  1. Weather.com doesn't have it starting until 11, so hopefully they get the whe thing in. But getting an early lead would certainly be helpful.
  2. Of course not. This team cannot have 25 healthy guys on the roster. Short rosters are mandatory.
  3. Lyle Overbay vs RHP: .296/.339/.546 Mark Teixiera vs RHP (2012): .239/.331/.438 The biggest upgrade that Tex will provide will be vs LHP. But even that only represents ~30% of the total at bats. Mind you, it's an enormous upgrade (Tex .865 OPS vs LHP in 2012, Overbay .416 OPS vs LHP in 2013) but again, you face a large majority of RHP rather than LHP. Sidenote: Can we please stop pretending that, just because Tex missed the actual month of April, he won't have a slow start? He's a historically slow starter (career .238/.342/.423 line in March/April). Not only does he start slow when healthy, but he's now had an injury, and not just any injury, a wrist injury. Ask David Ortiz how it feels to hit after a wrist injury. Or Will Middlebrooks.
  4. Christian Vazquez had a huge game at the plate yesterday, going 4-4 with 2 doubles, a triple, and a HR. He's now hitting .298/.412/.479 in AA with a 48% CS%.
  5. I can't handle this anymore. I'm about to have to turn this off. This offense is an absolute joke. It's an embarrassment. This needs to be fixed right now. Call up Brentz. Lavarnway freaking play instead of rotting him on the bench. He's 25 years old and you're sitting him for a guy who cannot hit left handed pitching at all. The tems DL management has been atrocious this year. We waste 2-3 roster slots a game it seems with nick nack injuries that are too bad to play through but not bad enough to DL someone. Victorino, drew, etc. stop playing with a short bench.
  6. Jung do you know how to use the quote function on here properly? Side note: runs pls. Top 5 are our only hope
  7. That's just ridiculous. STOP PLAYING SALTY VS LHP!!!! Gosh that's frustrating. I'm so sick of all of these strikeouts it's ridiculous.
  8. This bottom of the order is embarrassing
  9. Red Sox average 15.28 men LOB/gam. That's 5th worst in baseball, 4th worst in the AL
  10. 9th in MLB, 5th in AL overall but 23 of their 38 GIDP have come in May, and that's the most in the MLB for May.
  11. This team takes entirely too many pitches right down the middle
  12. Gomes has to be due to go deep soon. He didn't miss that by much.
  13. The bottom 5 of our order absolutely reeks of strikeouts
  14. That was a strike em out throw em out but the ump blew it
  15. Middlebrooks' pitch selection was awful there. Took 90 mph middle middle then swings at an I-don't-even-know-what 14 inches off the plate and checks his next swing at the next one in the same spot. That was terrible. Also I despise Nava hitting in the 6 slot vs LHP.
  16. Dang!! I was just coming here to post this exact same thing!!! I think Ells gets hot fast and it all starts tonight.
  17. This team is absolutely snake bitten
  18. Middlebrooks = Goat. How can you swing at that pitch when you're down 2 and the bases are loaded??? That's just infuriating and a horrific at bat by WMB.
  19. Wow come on man that's ridiculous Ellsbury. .304 OBP now. Get this guy out of the freaking lead off slot. He's hitting like Salty without the power
