  1. I think some people undervalue his pitch calling. Of course a catcher is not going to make any pitcher become a Cy Young candidate. The pitcher still has to make his pitches. Don't you think that having the comfort level with and the confidence in the catcher would help the pitcher make good pitches? Leon is knowledgable beyond just what the scouting report says. The pitchers trust him and are on the same page with him.
  2. Of course it makes sense to give Porcello a QO. If he accepts, we get him back on a one-year deal, which would be ideal. If he declines, we at least get something back, which is better than getting nothing back.
  3. No, some people just value his defense, whether the hot streak comes or not. That said, the hot streak will come.
  4. He finally 'barreled' a ball last night.
  5. Despite your apparent sarcasm, I happen to agree with this.
  6. As far as the game threads go, I can't deal with all the negativity. It's the last thing I need when my team is losing.
  7. The Red Sox will be in the playoffs. The thing is, it's not going to happen overnight. The team dug itself into a pretty good hole which will take a while to climb out of. Patience.
  8. This is kind of what happened to you last year, no? I am very superstitious when it comes to my Red Sox. It's amazing how what I do can have such a huge effect on the Red Sox.
  9. But the Sox really did mess up with Swihart's development. Maybe Swihart doesn't amount to anything anyway, but the Sox messed up.
  10. I was referring to Cora not using Barnes in the two games in the double header.
  11. Max Mojo = Red Sox Win Let's go!
  12. Why do we need Whit? We have Chavis.
  13. Possibly, but it would be a win-win for the Sox.
  14. Cora said today that he is not going to 'chase wins'. Barnes pitched in the 3 previous games, and Cora was not going to use him. He's sticking with his longer term season goals.
  15. Panic might be a bit of an extreme word, but I can't think of a better word to describe the way I see it.
  16. Some very sobering JBJ stats: Boston Sports Info‏ @bostonsportsinf 17m17 minutes ago JBJ ranks this season among the 870 Red Sox batters that had a minimum of 50 AB's thru the team's first 24 games in team history BA - .134 - 864th OBP - .203 - 860th SLG - .164 - 863rd OPS - .367 - 866th
  17. The guys being forced into high leverage roles who aren't suited for high leverage roles is the fault of the starters not doing their job. The pen is #3 out of 3 on the list of reasons why our record stinks.
  18. The pen is not the reason why we are where we are. If the Sox fail to make the playoffs, which I don't see happening, it will be because the starters and/or position players do not perform up to expectations, which has been the case so far.
  19. Just win. I have nothing else to say.
  20. LOL I find that rather interesting as well.
  21. IMO, part of the problem is that Cora has had to use the BP way to much, and not in the manner in which he'd like to use it. When the starters aren't doing their jobs, the relievers have a harder time doing theirs. This team has some problems. To date, the rotation and the offense have been bigger problems than the pen.
