  1. I'm going to say yes, and here's why. He hit some huge HRs last year in the 119 win season. His bomb in the famous Sale rant in the dugout speech completely turned that game (and possibly the entire WS around). This year, if he doesn't come up with by my count 5 incredibly big hits, some HRs, the Sox aren't even a .500 team right now. Moreland's hits early this season were the difference between winning and losing. You want to look at $13 million spent, then subtract 11 million for paying Rusney Castillo to sit in the minors. So I"m going to buck the trend and say yeah even with the injuries, and overall lack of production, he was worth it. Well worth it.
  2. Sale looked like vintage every year but 2019 Sale last night. Electric stuff. Leon caught him and I do think he's the binky for Sale. Wakefield had his in Mirabelli. However, Vasquez has had a wonderful year offensively and I think is becoming a better catcher at calling pitches--or he sucks and that's the reason the staff sucks--or the staff sucks. Starting staff underwhelming all year as a whole, basically a weak link to the team.
  3. Too many guys have fallen apart-Cashner, Price, and even EROD has slipped a bit of late. Sale has been consistently poor. It's over but will always be a mind-scratcher that so many really good SPs all collectively failed for so long a period of time. It's almost inconceivable!
  4. I think Sale needs to hit his spots, and quit worrying about who is catching him. It's a cop out.
  5. This sad story of 2019 just gets sadder by the minute for Sox.
  6. The Red Sox are 17-5 the last 22 times a starting pitcher recorded 18 outs. That shows you just how pathetic the starting staff has been because they can't make it to the 6th and the record for the team is under .500 and then some when the SP can't make it to the 6th. Starting staff simply has been a disaster.
  7. Some guys come to Boston and simply can't handle the pressure--this year's victim--Cashner. Go back to Baltimore where clearly the losing atmosphere and no fans to worry about there helped him succeed.
  8. Also every crappy starter against the Sox can give up 10 or more hits and get out unscathed. Sox SP gives up 10 hits, 8 come in.
  9. Not watching, what was the deal on Lynn's shirt?
  10. Cashner was yet another pathetic addition to a s***** SP. What a joke, f***ing pathetic. Pitch a decent game for once.
  11. I'll say what I said before if the rotation has one good turn where all 5 of the SPs throw quality starts it could generate a streak going in right direction. We'll see, Porcello started a possible run? Go Sox!
  12. Question: Would you rather have Workman closing out games or Kimbrel at $17.25 million had he taken the Sox 1-year extension?? Just saying.
  13. A Realistic View at 2020: Preview: So who will be around in 2020?
  14. Purely you can seriously place blame on the complete breakdown of the Cy Young Trio--Price, Sale, and Porcello. They are crippling the team and sending it into a losing spiral of hell.
  15. Weber looked good against a Spring Training lineup. With that said, he did a lot better than Sale, Price, Porcello of late in any 3 to 4-inn stint performance. I like his sinker, I am fine with him getting a spot start. He earned one last night.
  16. Weber looks terrific, finally somebody steps up.
  17. He is a fantastic OF to watch, except at the plate. How he can occasionally have hot streaks and power streaks is head-scratching because he misses so many pitches, swings and misses as much as any player I've ever seen.
  18. Price is still on Paternity leave.
  19. Weber looked really good the first time I saw him pitch, then he got destroyed, and at least last few innings looked like that very first performance. I like him too, but you got to be consistent.
  20. For as bad as the Sox have been and depressing, that was about as funny a few pitch stretch I've seen this year. You got the poor guy destroying his own legs with Weber sinkers and then his own teammates are practically laughing their asses off. Then the fans standing O. Beautiful.
  21. well on the flip side he hit 420 foot HR, and ripped a single to CF while our fearless leaders Bogie, Betts, Devers had combined for a single to RF. So basically, ripping the AL Rookie leader in HR over his pitch selection is a f***ing joke analysis.
  22. Here's tonight's game thread...AROD gets another visit by the I-don't-get-enough-TV-time, me-me wife Jenny from the Block, the chick in the booth laughs, AROD laughs, they do a cutaway of the two goofing off together. This goes on for several awkward minutes until ESPN does a split screen of Boone hitting his 2003 HR and AROD fighting with Varitek. Trying to fill in the void of this being a non-game that virtually has any importance to anything, the crew talks about the Exit Velocity of Devers v. Judge....z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z...4 hours 20 minutes later, Sox win 7-6 in 11 innings although it was only 2-2 after a surprisingly quick 9. In the top of the 10th, Sox take a 4-2 lead, bullpen blows it. In the 11th Sox get a 3-run HR from Christian Vasquez, in the bottom the Sox try to give it back and with the bases loaded and 2 outs and a 3-2 count, every fan in here or no fans because everyone is asleep by this time, Mitch Moreland makes a spectacular diving catch to end the game.
