  1. That game completely sums up our entire season.
  2. And a towering blast in the 9th!
  3. Iggy has looked like Willy Mays (Hayes) tonight!
  4. Iggy's doubled his season hit total thru 2 AB's.
  5. The DH rule is specifically for pitchers
  6. Why not? Neither has shown that they can stay on the field or productive long term. Swap jerseys and see what happens. Looks pretty fair to me
  7. It doesn't work like that. If he's at SS, he hits, plain and simple. The DH can only be used to take the bat out of the pitchers hands.
  8. It wouldn't be a dump. Ellsbury is under team control for 1 more year, Andrus for 2 years. It wouldn't be a 1 for 1 deal either, as I'm sure prospects would be involved. Profar is ready to play, and if Hamilton leaves, a gaping hole opens in the outfield.
  9. Ellsbury for Andrus blockbuster? I'd take that deal every time.
  10. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of any of them, but I follow all of the Arizona teams.
  11. I saw that, I don't care about the D'Backs at all, I just want the Sox to come down.
  12. Wow, no AZ again? Looks like I'll be making a trip to LA next season.
  13. Go Yankees! Wait, what?
  14. Well, I tried. Pedroia went deep, but it was too little, too late. I know everyone wants to tank and get a high draft pick, but I just can't bring myself to rooting against the Sox.
  15. Boy was I dumb for thinking we could beat a worse team.
  16. Laser Show mojo. Pedroia goes deep twice tonight, bank on it.
  17. SSS He only had a .697 OPS thru 24 games this year. Give him time, he'll end up being worth what they're paying.
  18. Whatever helps you sleep at night. No matter how bad the Yankees are right now, the Sox are worse.
  19. Ciriaco is plummeting back to earth. He's just not that good. Iglesias will probably be Rey Ordonez 2.0
  20. There is no way Iggy can play SS and not have to bat. It just doesn't work that way. If the pitcher is batting in an AL game, you have basically forfeited the DH. You can take the bat out of the pitchers hands in an AL game, but you can't take it out of a fielders. If Iggy was DHing, then the manager needs to be fired.
  21. Right now I trust Bard in a high leverage situation about as much as I trust Melancon. If he can get his confidence back and thrive, then next year I'd consider him as the setup guy for Bailey. We brought Bailey in to close, it should be his job to lose.
  22. Lackey Jr. (Lester)
  23. Salty can play 1B or be DFA'd.
  24. Even though I'm against a Hamilton signing, I'm aware that we have no true 3, 4, or 5 hitter if Ortiz walks. Ellsbury and Pedroia are best suited 1-2. Salty, Lavarnway, Ciriaco, Iggy, Kalish, Ross (if he comes back), Pods, Aviles are all 6-9 hitters. Ross could hit 5th, but I think we're better off with him hitting 6th. I think we need to explore a Justin Upton trade. He'd be the perfect #3/4 in our lineup. I've gotten to see him a few times down here and he'd thrive in Boston. He's young, he's got power, and he's not BJ. If we could trade for Upton and an Ace, I think we're right back in the hunt for the division or wild card next year.
  25. I love Joe Mauer and this team could sure use him at C/1B/DH, but I don't think this is the right move. Way too much money for a catcher with a history of leg problems. His value at 1B is minimal compared to C.
