The Red Sox are considering putting WMB in the OF:
-
3 or 4 games for Yaz.
-
We do stink. I don't know what kind of magic people think will come over this bunch to make them competitive. They are not going to take shape, get it together or whatever. They can't win in the soft part of the schedule. The good teams will run them off the field.

The signs were there that he was going to blow up, especially after the first batter. I would not have had a problem with him taking him out, but I had no problem with him keeping him in. I still think it was more a case of focus than fatigue. Sure, he wasn't as fresh as a daisy, but you've got to get through the later innings and throw strikes. I'm not going to hang Bobby V on this one, because he probably wasn't going to get 2 scoreless from the pen. If he brought in Albers after the first walk, he'd still have given up the bomb to Sweeney and we'd have lost by 1 instead of 2.

Bard knows that he s*** himself. That's why he was pissed off.
-
He had plenty left in the tank. He was humping it to the plate harder in the 7th than earlier in the game. He got his only strikeout to end the 7th. If anything, he screwed himself up by overthrowing. Gassed? I don't think so. He didn't look gassed to me. He looked like he lost focus and s*** himself a bit.
-
The signs of him choking were there in the 7th, but he wasn't gassed.

The arms in the pen are hanging like limp noodles from too much use. Bard's pitch count was low. He was fresh, but he blew it. THe problem is that every time Bard gets in a pressure situation, he blows up. He did it last year in September.

His starters should not be blowing up at less than 100 pitches. They just shouldn't. Bard had plenty left. He just spit the bit.
-
Bard wasn't gassed. He lost focus and just didn't make the pitches in the biggest part of the game. As Schilling has said several times, the difference between winning and losing is the execution of about half a dozen pitches. Bard didn't execute. He lost his focus and kind of choked. Doubront seems to do the same thing when he is trying to wrap up his starts. The two of them need to handle things better in the late innings. They need to grow a pair and keep their stuff together at the end. This is mainly on Bard and the rest is on Albers.

Daniel san has been focused and saved up the good gas for the end.
-
Give me a hint. Is he tall?
-
He would have taken the throw in front of the plate.
-
Nice play by Gonzo! Safety squeeze.
-
Time for the strikeouts.
-
Safe trip.
-
Bobby V thought it was Middlebrooks.
-
And if he did, he would throw it into CF.
-
Quick release by Shoppach. Salty would've still been getting out of the crouch.
-
Bard needs to remove his head from his ass.
-
Focus Daniel san!
-
WMb is out of the game. Young players trying to make the major league team should have their legs in better shape.
