Shaw doesnt want to give up his spot.

 

Good for him.

He isn't going down without a fight.

Defensive replacement for who? pedroia? X? No.

 

Why not? Have you watched the kid play SS in Pawtucket? He is at least a s good as X defensively. He can't hit but he gives nothing away late in a game with his D.

 

Still, Hernandez is at least average in the field and he does hit.

I just love Red Sox games on the West Coast.

 

Lol. I'm pretty sure you are alone in this!!!

I love Red Sox W's on the West Coast. If they're winning while I'm sleeping I can live with it.

If 2 guys reach in the 9th, Moncada will get another AB. Don't turn off your TV yet!

 

Kelly looked about as reliable as Kimbrel. He can throw as fast as Kimbrel. Watch out Kimbrel!

Neither Kimbrel nor Kelly has a good idea of where the pitch will go after it is released. The big difference between the two of them is that Kimbrel's ball has such movement that he overpowers most catchers and umps often get fooled by his pitchers. The batters really are helpless against him. Kelly's ball is straight and if his location is not perfect, most major leaguers can turn around his fastball. There is no comparison between the 2. Hopefully, Kelly can be useful late in games, but I will not have a secure feeling with him on the hill in the 8th inning.

And that is the nix on Kelly. Really good stuff but lack of command.

 

I'm curious how this has changed?

I am willing to sacrifice some sleep when the Sox win. When they lose, I think to myself, I gave up my sleep for this???
