it would be nice if he would take when he comes up to Fenway instead of just watering the grass like he did on his prior visits .

yes, fixing the offense is trickier. One or two hot hitters can have a cascading effect that lifts an entire lineup's offensive production. Will 1or 2 of our current guys get hot? Or do we need to add a bat? There is no such dynamic at work with our pitchers. The pitching simply needs to be upgraded.

Throw in Masterson and get a second box of balls.

6/12 vs Blue Jays

Happy Birthday, RSFFL! How old are you now? -
I don't think the offense needs a total revamp. Some of these guys will get hot. Pedey is red hot. XB has gotten very hot and consistent. I expect Mookie's hits will start falling. If Ortiz still has his bat speed as I have been reading, he should start putting more balls in the seats. It will not take much to get the offense going. A key hit here and there and the run production will increase. Maybe they get a backup catcher to upgrade Leon's offense. When is Hannigan due back? Maybe they get someone to platoon with Napoli or play 1B full time if Naps continues hitting at the Mendoza line. Everyone is so negative about the offense improving, but that can change rather quickly.

They are immune to mojo.
-
Whether or not it is their fault is for the post-mortems. They should attempt to fix this instead of just throwing in the towel and riding what we have. Standing pat doesn't seem like a very hopeful option.
-
I don't think it is hopeless, unless they decide to do nothing and give up. We are not that far off from the pack and the strategy was to hang with the pack until reinforcements were needed. They are needed. They sould execute their strategy. Otherwise, their strategy going in was just BS and there was no intent to address issues (other than minor tweaking, i.e., d'Aza). Issues need to be addressed when you are behind, not when you are in first place.
-
It's the fans fault-- packing Fenway every night with fans that understand the game puts tremendous pressure on the players, not to mention the anguish it causes for management and the owners. All of those entitled masses yearning to see decent baseball while lining the pockets of the owners and players with riches. Repent!

Is the actual rotation the worst in the last 10 Y?
a700hitter replied to iortiz's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The strategy going into the season was to stay competitive and hang with the pack while addressing issues and needs during the season. We have stayed within striking distance up to this point despite playing awful in every aspect of the game. The O's, Yankees and Toronto are all playing well right now and the pack is leaving us behind. Now, is the time to address the needs. That was the strategy... right? -
The news today is that Victorino is getting closer to a rehab assignment, which sadly only means that he is that much closer to another DL stint.
-
No rumored moves by the Sox today. Another game will come off the schedule-- approaching irrelevance at an accelerated rate. We will continue to do battle with pitchers with 5 plus ERA s supported by a lineup that can't score runs. Even if the hitting comes to life, which I think it will, the poor pitching will be too much to overcome.

Lol@ Eck last night for blasting Miley and Farrell. He hurled some good lines. "Is he on acid." They ate his lunch." "He should have been embarrassed at his performance." "Farrell should not have given him respect." These are not exact quotes, but they are pretty accurate in meaning. If SBF had gone on a rant like that on this board, he would have been viciously attacked. Thank you, Eck. The rant was well earned.
-
Bad luck. Lol!
-
Look at the bright side. Tomorrow we will roll another 5.5 ERA punching bag to the mound to face a good hitting team that has won 7 in a row.
-
Miley basically said no comment. He made no apology. Eck, has been incredulous:"they just ate your lunch... and you are complaining? You should be embarrassed."
-
Me too.
-
Eck is going nuts that Farrell said he respected Miley's competitiveness and spirit and that he had good stuff. Eck, says that Farrell's reaction is a joke. He said Frank Robinson would have ripped off his (Eck's) head if had done something like that and not said that he respected his competitiveness. Lyons added that it was a lie that Miley had great stuff. He had nothing.
-
Oh, that is a very long time for the system to be down. I guess the reset didn't work.
-
Farrell calls Miley a competitive guy and he respects that. I guess you have to respect a 5+ ERA.
-
Are you shacking up with VA? Lol!
-
You don't get NESN?
-
Every morning I check the mlb rumors to see if we make any moves. This current crew unchanged has no chance to do anything except spiral closer to the drain.
-
Eck asks "is he on acid?" with respect to Miley's reaction in the dugout. Eck is going off and so is Lyons.
-
No comebacks in this team. When they get down, they are finished.
