  1. Make up for it in ticket price and concession increases. Less tickets should lead to greater demand.
  2. They also hyped Bogaerts. He turned out ok. The hype train for the young pitchers on the farm is still in the station at the moment.
  3. I think his D outweighs his meager bat. If you're under .500, it's most likely not due to your #9 hitter.
  4. 150 game schedule that includes day/night double headers. Get rid of interleague play. Pitch clock of 20 seconds. Salary floor of $50M per MLB team. Get rid of instant replay. Have the bottom 3 teams from each league ineligible for the following year's playoffs. Make umps go back to the 80's style chest shields or move to a robotic strike zone.
  5. They're losing regardless of Drew's presence in the lineup. He's not the issue. JBJ is not the issue. The issue is Vic and Napoli have missed time, the bullpen has regressed, Doubront and Buchholz have been horrendous and the corner OFers have been brutal.
  6. No one is going to want Drew in a trade unless the Sox eat most of his salary AND he starts to hit.
  7. He's an outstanding defender. If he's not hitting, it's not the end of the world. If Sizemore/Gomes/Carp/Nava aren't hitting, they're useless.
  8. One other observation: Cecchini's walk up music is embarrassingly bad. I'll be going to Thursday's game as well and will try to note how Renaudo looks.
  9. Dollars to donuts, JBJ is more likely to be sent to Pawtucket than be traded. He has too much upside to dump at this point.
  10. Good news? Ok. We got to sit on the infield grass and watch the post game fireworks.
  11. Hard to move a guy you just signed for 11M.
  12. I went to SATURDAY's game, not Friday. Sorry..,
  13. Went to Friday's game. He looked ok. No real issues in CF. Barnes pitched well until his last inning. Good command. Cecchini was solid. Vasquez had a decent night too.
  14. I have the very same question.
  15. Fred, you realize that even if they drafted 12 OFers that it would help the big league team for another 3 years at least...
  16. It's like he's never won a World Series before or made any deadline deals...
  17. Yeah, Gomes is NOT an everyday player. The lack of a viable platoon partner (sorry Nava, Carp and Grady), is really hurting the middle of the order.
  18. They lost Ells and Vic, but Carp and Nava's production bottomed out as well. They brought in Sizemore for upside and he's been garbage. Gomes has shown why he only lasts two seasons at each stop. The only ok option is the light hitting JBJ who plays amazing defense. The rest of it sucks.
  19. @Jared_Carrabis: Here's where Xander Bogaerts ranks in the MLB since May 17: .406 AVG (2nd), .468 OBP (3rd), .696 SLG (8th), 1.163 OPS (5th). #RedSox
  20. @OverTheMonster: Xander has moved up into the top-20 in terms of fWAR.
  21. @PeteAbe: Word here in Cleveland is the game could start around 9 p.m. Rain expected to clear.
  22. Workman vs Kluber Leave the brooms at home Clevelanders.
  23. He's a 23 yr old outstanding defensive catcher batting .270 in AAA. He'll be on the opening day roster next year. Could he hit any worse than Ross at this point?
  24. Betts was promoted to AAA and promptly went 0-4, K, BB.
