Papelbon's gone. Bard is in the rotation. Somehow some of us think that we can run like last year, losing in April and Winning through May-Aug. I don't see that happening unless the FO make a move (whatever that means). BP is as important as the rotation. Some underrate them. You just can't win games without a decent one. Our is very close to be a mediocre one. Aceves is not a closer. Morales is not a setup guy. Tazawa is a mystery. After them, what you got?.

The worst about this, is not the L, or the 15 Runs, or the 3-consecutive L or the 35+ Rs we ate in the last 3 games . The worst thing about this is that our pitching staff could tax this pressure to the offense and that could bring us even more problems. Yeah, they are professionals but you still feel. I'm not sure if mentally they are ready to face Today's game.

As always, very clear and accurate in your ideas my friend. Great post. I was having this BBQ with my father and mother as well while watching the game. When the 7th inning ended, all turned from happy faces to long faces. It was really heartbreaking. In your place, against your worst enemy and celebrating your 100 years, losing like this simply has no name. We ate 18 Rs a couple of days ago, yesterday 6, today 15.... what the hell is going on in our team? Probably the sold out streak is in risk. John Henry needs to open the wallet or Ben needs to make a majestic trade, but something needs to happen, and soon.

This is an unbalanced team. In order to turn around, you need the pieces. We do not have a true closer. We do not have a strong BP. Bard as a starter is a mystery. Repko and McD are not the answer. Salty can't hit and his defense is poor. Youk is lost in the plate. Can CC bounce back?, IDK. I'm worried about Buch. IDK when Ells is going to comeback and must important, how, etc. When you look these signs , the panorama is not encouraging. Do not be surprised if we end up in the 4th place, hope no. We'll see.

This is not about heart or effort IMO. This is about lack/ability to perform in some of them, specially in our pitching.
-
BtW I like the idea to move back Bard to BP. I only want to see how they going to address the 5th spot in the rotation. Should they consider Oswalt? If healthy, of course!
-
If this true, who will be the 5th SP? Cook?
-
B. if we fail, it won't likely be because of him, as I said, we have too much holes and experiments running in this team. A lot of ifs, wishes, hopes, etc. if we fail, charge this to the FO, again. On the other hand in the sin you got the penitence.

I would give gold to hear their conversations right now.

You are an idiot and I'm a hypocrite. This is his modus operandi when someone disagrees with him/her.

Take a pill and siesta, that could help.
-
This 10000000 times.

They could make the changes in the offseason and they didn't. If they really want to make changes now, will be more complicated IMO, regardless games are running and we are losing; by the time could be late, we'll see though.
-
Oh, I meant this game. But sure, if this continue for another month, will be very tough come back.
-
Ortiz face says it all.
-
now this is turning comical.
-
Yup. You simply do not have the pieces.
-
Es correcto my friend. This is painful.
-
The worst pitching staff in the majors, gentlemen. The worst. I wonder if BV has his days counted in Boston. Hear the people in Fenway, wow!
-
I wonder how many Rs need this pitching staff in order to win a game... How many?
-
Setups and closers are overrated. Sure.
-
-
And here we go.... Seems like mentally we are done, we'll see.
-
With another SP Bard could've been pitching right now, or in the next inning. Now Ace is your only option in order to eat these two innings. We'll see how it will go, though, but again we are playing with fire.
-
Yup, there's no more choices Jung. This is the kind of pressures that were suitable for Papelbon, we'll see how it goes for ACE.
