6/27 @ Tampa Bay

[bowman]

I guess they just taught Erod a lesson.. He could be mentally lossed for a while. Too bad, He was one guy we thought would be a mainstay.

[d-money]

Holy s***, what a terrible slider. Time to head to Pawtucket.

 

Maybe out of baseball.

[iortiz]

Wonder what a hitter thinks when he goes to the plate after this mess.

[robert vonhalle]

Price, Wright and Porcello are just fine. The other 40% of the rotation is atrocious and it will sink this team. It is not the whole rotation.

 

you would think buchholz and rodriguez could fill the #4 and #5 slots!!!!!!well buchholz is shot out and rodriguez needs a third pitch!sox go nowhere with these two in the rotation!

[iortiz]

Who in the hell is this kid Snell? Can we grab at least someone like him, please?

[bowman]

Sox are making Snell look like Ron Guidry... I'm back to no one on this team is untradable,

[d-money]

When the last time this team had decent arms in the minors? They have had so many f***ing busts.

[bowman]

Butternut your guys don't listen to u. Run into a 3rd out... This kid Brentz reminds me of Reddick, a late blooma

[Youk Of The Nation]

You probably could have just made a Gamethread instead of a thread asking where it was.

[Maxbialystock]

Great double by Brentz and absolutely mindless baserunning. A runner going for a triple does so completely on his own, and Brentz was out by a mile. Still, he drove in two runs that might eventually mean something.

[Maxbialystock]

So far the Sox have 5 hits, and none by the first four hitters.

[Maxbialystock]

Finally, a solid single by Pedroia.

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. It sure looked as though the Ray pitched around Bogaerts to get to Ortiz. Four straight balls to load the bases.But he walks Ortiz to bring in a run and face HanRam. And HanRam K's looking. Smart move by the pitcher. HanRam was the guy to go after with a 6 run lead and the bases loaded. Strikes out looking at a hanging curve near the center of the strike zone.

He is apparently their top prospect. Must be nice to have a top prospect who is a pitcher. We have who-Owens? Uggh.

[Spudboy]

Nice throw by Layne.

[Spudboy]

Did the Red Sox feel compelled to find someone nerdier and more annoying than Rosenthal? Speier should be a food critic, not a sports analyst. I guess JH wanted someone that made him look like a he-man stud.

 

It's none of our business, of course, but has Speir ever been laid?

MiLB player of the year last year. 15-6 with a 1.+ era last year.

 

Tampa always seems to have outstanding talent coming up.

[NativeBostonian]

Just looked at the game. I guess E-Rod is going down to Pawtucket.

They're very good at finding ace type pitchers. Offense has been a bit of a struggle. The complete opposite of the Red Sox.

[Maxbialystock]

I think Tampa is also good at developing pitchers. The Sox clearly are not.

To be replaced by......??? Owens? O'Sullivan?. Thats the issue: there is no one else.

[Maxbialystock]

Just 1 single from the first 4 in the Sox lineup.

[bosoxmal]

Good thing I have a good book. One of Elmore Leonard's, RAYLON. The book is as good as this game is bad, so I'll probably last right to the bitter end.

[NativeBostonian]

Owens. Got to try something else.

[FredLynn]

Owens. Got to try something else.

 

I would have no problem with trying him one more time, but his ERA is over 5 and his WHIP this year in Boston is 2.108, which is awful. At the very least, Rodriguez needs to be sent down to get his act together. This version of him is not going to cut it. Still.....Owens??

Owens will probably suck ass too. But, can't keep going with E-Rod. He just gave up 9 runs in two innings to the worst offense in baseball.

[NativeBostonian]

They should invest in a baseball tee. Maybe that'll do a better job then half these asshats.

[Jasonbay44]

Its so frustrating that every f***ing night when I get home, I have to see another pitcher rocked. Can any of these dipshits have a good start aside from the top 3? Jesus Christ.

It's a shame, Johnson, Owens, Elias are not taking advantage of this situation. f***ing young players.

[jacksonianmarch]

Owens is done Station. I saw him in person yesterday in Pawtucket. He looked absolutely terrible. I remember SR's on him in low A with mid to high 90s heat. The guy couldn't even top out at 90 and his stuff sucked.
