9/5 vs Blue Jays

[a700hitter]

Basically, Mr. Dweeb is pointing out what many of us have been saying here -- that we have no one in our lineup that scares a pitcher. There is no star.

[Station 13]

erod luck Bautista didn't hit it into the masspike, ahead 2-0 and a hanger down the middle.

[d-money]

This team's folding like a cheap suit and it makes me sick. They're are some veterans on this team.

And OB, who announces every game every season, needed stats to prove that to him. Once again, the numbers have supported my opinion that I formed on day one before there were stats for the season.

Betts has been a complete flop since May. No power. No production. No threat.

I don't care what they have but it's ridiculous the way they're folding. It's at home as well. They deserved to be booed off the field.

Gold Glove Moreland

Ya. I'd like to ask him how many teams have an OPS+ of ~100 up and down the order, and what the 2017 Red Sox look in that regard. IOW, is there anything to be said for being consistent throughout the order as opposed to having some players with a high OPS+ and others with a low OPS+.

Eat s*** xander

Is anyone sick of Xander Bogaerts?

[bowman]

If we don't come out of this funk, and nose dive, what do we do about next year.

[Carpin]

Maybe we finally found an excuse to can his ass, without having to admit he sucks as a manager.

 

If he didn't know he's an incompetent, if he did he's a cheater; they should fire him either way

[mvp 78]

Moreland needs to pick that.

[a700hitter]

The era of physics in baseball! LOL!! Most baseball players can't even add.

I've been thinking of him for some time as "Mr Overrated".

What's that? We can't win the ALE because we don't hit enough home runs?

[bowman]

Right now Farrell and Chili have to be on the hot-hot seat...

[d-money]

The blue Jays have nothing to play for. Just being spoilers.

[Jasonbay44]

Mookie just made another solid defensive play to ensure Bautista didn't score on that play

[S5Dewey]

Mookie made a statement with that throw. "Don't even THINK of running on my arm!"

[a700hitter]

I wouldn't ooh and ahh over that play too much. It was little more than an IF popout.

 

Edit: And there is a 36 year old on 3rd base.

[bowman]

Thank you, about a month or so ago X and a few others no way get traded for Stanton. Now, who the f... wants em...

[Station 13]

That was an accurate throw from Betts.

[SoxHop]

I think I have overrated Betts, JBJ, and Xander. Do you all think this year is more Betts, or last year?

[S5Dewey]

My standards are notoriously low. I think of things in terms of what *I* can do. :-)

In between.

Bautista probably would not have run on you either if he hadn't seen you throw previously.

Gift calls

[SoxHop]

I got another one for you all. Is Hanley hurt, or just a down year?

I think Mookie is a solid bet for 5+ WAR every year, gold glove defense and .280/.340 with 20+ homers, 20 steals and 80+ RBI. He wont be as good as 2016, but wont hit this bad. I think he's inbetween.
