Thanks Price for showing up, this guy is a wuss.

Pomeranz may struggles, but he battled. There was none of that in Price.

 

Spineless performance's more like it. His whole career seems overrated!

I know some have said the offense will come around. I want to believe that but just don't see it happening.

 

Maybe we can do what the astros have done. Great one year, 500 the next and then following year are world beaters!

It's not coming around. But it shouldn't be trash like this on most nights.

We had 1 hit that got out of the infield -- a single off second base. Pathetic. I guess that we just ran into some hot pitching.:rolleyes:

 

And yet people squirm when I say this is a .500 team.

we need at least one more real hitter - even a guy that just looks like he might be another hitter

We've got 3 years to wait out on the mistake contracts of Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez. Yes, I am considering Ramirez a mistake. He was a great complement to Ortiz. But, he doesn't have the ability to replace him like they got him to do. Until then, I think the sox are screwed. Those are the two positions that could use an upgrade. But, it'll be hard to eat all that money to do so. They're already on the verge of hitting the luxury tax and they don't want to do that.

This is Price last night, he was throwing BP.

I think it is safe to say, David Price was a reach. I don't blame DD too much for it though. When he got the job, he had to do something with this awful staff that he was given and David was one of the best pitchers on the market at the time. Unfortunately, DD didn't realize how crazy the city of Boston is and someone like David who is very sensitive, wasn't going to fit well. This city needs pitchers who are kind of jerks, Like Sale, or Pedro, or Curt are and was.

Ok this is Kershaw last time out

Notice Kershaw does a really good job at locating it to a certain area.

Wild applause. Well done. I'm not at all sure how to interpret it, but it's definitely intriguing.

I'm really sorry, Kimmi....

 

but I said at the time signing Hanley was a mistake. Especially since the only place to put him was LF, where he'd made 0 career starts.

Spot on. I supported the signing at the time, mostly because he was best player available, so I can't really complain too much now when it's turning to s***. Even at the time there was a huge asterisk called postseason performance. Now we find out how sensitive he is. I don't claim to know the whole story of this issue with the reporters, but to me Price is acting like a bitch.

I'm really sorry, Kimmi (pt 2)

 

but Cherington really did a number on this franchise. Horrible signings and laid the groundwork for forcing our hand into signing Price.

 

Thanks, Ben.
