Solid B.
The players play the game. The pen is atrocious. The starting pitching aside from today
has been pretty brutal too:
The NY Post reported:
Clay Buchholz, who has a 9.00 ERA and has allowed five or more runs in each of his three starts, surrendered five homers in six-plus innings. Boston’s top starters, Jon Lester (0-2, 5.82) and Josh Beckett (1-2, 5.03), haven’t been much better.
Something like 60-70 million dollars worth of players sit on the DL. The Sox have a 175 million dollars in salaries and most of it on 11 guys several of whom are not playing.
The people booing Bobby and not the players are giving comfort to the players at a time when they should be looking in the mirror and evaluating their play. Not hiding behind fan anger because the manager called out a player(rightly or wrongly).
