Kelly has been the disappointment for me. after game 1, he had a really really good stretch but has been dreadful for awhile now.
Pedroia not being able to answer the bell is a yuuuuuuge disappointment as well.

come on Moon. you know better than that. that was 100% chris sale. JF was just the idiot that went along with it and allowed him to do it. but those bullets sure would have been nice to have in October......
agree 100%. we all knew this when he was brought up and handed the job. we all knew that we would have to live with the peaks and valleys when he was handed the job again this season with no real contender to the position addressed in the offseason by FO. so why is DD now scrambling? why is Cora platooning? did they not know that a 21 YO was going to have "growing pains"? did they not know we were a playoff team??
Sad!
having a FB under 90MPH isn't random. it's suck.
batters have learned to sit CB and react to that slow ass FB. he is getting obliterated. perhaps it took 1.5 seasons for the "book" on him to have Great Success! but so it has. and he has zero answer. he has 2 pitches. he is a reliever that barely became a SP before we gave up solid gold for.....
First we gonna rock, then we gonna roll
Then we let it pop, go, let it go!
X gon give it to ya, he gonna give it to ya
X gon give it to ya, he gonna give it to ya
so many great moments this season.
it started Game 2 with a awesome pitching performance after the heartbreaking loss on opening day.
9-1 after 10 games.
17-2 after 19.
let me know when he makes adjustments. both with the bat and with the catching skills. he literally lost his starting job before the phantom DL and you think a backup catcher will fetch an ACE.
in the meantime, let me know some of these ACES you think you can get for Sanchez?
just name 1 (one).....
LOL. who is going to trade an ACE for Sanchez? your f***ing high.
the kid had 1 (as in one) decent season with the bat. you know, before the league had a book on him he did OK. what has he done this year? .186 / .283 / .411 f***ing AAA player numbers. and with his HORRIFIC defense to go with those paltry offense stats? ahhahahahahah. you expect an ACE in return? smoke another brother.....
i mean your just talking about offense here, right? it's all you ever talk about when it comes to JBj.
does he start "every season" horribly with the glove? or defense no matter? right. eff defense. we only want offense!
