7/31 vs Tampa Bay

[Swiharts Ghost]

We deserve better pitching this team can score with last years teams

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I did predict earlier that by the time the SOX scored 5 the Rays would have 7 or 8.

[jung]

What is Kiermier doing in the first row of the CF bleachers? Its not like he can't go back on baseballs...good grief.

[TylerD]

Half decent pitching tonight and we would be winning.

[Swiharts Ghost]

JD is seeing the ball better that's obvios .

[YastrzemskI]

Big at bat for Beni here...

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Splendid I'm angry not at Dana at Dave for not firing and replacing this guy 8 weeks ago .

 

I'd love to believe a new pitching coach is going to turn those 3 underachievers around, but I seriously doubt it.

[Maxbialystock]

In the case of this hit, it was the ball that was seeing better.

[Station 13]

get Travis an at bat.

[Swiharts Ghost]

TD if Dave would can everyone in pitching Development it would be a start .

[Station 13]

well that sucked. Tough to keep catching up when relievers themselves put the game out of reach.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, that was not a difficult prediction.

[TylerD]

Outside of E Rod I just don’t trust this rotation. Can’t beliebe we didn’t make a single move.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

+10

[Swiharts Ghost]

Every game is high stress on this offense it's just too damn much to expect .Tne starting rotation has become the laughing stock of MLB

[jung]

Jung what does all that tell you hmmmmmm

 

Telle me Tampa does know how to develop pitching and then deploy it at the ML level.

 

There are two types of MLB teams as it relates to pitching, those that develop it and those that buy it. I have never really understood why teams that can buy pitching don't just BUY the coaches that would allow them to develop pitching because coaches are cheap and highly rated Starting pitchers are expensive.

 

But that is just not how it is done. Don't ask me why because the only answer I would have for you is that baseball ops organizations around baseball are not populated by rocket scientists nor brain surgeons either. If it were me, I would just scoop up the coaches and develop pitchers. But that is just me.

 

Also, just as an aside, development is done below the major league level. So I would not myself blame LeVangie for the lack of pitching development in the Red Sox organization. That decision is above his pay grade while the actual function of developing pitchers is below his pay grade.

[Swiharts Ghost]

So we even look at tape ? My God with anylitics and all that a staff has at there disposal ? Are these guys being tested ? Doubtful we have a problem Dave .why does Tampa and Houston have players that excel ? What a waste

[Tedballgame]

Kyle Hendricks, who throws 87 mph, is throwing a shutout tonight against St. Louis. Its called pitching. Some Sox pitchers should watch him pitch.

[YastrzemskI]

For all our struggles with the pen.. this kid Taylor has some fight in him.

I don’t get blaming the pitching coach.

 

The team President/GM decided to bring back last year’s team right down to the backup first baseman.

 

But not the bullpen, which he chose to ignore.

 

Ever since Kimbrel and Kelly left, the only pitchers brought in to replace them Colten Brewer and Josh Taylor,..

Everybody see how Beni struck out? The Rays pitcher threw a fastball and then a slider to the exact same spot spot on the outside corner. When he needed to for an out. The Sox do not have a single pitcher who do that.

You sir get it .I can't blame Dana for everything just what's on the mans watch and that guy needs to go a bout 8 weeks ago .

They must be disgusted with the pitching

It’s a sad when I trust the bullpen more than the starters now. Seriously I do. Outside of E-Rod

Exactly .Now why is that ? Way to much freedom and not enough study .

TD question ? What would it matter if they switched places ? Now that's sad because it may be a coin flip

So what you are saying is that he is completely useless. Just getting paid to shoot the s*** in the dugout and bull pen since he can’t even suggest or present tweaking certain pitching mechanics etc.. the truth is that the coaches do that at the major league level. It happens all the time hence, it is commented on during broadcasts.

"When I say whoa, I mean whoa!"

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

High fastball. "Can't touch that."
