Damn they should end the game and hand this pitcher the Cy Young award dug up from Don Newcombe grave.

[TylerD]

Just got home. Garbage.

Remy: JD was not chasing pitches last night.

 

Yea Jerry. He didn't have to. That guy was throwing batting practice.

 

If I could I would go back over the last two years and see how many of JD's hits were simply off of weak cheese or sloppy, rolling up to the plate Sliders. I suspect the bulk of his hits were that and probably by a wide margin.

[d-money]

No hits thus far wow.

[Swiharts Ghost]

We're getting melted by a bum.

 

Our lineup is a mess .I am tired of hearing it's not the bats ,it's both .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Splinter do you think it's to the point Dave has to trade a player like Benny ? I think it's inevitable now .

 

The SOX are not going to get a 'top shelf' pitcher for Beni alone. He'd have to be packaged with someone else and cash. Every game Beni plays his value decreases.

Typical of your 2019 boston Red Sox. A pile of hot inconsistent garbage. Someone needs to be fired for this s***.

Meanwhile he strikes out Bogart on high heat. This guy’s got good command.

 

I'm glad to hear someone has "good command" because my brain/body has anything but this. Jeez, it's stifling weather and I'm bumbling and stumbling.

Beni goes off for a three hit game about ever month or so. He’s very consistent. Then he goes back to his comfy & miserable 0-4.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Every at bat decreases the chance that JD will opt out.

 

Spot on ,now the question ,do we trade him this week ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DD should trade him immediately after his next 3-hit game.

Only takes 1 team to view him as needing a change of scenery trade .

[Station 13]

JD opting out is no-no

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A package of Beni and JD might garner a decent starter. However, JD's opt out clause may cause some AL teams to hesitate. He might be attractive as a rental for a contending team, but what contending team is going to give up a decent starter?

I was truly hoping you knew one lol

[jung]

Geezus Red Sox ...get in the batter's box and stay there. What....beni thinks he is something special? Vaz thinks he is something special?

I also doubt any NL team would be interested in JD.

So we're left with 1.5 OF for a foreseeable future?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Naw, I'm only here for shits and grins.

[TylerD]

And then I said... We could beat the Yankees LMAO!

Arizona ? 2.0

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, there's the slight chance that some GM of a non-contending team may, as someone here already mentioned, value Beni, believing a change of scenery might prove beneficial.

[d-money]

An embarrassing day thus far for this team. Running out of innings.

[Swiharts Ghost]

Maybe the Abreu thing wasn't just smoke .The offense is so inconsistent so you think maybe we need some leadership from him ?including the power bat.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DD should trade him immediately after his next 3-hit game.

 

Hopefully, before the deadline.

I'd be surprised if DD hasn't been shopping Beni around.

Don’t worry. We have an easy task coming up with Tampa and New York. Ugh.

[d-money]

Don’t worry. We have an easy task coming up with Tampa and New York. Ugh.

 

Could get ugly. I am just glad that the nfl season is around the corner otherwise this would be even more depressing .

[fxkatt]

Don’t worry. We have an easy task coming up with Tampa and New York. Ugh.

 

Yeah, this would be a BAD LOSS given what's ahead of us. Not inspiring to fans or players.

[d-money]

Can these guys do something?! Make it interesting!!!! Score two runs!!!!!
