Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, Brett Gardner, Johnny damon, Julio Lugo when he was good. 3 out of the 3 guys who were leadoff hitters for us in the playoffs during the championship years (specifically Damon in 04, Pedey in 07 and Ells in 13) where as white as Wonderbread. Yeah there was an era where a lot of the really good leadoff hitters like Tim Raines and Vince Coleman happened to be black, but it's the speed, not the color.

Maybe the Best all-around out field the Sox have ever had?
Dojji replied to bosoxmal's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I think it's within Swihart's ability to be a better defender than Jim Rice. Rice was not well known for his mastery of the glove. The question then is do JBJ and Mookie compare to Lynn and Evans... and as much as I like JBj and Mookie... no just no. -
Umm? I've been accused of being insensitive in the past but how the holy flaming butterly hell does being black qualify one to bat leadoff?
-
Quick, look through the league and find out how many CF's have an OPS of .800 or greater.

God no. Swihart for a guy who's decent one year and horrible the next? We have enough of those right now. If I'm trading Swihart I want a guy who's gonna stick around and be reasonably consistent. -
Hello dustcover, welcome to the forum. A word to the wise, it might have been a good idea to read the posting guidelines sticky. We like to have thoughts relevant to a given topic be in a thread about that topic, so we know where to find them. This also makes bringing older topics back to the forefront when new information emerges much easier. That said, I agree, the team has shown some exciting chemistry and players have come out of nowhere to take the forefront of the team, that's always exciting. This team showed something against a very good Orioles team this afternoon that I hope we see repeated. There's plenty of reason to be optimistic about the team's chances right now.

Postgame analysis: Apparently Ortiz has been giving Hernandez some friendly advice about how to think through the at bat.

What people don't understand about Wright is that he doesn't throw a knuckleball. He throws two different knuckleballers. He has the ability to throw both the Wakeball and the Dickeyball. Just makes the darn thing all the harder to line up.
-
Yes. Tied for the league lead in CG's with Kershaw and Sale. ACE.
-
Another walk but Flaherty and joseph up so hopefully he can close this out.
-
1 out to go Nicely done X and Pedey
-
I want to see him finish this game. 4 pitch walks don't finish the game.
-
Steven Wright is our best starter, no question. Price has a lot of catching up to do.
-
There probably is, but not as much as a guy throwing 100. I think at 105 pitches you give Wright a chance to finish.
-
Sit down Davis. Bring Wright out for the 9th
-
4 outs to go. Wright has enough pitches in his arm that he might be able to finish.
-
Way to go Marco! Now that we have a comfortable lead -- Wright for his third complete game?
-
I know. It's an "appearance of evil" thing.

I've seen the review guys get it right a lot more often than they got it wrong. But would it kill them to set up shop in Louisville or some place that has no direct affiliation with any of the 30 teams? That said, as long as an ump's humble enough to ask for help, they tend to get it right the vast majority of the time too. Anyone else bring Game 6 2004 ALCS to mind? We thought there'd be another major miscarriage of justice, like the Offerman phantom tag or the Daimerball "home run" but the umps actually got together and got the call right and then they got another call right on I want to say Bellhorn's home run that was initially ruled a "wall ball double" off some dude's hoodie. The NYY fans appreciated these correct calls on review so much that the teams had to come off the field and New York's Finest had to patrol the foul lines for the rest of the game. If replay did nothing else for us at least it did formalize the process of how to resolve dubious or disputable calls.
-
Which is fine because the fans of the team that did lose will file the appropriate complaints so we're not missing out on the other half of the whining..
-
And even if you couldn't... putting electronic markers on a player's uniform, one at the letters, one at the knees, is something that could have done 40 years ago. With modern motion capture that probably isn't even necessary.

Clay Buchholz - Is he worth the 2016 option?
Dojji replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
No kidding. Lester was moved on to Oakland despite still being Jon Lester, just because he wanted a reasonable contract -- and it took 10 games of abject horridness before they finally decided that they had to move on from Buchholz. Logic is not what huh... -
Penny finished 2009 with a 93 ERA+ 83 ERA+ with the red sox. Not even close to the worst we've ever seen. Although I do have to admit, I blocked daisuke Matsuzaka's 2012 campaign from my memory.
-
your memory is faulty. Clement came back from that beanball to the head and pitched alright later in that season. clement then went on to be the worst Red Sox starter I've ever seen in 2006 before going down to a shoulder injury (nothing to do with the head) and never pitching in the big leagues again.
-
That's why I prefer LD-GB-FB. It pretty much tells you how well a hitter finds that ideal angle.
