    The 2014 Red Sox continue to find ways to lose.

    Remy gave a stat on Vasquez. I think he said that he has thrown out more than 50% of the runners stealing since he has been in the majors. That is unheard of in Boston.

    Third inning game thread. Buchholz vs. Happ
  4. a700hitter
    Yes, what you have stated is the reality. I agree that should definitely back off on using over-worked pitchers.

    You and I may not care if they win another game, but the organization probably wants to demonstrate some hope and anticipation for next season. It's not good business to end the season with a train wreck. Also, cashing in the chips and shutting down guys because we are eliminated would not be good for the integrity of the game. They owe it to the league to be putting out their best effort to win every night. Also, there will probably be another 300,000 fans rolling through the turnstiles at Fenway for the remainder of the season. When they purchased the tickets, they thought they would be watching a team that would be trying to win. Cashing in the chips and giving up is not a good message to those fans. I don't care and you don't care about winning the remaining games, but the organization wants to look professional.

    Good to see. You back. How have you been feeling?
  7. a700hitter
    You have bee around. None of us are here as much as we used to be, but a certain small contingent has disappeared and good riddance.

    It's really getting absurd. They put on a shift with a man on first and no one out. They get an ordinary ground ball to Holt and there is no one to cover second base fore the force play because of the shift. Idiocy. This is the major leagues. Do we have to look like keystone cops while we lose? I just do not believe in over shifting on ordinary hitters like Logan Forsythe. The whole shifting craze is way overdone.

    Hopelessness early in the season is something that most of us have never experienced. You would have to go back 75+ years for that.

    You were not one of the obnoxious FO boosters. There were a small contingent of people who were completely intolerant of any critical analysis of the team or the FO. They know who they are. They are not you. The funny thing is that when they went away we no longer needed mods to keep order. This place has become civil even though the team has been a disaster. Hmm. Maybe they were the problem? As you young folk say.. Just saying.
  11. a700hitter
    Lol! Maybe so. But he will have to throw at ARod for the league minimum next season.

    Webster always seems to have first inning troubles. You can live with that if the guy can limit the damage to settle in. Unfortunately, up to this point, he has had a habit of getting buried before getting his feet under him.
  13. a700hitter
    It's 3-3 after 1 inning at Fenway and no one cares. I can't blame people for not caring, but I do find it amusing that almost every FO booster has deserted the team. f*** all of you fair weather fans. When you come back, you will get a boatload of s*** from me. Anyway, Webster is on the mound. This is the first game where Ortiz, Cespedes, Napoli and Craig are in the lineup together -- a preview of 2015. Go Red Sox!!
  14. a700hitter
    The team is going in a different direction. Bradley would have to dominate at AAA to get another shot.
  15. a700hitter
    I still think that Dempster was a fool to walk away from $13 million, but he did leave on a high note. He avoided a debacle.
  16. a700hitter
    Yes, he still has value, but it has depreciated probably by 75%.
  17. a700hitter
    Having a legitimate power threat behind Ortiz will help run production.
  18. a700hitter
    Ben is not one to tip his hand, and this team had so many needs that it is hard to guess at what direction he might take. The Castillo move didn't seem like an obvious move, but I guess that our OF is pretty much see for 2015. What's up next on Ben' s agenda? I have no clue.
  19. a700hitter
    Did I say in my post that we shouldn't have signed him? No, I don't think I have said that in any of my posts. I just made an observation that we seem to have a lot of very small players.
  20. a700hitter
    He's a poster child for the excellent reputation of the AZ State program. If he had put up those numbers at a lesser college, he would not have been drafted until a much later round. College numbers are not very reliable indicators. Also, with regard to your Bill James reference in your post, you are talking out of your ass --- as usual.

    They will be lucky if they reach 70 wins this season. If they win 70 games next season to make it 3 of 4 years at 70 wins, they will take a big hit to their profits. Edit: Even the Mets have not been that bad over the last 4 years, and they are dumping thousands of tickets onto stub hub at steep discounts. At least they are sucking at a bargain basement payroll.
  22. a700hitter
    The Sox have lost 8 of 10 on this home stand. The team is in free-fall.
  23. a700hitter
    This guy is on the small side. We continue to acquire guys that make us look more like a gymnastic team than a baseball team.
  24. a700hitter
    In the Press Conference, Ben said that he is happy with the "talent that is here". Goodness, is that denial or delusion?
  25. a700hitter
    They haven't left themselves any choice. Filling these spots internally would guarantee a wire to wire last place team.
