  1. I see what you're doing here
  2. .611 OPS against them entering tonight. Yikes
  3. Expect a homer barrage from Napoli starting tonight.
  4. And right after this post Dempster immediately gets a lightning-quick, 1-2-3 inning.
  5. Does that mean they should get rid of him? Because that's what you implied. Also, he really isn't. That honor would belong to Doubront, which isn't saying much.
  6. ....or we can not be reactionary fans and understand that Dempster's been pretty decent, but as expected, he will go through rough stretches.
  7. ......or none of us really know what's going on (and maybe neither do them) and you're just making a very uneducated assumption. Just sayin
  8. http://espn.go.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/9497302/clay-buchholz-boston-red-sox-seek-second-opinion-dr-james-andrews-monday First it was the trap, then it was shoulder discomfort, now it's a neck strain. And as the article explains, it's both Buch and the Red Sox who share frustration. It's not "Red Sox are pissed because Buch doesn't wanna pitch".
  9. Sox need to hammer fatty
  10. Dempster needs to stop sucking like, now.
  11. That depends. If it's a duel of aces and they're working fast and pounding the zone, it doesn't matter what offensive approach is used. The game will be over fast.
  12. No, no it isn't. What is easy to surmise is the fact that they don't know exactly what's wrong with him. If they're all frustrated about something, it's that. The rest is guesswork. Point me in the general direction of actual evidence to the contrary instead of general assumption and makeshift conclusions.
  13. This is obviously something you're making up jung. Where's the evidence that this is the case?
  14. You mean like every other team in the league? Offenses are inconsistent because they face different caliber pitching on a nightly basis. If they're leading the MLB in scoring, it's because they've been the best offense so far, and that means that offense is not the problem.
  15. So if they fail to make the playoffs this year they are not well positioned to make the playoffs for several years after even though they have several near-ready arms in the farm and the resources to trade for/sign pretty much any player they want to? Fred, this is the definition of a logical fallacy.
  16. Fred, they are scoring runs by the boatload, for one. Hitting is not the problem. Second, if they were to get a run-producing bat, it'd probably be a guy who also strikes out a lot. How a bat can even be mentioned while the BP is in shambles and Buchholz injured with Lester sucking is beyond me.
  17. Is there something you actually like Station?
  18. The Red Sox lead the league in pretty much every meaningful offensive category (OPS, RS, P/PA) other than homers. Their hitting is not the problem.
  19. Welcome to your 2012 Boston Red Sox.......oh wait........
  20. It's much more likely Sale gets traded though, he's also under team control longer. But again, as you say, with a package that size you could pretty much get anyone who's available to be traded.
  21. I don't quite think we're on the same page here. I am saying that package would get it done because it is vastly superior to the one KC sent to the Rays, and that it would get it done. That has been the point all along.
  22. That package is way better than what the Royals gave up for Shields et al. Because of the position he plays, right now Bogaerts is arguably more valuable right now than Myers was last off-season.
  23. Verducci can't prove causation between those two factors. The truth is that the main reason offensive production is going down is probably a lot more related to less PED use than it is to whether or not hitters take pitches. During the years when the biggest offensive numbers were being posted, the "drive pitch counts up and get-on-base" offensive approach was just as en vogue as it is right now.
