  1. Don't you worry. Ben the errand boy knows what he is doing.
  2. Masterson at 1 year $9 million was stupid $ compared to Volquez for 2 years/ $20 million. Edit: or Jason Hamel at 2 years/ $20 million or A.J. Burnett 1 year/ $8.75 million.
  3. Phil Klein (the nobody on the Rangers) who beat us last week got his head handed to him by the Guardians who scored 6 runs on 6 hits in 2 innings against the bum. We made him look lime Greg Maddox.
  4. They handed over the keys of the team to an errand boy.
  5. They should give Brentz a shot. He has some power.
  6. Gift out on the phantom tag at the plate.
  7. I thought we would use your mojo to run to a third win in a row, but we just can't play consistent enough to have even a modest winning streak. I thought we would have no problem against a pig like Nolasco.
  8. Nava at .164 with zero other big league tools -- no speed, no arm just cannot be carried on a major league squad. His best attribute is OBP and he has been brutal with that in the first half of last season and so far this season even worse. It's time to give someone else a shot. He was a nice story and he has some great Red Sox memories, but he is not an MLB player unless he is producing a .350 OBP.
  9. A 6.24 ERA and counting two months into the season. Goodness. Time to send him to the bullpen and bring up Johnson.
  10. CY Young with the 7 run rule today, and because it is only the second inning he will stay in to take a worse beating. Maybe he will regress a little in the next few innings toward mediocrity. Oh, Farrell woke up. Kelly is out. He had terrible luck today. Somehow all of his pitches kept hitting bats and several of them were on the barrel.
  11. Is it my imagination or has Sandoval gotten heavier since Spring Training?
  12. Kelly needs to start regressing back to mediocre soon.
  13. Cy Young is having a tough day --- or maybe he just stinks.
  14. Once again Kimmi, the stats bear out my observations of the game. Not surprising as my baseball mainframe computer mind processes my observations, stores the data, and crunches all of the relevant stats in real time. It doesn't make me happy that that we are at the bottom of this category. I find it tremendously frustrating that we run the bases in such a reckless manner when we are having trouble scoring runs.
  15. Yep, the tigers were the one team in the last few years with a 4 ERA (4.01) that made the playoffs, but they also had a couple of big hammers that we didn't have -- Scherzer and Price (after the trading deadline). Also, their second best hitter last year was Miggy as VMart absolutely tore it up last year. Other than the 2014 Tigers, playoff teams in recent years have had ERAs under 4. An ERA over 4, certainly an ERA around 4.5, will not keep the 2015 Red Sox competitive.
  16. BA .326, OBP .396, slg% .419
  17. Stats over recent years do not support this. If you want to be seriously in the hunt for the post season, you had better come in with an ERA under 4.
  18. Ah, but if do they have a stat for TOOTBLAN adjusted as a percentage of base runners? In that case, we surely are the worst in both leagues.
  19. I read that Willis has installed a whole new regime -- he rakes is coffee with skim milk ant 2 equal. Nieves just took his coffee black.
  20. Miley is tossing a beautiful game. I always thought he would be good. Hehe.
  21. Holt can play anywhere and play well. They should see if he can pitch.
  22. What a play by Pedroia! Great! What an over the hill overpaid bum! Trade him.
  23. We lose too many guys on the bases. Where was Napoli going!
  24. The offense needs to take more cross country plane trips based on the results for Napoli.
