    he pitched well enough to win last night. The defense blew up behind him once again, and the popgun offense needs 3 or 4 errors from the opposition if they want to put up more than a couple of runs.

    What the Red Sox are doing in rescheduling today's game is BS. I am glad that we will get to see baseball today, but to change the schedule on such little notice while denying any exchanges and refunds is heavy handed and very non friendly to ticket holding fans. In many cases, fans travel long distance to see the Red Sox. Some fans are flying into town for the weekend and the Red Sox are part of their itinerary. Other fans work on Saturdays, so switching the time to a day game means that they cannot go to the game. I understand that they want to reschedule the game so that it is played, but not offering exchanges or refunds is BS. How many refunds and exchanges would be requested -- probably not too many with Chris Sale pitching. The only people who would request a refund would be those who just cannot get to the game because of the time change. Coming on the heels of the FO so piously pronouncing how much they want to make the fan experience fun and safe and limit exposure to inoffensive behavior, I think the decision to deny refunds or exchanges is inconsiderate and somewhat hypocritical.

    That is right. The bottom of the order is not getting on so the opposing pitcher is facing Mookie with no runners on and frequently with one or 2 outs, so they are not going to let him hurt them in a close game. If they have a nice lead, he can only cut into it by one run, so his effectiveness is really limited there. Dumbass Farrell at least needs to flip flop Mookie and Pedroia to reduce the number of DPs.

    Who is beating the drum to do this now? That is in your head. We are looking down the road. Texas isn't going to start selling off stars in May. No team is, but as we progress through June if they are still in last place I think Beltre will be available around the All Star break. Generally, no one makes deals before the All Star Break. No one is panicking. We are just planning and shopping around. There is a huge hole at 3B defensively and offensively (against LHP especially) even if Panda is healthy. It is not going to resolve itself. A new player from within or outside the organization is needed to solidify that glaring weakness. That is not panic It is sound judgment based on observation.

    Team friendly contracts are for suckers. The minute you are no longer useful to the organization they usher you out of town accompanied by bad press so the fans will think they made the right decision. It is their MO, and they are money grubbing fiends.

    Kenley Jansen makes $!9 million/yr. Chapman makes $17.5 million, and Melancon makes more the $15 million. Kimbrel makes less than $13 million for a shorter term contract, and he is better than all of them. We did not overpay with money. As for prospects, Margot, by himself, was not bringing back an elite player other than a closer. There was no future for him on the Red Sox as the killer bees were ahead of him and all young. The other guys sent with Margot are minor league roster filler. You overstate your case against the Kimbrel trade on both fronts -- money and prospects.

    Moreland's AB was terrible.
  8. a700hitter
    It seems that he separated his shoulder that he has had a problem with in the past. This time it is worse than previous times. Surgery is a possibility.
  9. a700hitter
    This team goes quietly in too many games. They get behind and they are toast.
  10. a700hitter
    Moreland is a part time platoon player. The fact that he is an everyday player with us and a major lineup piece reflects just how bad our offense is.
  11. a700hitter
    This lineup stinks.
  12. a700hitter
    Turn out the lights.
  13. a700hitter
    The lineup is atrocious too.
  14. a700hitter
    A GG First baseman picks that ball easily.
  15. a700hitter
    More of that Bronze glove clanking balls by Moreland.
  16. a700hitter
    That is just a fallacious statement. Margot is the only thing of value given up, and he is not setting anything on fire.
  17. a700hitter
    Just thinking ahead since I have so much time on my hands.
  18. a700hitter
    We raped our farm system for him. We gave up Margot (hitting .250 for SD) and ... and... uh... and... some nobodies.
  19. a700hitter
    Didn't know that. I just don't have much confidence that tonight's lineup can put up 4 or more runs which will be needed to win if Porcello gives up more than 1 dinger.
  20. a700hitter
    Porcello needs to keep the ball in the park tonight. If he gives up more than 1 HR, we are toast.

    [TABLE=class: deviceWidth, width: 600, align: center] [TR] [TD=class: leadheadline]Saturday's Red Sox vs. Rays game moved to 1:05 p.m.[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: leadcopy]Due to sustained periods of rain expected Saturday evening and into Sunday, first pitch of Saturday's Red Sox-Rays game has been rescheduled to 1:05 p.m., moved up from the originally scheduled start time of 7:10 p.m. In consultation with Major League Baseball and the Tampa Bay Rays, the determination was made that the earlier start time would provide the best chance of playing the game on Saturday. Tomorrow's forecast for the Fenway area calls for sustained periods of rain to begin in the late afternoon hours and continue into Sunday, with temperatures in the 40's. Fenway Park gates will open at 11:35 a.m. on Saturday. No ticket refunds or exchanges will be issued.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

    I don't think Texas will sell yet, but maybe in June. Beltre took BP the other day and has been taking grounders. He will be back soon.
  23. a700hitter
    This year. Last year, not so much.
  24. a700hitter
    My bad. I tried to include all the choices, but blew it by omitting an obvious one.
  25. a700hitter
    Worse for Bartman.
