    I think they will win more games this year. Irving's style of basketball was a total mismatch to the Celtics style of play. Too often guys all stood around watching Kyrie dribble dribble dribble then shoot. That just doesn't work for most teams. The Rockets do it with Harden, but it got then nowhere either. I am tired of watching that and tired of watching guys like Drummond and the Greek Freak decimate the Celtics at the rim. They need a bona fide #5 or they are going to have a lot of problems.
  2. FredLynn
    The Celtics are going nowhere unless they get someone to provide interior defense. Kantor isn't that guy; neither is Williams. Maybe one of the dumpster signings will work out, but last year they consistently got beaten inside-and they had Horford and Baynes last year.

    In this game: Betts mishandles a ball in RF for an error. Bradley misses an easy catch in CF. ERod fails to cover 1B on a grounder to the right side. Their heads are obviously not in the game, as they haven't been for a lot of game this year. And Cora does nothing. He accepts it.
  4. FredLynn
    I would sit Bradley down right now and make an example of him.
  5. FredLynn
    Even a 6-1 lead against the worst offensive team in the game isn't safe. Pretty pathetic.
  6. FredLynn
    Sox sleepwalking again. Three runs will not win this game. Going to need at least six.
  7. FredLynn
    Devers is on quite the tear.
  8. FredLynn
    Another example of lack of focus. ERod dogs it covering first base.
  9. FredLynn
    It would be a plus for sure. But not enough for this team to turn it around. Thats not going to be enough. The mediocrity will continue until the current pitching staff does the job that they are capable of doing.
  10. FredLynn
    None of them is going to get Sale more wins. Or get Porcello's ERA under 5 (its 5.07 right now). Or get ERod's ERA down to something reasonable (4.79 right now). Or get Barnes to perform in clutch situations. Etc Etc. The talent is there to make it happen. Its up to the current players to do their jobs. Without that no reasonable injection of talent is going to fix this team. If I am JH, that is exactly what I am thinking.
  11. FredLynn
    I would be shocked if JH allows DD to get one of those guys, no matter the cost. None of them are going to fix the current pitching problems. None of them are going to fix the fact that Chris Sale has three wins so far. The talent is there to make a run at a playoff spot. If they don't start playing up to their ability no reasonable external help is going to matter.
  12. FredLynn
    Porcello could have started on normal rest, I believe, after throwing just 33 pitches in his last start. In the last 11 days Porcello has thrown 33 pitches. So why is Velasquez out there? Cora has lost it.
  13. FredLynn
    If we are going to have any chance to win this game Velasquez has to be removed. Its just the way it is.
  14. FredLynn
    Your team takes the lead in the first inning and YOU WALK TWO GUYS?? Is this really the best we have?
  15. FredLynn
    I agree with you, but I don't think we will get much in return from any club receiving one year of Mookie Betts. He will go wherever the money is, and I don't blame him. Not really optimistic that he will remain on this team.
  16. FredLynn
    Wonder what trading Cora would bring back in return?
  17. FredLynn
    Exactly. If I am John Henry watching this team night after night I am thinking why spend another dime on it? Its a lost cause when the guys out there aren't focused. The talent is there to win games, but the focus is not. Frankly, if I am JH I am planning for 2021 or thereabouts already.
  18. FredLynn
    Like Cora shouldn't have seen the Jays bringing in Hudson.....just stupid.
  19. FredLynn
    Brilliant move by Cora, bringing in the incompetent Nunez to replace the hot hitting Holt. Just stupid.
  20. FredLynn
    They should focus on next season IMO. Blow it up. We really should be sellers at the deadline.
  21. FredLynn
    Sale is truly pitching like a stiff this year. We needed him to dominate and he got hammered tonight. With pitching like this we are going nowhere.
  22. FredLynn
    He has velocity when he needs it. What he doesn't have is location.
  23. FredLynn
    Johnson is on the IL. I haven't heard what is wrong with him or when he is coming back. Making Eovaldi is a desperation move and to me it indicates that Henry isn't going to spend money to get a decent closer or BP arm. I get why that is: Henry is watching this team underperform just like the rest of us. I don't think he wants to fund a sinking ship.
  24. FredLynn
    News flash: the starters except for Price also suck.
  25. FredLynn
    I would put money on it sitting there. I can see quotes like "Its up to the guys on the field to do better"....they aren't spending any money for an impact pitcher.
