    Is 3B coach another organizational weakness? Sveum, Hale, ..... now the hits keep on rolling. Not even close. Given how short Lowrie hit that ball and Markakis' arm, I said hold him as soon as the camera angle changed to show its trajectory.

    Awful. Guthrie sucks and he just mowed them down.
  3. ORS
    I'd prefer he did nothing. Literally. Go up there and just watch as many pitches as it takes to walk or strikeout. He's awful right now. He should send Brett Gardner a nice bottle of wine or something, because Brett's the only reason Crawford isn't the worst LF in MLB (so far).

    The results if they lose.... http://diannej.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/79.-I-m-as-mad-as-hell-and-I-m-not-going-to-take-this-anymore_imagelarge.jpg

    BPhholz.

    He looks like he did the year after the no-no, in other words, like a self doubting sack of goo. Get this headcase a shrink.

    None of those 5 years are complete years. He was jerked around constantly. In essence, he's had 5 rookie years, having to make an adjustment for the level of play 5 different times. While their situations are not identical, Varitek's rookie campaign, at a minimum, should give pause to overreaction, and that's all I'm looking for.

    He did? He hit .253/.309/.407 as a 26 y/o catcher (Salty's age this year), playing in 86 games, then he was given the starting job. Saltalamachhia's career line in MLB is .245/.312/.379, in over 250 games. Hard to draw a hard line there. Both were not very good behind the dish to start. I think some patience is warranted.

    Maybe a couple of years down the road, if he keeps this up, but he's far too green to warrant the kind of attention it will take to pry a pitcher as good and as young as Hernandez away.

    Sorry, Palodios, had to maintain the theme. We don't need venegeful gods of mojo.

    Can you justify this statement? The only thing holding Ellsbury back from stolen bases has been an inability to get on base. He's clearly got a green light at all times (70 SB one year ... more than Crawford). I can't imagine the same won't apply to Crawford.

    Ranaudo 4.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R (all unearned), 1 BB, 8 K.....0.46 ERA on the season.

    Let's see, 19 games in, so 143 + 162 + 162 .... 467 more games.

    Nunez about hit his own toes with that throw from LF.
  20. ORS
    Guillen overmanaged the situation there. I let Sale face Jones rather than letting the Yankees use a LHH off the bench in that park. Worked out in the end thanks to Captain Groundout, but it wasn't due to good strategy.

    I don't think Crawford has the arm. Beltran has the range, arm, and adds roster flexibility being a switch hitter. Drew and Cameron's contracts both expire, so they'll have the payroll flexibility to make this kind of move. I realize several players have escalating contracts, but it's pretty clear they are mostly interested in the AAV relative to the luxury tax threshold, so most of those (everyone except for Gonzalez and Buchholz) are already figured into this year's number. I figure Ortiz and Papelbon, two more expiring contracts, are brought back for total dollars that are equivalent to what they make combined this year, assuming they continue to show they are worth bringing back, which they have done to date this year. Beltran makes the most sense.

    Gameday has both calls correct. The pitch to Jones was off the plate, the called strike to Reynolds was in the zone.

    Ellsbury is starting to hit like he belongs at the top. He keeps this up, I suspect they'll start to be little more cafeful with him, then the patience needs to kick in, or he'll go back to chopping it weakly around the IF.
