They are just wasting time if they keep him around. He's done as a starter. I might let him pitch out of the pen, but he has to be removed from the rotation. He has no chance of succeeding. The velocity he needs isn't there and it isn't coming back.
No one knows where they are supposed to be in the IF and no one in the OF knows what they are supposed to do with the ball. Yes, you are right that that is the fault of the coaching.
I agree with everything in your post on the prior play by Hanley. I was referring to the one good play Hanley made after that. There were no mistakes on that. Altuve was just too fast and read the play so well.
Our pitching stubbornly clinging to the worst ERA in the league. Hey Ben, it's the pitching, stupid! Get us some pitchers that can give us some consistency and give us a chance to win.
I assumed that you were talking about Porcello, because that is who we have been discussing. I am not sure that your abstract statement has any practical correlation. Anyway, try to stay on topic, Bells. Focus.
I find it interesting that people argue that Porcello's mechanics have been tinkered with by Red Sox coaches. What is the point of that argument... That he isn't having a rotten season, that his contract is really a good value? Imo, whether he changed his approach and what might have influenced that decision is meaningless. He obviously needs to make adjustments or he will find himself out of the rotation. Blaming others for his failure is just emblematic of how society fails to hold people accountable for their own failures. I guess some people view Porcello and Ben as victims? Absurd...right.
