  1. Buch is all over the place -- not close to the zone.
  2. Buch has become a very hittable pitcher. He used to miss a lot of bats. That is no longer the case. Great! He walks the #9 man to load the bases with 1 out.
  3. Sizemore got a great jump. He still has good speed.
  4. We might as well bring up Rubby and see what he has got. If he bombs in 2 straight starts, bring up Barnes.
  5. What are David Ross's numbers since he has been with the Red Sox? Last season, he deserved some slack due to the concussion issue and we were producing runs like crazy so we didn't need him to hit. This season he continues to look like an old softball player trying to hit MLB pitching. He looks like he is washed up. Why not bring up Vasquez who looks like the best defensive catcher that the Red Sox have had since Tony Pena. There is nothing to lose. He couldn't hit much worse than Ross who hasn't been off the Interstate since we got him. If Vasquez completely bombs, give someone else a chance. Ross has set the bar very low.
  6. I hope that he gets claimed.
  7. And those numbers are no better whether there have been runners on second and third or first and second. He gave away two outs for a team that has trouble hitting. Also, last night was not the night for the manager to decide to manufacture runs. It was a high scoring game in which we were down big and we were hitting the ball very well all night long. It was just baffling.
  8. Playing for one or 2 runs when you are down 4 runs in the 6th and 3 runs in the 8th? Just plain dumb. And Holt was hitting well tonight.
  9. Chis Davis is heating up. He doubled his HR output tonight with 3. Nelson Cruz already has 13 HRs, and their best hitters are Machado and Jones.
  10. Okay, who gets called up to take Doubront's starts?
  11. In the 6th, 8th, and 9th we had the first 2 batters get on base, and none of the 6 scored. Would someone please explain to me the bunt attempts in the 6th and 8th? I just don't get it.
  12. Ortiz gives you your money's worth.
  13. Will Farrell bunt again with 2 on and down 3 runs? LOL!!
  14. Bring up Vasquez. The guy is a dynamo behind the plate, and he couldn't hit worse than Ross.
  15. And Lester's value goes up.
  16. Ross is through. He looks like someone's Grandpapy out there. He used to be an okay hitter, but this is 2 years in a row of being really bad.
  17. What a difference a year make! Last year, we had everything fall into place. This year is the opposite. We had a rally going and Happ was on the ropes and XB hits a bullet that the third baseman dive for and gets a DP. An inning or 2 later we were tuning up Happ and Ortiz crushes a ball for the last out in one inning. Then we crush the ball some more and Farrell fails with a bunt with Ross. Then we crush it some more and he bunts and fails with Holt who had been hitting the ball hard. The first bunt down 4 runs was hard to comprehend, but bunting in the 8th inning down 3 runs was really baffling. Can someone explain that one to me. We should have 8 or 9 runs.
  18. Eric Kratz was a nice pickup for the Jays.
  19. Brentz would be the only option.
  20. I guess that Middlebrooks will be the other part of that platoon.
  21. Sign J.D. And we are set!
  22. Exactly, and the Drew signing bears out your theory.
  23. Yep, half of the plan has been implemented.
