    This would be worth a try. I'd bat Pedroia 3rd and Ortiz 4th.
  2. a700hitter
    I could see this as a stop gap to Cechinni.

    People may have found Kruk annoying tonight, but I think that he was right on with his assessment of the two teams tonight. The Tigers look like a well-rounded juggernaut. We don't look like we belong on the same field with them, and the results of this series gave a strong indication that we are not competitive with the Tigers. He also pointed out that last year we got some career years from guys like Nava. Carp, who was discarded by a terrible Mariner team, was also a key contributor. He pointed out that last season our LF position was the most productive in the league (using several different platoons). This year, Nava's Joe Hardy-like deal with the devil has expired and Carp is floundering around. We are getting nothing from LF, CF, or 3B. We are barely getting average production from SS and Catcher. The other 4 spots are just not enough to carry a consistent offense.

    Great point.

    I think Buch has to turn it around, We need Victorino to stay in the lineup, and we need another bat.
  6. a700hitter
    A loss tonight would give us our first 4 game losing streak since 2012. We need to avoid losing streaks to tread water and sty close while we are waiting to gell.
  7. a700hitter
    5 runs given up by Peavy. We can't win when our starter gives up 5.
  8. a700hitter
    You have got to be kidding me!! A line drive back to Anibel that he catches like an ice cream cone and doubles Vic off 3rd. Jeesh!!
  9. a700hitter
    Stupid decision by the 3rd baseman. Still 1 out and bases loaded. Let's capitalize!
  10. a700hitter
    The stolen base took the bat out of his hands by creating an open base. Damn!
  11. a700hitter
    It looked like Napoli had a brain fart on that play forgetting who was running.
  12. a700hitter
    I am tired of the screaming at himself act of Peavy. Just get outs and shut up.

    If you like Rush, you have high tolerance for bitching and complaining. You just don't like bitching and moaning with which you disagree. And yes SBF can take care of himself. I was not defending him. I was criticizing MVP who can also take care of himself.
  14. a700hitter
    He was the most dominant pitcher that I have ever watched and I saw Gibson's 1.12 ERA in 1968. every time that he pitched, it was an event.

    XB with RBIs in back to back games. Maybe he is tarting to figure out things. Nice rope by Bradley for a guy that is lost.
  16. a700hitter
    People on the opposite side of the spectrum think that Rush is a whiner and complainer.
  17. a700hitter
    I was just wondering if you watch/listen to any political opinion/news shows.
  18. a700hitter
    Who is the happy woman in the first row of the stands... Lackey's ex?
  19. a700hitter
    Yes, they have been trying to think of a position for him for a while, but they moved him to CF after Bradley made his comment. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe not. His comment shows me something -- that he is not close to breaking out of his funk at the plate.
  20. a700hitter
    After Bradley's "I'm lost" comment, maybe the organization lost some faith in him.
  21. a700hitter
    XB will make it in the Bigs as a starting player. What remains to be seen is his ceiling. WMB is another story. I am not sure that WMB is a big league starting player. How much rope do we give this guy while we also have a SS and CFer learning the ropes? Bradley is a big league fielder and eventually will probably do enough of offensively to justify being a starter. If we are going to carry a substandard bat into the future, it is imperative to upgrade the lineup somewhere else. We need to be mindful that Ortiz will not be here forever and right now, he is our offense. Last season, he had a supporting cast of Ells, Naps, Pedroia, and Victorino. This year, the supporting staff is stripped down to Pedroia, Naps, and Victorino. All the rest are meh, and unless 1 or 2 of the kids get on track and start producing, we don't have enough offense to provide the consistent results to be successful.
  22. a700hitter
    ^ Agreed.
  23. a700hitter
    We would lose a draft pick for retaining our own player? Also, I thought that the draft pick would not be an issue after May. Weare less than 2 weeks from June.
  24. a700hitter
    I had agreed to disagree in response to your first post.
  25. a700hitter
    I wouldn't mind having Drew on the squad. We need depth, and he is a pretty solid player at a critical position.
