    It is time for Gonzo to start to earn his money.
  2. a700hitter
    Rizzo is 4-5 against the Mets tonight with his 4th HR (Gonzo has 6) and 3 RBI.

    If more TalkSox members met each other at a game or for a drink or just for a few minutes to say hello there would be more mutual respect shown here. When people meet each other and there is a realization that there is a real person on the other side of cyberspace, things wouldn't get so nasty.

    The Yankee announcers mentioned that Lowrie was traded for Melancon and then mentioned Reddick and proceeded to hammer our FO about lots of moves, and deservedly so. They have done a terrible job for the last 3-4 years.
  5. a700hitter
    No bench means we have to watch Punto be helpless in big spots in big games.
  6. a700hitter
    Probably better than Mauro Gomez.

    If that was our IF, Aviles would have bobbled the ball and even if he had caught it, our third baseman would not have covered the base. That's what good baseball looks like.

    When they score 4 or less runs the Red Sox record is atrocious compared to other teams: Red Sox 6-34 (.150) Yankees 13-24 (.351) Tampa 18-37 (.327) Angels 16- 28 (.364) Guardians 17- 29 (.370)

    At times, the fans know more. The other thing that was so ill-conceived about this conversion is that it should have been attempted in the minor leagues, not the major leagues. He had never had a start at AAA or AA on his way to the major leagues. What were they thinking when they put him on a major league mound to do something he had never done at any high professional level.

    Get use to seeing more free passes of Ortiz until Gonzo proves he can still go deep and he reclaims the cleanup spot.
  11. a700hitter
    37,000 people fainted at Fenway when Punto hit the ball off the wall.
  12. a700hitter
    No. Pitchers who give up 6 runs in the first 2 innings but give up nothing the rest of the way had a bad day. No Jeckyll and Hyde, just Hyde.

    Per David Cone: Since Youkilis trade, Red Sox third basemen are hitting .122.
  15. a700hitter
    7 run rule is in effect.
  16. a700hitter
    But for the 1st inning, he has a quality start going.
  17. a700hitter
  18. a700hitter
    it's not his fault. he is trending in a positive direction since the first inning. It's the offense that sucks.
  19. a700hitter
    They have both pitched like #5 starters this season. They are not even remotely ace-like.
  20. a700hitter
    And Beckett is at 6 runs and he isn't out of the second inning. if we eliminate the first inning, this would be trending towards a quality start.
  21. a700hitter
    He could play first base or third base, and could hit better than Punto if he closed one eye at the plate. I guess you are enjoying watching minor league first baseman, Gomez play third base in the majors. Youk was a good depth option and we are paying him anyway. There was no emergency to send him away. None.
  22. a700hitter
    When does Beckett succumb to the 7 run rule? I don't think he gets out of the 3rd inning.
  23. a700hitter
    Our offense sucks!!!
  24. a700hitter
    You are cherry picking, E1 looking for signs of hope. I am sorry, but you can't be a sabremetrics guy and exclude certain months or weeks that you don't like. April is part of the season. Our pitchers are what they are for the first half of the season, and that is why the team sucked. If you want to point to some positive trends for the second half of the season, I am fine with that, but the tale of the first half includes April, which is a huge part of why we are in last place. BTW: What do you think about our starting pitching tonight against a real offense. Beckett looks like a bucket of s***.
  25. a700hitter
    Believe what you want to believe. This team is not going to play .650 ball in the second half if our starters have the same ERAs in the second half as they did in the first half. I'll guarantee you that, and Ellsbury and Crawford have nothing to do with that. Don't tell me that they each just had a few bad games excuse. That is ridiculous to say over the course of half a season. They have sucked. Look at their ERA's and look at the ERA's of the starters on teams that are better than us. There is your difference.
