8/7 @ Jays

[TylerD]

Poms at least looked pissed after that walk.

[Tedballgame]

Hembree coming in just in case Toronto is going to bunt.

[vegasbob]

Cora giving every possible reasonable doubt to Pom, and Drew fails. End of discussion on many threads, hopefully. DL him for lack of cranial-limb connection

[FredLynn]

s***** outing by Pomeranz...again. Five walks....no command. Get him out of the rotation please.

[d-money]

I would take him out. Offense hasn’t been good to this point.

[a700hitter]

I can see walking Smoak there, and I would have let Pom finish that inning. I don’t like Hembree with inherited runners.

[TylerD]

Well Poms has gone nearly 10 innings and given up only 4 runs. That’s a good thing...........

 

 

I’m trying to be positive ok

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I know Leon is catching to give POM all the help he can get, but I believe POM would be just as unsuccessful with SWI catching.

[iortiz]

Seems like Cora has seen enough. Probably it was the last time we see Pom in Red Sox uniform as starter. The bad news is that Hembree comes to the mound.

[jung]

Is swi back or is Butler still up.

 

Actually now that I think about it, could probably make the same case for butler

[TylerD]

Poms at least showing that he cares that he sucks. Looked pissed in the dugout.

[a700hitter]

s***** outing by Pomeranz...again. Five walks....no command. Get him out of the rotation please.

I though that his stuff was better today. It is the walks that are still the problem.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And with POM framing is not necessary.

[TylerD]

The question is. Does anyone think Poms can be successful with another team? Do what Clay Bucholtz is kind of doing. Or is he toast?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sorry, Butler is up, Swi still on DL.

[FredLynn]

He cares because he can see his contract for next year disappearing. I have nothing against Pomeranz, but the fact is that there are much better options. I would like to see him DFA'd as soon as ERod returns.

[d-money]

Need the offense to get something going. Getting a little late.

[Station 13]

Travis is no Shane Robinson.

Butter him up and apply the grape jelly.

Completely agree.

[FredLynn]

Its his overall command-and the fact that he can barely reach 90 with his "fastball"....along with the fact that he has only two pitches.

[TylerD]

Butter him up and apply the grape jelly.

 

Lol!!

[Station 13]

Take a strike fool.

[vegasbob]

Sandy getting the green light on 3-0. Do not swing again Sandy, he will walk you, NOT

[Tedballgame]

When Sandy Leon gets a 3-0 count, he HAS to take two pitches!

[moonslav59]

Pom has not looked good all year, and he's barely improving at all.

 

His record in 2016 and 2017 are formidable enough to not totally give up on him, but I'm not sure how much longer a leash you can give the guy.

 

It would be great, if we could trade him, pay part of his contract and get back below the max luxury tax line.

[Station 13]

Stupid AB for Leon.

[Tedballgame]

Sox offense hasn't arrived in Toronto yet.

[iortiz]

Its his overall command-and the fact that he can barely reach 90 with his "fastball"....along with the fact that he has only two pitches.

 

Well, it resumes pretty well what he is these days.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Will Leon ever get an infield single? Or is that as impossible as an elephant skating thru a revolving door?
