    This offense could get really, really, disgustingly good.
  2. SoxFanForsyth
    Kind of like right now, it seems?
  3. SoxFanForsyth
    It was a 1-2 changeup, come on man. His stance was definitely closed a significant amount more than last year too.
  4. SoxFanForsyth
    Atta boy Craw!!! Now steal 2nd!!!
  5. SoxFanForsyth
    That's why you don't freaking make that throw Gonzo. Make them get a hit. Freaking brutal.
  6. SoxFanForsyth
    Jesus Christ Gonzo WTF are you doing?!?

    Look at you, NESN, with your new scoreboard!!
  9. SoxFanForsyth
    Here we go! Win!!!

    Yea, ya know, to be honest with you, I'm not really all that happy with Cook starting. I don't think starting him is worth a missed start by Lester, Beckett, Buchholz, Doubront, or Morales.
  11. SoxFanForsyth
    Any projections for Crawford? I say 3-5, Double, SB, 2 Runs. Big night in return.
  12. SoxFanForsyth
    Me freaking too!!!

    Ortiz vs LHP - .964 OPS Ellsbury vs LHP - .971 OPS (16 PA in 2012), .841 OPS last year Gonzo vs LHP - .781 OPS this year (higher than that vs RHP), .787 OPS vs LHP last year. It's not like you have a bunch of sub .700 OPS vs LHP guys. These guys all hit LHP well, certainly well enough not to merit a RHH between them. If Middlebrooks had a .964 OPS vs LHP and he was hitting between Ells, Craw, and Gonzo, nobody would bat an eye. But since Ortiz is a left handed hitter, he's not allowed to hit left handed pitchers. It's so stupid. And a700 agrees with me. :thumbsup:

    I'm not making excuses. I'm just saying it's not entirely on him. Let's see what he can do when he's got a manager who shows confidence in him.
  16. SoxFanForsyth
    He played 130 games and didn't hit anywhere more than 48 times. He hit in 7 spots last season. For a player who obviously thrives on consistency, that's being mismanaged. And he had a .694 OPS, not a .600. I'm not blaming it entirely on Francona, but the guy preaches track records. He sticks with Ortiz and Pedroia at the top of the order because he knows they'll turn it around. But then he starts shifting Crawford around in the order after, what, 2 games? Come on man. Crawford is a guy who has a very good history. You don't throw him down in the 7 or 8 slot after a bad start. He gets out of his game and starts trying to do too much. He's a top of the order, base sealing run scorer. For a guy coming onto a new team with a huge contract, the one thing you want is to make him comfortable. If Crawford is hitting, the team is better. You slide him in the 2 hole and leave him there.

    BOOM!!! Hell yes!!!!! I cannot wait for this s***. Ells Craw. Love it. It's about time this guy stopped getting the s*** mismanaged out of him. Look at Maddon. That guy has Pena hitting leadoff half the time. He is the king of off-the-wall lineups. He thinks outside of the box more than anyone. And Crawford hit 2nd or 3rd in virtually every game for him. That alone should tell you something.
  18. SoxFanForsyth
    Ortiz has a .964 OPS vs LHP. He's better than most RHH vs LHP.
  19. SoxFanForsyth
    You can easily tell based on the chalk. Edit: Not to mention how much more relaxed his front leg looks. In the before picture, his front leg looks like he's almost flexing it, or stretching his groin. In the 2nd, he looks much more relaxed. I'm telling you, this is going to be a different Carl Crawford. Much, much better than last year's version.

    If you don't want to compare them via video, here's a screen grab of the before and after.

    And by the way, I'm watching video of Crawford. His stance has closed by a significant amount. Video from this year - http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?content_id=23043647&sid=t533 Video from last year - http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=18359647&c_id=mlb There is a massive, massive difference. He's closed his stance by around 6-7 inches, easy. Maybe more. I would say his heel is closer now than his toe was last year.
  22. SoxFanForsyth
    So Crawford is coming back tomorrow. I am thrilled, myself. I can't freaking wait for this guy to step in and be a game changer, because that's what's going to happen. Regardless of whether you agree with me or not, here's my question - What is your lineup tomorrow night? I would go: Ellsbury Crawford Middlebrooks Ortiz Gonzalez Ross Salty Aviles Ciriaco
  23. SoxFanForsyth
    I would pull the trigger on that deal so fast it would be ridiculous.
