I don't like our 3B situation any more than anyone else does, but at the same time we ARE in 1st place. I realize that everyone is probably tired of hearing me rave about the importance of defense, but the defense we're getting from Marrero and Lin is keeping us in games. In addition they're now starting to get a few hits so I'm happier with 3B now than I was when Sandoval was manning that spot. The really good news is that they only come up every 9th AB in the order. They aren't the long term answer but they're an answer for the immediate future and as long as we're successfully fighting for 1st place I wouldn't be making any panic moves. Speaking of defense, did anyone notice that JBJ made a couple of outstanding plays last night that he made look routine?
-
Mookie does seem to do it all. I like having him lead off because he can set the tone for the entire game with a big hit. And, as Bell said, he gets more AB's than anyone on the team when batting 1st. One of the things that could help this team a lot would be if our 7-8-9 guys can get on base for him. They did a nice job last night and look what happened!

We're rapidly approaching the point where the FO is going to have to decide if they're really ALL IN on 2017. This is where DD and JH earn their pay. IMO an equal case can be made for trading away one or more or Devers, Groome, or Travis... or not. Were it me making that decision I wouldn't do it because simply making the playoffs doesn't guarantee a WS win. As we've said from time to time, once you make the playoffs anything can happen, and I wouldn't want this team to be the victim of "anything" again like we were last year and have completely gutted the farm in the process. But that's just me.

Thanks. It appears that Price may be becoming overly sensitive to the criticism from the fans and the media. While I believe the "solution" to Price's problem is probably to just STFU and pitch, at the same time I feel his frustration. However, he needs to act like an adult and realize that pitching in Boston isn't like pitching in 'cowbell city". Sox fans actually care about their team and criticism for poor performance is a part of the deal in Boston. BTW, I have a sense that Dennis Eckersley is one of those people whom it's not a good idea to get into a verbal battle with. What's that about bringing a knife to a gunfight?
-
What? Do you have some sort of a link to this? It's the first I've heard of it.
-
I was a bit apprehensive about this because in the past every time they moved JBJ up in the order he went into a slump. Then when they moved him back down he started to hit again. Let's hope he's over that! And at the risk of peeing on this party, let's also not forget that he tends to vacillate between what he is at this moment and hitting ~.200 for a spell. Let's hope he's over that too!
-
Well, they staggered through that one! But it goes down in the book with a W. Now two day games in a row.
-
How'd you like to be Mailie?...hitting ~.100 and you have to face Kimbrel in the 11th. LOL
-
..and Pedey does what he's done best lately. Ugh
-
If he can keep hitting like this we may not need to pay for another 3B.
-
Yep. One of the guys I had no confidence in. Baseball is a funny game.
-
Now Kimbrel for the save and it's over.
-
There! Bogaerts > Lin!
-
The last guy in their OF that you want to run on is Bautista and they keep hitting their fly balls to RF. :-(
-
Thanks Hanley. now don't do anything stupid on the bases.
-
These are the games when we really miss having an Ortiz-like player in the order
-
C'mon Hanley. Get on base and give JBJ a chance to drive you in. I've got NO faith in the rest of the order.
-
And where did Boyer come from? He's done a good job for us. And as a sidebar here.., something I've said before.... OMG I'm sick of that Southwest commercial.
-
I'm not one to hang a loss on any one player, but OMG Moreland has had a lot of chances to drive in runs. And botched all of them.
-
Question answered. Bogaerts no longer has the day off.
-
Agree. With the shape of our minors now we can't afford to give up any more talent for a rental
-
s***
-
C'mon. now Beni... BIG fly ball.....
-
That's what I was wondering. Is Bogearts dressed?
-
If Lin is out what happens defensively in the bottom of the inning?
