Is Travis Shaw an actual prospect or he is an AAAA type player like Jeff Bailey was?

[Jasonbay44]

Hannigan has been on fire since he came off DL

Good memory. I had forgotten about Bailey. He was just short of being a big leaguer.

[RedSoxNC84]

I wonder why the Sox didn't sign Mo'ne Davis and have her start instead of Miley

[Jasonbay44]

Good memory. I had forgotten about Bailey. He was just short of being a big leaguer.

 

It felt like he was being called up and sent down numerous times every season for a few years, he could just never take advantage. Also, pretty crazy that Rojas has a higher BA than OBP. I haven't seen that in a while

[Jasonbay44]

2nd and 3rd nobody out and they don't score..

[Station 13]

LMAO bat them 7-8-9 tomorrow. losers.

[RedSoxNC84]

At least Miley is half way decent tonight

PSA: Wade Miley has been excellent the last 10 starts. He has 7 strikeouts already.

He was pretty mediocre the last time out except for the strikeouts.

 

Scratch that I think he only K'd two batters.

[RedSoxNC84]

Watching Ortiz-Hanley-Sandoval is just awful.

[Jasonbay44]

awesome

[Station 13]

Farrell doesn't give a f***.

[SoxHop]

Pulled a little too late I believe....

Here we go with the cherry picking stats again. His overall season has not been great at all.

He lowered his ERA to 4.50. He's a beast

[Station 13]

Miley outing was excellent. Farrell sucks at managing, as usual. f*** him.

[Jasonbay44]

Travis Shaw for Mvp

[mvp 78]

Well, I was wrong about Shaw it seems.

[a700hitter]

He lowered his ERA to 4.50. He's a beast

LOL!!! They are stubbornly clinging to that terrible 4.5 ERA

[BigPapi]

Miley outing was excellent. Farrell sucks at managing, as usual. f*** him.

 

What are you crazy? Miley would have had another tantrum if John pulled him after the sixth. John wants no part of that lol.
