4/1 @ Rays

[cp176]

Are we really complaining because JD Martinez hasn't hit a homer yet? Jesus Christ

 

JD is going to be just fine - Benintendi, Ramirez, JBJ, Vazquez, Leon - need to produce as well as others - hope it happens.

It’s only been 4 games.

 

Be a good series to get going against the Marlins. When we play the Yankees the pitching will be tough.

When will we see these men actually be the players we expected ? 4 games in and counting .

 

You are one caffeinated hombre, my friend.

Horrible call by the 3b coach sending Holt home with 1 out, a hard hit single to RF (strongest arm), and JD coming to bat.

 

In most cases, I can defend the decision as being 'aggressive', but in this case, I agree that it was a bad decision.

I think that Holt would have still been out if the throw had not been on target but that was a pretty good play out there in right field. It just looked off the bat that you would probably not send the runner from second unless he had great speed. I knew that Holt was not what we would call a speedster but he did look pretty slow to me. I was surprised at that. Still could be valuable going forward but I hope for his sake that the call is a little easier when they send him next time.

Oh f*** I am laughing. Maybe he is the Cornhollio of Sox nation.

It was indisputably a bad call because there was just one out with the bases loaded at the moment Holt touched 3b. Plus the 3b coach gets to poach down the line to make the call at the last possible moment, which was when it became clear Holt would be in trouble.
