    You two just don't get it. You're not the solution, you are the problem.

    I like the lineup.

    Man that Greg Maddux guy sure f***ing SUCKED. And.....wait for it......remember how BADLY iortiz wanted the Red Sox to sign Mark Buehrle? He of the career 5.2 K rate? The inconsistencies of iortiz' thought process make Glenn Beck look like goddamn Plato.

    What else is he going to say? He's not going to throw them under the bus. This is 2015, pitchers have a game plan prepared before the game, and it's the coaching staff and catcher who call the pitches.

    Actually, it's because you're a pussy and iortiz is dumber than a box of crayons. Let's call a spade a spade. We've discussed this Porcello issue ad nauseum, it is what it is. He's a better pitcher than this, and whatever performance issues he's having fall largely on the shoulders of the Red Sox. I find it hilarious that as much as the whiners on this site like to bash the FO, the one time they have a legitimate reason to do so, they don't, because they're banding behind iortiz' idiotic notion that getting a pitcher who's improved over the past three years at prime age for a below-market number of years is a bad idea. You people seriously need to get your head checked (and some need improvements to their english). That is all.

    My eyes hurt reading some of this stuff.

    You're goddamn right is what I think.

    I still cannot understand why the Sox would tinker with Porcello. He fit their supposed offseason plan to a T.

    Your spanish is f***ing terrible. Stick to your day job.

    A fan that wants a player on his team to fail so he can "be right" is a s***** fan.

    BJ ended up being a bust, Longoria was a first-round stud, Crawford was a tweener who didn't really excel at anything and was massively overrated. Most of their '08-forward core consisted of early first-round studs, and the Sox have barely picked top-10 in the last decade. It's just not equal footing.

    Well s*** this team's starting to hit the cover off the ball. Do they have a run in them?

    But their offensive homegrown talent sucks. It's usually a matter of development/drafting strategy. Also, all of those 1st rd picks they amassed over the years, didn't hurt, and they've recycled most of the high-talent arms they were bound to lose via FA into younger high-talent arms, helping them cycle pitching seamlessly.

    Dear Lord, you're a simpleton.

    They're tinkering with Porcello's approach to increase his K%, which has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever seen this team do. Some of the greatest pitchers of the steroid era made their living off of keeping the ball low and inducing weak contact. Porcello was able to do just that, and they supposedly built a team to increase the effectiveness of that strategy, then turn around and say "f*** it, them K's are sexy". Wat?

    What do you base this opinion on? Developing MLB SP is an inexact science. It's easy to complain about player development and evaluation when you don't know how it works or what their philosophy is.

    I hate this team right now.

    Pedroia= heart and soul of this team

    Just an excellent post all around.

    This post is worth its weight in online gold.

    Again, this is a terribly mismanaged team. So many people underperforming at the same time points to a management problem, and by extension, a GM problem.

    The pitching staff as almost a whole? Napoli's not old enough to have hit the wall THAT hard. Spare parts like Nava who are out of the roster but contributed to a number of losess, etc.

    Gom is angling for your anus Jacko. Watch out!

    Reading about it on mlb.com right now. Uh-oh.

    Closer is not this team's problem, and Papelbon is not that good. Case closed.
