I think he might have an occasional good game. Same with Sale. But its almost August now...turning it around isn't going to happen.
-
Not horrible. But bad enough. Four runs in five innings so far. Even four in six isn't good.
-
Yes. Command=location. The ability to throw all of your pitches to the desired location. I don't think MLB has forced change on the game as much as the game evolving on its own. The commissioner didn't force "openers" on any team; he didn't force the shift on anyone nor did he change the emphasis on HRs and the tolerance of Ks more widely. Thats due to the stat guys.
-
You don't have to throw hard to be successful...but it helps. Location is more important. By far.
-
Devers is da man!
-
Get this guy off the mound or we will soon be behind.
-
This game is far from over.
-
It was definitely the right thing to do. I really hate to agree with Alex Rodriguez, who was doing the game, but Cora screwed up. I take my chances with Bogaerts...or Betts...or Devers...with a guy on 3B with one out.
-
Porcello is horrible. We will need about 10 runs to win this one.
-
Nice to have one of these games for a change....
-
Then they have to face Bogaerts. It was definitely the right move.
-
Bases juiced. I can't think of another guy I would rather have up right now than Benintendi.
-
Yeah, he has. He should have come up in last night's game with Bradley on 3B with one out, but Cora allowed Hernandez to hit away rather than bunt JB to third. No doubt if Betts was up he would have driven in the winning run.
-
Porcello was robbed on that pitch.
-
Hector is useless. Totally. Useless. I don't understand keeping someone who cannot do the job even if he has options.
-
More accurately, why is he batting at all? I would rather have Holt in LF.
-
Why didn't Velasquez follow Nunez out the door instead of assigning him to Pawtucket?
-
The next guy who should be DFA'd is Velasquez.

7/14 Dodgers in Beantown
FredLynn replied to Station 13's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
I agree with you. Its not a very interesting game to watch. Most diehard Sox fans will still watch it and will probably watch the rest of the games this year too, despite the likelihood that this is not a playoff team. We are all getting that sinking feeling I am sure. -
Realistically is Chris Sale past his prime?
FredLynn replied to TylerD's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Unfortunately you are right. We will get to witness the ongoing mediocrity that is the 2019 Boston Red Sox. As for Sale, well, its almost August. He is highly unlikely to turn it around this year. Sure glad we didn't sign him to a long term deal.....oh wait......................... -
Need a base hit right now. We can handle a one run game.
-
Gotta get one more here...at least.
-
JD is due...overdue.
-
This could be the death knell to their playoff hopes

The Starting Rotation Performance Thread
FredLynn replied to YastrzemskI's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
There is no cogent reason to expect that either Sale or Porcello will turn it around this year. And without them....no playoffs. Oakland wins tonight; the Rangers are ahead. So one game further behind the A's and the Rangers have caught us. That makes four WC teams ahead of us. Tough assignment. Even tougher when our ace sucks.
