    The mini-win streak is over.

    I think teams keep Danny Valencia on their rosters just to play us. He always seems to hit bombs against us.

    Kelly looks like a rotation piece for 2015.

    I am probably pushing my luck trying to extend my mojo with a 3rd win in a row. Joe Kelly vs. Marcus Stroman. 3rd inning -- Jays up 1-0.

    Two game winning streak! Woo Hooo! I finally found some mojo. Lol!

    Luckily, I don't think that the FO has a build solely from within philosophy. People tend to project their own philosophy onto the FO. I think the Red Sox will continue to have one of the largest payrolls in baseball.

    He looked pretty good there in that AB with the oppo power.

    Based on the little that I have seen of Craig with the Red Sox, it is hard to believe that he had been a good hitter. He looks clueless at the plate.
  9. a700hitter
    it blows with Papi too.
  10. a700hitter
    Do you think that this move makes it more likely that the Sox will move some of their prospects and other players in trades for pitching?
  11. a700hitter
    I don't see that sitting well with him.
  12. a700hitter
    I really don't remember Paps having clubhouse issues with the Red Sox.
  13. a700hitter
    You are right about that. The Yankees will get their man, and this offseason, they may look for 2 pitchers. Who knows. There are only 3 big FA names out there: Lester, Scherzer and Shields.

    I am not sure why people are concluding that Koji must be injured. Last year was a career year for him. It may be one of the greatest seasons for a closer in history. This season he has given a few glimpses of being mortal. It is a long season, and even great players hit some bumps in the road and struggle. The great Mo Rivera would hit a patch most years where he struggled. Despite being in this rough patch, Uehara is still pitching to a season ERA of 2.25 at age 39. I am not sure why people expecte him to be perfect and why they conclude that he must be injured if he is not perfect. That being said, I cannot think of a good reason for Farrell leaving him in for 30+ pitches the other day when he had blown the save. That was thick-headed stupidity, but then again, Farrell is a thick-headed stupid man.

    The Red Sox are looking to build on last night's win. Re La Rosa vs. Dickey
  16. a700hitter
    The 2014 Red Sox continue to find ways to lose.
  17. a700hitter
    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.
  18. a700hitter
    Third inning game thread. Buchholz vs. Happ
  19. 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?
  22. 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.
  23. a700hitter
    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.
  24. a700hitter
    Hopelessness early in the season is something that most of us have never experienced. You would have to go back 75+ years for that.
  25. a700hitter
    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.
