Oh I know. I was just kidding anyway. This has been a particularly frustrating beginning to a year for me. Unlike some, I never had great confidence in our ability to produce runs. I felt that with outstanding pitching and very good defense that we would be ok - win the east ok. Obviously we aren't scoring runs. I think not having anyone that any opposing pitcher really fears can change the complexion of any game other than Ramirez on a regular basis (sorry Mookie) has hurt this club greatly. Our defense has been unbelievably bad and the mental mistakes that we make almost on a nightly basis really are unacceptable. My position is that I hope things get better but i am pretty sure that what we have seen to date really is the team we have. We need a healthy Price for sure. Going forward if we don't come up with an explosive power bat to help us out, it is apt to be a long run for all of our young potential superstars.( a little sarcasm there)

Jesus Christ (sorry) you are s***ing me really. All that stat stuff - I can't follow it . thanks though. i will tell you that those early 60's teams were really something. Actually though they did have some guys who could pitch - Momboquette , Wilson(who could also hit the s*** out of the ball), Moorehead. Wilson and Moorehead both threw no hitters.

Doesn't matter - maybe even a real athlete

I sure and hell hope that no one is surprised that another New England team is demonized. We cheat - we are racists - the beat goes on.

there must be some medication you can take for this

i don't think that just getting on base is enough for this team in general these days. If it were not for Hanley, there would a power shortage the likes of which I have not seen in my 60+ years of following this team.

I am just absolutely appalled at this team's inability to mentally do the things that kids are taught before they are 15. i'm not going to blame all of the baserunning gaffs and the apparent misunderstanding of the rules of the game on the coaching staff either. If they are professionals, they have been taught what they need to do. Fielding errors, continued baselining mistakes combined with the lack of hitting is sickening. I say over rated!

probably somewhat of an unpopular opinion but Wright's overall fitness level looks pathetic for a professional athlete. it might not relate directly to a pitcher's arm strength and his ability to do his job all things being equal but when you are talking things like knees, hips, backs and such it doesn't look to me as though wright has done much to help himself. Using him as a pinch runner under any circumstances was ridiculous but that aside it doesn't look to me as though he has done much to help himself either.

who is
-
Devers 5 for 5 with a couple of clouts last night? Guess I need to make a trip down to see him.

i'm trying so hard to work through my frustration issues with this team. On the one hand the thought is that these are the best professional baseball players in the world and then there are obvious things that make some of us cringe. When Sale pitches, i would not take that attitude that the offense is going to someday come around. He and Porcello I think deserve more. Now I get the fact that not everybody believes that bunting to move runners along makes any sense. When these two guys are on the mound with most of our current lineup, i would at least consider it but from my perspective I'm not sure that they could actually execute the right bunt. With a one run lead, and Sale dealing, Leon on the base paths later in the game, am I really the only one here that might have pinched run for him. He isn't the slowest player we have - looks to me like maybe Moreland wins that award, but really get a run for these guys any way that you can. I'm very happy that we won the game, but really!
-
yes!!! i think that it could have been called an infield fly but not should have. It was a tweeter. Ultimately it was one of the poorest examples of baserunning I have ever seen.
-
The draft pick alone no, i don't think so but if they were able to sign Heyward they would be very very close. their future would look outstanding. iIf they thought that they could convince Heyward to come to Boston, I would never trade that pick.

Let me see - He is not a third baseman

Matt Barnes suspended for four games and fined

How about the next time you do anything you give it 110%. -
i still like Hernandez but I can't really defend him much for the gaffs he made last night. But, as it has already been said many many times, he is not a third baseman. Playing him there has set him up for failure. That is on the coaching staff.
-
but Porcello looks so good
-
if Hayward reunites with Stevens and we get the right draft pick, this team will take off in the future for real. Celtic Pride - 176

I am one of those big bat guys I know. I still also think Pablo gets a chance. I am also very anxious to see if and when Price comes back and what he has to give when he does comes back. If our pitching staff is ever completely healthy, we may very well not need the big bat. I would still want one in there though just because ...
-
You might be right but he will not get a pass for many of the things that he does or does not do from me. Once again, I still do like him.
-
I still love Eck - Barnes is still a kid. Wrong guy to do the job. Eck gets it.

i agree with you. JF is tough for sure as an individual. There is absolutely no question about that ! none! Now as a coach does he prepare them adequately for all of the stuff that they might face? i don't know about that one. He would kick the crap out of Showalter if it was just the two of them. Sadly it is not. We really did look kind of foolish coming out of Baltimore. i do think that that is on Coach Farrell. -
Kudos to Farrell but I don't think that means he uses him the right way. He uses him the established way. Not bad necessarily, but sometimes it is ok to get maybe just a little creative. My guess is that unless he reads it or hears it someplace else, ain't happening with John. For the record (please) I still like JF.

The expression wasn't used at all when Dick Radatz on Johnny Wyatt were doing their thing. But, alas, if they had to get more than 3 outs, they just did.
-
i think that you are right here. i would really miss this kid. I think the day will come that he starts for someone at second base. Right now I think that he provides a better option for us in the infield then either Holt or Rutledge but as far as a trade is concerned - In the right package he could provide very good value.
