    Nava looked bad, but that was on Breslow - any sort of decent throw gets him. Nava was handcuffed enough that even if he caught it not enough time to make the throw. Baserunning taketh away though.

    Breslow going a 2nd inning is ok here - although Koji is not a delicate flower here or a faberge egg. Funny what a radical thought putting Koji in was. And yes, Koji getting loose here is a good idea ... no need to dick around if we need a big out. Breslow can make this a lot simpler with Granderson tho.

    Don't want to lose this game without your best pen guy having a say in the outcome. Took some stones to snatch this game from defeat, would like to give it the best whirl here. (and to get a gratuitous Dave Roberts highlight on the MLB.TV feed, which is never a bad thing)

    Koji all the way - had the day's rest - did not have to burn him in the 8th. Meat of the order coming up.

    Berry should find a position on the postseason roster - at least take one of the injury replacement slots we have
  6. sk7326
    There we go!

    Nap just missed that ... at least game is still alive
  8. sk7326
    Taz left some hangers clearly ... some regression due from the bullpen last week or so I guess.
  9. sk7326
    hung a splitter ... oh well, time to try to win this a second time
  10. sk7326
    sigh ...

    Oh the numbers don't matter - who knows what he was working on, and whether he had budgets on the types of pitches they wanted him to throw. Not like he was game planning the hitters he was facing - or sitting with the scouting reports or whatever. I mean you can have that opinion - but I wouldn't base it on AAA rehab results or scouting the stat line.

    Weirdly wasn't leaning badly, wasn't a big lead - looked like he slipped a bit getting back. Weird for him to get picked off without actually getting caught leaning.

    Buchholz 3.2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 Ks ... for what its worth (not much) ... the strikeouts are a plus - see what the comments are afterwards. Health and progress only things that matter. 72 pitches, 51 strikes ... It's progress.

    The BABIP will fall - but the walk rate is very encouraging ... he's not going to be Youk, but he is not hopelessly flailing away either. Even if he falls back to your expected BABIP - this is a guy we can live with as a 3B.
  15. sk7326
    Overall, I think - the 1 9 8 4 are pretty solid locks. The standard still held for Fisk and Rice, but Rice is probably a step down in the timber of the numbers (Boggs for instance is a better player). The question is what standard do you want to hold for future Red Sox - if it's "better than Rice", Ortiz has a shot at that ... if it is "best of the best" or whatever, that might be a higher burden.

    Well, not retiring Clemens until the Hall figures out what to do with him is a defensible stance - after all the Giants have not retired Barry's numbers despite essentially similar cases. (crazy amount of plausible evidence, but nothing that can stick like Manny's positive test did)
  17. sk7326
    Definitely a little PR in there - although clearly a worthy HoF'er who spend half his career with Boston. At least as worthy a HoF'er as Rice.
  18. sk7326
    Well the premise is that he is ready to go for October - if he isn't, this is all moot. His pitching lines in the rehab starts are neither here nor there. Who knows what he was working on or what the plan was (pitches to throw, not throw).
  19. sk7326
    Will be fun to see how it goes - the linescores don't affect my perception (you never know what he was asked to work on) ... see if he is still throwing free and easy
  20. sk7326
    I don't know - just speculating about who'd be the best fit there ... too many starters is a good problem to have though definitely.
  21. sk7326
    The forcing his way out (minor factor) and the suspensions after (less minor factor) make that hard. The Sox have definitely used the HoF as a barometer for the guys they retire. Ortiz will by the end of his career at least be in a discussion (I'd say no, but I'd listen). Manny probably won't given the precedent - at least for a while.
  22. sk7326
    Oh that'd be silly. More along the lines that Buchholz is more likely to be a Top 4 starter than Doubront ... Doubront at this time more likely to be a Top 3 reliever on this staff for October. Either way nothing wrong with "too many starters"
  23. sk7326
    Buchholz coming off an injury might HAVE to start because he needs his work regulated. Put him in the bullpen in October you are committing to him being ready in a moment's notice and on back to back nights. I think Doubront is much better equipped for that workload.
  24. sk7326
    I think they can wait until he retires. And it's a no-brainer ... the hero of the team that broke the curse and a stalwart thereafter. He also doubles as maybe the greatest scrapheap pickup in baseball history. Next Sox player to get his number retired is probably Pedro Martinez one'd imagine.
  25. sk7326
    I did - for now. Until Buchholz shows he's ready to go - it is a fair assessment. That said, if Buchholz is healthy and there is no WC to worry about ... I would leave off Dempster and move Doubront into the swing position. While he has been good, he is the least reliable of their rotation guys, and his stuff could be absolutely nasty in 30-40 pitch bursts.
