  1. Make it vodka and you've got a deal.
  2. I've never had a problem with Notin -- or S5 -- for as long as I can remember. Two good posters...don't know where the tension arises from. Sad!
  3. How about Red Sox fake passports?
  4. Jackie's OPS is up to .765 after last night. Since he spent several games on the bench early last month, it's .991 with 6 home runs. Trade the bum!
  5. I'm pretty sure Barnes got four, dropped his appeal, and served all four.
  6. Surely you don't actually believe this trade (or any other) should be evaluated in this manner. Hey, Bartolo Colon has won a couple of games this season, too...maybe he's worth Jason Groome?
  7. Particularly given Barnes' 4-game punishment for not hitting Machado.
  8. Spot on, I think. I'm trying to keep my opinion of the trade separate from my judgment on Pomeranz himself. Need to see a lot more consistency from him, but the last 2 starts have been very encouraging.
  9. After 2015-16, I'm not sure why people continue to apply the "good defense/little offense" tag to Bradley. His capabilities with the bat should be well-established by this point...you know you'll deal with some slumps along the way, but this is hardly someone who's continually a black hole in the lineup. And while .211/.298/.394 might not sound exciting, it was .171/.234/.286 just a couple of weeks ago. Anyone who's following along should be able to tell that he's trending upwards offensively, which makes the criticism all the more baffling.
  10. f*** yes...Johnson and JBJ for the win!
  11. Quite true. I think we're all holding our breath...
  12. Of course it took until 2 days before Price is back for one of our 5th starters to step up.
  13. You used to be able to cheat the paywall by simply opening the story in private/incognito mode, but it appears they've wised up to that. Curse them for foiling my mooching!
  14. Seattle's expected pitchers in this series come in with season ERAs of 5.84, 8.10, and 6.30...hopefully this will be a nice three games for the bats.
  15. MLB.com's top 30 international prospects: http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2017?list=int Boston is expected to sign Daniel Flores (#2), Danny Diaz (#13), and Antoni Flores (#20).
  16. Haven't seen a post/thread about this, but the July 2nd signing period is coming up, and with the Red Sox out of their penalty period, it's nice to see us linked to some legitimate international prospects once again (with a chance to go even bigger if we can trade for more pool money)... http://www.csnne.com/boston-red-sox/red-sox-came-out-firing-after-international-signings-punishment
  17. I don't know much about this kid, but all I hear is intriguing. Interested to see what he does in Greenville.
  18. Fun with JBJ small sample sizes: 4/3-4/8 (beginning of season until going on DL) -- .286/.353/.429/.782 (17 PA) 4/21-5/5 (return from DL to being benched for several games) -- .140/.213/.209/.422 (47 PA) 5/9-5/24 (return from bench to present) -- .233/.313/.488/.801 (48 PA)
  19. I wonder if we could use Moreland in a trade for a third base solution or some pitching later in the summer...I'm sure he does not have a ton of value, but his contract is hardly burdensome and he's been producing.
  20. To borrow a phrase from the Sale trade thread, "in a vacuum" I still think this has a chance to be a solid trade...the real problem with it was depleting our 3B depth and putting all the pressure on Sandoval to perform. Whether the injury to Thornburg is something that should have been anticipated beforehand is an open question, I think, but if he can come back healthy and pitch like he did last year, it should quiet a lot of the complaints.
  21. I haven't seen anything about Kendrick getting another start...where did you hear that? I'd rather give Brian Johnson another chance if we need another starter before Price is ready.
  22. I don't think we have the chips to land someone like Quintana any more.
  23. That's the one. It feels s***** to pick on Clement since he was a solid pitcher before getting smacked in the head, but I suspect there are few season lines in Sox history worse than his 2006 season (6.61 ERA, 1.76 WHIP in 65.1 IP).
  24. He's sinking like a stone...trade him while he still has some value!
  25. Gagne's reputation/expectations juxtaposed with how terribly he actually pitched has to put him on the list, for sure.
