Pedroia is not a leadoff hitter...Leadoff hitters usually steal bases...Quit trying to reinvent the wheel....Betts is a proven leadoff hitter with his hitting and stolen bases
-
Goes to show what kind of team this is....How did Owens just intentionally walk a guy that he 1st struck out? On top of that giving the Tigers bases loaded.....Then HanRam just watches a ground ball go past him
-
Youre right, the Yankees probably won't catch Boston in the standings but they just beat them twice in a 3 game series.....When is Boston going to start winning the games that they should win?
-
Um....I've been thinking about this for a while...Kimbrel has been shaky for a while now.....and Kimbrel's job has been primarily to get 3 outs....Barnes is coming in for 2 innings at times.....It's not fun watching your closer make 30 pitches to try and get 3 outs
-
In the last Yankees series, he setup Barnes in the only win they had in that series.....
-
Did I do something wrong?
-
Is 1.286 a large difference from 1.103?
-
I think BB/9 is very important for a closer....When a closer comes in and youre up 1 run or whatever(with bases loaded), you need him to throw strikes
-
I'm talking about bringing him in as a closer...not in the 6th or 7th inning...Kimbrel set him up for the save in the first of 3, in the last Yankees series...and Barnes also came in to strikeout 3 in the 9th in the last Yankees game
-
Like I said, I like to stick with what works,...and I don;t think Barnes has given me a reason not to give him a chance as closer...I understand, he can probably go 2 innings as well but I would have like to see the team bring in Buccholz or Kelly in a situation where our starting pitcher leaves after 5
-
Overall, I think he has been very shaky this year....So, what he did in the past is kind of irrelevant to me now....I'm expecting him to blow every game he comes into lately based on this years performances...Some of his saves ,this year, I think have been oh s***,holding on for dear life as well.....
-
I prefer sticking with whats working and i thought Barnes proved himself against the Yanks
-
I'm sorry but I can't stand watching Hanley play 1st base....I think its a horrible move....Especially considering the fact that we have someone that could play 1st(Shaw).....Id rather put Ortiz at 1st than Hanley lol.....then you can DH Ramirez if you want him to bat....We also have Hill/Holt to play 3rd
-
In another forum, someone was posing the question as to whether we have a lights out closer....I don't think Kimbrel is lights out ....I think Barnes has that possibility....Especially if he only had to come in for 3 outs
-
Barnes did fine in his role yesterday...i mean i didnt want them to take him out when they did...lol
-
Perhaps Kimbrel could be Barnes setup man
-
What does everyone think about Barnes? I think he should be the team's closer....I think he holds his composure more than Kimbrel(maybe because he's been with the organization longer,AL) has in that role....Lots of shaky outings....Anyways, I thought Barnes proved himself when he closed the game against the Yanks but then Farrell went back to Kimbrel once again in the next save opportunity...Also, I think Barnes throws harder than Kimbrel and I don't think he compromises his control....
-
Then we can start focusing on baserunning, fielding....
-
Leon should be starting catcher every game and Hanley should be put back in LF...benentendi can split time with him......Shaw to 1B and Hill/Holt at 3B
-
I think Barnes would be more comfortable taking on the closing role as he has been with the organization longer than Kimbrel has......Barnes showed he can get the job done against the Yanks.....Kimbrel can be his setup.........Buccholz/Kelly should be used more when a starting pitcher is unable to go long
-
Yeah I don't see why they don't leave Betts,Pedroia,Bogaerts........Theres so many other changes I would make if I were their manager....This would be a start
-
I would go to Barnes more...I think he looks more consistent than Kimbrel....I would have made him my closer after he got the job done against the Yanks

Why did the team move HanRam from the outfield in the first place? -

And an amateur play in LF to follow....Maybe HanRam would have had the catch in LF if he was playing his position
