  1. He'll definitely retire a Red Sox, no doubt there. And I agree Theo will bring him back until Wake decides to hang 'em up, but the question is in what capacity will he be back? I think if he is back next year it will be in the same role that he was brought back for this year. Plan A, he's the long reliever out of the pen and Plan B or C if things don't shake out well with the rotation, he's a starter until someone gets healthy or something. He isn't going to be penciled into a rotation spot. He hasn't been since 2009. I think Dojji is trying to say "sign papelbon, nevermind the 5th spot of the rotation that's what Wake is for" but that doesn't seem likely to me.
  2. Has Reddick seen three pitches tonight? Pathetic.
  3. That home run really killed off this thread, huh?
  4. Are they kidding with all of these 1 pitch AB's? What the f***?
  5. Games like this suck. Jennings > Crawford.
  6. Crawford has the plate discipline of a meth addict.
  7. YEEEAAAHHH!!! Got my fantasy points for Kotchman, got to see something I've never seen the sox do. AROUND THE HORN TRIPLE PLAY!!!
  8. I don't know if you can ever say a guy who is hitting .350 is "not doing so good" but I wonder if maybe some of those shoulder problems from last year are bothering him and zapping his power.
  9. Oh well, next time, singles hitter.
  10. Now would be a nice time for some A-Gon power.
  11. who's psyched for Tek and McDonald this inning? I know I am
  12. I disagree.:dunno: Not trying to pile on Lowrie either, but at this stage of the game 1 run doesn't mean a whole lot. The risk of extra pitches and more runs is why you take the out at first and get the next guy. I don't know if there is a right or wrong play there, but I'm a guy who values his 27 outs and values taking them from the other guy. Wow, Sox really worked some counts that inning, huh? We're playing some frustrating ball lately.
  13. Silver lining: Bedard looks great.
  14. still had to corral the ball and make the tag. idk. the problem wasn't the drop.
  15. If he makes that play we're all having a party, but no matter what home was a dumb place to throw the ball in that situation. If they score 2-out runs in this inning, it's basically all on Lowrie.
  16. We've got some down right stupid players on this team.
  17. Lowrie, are you f***in' serious? Concede the run, get the f***ing out what are you doing?
  18. A nice 1-2 hook could make that problem go away
  19. Bedard threw a nice cutter first pitch of the inning. Reminds me of Becketts cutter that showed up in the '07 post season. It's not an amazing pitch on it's own, but it's a guaranteed strike once or twice a game.
  20. Given that Lackey has proved himself to be a big walking talking question mark, I can't see the Sox going into next year with him and wake filling out the back end as their plan A. Mind you, it took a regular SP getting TJ surgery to put Wake in the rotation full-time this year.
  21. Yeah for his ~20% below average performance over 140 IP or less. I think you're trolling at this point.
  22. Yeah, I would be somewhat surprised if Wakefield played next year, but even if he did I can't see him being penciled into a rotation slot. Given how poor he and Lackey have been, I think letting our closer go and improving the back end of the rotation would be a big net gain for the team. I think that'd be pretty hard to argue against given Bard could be paid 1/10th what Papelbon will make and do every bit as good of a job. Beckett, Lester, Buchholz and Lackey are the guys we have who we know will absolutely be in the rotation next year. That leaves one spot to speculate about AND we've gotta pay Papi. A lot of this could be moot if the Sox stay under the lux tax this year. I think they'd have no problem going over a bit to round out the roster if that were the case.
