    A trademark of Farrell teams. When the team is going well these things get overlooked, but they are inexcusable. The blame goes directly to the coaching staff. We have seen this pattern for much too long with Farrell.

    if this team ends up in the crapper, it will not be because of Price. He is underperforming right now, but he will be a solid contributor. He has had some very solid games this year where he went deep into games. We get none of that from the 4 and 5 spots. Zero. Those guys are helpless. If Price puts up 200 innings with 17 wins and a 4.25 ERA, I am not going to be pulling my hair out of my head, because it is a pretty solid contribution. It is not up to his standards and it is not worth the money, but if we had 5 guys that could do that, we should be competitive for most of the year, although we would probably miss the playoffs. I think he will get his ERA under 4. And I don't give a rats ass whether he lives up to $30 million in 2016. He gives us a chance to win every time he takes the ball. That is all I want from a starter and the 4 and 5 spots don't give us that. The 4th and 5th spots are forfeit spots. If you think Price is the problem on this roster that is being seriously short-sighted and misguided. Talk about a lack of patience.

    He will do better. Where is the patience that you preach? You have one stud in the rotation and you are all over him after 3 months of a 7 year contract. The problem is not Price, Wright or Porcello. We will not win every one of their games, but they give us a chance. The other 2 spots are like putting gas cans on the mound. They are the problem. The problems are what needs to be addressed. This reminds me of your argument last year how our offense (which ended up as one of the top offenses in baseball) was responsible for the Red Sox not being in first place when it was clearly the entire pitching staff that was broken.

    5 games behind the Orioles and half a game ahead of the Blue Jays.

    You have to laugh at such boobery from a manager.

    June Swoon. I have seen this many times before.
  7. a700hitter
    If he were our # 5 we would be the team to beat.
  8. a700hitter
    Losing games started by Price really hurts. Thank goodness tomorrow is an off-day and they can skip the #5 spot.

    Shush, don't be giving away my strategy.

    10 k's and 4 runs -- a strange outing by Price, but you can't win without scoring a run. We have helped give the Rays a boost to their morale. Is there another slumping team that we could help revive?
  11. a700hitter
    Rally killer!

    After seeing Moore today, should DD inquire about him?
  13. a700hitter
    Bradley saved Moore during the one period when he was struggling.
  14. a700hitter
    Maybe Gray will insult Billy Beane and we can take advantage of Beane.
  15. a700hitter
    Followed by a hit by Betts.
  16. a700hitter
    And Vasquez led off the next inning with a base hit, compounding the stupidity.
  17. a700hitter
    Mainly ropes and grounders.
  18. a700hitter
    Bizarre outing by Price -- 4 runs and a bunch of hits but a boatload of k's.
  19. a700hitter
    What happened to the mechanical adjustment that Price made? That has been gone for a while.
  20. a700hitter
    It looked bad, and Hamstrings usually feel worse the next day.
  21. a700hitter
    I love day baseball now. The Red Sox schedule shows this as a Movie Night at 8:15. Is this the usual time for day games in Tampa?
  22. a700hitter
    And you like Hill.
  23. a700hitter
    If you are losing sleep over Price being one of our pitchers, you must not be getting any sleep at all.

    He just would have been released after not performing for a while. Corey Koskie of the Twins had his career end as the result of a concussion and continuing effects. That was several years ago. It is not that concussions were completely ignored in the old days. Concussions are fairly rare in baseball as compared to most other sports. Plus, the home plate collision has been legislated out of the game and so has the second base collision. Is there really a need for a mandated concussion protocol in baseball? If a guy gets his bell rung in the playoffs but feels fine the next day, he has to sit out 7 days? The player has no say?.

    Having a little fun. Is that okay with you? I like to mock the manager's intelligence.
