Jeez I will be glad when this is over. Gonna' have twelve heart attacks between now and the end.
-
Please let it be Stanton.
-
Workman having another good outing.
-
Well that was all on Iggy unless we think this whole idea of being "relentless" is embedded into their thinking.
-
Drew has had his three AB's this month.
-
Nice AB Naps

Too funny...almost doinked him right in the nuts.
-
I guess the Pats will find a way to use him. Saw some of him the last few days. How can a guy that has so much raw athletic talent look so completely inept throwing the football. Granted he was a "college" quarterback but watching him is staggering. Classic example of a guy that just guts things out and is at his best on game day. However when you watch even his footwork you are left laughing your ass off. Don't know how you would realistically prepare him for a game at QB because his practices at the position appear to be just terrible.

I don't even think these folks have thought through who they would sell and for what! Just crazy!!!

Lee quickly got very expensive. Spending mostly money and a few prospects for Lee would have been fine but now the Phillies appear to want all the top prospects. Have not been thrilled about the idea of going for a starter anyway. But if Lee could have been done without committing crazy prospects, it would have been worth exploring. The whole deadline thing is going nuts now anyway. Was on the road today and listening to the radio, call after call into sports talk radio calling for the Sox to be sellers at the deadline...totally nuts...can't believe people think we should be sellers.

We have a couple of weeks of pretty light scheduling at this point. Maybe we can put together a run, regain first and put some distance between us and the Rays and O's. We just about have to think about these two weeks ahead this way and we have to get it done. After that, it is going to be a hell of a war down to the end.

As far as the way the Sox utilize their speed, Nava has no speed to utilize. He is slow as molasses. Should not have been brought in tonight. That said, the Sox do a poor job of using the speed they have. While you cannot completely discern instinctive base running plays by the player from calls from the dugout, it almost looks like the Sox players with the exception of Nava, make better instinctive plays on the base paths than the Sox coaches make via called plays. That is sort of remarkable. But Nava's problems on the base paths are not known by now by all of us. Farrell should know it by now as well. I just don't know what to say about that. While we are all rank amateurs here compared to MLB coaches, I don't think a single one of us would have looked down the Red Sox bench tonight and pointed to Nava to go in to run for Lavs with other options sitting on the same bench and the game on the line.
-
That right...I forgot about that. Lavs got the double and Nava ran for him...even worse!!!! "Here let me put my slow, inept base runner in.....instead of my fast, competent base runner"....why?????
-
Look at that f***ing replay. The ump is purposefully moving to the 1st base side of the plate...beyond incompetent.
-
Farrell get's my vote for biggest goat. Nava had done the job he could do. Drove the ball to RF for a big hit. Time and time again he has proven inept and slow on the base paths. It has already hurt us before tonight. So why leave him out there to hurt us again? Second goat goes to the ump. I refuse to believe that they teach umps to gravitate to that position on the 1st base side of home plate to make that call. I think the idiot umps gravitate over there and are out of position before the brain actually kicks in to tell them they are out of position. Stupid. Lastly Nava...but we are blaming Nava for being Nava. He has proved time and again that he is a liability on the base paths. Gotta' get him outta' there with the game on the line if you have the chance to do it. Farrell had the chance. I just don't know what he was thinking.
-
Wow...that totally sucked. The base running on this team is terrible and Nava has proven to be slow and inept on the base paths. What the hell does Farrell have to see to get the message. On top of that, the quality of umpiring in this league has maybe actually surpassed the NBA at this point. It is an embarrassment. If Uncle Bud is not going to do anything about the quality of the umps themselves then he has to institute more replay. This is stupid. Every night and almost every crew is just pitiful.
-
Agreed but in all honesty there have been many base running mistakes before tonight. The combination of Farrell in the dugout and Bird Brain in the 3rd base coaching box is deadly.
-
What kills me is that you do see umps get on the 3rd base side of the plate to make that call. Umps should be as responsible for being in position as players...maybe even more so.
-
Another vote for using more replay in MLB. I don't know why the ump positions himself on the first base side of the plate on that play. How is that ever a good position to see that play. The ump is looking intently but at what...Molina's back. What the hell does he think he is going to see from there. I do get it about Nava's lack of speed though. Nava is ridiculously slow. Should not have been out there.
-
Come on NESN..give us a better angle than that. Christ that was no better an angle than the ump had.
-
Might have been a bit of Fenway magic there on Lavs hit. Generally teams know that they have to support the LFer trying to make plays at the Monster. Nobody seemed anywhere near helping the LFer on that.
-
I just don't know what to think about this one. Reports had us very interested in Crain but concerned that Crain had not been able to pitch recently, right when the Sox wanted to see something from him. Maybe you could credit the Rays for being creative enough to come up with a way to maybe get themselves an arm if they have protected themselves adequately. On the other hand, in this town, the FO gets strung up by the thumbs when stuff like this backfires. There are still guys out there the Sox could get. If they do nothing for the pen, I guess I would remember this deal and might be disappointed. I would reserve judgement on this one for about a thousand reasons.
-
NESN poll about favorite seats at Fenway has Monster Seats rated real high. If I had my choice, I would choose the Loge Box seats that used to be the Sox team family member seats....around section 106, the first box seats just under the roof so you did not have to move when the rain started coming down. Did not fry in the sun either. Just left of and a little lower than my old season seats.
-
Hey Hey...God could intervene here. Price might be forced out with the rain...bring on wild man Rodney!!!
-
UN is right though..if we can get Rodney out there as good as Price has been, it is not at all hard to think we could get one off of Rodney and force it to extras. Heck Rodney could wild pitch his way to a run. At this rate though, Price could actually pitch extras. So gotta' get something to happen with the damn pitch count.
