This is a very easy team to hate. Very few guys are really giving it their all this year. I refuse to believe that Betts, Martinez, Benintendi, Sale, Porcello, Barnes, ERod etc etc-including Cora-are not just resting on their laurels from last year. Its an embarrassment. They deserved to be boo'd for the rest of the year.

I wouldn't expect any high profile RP to show up. And I can't really blame DD for the crappy performances of Betts, JD, and Sale. I think he is handcuffed by financial constraints by JH. Unless the current guys miraculously get it together I can't see us as a playoff team. The current roster, for the most part, is it.
-
Whoever said he is a relief ace?
-
Yup. Only the Mets have more blown saves in all of MLB with 18. Had we just held on to half of them we would be in contention for first place instead of trailing the WC race to two three teams. If we do not get a reliable closer we will not be playing baseball in October. Take that to the bank.

6/26 White Sox @ Boston Red Sox
FredLynn replied to a700hitter's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Barnes is no closer. Neither is Brasier. Nor Workman. We don't have a closer. And if we don't get someone who can reliably close out games in the ninth inning we will not make the playoffs. Pretty simple. -
For all the grief the pen has taken here they are actually FOURTH in ERA in the league. Our SP are SEVENTH in ERA. And offensively we are fifth in runs scored but fourth in OPS. Bottom line: with those kind of numbers we should have won many more games. And the talent is there to do much better. Right now we are on a pace to win just 88 games. Thats not going to get us into the playoffs. DD is going to have to make some moves.
-
We are behind both of them.
-
Yup Sure looked like a knee to me.
-
Here we go again with the walks. Thats how we lost ugly to Toronto.
-
Can our pen actually throw strikes? NO WALKS!!
-
I would send Hernandez here
-
Barnes is warming up...Price is done.
-
Hate to say it, but it looked like the way Klay Thompson landed in the NBA playoffs when he tore his ACL.
-
Right knee injury....didn't look good.
-
Bogaerts owed Price that one.
-
If we win tonight we will be on a pace to win just 88 games, an unbelievable 20 GAMES fewer than last year and likely not enough to make the playoffs. Sleepwalking isn't going to get it done. Mistakes like those made by Bogaerts tonight and the ones Vasquez makes behind the plate are not going to get it done.
-
This is exactly the situation that the Sox have failed in this year
-
This team plays up to every opponent because they are lower on the ladder than almost every team. These guys are still sleepwalking. Just hard to watch them.
-
That trade was a no brainer.
-
Mid Season, Fenway, Toronto? Playoffs? PLAYOFFS?
FredLynn replied to bosoxmal's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Actually.....the Sox are not one of the best teams in the AL. They are exactly as good as their record says they are. I think they are one of the most talented teams in the AL, but so far they have clearly not played up to their potential. -
I agree. I have watched some very bad plays by Vas..passed balls mostly. Bad throws to 2B trying to get guys trying to steal. Offensively he has done well, but his defense is really questionable. I would send him down along with Benintendi to try to wake these guys up out of their torpor. Because the way it is right now....they are not making the playoffs. Cora needs to make a statement to the team, like he did by removing Brewer with the count 3-2.
-
Vasquez's act is getting old....very very old. I would send him down and bring up some stiff from AA ball. Phantom injury maybe. I would also send down Benintendi. I don't care who comes up.
-
I think he is pissed that Brewer went from 0-2 to 3-2 and allowed a SB. Its about time he publicly embarrassed some of these guys.
-
Cora is pissed about something out there. Its about time he started punishing the guys who are sleepwalking out there.
-
They really need to blow up this team. We should be sellers at the deadline...try to get some decent prospects and look for another run in 3-4 years.
