waste of time cp, it's just the way it is.
-
Seems like Larry is embarraseed as well haha.. Geeez! This FO has to go, this franshise is going right to the drain just like that.
-
When I make the balance, it is not favaroble by far, it's just what I'm saying. We are one of the worst teams in baseball. He has to go.
-
Just noticed that his ERA is the worst in the ALE.
-
yup, U?'s modus operandi. BC has to go. Farrell has to go... but this thing is on Porcello. He is simply a bad pitcher with one fluke year (which wasn't that good). Nothing more, nothing less.
-
U? is the only one beating that drum. Just a cop out to dodge the fact that he is a bad pitcher.
-
The BL is that other GMs always find a way to get good players and we don't. Said that, BC has to go.
-
Yup. Actually Porcello himself is indeed aware that the problem is his command and execution. As I said, shut him down until the all-star game and help him fix this.
-
Seems like the problem is not the using of his sinker. He is using it but, he has lost command. Porcello, dressed in funereal black while standing in front of his locker, dismissed the suggestion that he was "lost” on the mound. "No, I don't feel lost," he said. "I know what's going on. A lot of fat pitches. Bottom line is executing. That's it." While it was a huge mistake, first off trading him and then giving him that extension, It is not Farrell's or Ben's fault regarding his execution. This is on him and at least he is aware of it. Shut him down till the all-star game and work with him whatever he has to work. it's enough already.
-
yeah, he's what I call consistency and durability.
-
In the meantime, Buehrle is 36 YO and he is still looking very good, isn't he, Pal?
-
Yup, just do not let hm pitch for a while, he is killing this team.
-
Probably a AAAA profile is what he is in the ALE. As I said since day one, He was a mediocre pitcher in the ALC but in the ALE, He will be destroyed.
-
it's pitching coach's fault, don't you get it? haha Seriously, find a way to get rid of this garbage.
-
Porcello is a joke. A bad joke indeed.
-
on game at a time.... Go Sox!
-
I would start rebuilding the FO. Then everything else. Once again in the last place is inexcusable, so BC has to go.
-
That's the thing. The owner hires you to command/lead/implement whatever strategy/process that has made you successful as a GM regardless the industry. This is what/why you are paid to do. Said that, the process has practically zero importance when most of your decisions have not worked out, not for 1 but 3 of the last 4 years with plenty of resources. Results are what keep you in that chair. BL. Processes are meaningless without results.
-
You better don't f*** this up, Masterson.

Hey Spud, here the JBJ's throw analysis you were talking about. http://nesn.com/2015/06/jackie-bradley-jr-s-rocket-arm-analyzed-with-statcast-metrics-video/

Red Sox @ Rays 6/26

I think where is the issue, SK. No one here is disputing that Ben made this moves without a plan or a case behind each move. Of course he and his colleagues had their reasons to do, whatever they tried to do. In fact some like you agreed with most of their decisions, didn't you? And it is fine. On the other hand, other fans, experts, etc. like me, thought that this strategy was a bad idea since day 1, and we as Ben, rest our cases as well. In the end, the entire strategy has not worked out for whatever reason. His responsibility does not end once the the product is on the field, No sir. His responsibility depends on the result of the product, since he is the GM, regardless the strategy he decided to use.

Span Poll: Can 2015 be salvaged for the Boston Red Sox ?
iortiz replied to a700hitter's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
2013 was great and I won't take away credit to anyone here, but when you are in the middle of 3 bad seasons, not mediocre, very horrible with one of the highest payrolls in baseball, it suggests me that 2013 was kind of a fluke year (stars aligned or whatever you want to call it) than anything else. As I said, thanks for 2013, it was great but we have to move on. -
... and LOB%? 79%.
