7-3-16 and "Nice Guys Finish Last"

[bosoxmal]

A day that will live in infamy (to re-coin a phrase). I, for one, learned a lot from that game. Without naming names, I have come to the conclusion that several players on this team have a poor mindset, and give up when the game is finally out of reach. A few did not.

 

While it's not fair to directly blame JF for this outrage, but it is still a fact that JF is too nice a guy to be managing a bunch of kids. I look at him on the steps of the dugoutm and see Leio Durocher across from him in the other dugout saying, "John. nice guys finish last.)

[bosoxmal]

Mookie still in the lead-off spot. How unimaginative can JF get? Maybe he'll drive in another run today, but it could tahe a HR and 2 doubles. He and Ortiz should be back to back. Does JF ever look at the numbers? Does he know that the best (or second best) hitter on the eam who has poewr is wasted in the lead off spot. He;s got Holt, who takes a lot of pitches and is a singles hitter or Bradley. Betts is wasted up there!

Stupid play by Escobar, why challenge JBJ in that situation?

[TylerD]

Just tuning in...... I'm. .... confident.... that we can win..... ugh

[Jasonbay44]

O'Sullivan allows 2 of the three guys to get on base, but faces minimum as Escobar and Trout both make base running mistakes. Lol

[NativeBostonian]

Stupid base running by the Angels there. They should have score in that inning.

[TylerD]

By this time yesterday the game was lost lmao

[TylerD]

Pitching is a breath of fresh air today!

Its only the 3rd inning and O'Sullivan has a solid history of being a bum.. I'm not confident.

[Jasonbay44]

What a f***ing play by JBJ!

Tushay but after yesterday I'm confident it can't be any worse... I really hope I don't choke on those words later

Farrell team of idiots.

[a700hitter]

More outs on the bases.

[TylerD]

f*** this offense is so inconsistent . Our pitching is giving us a chance here.... offense needs to do something . We just looks dead the last 4 games. Sick of getting on base and nothing happens. We must lead the league in that stat

[a700hitter]

O'Sullivan is a poor man's Joe Blanton.

We are at the bottom of the league in pitching so it doesn't matter. The problem is not our offense.

Joe Blanton during his best years as a mediocre starter would sure look good right about goddamn now.

Sad but true.

True but it cost us a game against Tampa and not looking very good today. Our pitching is dreadful but the offense lately hasn't looked very good either

[Station 13]

More outs on the bases.

 

Playing hit and run with Betts is f***ing dumb.

[a700hitter]

Sad but true.

Sometimes the offense will not be there and will lose us a game here and there, but it is not the problem that needs fixing. They are pretty good.

[NativeBostonian]

This is a very serviceable start for this kid.

[Spudboy]

I'm still waiting for O'Sullivan to turn into a pumpkin.

 

The Sox have gotten their moneys worth from him today.

 

5 innings with no runs.

 

Of course Farrell will push his luck right up to the 7 run rule.

sox are not the smartest base runners around either!

[TylerD]

O'Sullivan is pitching a hell of a game..... I'm..... surprised

Don't jinx it lol! He's lookin extremely good and confident today.... then again I said that about Clay yesterday and look what happened.

[Station 13]

[Jasonbay44]

[TylerD]

[Jasonbay44]
