Continuing to play Panda at the weight he reported at in Spring Training would have quickly been exposed as irrational, especially as he puts on weight during the season. It would have become quickly obvious that he cannot play up to major league standards. Benching Panda and the subsequent DL saved the Red Sox from the embarrassment that he surely would have brought upon himself and the team had he played.

When he gets one on the sweet spot that he can pull, he really puts a charge into it and hits it a long way. That has been evident since 2013. I am just surprised that it happens so infrequently.

^This post is blather.
-
it will not be as bad as the last 3 of 4 years when they had the patient approach.
-
I am not stating it as a fact. It is just something that I have heard announcers and other baseball people say -- that catching is the fastest rout to the majors and that catchers seem to stick around the longest. I don't think that sk has any factual basis for saying the opposite.
-
you have no knowledge that Pablo wasn't Ben's initiative. You keep saying this with no evidence to back it up except for your own assumption. Stop making up stuff.

Porcello can put up wins giving up a couple of HRs a long as our offense averages 5+ runs a game.
-
Kimmi, the main objective in the sport is winning. What reeks is losing.
-
I don't think this is factual at all. I think it is commonly believed that catcher is one of the fastest routes to the majors and one of the longer tenured positions.
-
He should be catching in AAA to refine his defensive skills. I agree that moving him to another position would hurt his trade value.

The MRI Results just came in on the MRI. They were inconclusive as the test could not penetrate that many layers of fat.

This is a disgrace.

I watched a few minutes of the DBacks - Dodgers game tonight to see Stripling. Scully was doing the game. Hs broadcasts should all be archived as works of art. If you have never heard Sully broadcast a Dodger game, you must get the Extra Innings package and take in one of his broadcasts before the end of the year. My favorite line tonight was when AGon got jammed and hit a little soft liner to the second baseman. Scully noted that AGon got jammed and said that "it sounded like he hit it with the morning newspaper."

Papelbon 0 Earned Runs in 2 League Championship Series and 1 World Series. Not bad either.
-
Just as it was Ben's when he was in charge.
-
True. But they did whiff badly on Abreu, and then the blew the market out of the water on the next available Cuban player.
-
And sometimes the ball leaves the yard like in 1997.
-
The northeast Boston elitists would have had that poor hillbilly run out of town if he had blown that many deciding games for us.
-
Also game 5 ALDS deciding game against the Guardians 1997 if I remember correctly.
-
i think so.

Game 7 2001 World Series

But it is the only fun I have.

He'a a bummmm!

4/13, Orioles At Red Sox

Kelly did enough to win against a tough offense. He needs to be more economical with his pitches against weaker offenses and go deeper in games. -
I agree. They get the blame -- almost all of it. Farrell gets the remainder. I answered the wrong question. The rotation is the reason for the poor start, but the FO gets the blame for the poor rotation.
