8/11 v Angels

[Tedballgame]

It’s a disgrace to have somebody like Owings playing for you.

[Tedballgame]

I bet the DFA him tomorrow.

[Station 13]

How the f*** did this clown made it to fenway?

[illinoisredsox]

I'm not the one punishing Porcello; he's being punished by the opponents he pitches against.

 

Porcello gives up runs but at least he usually takes 5-6 innings doing so.

[Jasonbay44]

I seriously can’t believe Chris Owings is starting and hitting lead off for the defending champs.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least Owings will get a pay raise for this game. I doubt he even brought luggage.

[Tedballgame]

Has anybody ever been DFAed during a game?

[Maxbialystock]

They should have kept Marco on the 25 man roster.

 

He's one of the few guys that was doing better than expected, and who we might need to learn more about, so we can think about using him in 2020.

 

Prophetic. Owings has no business wearing a MLB uniform, with the possible exception of bat boy. Sadly, the Angels knew this before Cora did.

[Tedballgame]

Total disgrace.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Porcello gives up runs but at least he usually takes 5-6 innings doing so.

 

I admire you for defending POR, because I doubt even Perry Mason would take this case.

[Maxbialystock]

Seriously. What was Cora thinking?

[a700hitter]

I seriously can’t believe Chris Owings is starting and hitting lead off for the defending champs.

After Sam Travis batted cleanup yesterday, this doesn’t surprise me. Another stupid Cora move.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I seriously can’t believe Chris Owings is starting and hitting lead off for the defending champs.

 

All I can say is WTF!

[Tedballgame]

Taylor can be effective when his slider is working.

[a700hitter]

Cashner was a trash heap acquisition. Next step for him after the Red Sox is the dumpster. The guy sucks.

[Tedballgame]

With the Red Sox struggling, how in the world does Mookie need a day off?

[illinoisredsox]

I admire you for defending POR, because I doubt even Perry Mason would take this case.

 

He’s had a s***** year. Cashner’s has a s***** career.

[a700hitter]

Taylor can be effective when his slider is working.

Like the rest of our bullpen, he is a AAA arm.

[FredLynn]

Why punish Porcello? Ever looked at Cashner’s track record?

 

Both are past their prime, but unlike Cashner, at least Porcello had a prime.

 

5.67

 

Nuff said.

[Tedballgame]

Taylor got more swings and misses that inning than Cashner has all season.

[Maxbialystock]

Porcello gives up runs but at least he usually takes 5-6 innings doing so.

 

True. But when he leaves the game, there is a bad odor left by that ERA of 5.67.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cashner was a trash heap acquisition. Next step for him after the Red Sox is the dumpster. The guy sucks.

 

I believe the O's would take him back, which in a way is similar to a dumpster.

[Tedballgame]

Taylor throws 96 and has a good slider when he is on. I think with a little more experience he will be an option next year out of the bullpen. It’s hard to find good left-handed reliever’s.

[Maxbialystock]

Like the rest of our bullpen, he is a AAA arm.

 

 

I’ll take Workman’s arm over any of the starters, this year, anyway.

[FredLynn]

Porcello gives up runs but at least he usually takes 5-6 innings doing so.

 

That sounds a lot like a business that is losing money on every transaction, but they "make up for it in volume".

[a700hitter]

He’s had a s***** year. Cashner’s has a s***** career.

In his 5 seasons with the Red Sox, Porcello has had 3 atrociously bad seasons, 1 meh season, and 1 stellar season. Overall, he benefited from his contract more than the Red Sox have at $22.5 million/yr.

[a700hitter]

Taylor throws 96 and has a good slider when he is on. I think with a little more experience he will be an option next year out of the bullpen. It’s hard to find good left-handed reliever’s.

We have 2 major league arms in our bullpen, Workman and Barnes, and I would not be upset over losing either one next season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I’ll take Workman’s arm over any of the starters, this year, anyway.

 

Might be interesting what the SOX plans are for him next year. He definitely has the stuff to be a starter, but can the SOX afford his absence in the BP?

[a700hitter]

For DD finding any good options in the pen is difficult.

[a700hitter]

Sure they would; they’re paying most of his salary anyway. The Sox are on the hook for about $1M.

And his performance doesn’t even justify the $1 million.
