    Tough match-up for Pomeranz. Verlander isn't what he used to be, but he still more than capable of spectacular starts. The Nation needs to focus on how Pomeranz pitches and not the overall game result. If he loses 2-1, 3-2, it may be a good sign that his last start was an outlier. Winning 7-5 leaves open the question.
  2. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, you were the only person in Red Sox nation to express that thought.

    The World Series does not equal the postseason. Nice try. It took 2 series for Salty to play his way out of the catching rotation. A person with the foresight you have should have made that statement prior to the Tampa series.
  4. illinoisredsox
    He would have hit 1-12 just like he did because the Royals pitching was very good. You really are warped.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Sure you didn't.
  6. illinoisredsox
    So let me get this straight. A guy who is in his 4th year now (therefore not eligible for free agency even if he had not signed a contract extension), who signed that lucrative 6 year extension DURING A PLAYOFF YEAR for his club, is content to play for a losing team because ...

    The cavata on the trade is reasonable; they may have decided to pick up the option but gotten a decent enough deal to forgo that. However, it stands to reason that if they release him, they have/had no intention of picking up the option. It shouldn't matter if that is an hour from now or on the day after the World Series ends. That part of the caveat is buffalo bagels.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Why the caveat? Since your so convinced that the option will be picked up, have the courage of your convictions.
  9. illinoisredsox
    And so what moves would you have made to do that, oh wise one?
  10. illinoisredsox
    Almost as bad as yours. However, if you somehow want to extrapolate one bad series of 4 games as proof that any player would shrink under the spotlight, go ahead. You still haven't said how you KNOW that Trout is content playing for a losing team.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Wow, 1 series. That's certainly a good barometer. I guess Ortiz would have rather been golfing instead of playing in the ALDS in 2003. Or instead of playing in the ALCS in 2013.
  12. illinoisredsox
    And you know this how?
  13. illinoisredsox
    Not to mention concern on how he would handle the media fishbowl of Boston.
  14. illinoisredsox
    Cmon, if for some reason the Angels suddenly offered Trout for one of the 3 B's, would you take it? I would send Betts or Bradley in a heartbeat. Bogaerts might require more consideration due to his position. It's not going to happen short of temporary insanity on the part of the Angel's GM, so all hypothetical, but still, you never say never.

    Wright would have been lucky a pitch didn't blow into the 3rd base seats.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Well he has tried everybody and everybody has sucked. Maybe he was supposed to try them in a different order? OF defense has not helped matters. That's cost them how many runs?
  17. illinoisredsox
    What is your point? This makes no sense.
  18. illinoisredsox
    Wanted to get that last one on prior to the first pitch Tazawa threw. I would use Ziegler here. Groundball specialist, get 2 and give up the 1 run.
  19. illinoisredsox
    Don't like the Tazawa move here. Junichi has been less tha spectacular when coming in with men on. Note - I am posting this as the move is being made, not after I see the results.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Exactly. OTOH, "Or with a better managed schedule, it may never have happened." MVP's words, so I think a reasonable request.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Well perhaps mvp could post what Koji's schedule/workload should be upon his return.
  22. illinoisredsox
    They had a veteran team that made plays when they had to.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Got to wonder if somthing is wrong with Brentz.
  24. illinoisredsox
    That's what I'm wondering. Brentz in left; Holt has done a decent job in right in previous years.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Then enlighten us on what you would have done differently (and of course, you can guarantee perfect results, right).
