    Our plus defense on display again. Two runs scoring on a stolen base. Oye!
  2. a700hitter
    Good job! You are giving me a vocabulary lesson.

    I am so glad that Wade Miley gave Johnson advice. I wonder if the advice was "hey kid, don't suck like me". Farrell should just keep these kids away from our suck-ass veterans. Miley could only dream of having Johnson's curveball.

    Orsillo's replacement is all excited. This is the first multi run inning and lead that he has announced. He got all excited on Papi's fly out.
  5. a700hitter
    Bogaerts is really learning how to handle the bat.
  6. a700hitter
    Two runs and working on more this inning. I am getting excited.
  7. a700hitter
    I think you meant "sensibilities" above. The off season thread will start much earlier than last year.
  8. a700hitter
    That last one that was hit was a hanger, but his curve ball does remind me of Bruce Hurst's curve.

    You should have started a discussion thread about the rotation. That would have generated a good deal of spirited friendly debate.
  10. a700hitter
    no stats were needed to know that the pitching and D would be a problem, just some knowledge of the personnel.
  11. a700hitter
    yep
  12. a700hitter
    His intellect is so massive that he is beyond our comprehension.
  13. a700hitter
    Oh goodie, Joe Kelly gets the start tomorrow night. And Daniel Nava is back. We are on our way!
  14. a700hitter
    I am looking forward Seeing Johnson and Velasquez pitch.

    You criticized me, not the other way around. Don't personalize the mockery. You are not the only one holding the views that I sarcastically mocked. Many hold those views, and I can't think of anyone who held all of those views. I was just throwing out all of the excuses that I have read with which I disagree.
  16. a700hitter
    Oh get on the Whambulence.
  17. a700hitter
    It is an optical illusion.

    Ben is not a victim, nor is he any more of a puppet than any other GM. He is simply not a good GM. He is a great example of the Peter Principle. He was a great understudy, but he can't handle the job. maybe Theo can use him in Chicago to get his coffee.
  19. a700hitter
    Not Ben's fault. The fans made him do it! LOL!! He is the victim of terrible horrible luck. Who could have predicted that Masterson would be this bad after losing 7 or 8 mph of velocity or that Buch would get injured or that a guy that never played the OF would be a bad Outfielder, or that Ortiz really is closing in on 40 years old? No one could have foreseen these things. It's an enigma wrapped in a riddle inside a twinkie that Panda ate.
  20. a700hitter
    Sometimes the most obvious solution is the correct solution. Even if Ben is not the cause, firing him can't have a worse result than finishing last.
  21. a700hitter
    He is an awful manager and he is on his way to his 4 last place finish in his 5 years of managing 2 different teams.
  22. a700hitter
    When do we start the hot stove thread?
  23. a700hitter
    We are getting annihilated. Terrible team.
  24. a700hitter
    Growing pains. Also, it didn't help him that Hanley can't play the outfield at all. He let a catchable ball get over his head in that big inning with men on base. How long is this Hanley OF experiment going to last. I guess they have no options this season, but they cannot have him out there in 2016.
  25. a700hitter
    I'd agree to blow up the team, but is there anything to blow up? No one will want Napoli. We will get very little for the brittle Vicorino. They want to keep the most valuable assets in Betts and Bogaerts. Hanley is a huge financial commitment and he has not defensive position. Ortiz will die a Red Sox and Pedroia is still the heart of the team. He is probably the most valuable trading asset, but Ben doesn't have the cajones to trade him. Hanigan will not bring back much. No on wants Castillo for his contract. Panda might be a tradeable asset, but we would have to eat a lot of his salary. As for our pitchers, the kid ER is a keeper. Of the rest of them, probably only uehara has trade value. No one wants Masterson or Kelly for a stretch run, unless they want to miss the playoffs. Porcello's contract is a non starter. Maybe Miley's contract is reasonable enough to not be a deterrent to a trade.
