Richards needs to find a way to adapt since he clearly took advantage of the substances on the baseball.

For a while, it looked like just about everyone was suffering from the sticky fingers crackdown.

 

I'm not sure it was all related to that.

 

Richards was wild and unpredictable before sticky fingergate.

 

His leash is shortening with every piss-poor start.

If nothing else, he is still looking pretty suspect.

 

I'm not one to accuse without any proof, and a few bad games is never proof, but he absolutely is a candidate...

Yes, I'm not saying he wasn't one of the worst of the bunch, but to me you either did it or you did not. I'm not sure how the degree of how much you used it matters.

 

Maybe it helped him more than others, and that's why he's having a harder time adjusting to not being able to use it. Certainly, that could be the main reason for his recent meltdown.

 

My point was about him showing wild streaks all year, even before this recent stretch.

 

There is a chance his looking extra bad, recently is not all about the loss of sticky fingers.

I would move Richards to the bullpen, but if they are going to start Richards, I would promote Houck and use him if Richards gets off to another terrible start. Thus, option Rios to Triple AAA and promote Houck.

[Thunder]

Somebody wants to go to tomorrow's game with me as first date. Normally I would never say no to such things but after the week I just had, I need a couple days to get my energy back

[TylerD]

Yo!

 

I’ve had better insults. I was tired lol

Why Rios? He's pitching well. (Put Richards on the IL.)

0 GS as a MLBer. 74 App, 77.1 IP.

 

I'm not starting that guy.

 

If you move Richards to the pen, Andriese gets moved to the rotation. Not sure which option is worse at this point.

Red Sox have to face Danny Duffy tonight but it sounds like he's just going to be an opener as they are experimenting with his usage. In 45 innings this year he has a 1.81 ERA and 53 K.

I’m for cutting Andriese, yesterday.

 

Keep Rios and bring up Houck to start for Richards. IL Richards or demote to the pen. I’d even start an opener over Andriese and seriously stretch out Whitlock- something they have not come close to doing.

He was on the IL, right?

[mvp 78]

He was on the IL, right?

 

For about a month. Forearm strain.

[mvp 78]

Trying to keep Duffy healthy enough to be dealt at the trading deadline. FA at year end.

[TylerD]

Hope we keep this winning going!!!!

 

I won’t be active for tonight’s game. I’ll be watching the Stanley cup. But will check in periodically

Maybe Dugo needs the day off.

[illinoisredsox]

Maybe Dugo needs the day off.

 

The Sox are in the midst of playing 16 straight days, so I'm guessing most guys are going to get a day off sometime this week.

 

As for Verdugo, he's been scuffling a bit the past several days (I think he's 5-33 over the past 8 games with 9 K's) plus Duffy is a lefty, so it probably is a chance to give him that day off.

Exactly.

[d-money]

We already lost a series to these guys. They’re very pesky. They got swept by the rangers. Gotta be ready for these guys.

[d-money]

Richards needs a good outing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not gonna happen, but Merrifield would be the perfect fit on the SOX.

[d-money]

Richards has to stop with this ********.

[d-money]

2 hits already. Can we beat this team? This guy has been so damn hittable lately.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Richards, like Cole, proves that even the great ones can have bad 1st innings.

[d-money]

3-0 KC in a blink of an eye. I would seriously take him out right now.
