  1. Whoops. I thought the tarp was coming off. Instead, Barnes contines tothrow balls/
  2. Don't wins and losses count any more/ Sale has one win in last 17 starts, But, he'd sure a helluva lot better than Barnes at this point. The perfect closer keeps on losing.. Ah, rain cometh saving Barnes from further embarrassment.
  3. Be nice if we could look forwatd to watching Sale close this up!!! It could be, if someone wakes up.
  4. I hope you're right. A little more consistency from all the players would help. I can understand the young guys. Devers can't wait to swing that bat as hard as possible, and the other kid has a very hard time recognizing a curve ball from a fast ball. He'll learn/ In the end. Mookie has to lead the way. I am tired of seeing 1st pitch curve balls ending up in the middle of the plate while Mookie is pullomg away. He should be looking for that pitch every time he ccomes to bat. WAIT, then hammer it, Mookoe!
  5. It is so ordained, according to my 1914 Ouiji Board. A ipad message has been sent to 5 selected players that repeats, "Wait, dummy, then Quick, *******." Again and again all day Mike has been directed to lay off the high hard ones, and stay off the ones in the dirt. Mook has been told to be more aggressive, and that 0-2 counts are not acceptable. Chris has been told he's the league's besty Closer. Even tonight. Stay Loose. (But not too loose) Devers has been advised to "COOL IT". Aim for the scoreboard. That way you won't be fishing through the firt. Vasqyes has been told he's our catcher. At least 5 out of 6 games. Get teady. Aim for the bullpen. Benny has been told his jon is "get on". Then GO! The sign os on the Men's Room Wall: WAIT WAIT WAIT---QUICK QUICK QUICK.
  6. During last night's gamr (vs Yankees, Saturday) one announcer asked the other, :what do you think the Red Sox most urgent need is." After a pause, the other said, "a lock-down closer". Now, that's as close as I can come to verbatim. I thought (as I have ventruerd hee in this forum for some time0. "They already have one and he's 1-7 as a starter." Sale has not neec the lock down starter he was until September of last year,. Time to admit it. And WHAT A CLOSER HE MIGHT BECOME!.
  7. Numbers don't lie. Sale is a strikout whiz, but is 1-7. He was the same way rowards the end of last year. But oh what a closer he might be!!!!
  8. Chris Sale would (make that should) be the best closer in baseball. He's been all done as a starter since last year. SOMEONE must have realized this/
  9. It's time to recognize the obvious. We have the perfect closer on the roster. And it goes back to late 2018. . Chris Sale. He is not what he once was! But, Oh what a 9th inning sure thing!
  10. I am not the least bit concerned about the last playoff berth. The season 1 1/3 over. In spite of a losy bottom 3, we still can get enough runs to compete with anyone.
  11. The Gods have spoken. One more day to reflect (and for Sale's left arm!). It couldn't have come at a better time!!!
  12. In my time, there was only one Lefty Grove and one Dizzy Dean. Williams blamed ot on the s;ider/ We ;ook at the CG stat and it's almost unbe;ievable!
  13. A small correction, please. The bottom 4 hitters in tonights lineup are hitting .187, .202. .185 and .174. I guess that they should go about 3 for 16 (?)
  14. If we start thinking, "well we can still make the playoffs", then it it will be over. The 1914 Braves were in last place on the 4th of July. Even 'tho the youngsters, especially, were swining at anytjing in frustration, the fact is there is nothing wrong with the offense. Re-make the bullpen. Get rid of this nonsese of the closer coming in during the 6th or 7th inning just because of who the other guys have cominmg up. Cloers have been closer since the days of Ty Cobb. Keep it that way. Plus we need about 3 GOODD LH relievers. They can be be bought==especially for some our .189 jubk.
  15. Gee, you mean the earth was really flat? I didn't know that!
  16. Nonsense. You sound like Donald Trump!
  17. Good lineup. Let's keep it. LH, RH doesn't make much fifference any more. Too many pitching changes.
  18. When a hitter is this good, you DO NOT shift him around becasue of the opposing pitcher, or you've nade a lineup change elsewaher! Put this guy in the 2 hole and LEAVE HIM THE f*** THERE1
  19. AH_HA! I just glanced at today's lineup. Two minds with etc etc etc
  20. The first inning is the most important inning of the ball game. You get 1 or 2 on and here comes your best hitter. Like Teddy, or Yaz, And, yes, like Devers.
  21. Why did they hit Williams, Yaz (and, I'm sure) OrtizGejrig, and on and on, in the 3 spot. It's the power slot and always has been.
  22. Time to put this guy in the 3 HOLE and work around him. RH, JH, no matter, It sure looks like we have another 3holer. Think Yaz and Teddy. Lefty hitting for average and with power, No 3 is where he belongs, no question about it!
  23. I hope the next time I see Dustin an a uniform he'e'll be managing the Marlins. enjoying the weather instead of freezing his beaten body every day. If there is a good reason for him to trot out to 2nd base again, I haven't heard about it.
  24. Last night, back & forth Sox on MLB.com, Rays-Dodgers on FS1. Article that I couldn't read beyond the headline came to mind. What is Bellinger's secret? Simple, and Vasquez has picked it up: QUIET. or, "wait wait wait/quick quick quick". Beliinger doesn't move an inch until the ball is on its way. Watchhim when you get a chance, Vasquez is doing much the same thing.
