2-7 Trust me. LA is good. The FLOPS aren’t.
-
Exactly! But they won’t. They’ll pretend we have the team for a good October run. We don’t
-
From Toro? Gonzalez? Narvaez? So many to choose from
-
You had to know he and Toro couldn’t keep it up. Add Narvaez to the list too. Mayer should be playing every day along with Anthony. They are the future of the team, such as it is.
-
And Chapman. He’s getting long in the tooth and won’t be as good next year. I’d also like to see the cheapskate John Henry spend the money he is saving on the Devers deal during the offseason.
-
We really should see who we can get in return for Bregman and Chapman. Plan to try to make the playoffs in a few years
-
Bregman will heal during the offseason. Muscles have a good blood supply and usually heal pretty well.

2-7 against the good teams Take it to the bank
-
4-0 YAWWWWWWWWN Knew this wouldn’t be a competitive game
-
3-0 Yawwwwwn
-
Story Ks on a ball a foot outside the zone
-
5 catchers interference on Narvaez this year. Varitek needs to school him.
-
Better be sellers at the deadline. This team is toast.

2-0 Game over
-
1-0 Game almost over

I’m usually right

Not expecting a competitive game tonight

Its a matter of context. If the rest of the team is bashing the baseball or out pitching is outstanding. Right now neither is the case. Only then I am OK with an average CF offensively. As you know our offense has come back down to earth and with guys like Wong and Toro and others playing semi regularly we cannot afford a CF with an OPS in the .700 range. We have been struggling to score runs of late although for a while we were bashing.. I do not expect that to continue, not with the level of talent on the team. Since the ASB we are 29th in runs scored and 25th in OPS. And the Ks cannot contiue-we are striking out more than every team but two. Gotta make contact to win games. This is not ok if the goal is to play baseball in Oct.
-
This is in the category of “I’ll believe it when I see it”. I think he’ll be in the .700-.720 range because he has a basic flaw that’s very hard to overcome. And that kind of OPS simply isn’t good enough.
-
He’s actually at .782 this year. That would be fine with me, given his defensive abilities. His career .705 OPS isn’t ok. If he can maintain his 2015 numbers despite his K/BB and poor plate discipline all year I’ll be happy with his performance. But I expect his performance will migrate down to his career numbers as the season progresses and everyone gets tired.
-
We were going to lose as soon as we didn’t score in the top of the tenth. But it’s foolish to think that a rookie catcher has nothing to learn from a very good 14 year veteran. Thinks like blocking bad pitches and avoiding catcher interference….
-
Are you foolishly claiming that Narvaez couldn’t benefit from the advice from a catcher with 14 years of major league experience? Narvaez is a ROOKIE and he’s making rookie mistakes. Tek needs to take him aside and teach him the finer points of playing the position. He clearly needs it.
-
My guess is that at the end of the year his OPS will be in the .700 range. And he still won’t learn plate discipline. It will be his Armageddon and his career won’t be a long one because of this defect.
-
Obviously he could benefit with more lessons. Playing in the minors isn’t the same as in the ML. Tek was an excellent major league catcher. Narvaez may be one eventually but so far he hasn’t earned that label.
-
Tonight’s game? I agree. I didn’t expect it to be competitive.
