Theo Epstein = 2 Red Sox championships Curt Schilling = 2 Red Sox championships I like them both. I like guys who help the Red Sox win championships and I stay loyal to them.

'Leaving the starter in too long' is a by-product of the modern game where starters only average 6 innings at best, and bullpens are left to cover a pile of innings. All managers do it because a) middle relievers are usually s*****; and if you use the quick hook every time you'll burn the living s*** out of your bullpen. Tito was also accused of doing this far too often by many. Last night Showalter didn't pull Tillman until the end of the 5th with his team losing 6-0. He let Tillman get the last out in the 5th after he'd given up 6 runs, so it could have been more. I'm quite neutral about Farrell now. I feel a little bad for him because he seems to be trying everything with the pitching but the pitchers keep throwing up on themselves. But if replacing him with Lovullo makes the team play better I'm all for it. It's your call, Henry & Dombrowski.

We've now lost 8 games in which we scored 7 or more runs.

2016 Trade and Roster Move Speculation thread
Bellhorn04 replied to Dojji's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
You saw the look that Verlander gave Iggy last night on that toss to first that would have been a double play. Verlander didn't say anything or go all Lackey on him, but it was a long, WTF stare of disbelief that Iggy didn't make the play. -
7/26 vs. Detroit

Coming into this game we've lost 7 games where we scored 7 or more runs. -
I'm quite happy with Mookie being the guy who leads the team in plate appearances.

Outscore them by a significant margin please. -
-
The ideal leadoff hitter is considered to have both power and speed. Mookie fits the bill.
-
Couldn't really expect a career backup guy like Ross to play every postseason game (potentially 19 games) though, I don't think.

This debate is popcorn-worthy.

Surely we can score some runs off Pelfrey. -

If you hadn't thrown in the part about Felix blowing out his arm I would have said yes. -
No, I know you are a Tito guy.
-
And we won in 2004 and 2007 in spite of Tito, in the eyes of many.

Who got hurt by the gorilla suit? It was an in-house dispute that went a little too public, that's all. And it got fixed. Much worse stuff has happened in other orgs. In Boston everything gets blown up into a major scandal. IMHO as always.

As Theo Epstein just reminded us, when you're shooting for a ring you may have to overpay quite a bit. -
Also, if you get 2 manager-bashers together, there's a good chance they will frequently disagree with each other on what the right moves are or were.

Under this particular scenario I would say no. Because getting King Felix and then having his career end like that would be a colossal downer. Plus we'd have to pay him 80 million after 2016. -
Seriously, a Wild Card game would be kind of fun - especially if we win.
-
Showalter does seem to do that. Yet in 17 seasons he has no trips to the Series and an overall postseason record of 9-13.
-
No question.
-
I see no difference between the gorilla suit and some of the stunts Manny pulled. Yes, they were lapses in judgement or behavior, but they don't trump the overall performance. Not for me anyway.
-
Well that's a kick in the teeth...
-
That just might come down to luck of the draw.
