    Welcome aboard!

    I would say, only trust a LOOGY against a guy who absolutely stinks against lefties.

    That's money, baby!

    Nope, don't want someone questioning whether I really enjoy those Rob Levine dressed as a Red Sox player commercials or not. https://www.roblevine.com/

    Someone did wonder if we could convert Kimbrel to a starter on here recently. Maybe? I leave Porcello in through the 5th no matter what. You start the game, you own it. If he gives up 6 runs in the first, just let him keep going and don't completely obliterate the pen. They will be out West until Sunday night. They have Monday off, but flying from the West Coast back to the East Coast is f***ing terrible.

    Small sample size. You can throw out the 8th and 9th inning stats.

    Hernandez above Travis? I guess we really have no idea what he'll look like upon returning from injury. Honestly, no one outside of the top 5 should be counted on for much of anything. I'd love to see Johnson become productive, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

    No, you goober. This is the gamethread.

    As for Porcello, last time out was his best start. Thankfully, he got to pitch against a AAAA lineup that also featured Mike Trout. Seattle has the 3rd most HR's in all of MLB, but is middle 3rd for most other batting stats. Key will be not giving up the long ball. Porcello has not given up a HR over his previous 3 starts. If he can continue that trend, the Sox should win this one.

    Do you guys think putting Benintendi 9th is the best slot for him? I know Farrell said that he wants Beni hitting right before Betts, but I think my line up (if Hanley is out) would be: Betts Pedey Bogaerts Ortiz JBJ Hill Shaw Beni Leon I'm only putting Hill up that high because I didn't want the lineup to go 3 straight lefties Ortiz-JBJ-Shaw.

    To me, I think every bullpen arm could be available tonight as no one out there has had more than one appearance over the past 3 games. Buchholz pitched or 3 innings on Sunday, so he technically may be available. However, I would probably not bring him in unless this goes to extras. If the Sox are ahead by more than 3 runs, I would warm Ross in the 7th and go from there. If the game gets too close, bring in Ziegler and Kimbrel. If the Sox are ahead by less than 3 runs, I go straight to Taz in the 7th, Ziegler in the 8th and Kimbrel in the 9th. If the Sox are down, I bring Ross in to put out the fire and have Barnes/Abad finish the rest of the game.

    Post your ideas on how to utilize the bullpen now so that you don't get questioned about it later.

    Porcello pitches vs Iwakuma tonight, but nobody gives a s*** about that. Benintendi begins his sprint to the HOF tonight ladies and germs... Get hype...
  14. mvp 78
    I'm staying up for tonight's game and will be sure to post ALL of my thoughts in real time. A700, I'm coming for your post total.
  15. mvp 78
    I'm worried about overusing pitchers like Taz and Uehara who have been run into the ground before, not all the other flotsam and jetsam in the bullpen. At 90 pitches, Price is probably down to like 70% effectiveness. At that point, is he more or less effective than say a 100% Noe Ramirez with the bases empty? That's up for discussion. Honestly, you're on the a West Coast Road Trip TM and you need to steal the wins when you can. If that means being a little more aggressive with the bullpen, so be it.
  16. mvp 78
    That would probably be the best Clay start of the year.
  17. mvp 78
    Does he ever?
  18. mvp 78
    Because not all of us sit in the gamethread itching to post every specific thought that comes into our heads.

    Don't worry everyone: OGANDO HAS OPTED OUT OF HIS CONTRACT!!! We can get him back!

    Sox are still not done with the testing yet as of 30 minutes ago.
  22. mvp 78
    No, the mistake he made was not having someone already warming up. Bringing in Abad was not a mistake. If you take too long to get your guys warmed up, you're going to always be too slow with the hook.
  23. mvp 78
    Greinke was able to deal with his psychological issues. I'm hope Johnson can as well.
  24. mvp 78
    @overthemonster has generally horrible opinions. That twitter feed is basically a pom pom squad for whatever the Sox do.
  25. mvp 78
    Hanley has been perfectly capable at 1b. That shouldn't even be a question. At this point, it's the only position he could field.
