8/14 even more Dbags!

[Station 13]

f***ing Dbags! Sweep them back to the canyon.

I'm thinking that Sox fans should start chanting "Grenke, Grenke " early in the game.

 

Maybe that would bring out his social disorder and incapacitate him.

 

It's worth a try.

[Kimmi]

As with yesterday's game, I don't care how you do it, just win.

 

Win, win, win!

Rare lineup today against righty Greinke: no consecutive righty hitters. Pedroia, Holt (at SS), Betts, Ortiz, Ramirez, Bradley, Hill (righty hitter at 3B in for Shaw), Leon, and Benintendi. Overall, four righty bats and five lefty.

 

My guess on Bogaerts is he is out against a righty because of the slump which was especially noticeable last night. But Shaw? Maybe a rest? Maybe his defense?

 

I used to think our big problems were the bullpen and the up and down hitting. But now I recognize that the only liability we have today is Farrell, who, judging by the steady bombardment of comments, has no feel for the game, no sense of when to make a move and when not to, no understanding whatsoever of his bullpen, no sense of how to assemble a lineup, no rein on the reckless baserunning, and a softness for players who make errors at the worst possible moments.

 

This just goes to show you what a fantastic team Dombrowski has assembled--great rotation,especially with the additions of Price and Pomeranz, great bullpen (with the additions of Kimbrel, Ziegler, and Abad), and great lineup with the additions of Young and Hill and that catcher guy. These guys are now 11 games above .500 despite the worst efforts of Farrell.

He is a terrible manager, but it isn't all his fault, but probably enough to have kept the team from first place.

Great bullpen?

[Jasonbay44]

Yay, more sarcastic comments defending Farrell. Lets all take a moment to appreciate how good Farrell is at his job. Maybe today Ortiz can be on 3rd and he can pinch run for him with Craig Kimbrel!

lol!

[d-money]

Need the sweep here. Need it. Hope porcello continues to do his thing.

[Station 13]

f*** you Farrell.

 

Obligated pre game Farrell trashing.

[Station 13]

Rookie mistake.

[a700hitter]

WTH Benintendi! What kind of throw was that?

[Jasonbay44]

I really enjoy watching GoldSchmidt play (not against the Red Sox). I have him on my fantasy team every year so I watch him a lot when I can. he's such an all around stud, he's a 1B with 17 stolen bases that hits for average, power and is good fielder.

[Jasonbay44]

Nice work Porcello.

[Station 13]

Porcello got as much swing and miss already as Clay all game last night.

[a700hitter]

Porcello carved up those three hitters.

[Station 13]

Check again, he might got more already.

[Station 13]

Wow, great job working around the error.

[Station 13]

Been a while this team steal bases.

[Jasonbay44]

MOOKIE!! I love this guy

[Station 13]

thats why he bats 3rd!

[a700hitter]

Betts!! 2 run bomb!

[Nick]

I hate Holt as Sox starting LF....but I love the kid when he's filling in......today at SS.......he's a super sub and very valuable to a ball club in that role.

[Nick]

Mookie is the best of killer B's....I'd extend him right now

no need yet with him only has 2 year of service time, revisit in 2 year.

[Jasonbay44]

no need yet with him only has 2 year of service time, revisit in 2 year.

 

But he's so damn good that he'd be worth extending now, on a deal similar to what Trout got after 1 year.

[Nick]

Well at least we have one professional starting pitcher on this team

[a700hitter]

Cobb Leon with another hit!!

[Station 13]

Nintendo !

[Bellhorn04]

Gotta love having a couple of .390 hitters at the bottom of the lineup.
