Yep. Would have pitched around him and Pujols and taken my chances with Aybar. No intentional walks, just try to make them go out of the zone. -

Very nice play by Bogaerts from the SS hole. Impressive. -
I think we have learned the hard way by having a rotation full of 3s 4s and 5s. I can't see doubling down on that strategy. It is a failed strategy-- worse than "Closer by Committee."

Leake might be a sliver better than Miley, but just a sliver.

Dueling bums tonight. -
I like that "Mr Projectability". It is like the name of a movie. Maybe Bradley can help bring us a pitcher.

Hoss with another K -
Buchholz is going to see Andrews for a second opinion on his elbow.
-
i could see Ben being interested in Mike Leake, but I am not sure that another middle to bottom of the rotation guy would be helpful. It might be helpful to unload Kelly if that would be part of the deal.
-
So, they don't feel that great about this team's chances. I agree that they probably don't make a big move at this point. They will need to add pitching to this team for next year. I don't see a good reason not to do it now and give this team a chance to be competitive. I don't think that premium pitching will be cheaper in the off season.
-
You just moved the goal posts and created a whole different team. Where I was digging was to get your opinion of what Ben would do if this team (not a better team with a better run differential etc) had won 4 or 5 more games in May because the hitting was just a little better.
-
If this team was in first place at this juncture, do you think the FO would have the opinion that this team is good enough to make a deep playoff run if they added a pitcher?
-
i don't agree with this argument. Do you think Ben thinks 2015 is dead for the Sox?
-
Is that where you think he will end his season?
-
The Nats could use a first baseman or an outfielder. Too bad Craig has been such a flop and Napoli too. Maybe they could use Victorino.
-
register your vote. Right now there is a 0 thinking we get anyone.
-
so, what is your best guess? How did you vote?

I'm glad that I wasn't drinking anything when I read this or my screen would be very messy. Very good, Bells! -
I wonder when he will get promoted to the next level?
-
The season is dead if they don't make a big acquisition. Then we Sox fans can sit and fret until March over whether the putz or his successor gets us a top pitcher.
-
and we have been around this wheel too. If we were in 1st place at this juncture, imo, Ben would not have upgraded the staff. His strategy would have been working.
-
what category does Kazmir fall into in your opinion?

News today is that Pedroia may not be activated today. -
we have been around and around this circle. IMO a team (not just the starters) with a 4.25 ERA cannot be competitive over an entire season. It wouldn't matter where we would be now. At the end of the season the 4.25 ERA would find its correct level-- not competitive. If we were in first place now, it would only serve to further Ben's belief in his very flawed approach.
-
Yep.
