Well I don't know if hobbled giraffe JD could have gotten there nor if he should have called off Holt. I do know that JD taking control of ANYTHING, any play at all in the field is an expectation that will not now or at any future date in his career be rewarded.

 

He has become Mr "you got it....yea you take it".

 

All true. The culprit, however, isn't JD; it's WTF.

Meanwhile the f***wits carrying bats today are once again distinguishing themselves vs J. Happ. Cannot imagine a more inconsistent team on the mound, at bat or in the field. Great one day and suck the next. Longest streak of the season is 6 wins. No wonder the WC faded away quickly in late August and early sept.

Vegas I've been singing this tune allll year this offense is way to inconsistent especially at Fenway .Please trade these chumps and Cora just looks dreamily into Dumb Danas eyes glazed .

I would love to have one of our Stat Mastersons to opine on the efficacy of swinging at 3-0 pitches. They are still bein g taken in huge quantities and are often middle-middle midspeed straight balls. Why ?? Are you looking for a walk in lieu of a Johnson or Porcello.

My advice, cue on a zone you like, if you see the ball coming there, swing hard and try to give it a ride. Don't stand there like you know some secret sauce for hitting.

I bet if a hitter got known for swinging regularly at 3-0 pitches, he would wind up walking far more often than taking 3-0.

I've got a pretty good feeling I'll be the only one here tomorrow night. But can someone at least show up to start the thread. I wouldn't want to ruin the SOX mojo by starting the thread after a loss. It's also against the law.

This pen plan has actually done well with the exception of Brewer.

 

And Brewer only made the one bad pitch to Encarnacion. The double that scored 2 was a weak fluky hit that could have been caught. Can’t really blame the pitcher on that one.
