8/8 @ Detroit, 2.0

[waltr]

No shift. Easier to do that. Goos show, old chap!!

[BigPapi]

An example of my earlier post----just need a single here. Homer would be great but one or two runs is more than no runs

 

Hows that?

[Thunder]

There's nothing better than seeing this:

[waltr]

Please----PUHLEEZE---- not Ogando

[a700hitter]

Too many Home Run given up by Taz!

[Station 13]

That's his first HR allow since May.

[waltr]

Methinks Taz has a tired arm

[Station 13]

Taz is reaching expiration this season. he was so good from 2012 till this mid season. I never seen him struggles as badly as he has lately.

[a700hitter]

I guess I am just mixing him up with some of the other bullpen guys who have given up a lot of long balls.

[waltr]

I can live with, and accept, Tazawa giving up a homer. I've come to expect it from Breslow and Ogando

[waltr]

Well, at least Bradley won't lead off the ninth

[waltr]

Well, at least Holt won't lead off the ninth

[Station 13]

Bradley and Holt: 11 LOB

[SoxHop]

So what's with Holt and second halfs?????

Weak sauce

[waltr]

Time to pull the Papi chain again. Play 1b or take a hike.

[SoxHop]

Well, scored 6 and lost..........

 

If it aint the offense, it's the defense, if it's not the defense it's the offense.....

Why do you hate the best hitter on the team?

[Thunder]

I'd say he had a pretty good game. He's the greatest clutch hitter of our generation. Relax.

[Jasonbay44]

Miley still f***ing sucks. there's that

This team is just like that.

Thats the problem of those who complain about certain great players lacking hustle. I personally think it's stupid to knock any great ball player for a lack of hustle. I would rather them hustle, but if they are performing well I don't find it a big deal at all if they don't hustle.

 

IMO, it doesn't matter how great a player is, a player is never bigger than the team or the game. Every player should play the game the right way, which includes always hustling. Papi is also a leader on this team. He should be leading by example.

 

He is one of my favorite players who gets a lifetime pass from me for what he's meant to the team, but I really dislike it that he does not run out his grounders.

He is a big man and an older player who has had leg issues in recent years. Over a 162 game schedule, even the legs of a DH get pretty sore. He has nothing to prove. I don't need to see him run hard on a one hopper to the pitcher and risk blowing a tire. Our offense is still centered around him. No one works harder at his craft-- and that is hitting and hitting for power. That's enough for me.

Papi we can live with. Ramirez not so much. When you have to wonder how you can hide a player in your lineup, you are going a little too far. They hoped that he could field a position. He can't. They don't want to move him or he doesn't want to move. If he was playing for someone else, he would not be missed. He is a dh and Cherington forgets that there is already someone filling that position. The last thing this team needs is one more player that someone wants to convert to another position in the field.
