    I think it is just Cafardo coming to a wrong conclusion.
  2. a700hitter
    It will be an exciting time for the Red Sox if Ortiz gets as he said " as hot as Jamaica". It would also be nice if Pedroia started playing like Pedroia.
  3. a700hitter
    This makes no sense. If it looks like we are making a run, they should be stepping up their efforts to trade Peavy to get a bat. This is ass-backwards.
  4. a700hitter
    Ortiz launches another bomb. Two for the night!
  5. a700hitter
    That Brock Holt can hit. Nice to see Derew, Bradley and XB being productive.
  6. a700hitter
    I think that is accurate.
  7. a700hitter
    A lefty with some speed and no power should be making some productive outs. Look at the stats. Guys with a lot of k's usually have a few HRs. If they k a lot and don't hit HRs, they usually don't stick.
  8. a700hitter
    84 k's. He has trouble making contact. High Strikeout totals are more acceptable today, but not for guys with no power.
  9. a700hitter
    He was a stud and got them a World Championship in his first season. So, it is not like the guy has been a bust. We have had plenty of bad contracts too -- maybe worse because we didn' t get any big seasons out of some of our busts. The Yankees miscalculation was re-signing him after the opt- out/
  10. a700hitter
    They gave him the opportunity to build his value, and that was a mistake. For the most part, teams have been locking up their aces before they hit the open market. The FO is in the process of botching this.

    i' d be happy if he could give that production.
  12. a700hitter
    I'm not drinking the KoolAid about his turnaround just yet. OFers have to hit. A good glove isn't enough.
  13. a700hitter
    since 7/19, .667/.667.
  14. a700hitter
    And another K by Bradley. He has 1 HR and 84 k's. Let's not overblow this turnaround.
  15. a700hitter
    what happened to him? Last year, the guy looked like a pure hitter.
  16. a700hitter
    1 HR and 83 K's is embarrassingly bad. Guys with that many K's have some HRs next to their names.
  17. a700hitter
    He has no bat speed. You can't learn that.
  18. a700hitter
    Victorino is back and Betts was optioned to AAA. They won't give up on Bradley figuring it out.
  19. a700hitter
    Three holes makes it tough to maintain consistent production. Maybe you can play .500 ball, but at this point that will not get it done. In order to get back into the race, this team needs to go on a run. They need another bat to do that. We just finished a home stand against the worst teams in baseball and we got our clocks cleaned with our current crew. I think we have to be realistic about their potential.
  20. a700hitter
    The Sox originally drafted him, but it was in later RDS and he opted for Vanderbilt.
  21. a700hitter
    Bradley becomes a defensive replacement. He is a zero in the lineup. He is an excellent fielder, but let's not start mixing him up with Paul Blair, who was also a pretty good hitter until he got beaned.
  22. a700hitter
    They will at times score some runs. Consistency will be the problem. It's hard to be consistent with three major holes. People are dreaming if they think Bradley is going to find something and be productive. He is a swing and miss guy without bat speed or power. Salty was the same type of guy, but he was big and strong and could knock the ball out of the park. Among Drew, catcher and XB, we will be lucky if we get production from 1 of those slots, so we really have 4 holes. If he doesn't add a bat soon they will flounder and it will be over. Adding a hitter may not work, but it is this teams only chance. This group will continue to fight for last place.
  23. a700hitter
    The AA Bowie Baysox in the Oriole system were victims of a 1 hit complete game shutout. The only hit was a double by Mike Yastrzemski in only his second game at AA.
  24. a700hitter
    I can't see them getting close unless they get another hitter. I can see them making a push if they get a hitter, but not if they tread water for another 10 games or so before getting one.
  25. a700hitter
    Good move in PHing Homes for Bradley, but I can't understand why he didn't go to the bench for Carp in the 9th against the Right with second and third and one out in the 9th. Comes was helpless. He is strictly a platoon hitter. With 2 out, I thought that Holt had an extra basehit. He puts up good ABs almost every time up. In Yankee Stadium that ball is a HR.
