    Well, I'd say we're on our way to either the #6 or #7 pick in this year's draft.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I'm only following the game on Gameday, but it's showing that Carpenter was hitting 95-97 with his fastball.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Ciriaco went for a walk too.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Facing this current edition of the Red Sox lineup is a pitcher's dream.

    Josh Beckett just retired Marco Scutaro on a popup to Adrian Gonzalez.
  6. Bellhorn04
    You guys deserve a lot of credit for keeping a game thread going.

    I don't think losses are a very key stat for closers. Chapman has been totally lights-out but still has 4 losses. Some of those could be from getting put in tie games in the 9th inning or later, and maybe having to work a second inning.

    Ortiz will be an interesting case. I'd like to see him back. But in some respects re-signing him might not be the smart move.

    Last 20 games for Beltre: 418/447/949 10 HR 23 RBI You don't see a .949 slugging pct. for 20 games too often.

    Lackey won't be gone. Trading him now would make little sense.
  11. Bellhorn04
    What about Ortiz?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Beltre has been insane lately.

    I find the way Papelbon is talked about by some fans kind of symptomatic of the way Red Sox fans treat some of their best performers. Papelbon is easily the best closer the Red Sox have ever had, or since Dick Radatz I guess. But even though he's been one of the best at his position in team history, he still takes a lot of abuse. Nobody talks about the 25 straight scoreless postseason innings anymore, but they sure talk about the blown saves in 2009 and last September. Ortiz is another example. For the last few years a lot of people have been itching to send him on his way.

    I'm not terribly upset that Paps is gone, but mid-tier? I have to object to that. He's 31 of 35 in saves, which is bang on his career average. His WHIP is almost identical to his career average. His K/BB is a little better than his career average. And as always for the last 6 years, he's been perfectly healthy. Who exactly, besides Rivera, are you rating above Papelbon, and by what statistical measures?
  15. Bellhorn04
    You're right. BV is the only story left this year and the Boston media is now focussed on him 24-7.
  16. Bellhorn04
    It seems strange hearing this kind of hyperbole about a player who is muddling along with a line of 262/306/362 and 2 HR in 56 games. Perhaps the injury has contributed to the struggles, but perhaps that's not such a good thing either.
  17. Bellhorn04
    But you haven't explained why it was foolish to hire him.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Done and done.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Wow. They are really taking this sucking thing seriously. They've already got Valentine fired but that's not slowing them down in the least. Top 5 draft pick here we come.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Halifax is great. There are a lot of Sox fans here. I was in Moncton, New Brunswick last weekend to see Springsteen, and there were a lot of people wearing Sox hats.
  21. Bellhorn04
    They should have paid Valentine a healthy bonus to agree not to write any books for a few years after the end of his tenure.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I try to enjoy these things more quietly than some people.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Who knows what Farrell is thinking. Returning to the Sox might be tempting to him. More money, a bigger payroll, maybe a more realistic shot at a ring within a few years. Or maybe he wants no part of it.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for the guy. Red Sox managers always to seem to go out ugly.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I don't think the Yankees have ever blown a lead of any significance in the regular season.
