Bad hitting intelligence on his part. Teddy ballgame would laugh at this clown. Not just for staring down great pitches to hit but because he turned down 200 million dollars so that he can prove to the world he's worth more. What an idiot. Like, what makes it so advantageous to you as a hitter where you'd completely watch a pitch right down the pike? Are you expecting something better? Trout would have crushed it.

 

Let’s retire the Trout comparisons.

I don’t think that they will sit there and let this train wreck continue for the rest of the year. It’s just hard to believe. Boston media will go apeshit.

 

They will pick around the edges of the issues they have with a few changes that don't really do much AND don't cost much, herald them as "giving them a chance" and playing for the WC, you can get away with that. IMO the chance that they would do enough to compete with this Yankmee team in the post season is zero.

Its not every year that we can measure ourselves v the Yankmees though we tend to do it out of habit. This is one year when we justifiably can and its not a pretty picture. But that is as much for what the Yankmees have done as much as we haven't. IMO, expecting DD to spring for big bucks is likely a pipe dream. Henry is not interested. His money is from the network and the carnival they run at Fenway every game.

 

I suspect Henry is curtailing DD because if the owner doesn't DD will lay waste to the franchise farm system and the budget all at the same time. Its inevitable with DD unless the owner steps in.

 

Jung let's not go overboard here they have zits on there ass too .1 bat 1 reliever 1 starter and we are right back in this mutha

I would put money on it sitting there. I can see quotes like "Its up to the guys on the field to do better"....they aren't spending any money for an impact pitcher.

Geezus, it over 81 games in and at best we come out of these two games having done nothing more than tread water. Before these 2 London games BEFORE them, we had to go .679 for the remaining games just to win 99. Do you think 99 wins this division? Do you think we were going .679 or whatever the f*** it will take now?

Trout would piss on Mookie's spikes and convince him it's raining

absolutely. He doesn't rate to be compared to that guy ever. And if harper wasn't so lucky and philly was so dumb to give him 300 mil, betts wouldn't be worth that much.

 

Is Harper even batting .250 this year?

Its not up to Dave. Its up to John Henry. If it were up to Dave he would have Henry selling his yacht, his houses, the Network and Liverpool. DD has a history.

Not even going to be an all star. Just another major leaguer I hate. He stinks and his contract drives up the price of everybody else making tickets more expensive. MLB needs to be more like the NFL where you can cut guys if they are not performing.

Do the same thing as yesterday. Make it close but in the end too hard to over come the s*** this bullpen produced.

Watch out for the Rays too. Wander's in the wings. Liberatore is going to be good. They'll be stronger over the next couple years. Yankees aren't going anywhere. This team needs to get better developing talent and spending money wisely and getting better value if they are going to be that special, dynastic organization they claim to want to be.

If I had to bet, DD will get us a somewhat over the hill closer which would still be better than whomever we toss out there to close now. The Bucket-o-fried chicken bum bullpen outside of that will have to take care of itself. Will help us get to the WC and that is about it.

Most ironic part of this weekend: the offense which had been struggling to score runs in the first inning put up a 6 spot and a 4 spot, all for naught.

We don't suck our GM has sucked we are the same group we need a few tweaks that's why many here are ******** it's taking so long .

 

Can you blame us? It’s been an embarrassment.
