  1. Great, now I gotta go google Porter's Lodge.
  2. Yup, Ben was a boob who should not be given any credit for the 2012 CC/Beckett/Agon dump as that was a "John Henry" move. Ahh, the good ol' days. There hasn't been an entertaining fight on here in a long time. Although, it's nice to not have to constantly read nonsense about guys like Carlos "Hi Ho" Silva. When you are complaining about guys that won't even make an opening day roster, you should probably just log off.
  3. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?playerid=5401&position=P&season=2017 Brad Peacock has been really f***ing good this year. LOL
  4. I keep forgetting to google this when I'm not on my work computer.
  5. As always, a "panic move" is any move that a poster doesn't agree with. I don't think the Sox have made any panic moves this year. The last potential panic move was the deal for Pomeranz, but that was a move strictly to get Ortiz one last playoff run. Too bad he didn't pitch last year the way he is doing now.
  6. Well, the original plan should always be "if a guy is mashing in MiLB" bring him up.
  7. That's a Farrell issue.
  8. Over 140 games in 5 of last 6? Nope. 2015 - 93 games. 2014 - 135 games. He had serious injuries in 2010 and 2015. Time will tell how many games he ends up with this year.
  9. Devers is OPSing 1.231 with the big club. His soft contact % is only 10.5. He's been worth $4.7M in his first 6 games. If we still had the old site, there'd be a Devers emoticon by now.
  10. Good thing they traded for Nunez! Sheesh...
  11. http://www.masslive.com/redsox/index.ssf/2017/07/dustin_pedroia_injury_second_b.html#incart_river_index Dustin Pedroia missed his third straight game on Monday and has played just 85 of 107 games this year as he manages an ailing left knee. Red Sox manager John Farrell admitted that a stint on the disabled list for Pedroia is not out of the question. Pedroia, who had offseason knee surgery, aggravated the knee on a collision in Baltimore with Manny Macado in April, but Farrell said the overall volume of play has Pedroia down. "The problem for Dustin is and will be, he has a bad knee," Dombrowski said. "He's had it for years, he's going to have to deal with that and he does, he works very hard, the training staff works very hard on it. John works with him and tries to give him days when he needs to. That's something we're going to have to deal with for extended time periods.
  12. Price to 60 day DL. Fister DFA'd.
  13. That's fine. Abad and Scott are still better against LHB though. Abad gets a lot of crap around here and by the Boston Media. He's been good this year.
  14. Pedroia has a lengthy history of playing through injuries and trying to be a gamer. My only wonder is if other Sox are doing the same thing? It's a long season and I don't think other players get the same credit that Pedroia does when he dealing with a thumb or a knee or whatever. Xbo was playing with a banged up wrist. Betts and Nunez both ran hard into the wall in the past few games. Now that they have a real super utility guy in Nunez, they need to give all their regulars a good amount of rest down the stretch. If they make the playoffs, they'll need everyone to be healthy. I will definitely not contribute to the conspiracy that talking to the media (ala Price and Pedroia) gets you put directly on the DL and away from fans.
  15. Nope. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?playerid=10586&position=P&season=2017 http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?playerid=4994&position=P&season=2017 Abad is has a .520 OPS against LHB, Reed has .656. In 2015, Smith had a .588 OPS against LHB and he's injured right now. Abad needs to be on this team. In fact, Robby Scott should probably be on the team too (.470 OPS vs LHB).
  16. "He looks so good in that uniform!" - Way too many scouts these days
  17. Sale vs Carrasco
  18. A lot of scouts still fall in love with an athletic build. I just want a guy that can hit.
  19. TalkSox has a long history of profane language. I'm not sure where the new outrage has come from.
  20. No, he's a dirt dog. He's just a dirt dog that has frequent vet visits. Pedroia averages 137 games a year (only counted full seasons, not rookie year or this year). Manny averaged 140 his first 7 years with the Sox (didn't count half 2008 season).
  21. A bullpen with no LHP? I'm still not sure why everyone is so down on Abad. LHB are pretty weak against him this year. He just needs to be used effectively.
  22. Devers isn't 6'2"
  23. I'd trade this offense for the mid 80's cardinals for sure.
  24. Devers isn't ready! Cafardo told me!
