  1. Threw him in there the way I would do for Matt Beleskey
  2. JBJR is the only guy on Earth who is too good defensively to leave off the field, and with Vasquez becoming a bonafide hitter with some power, JBJR's weak bat is acceptable. Leave him and that situation alone. The SP suck enough and would suck some more without him out there manning (not rick) CF.
  3. Rusney Castillo, Panda Sandoval, Carl Crawford, Pearce, Nathan Eavoldi...albatross salaries
  4. Game is far from over, but it's very hard to chase the score every game. It's just too much, and then you give up runs back.
  5. 16-game HR streak for Sox at Fenway--encouraging to see JD go deep to RF
  6. Porcello is just a joke, no other way to beat around the bush. He was a Cy Young and he had some electric moments last year in playoffs, but so did Sale, so did Pearce, Eavoldi. These guys are just I don't know...it's pretty evident they are toast
  7. The message of no incoming talent (other than Rock the Cashner) is the message that the Sox are settling for being out of postseason
  8. Jesus, he is awful, f***ing awful
  9. At least Rick has figured out his problems, and is confident that...he f***ing sucks
  10. Didn't take long on Porcello to cough up a run, as usual the biggest problem with Sox--SP
  11. The Sox could have gotten a reliever, but other than that what's the point. However, the Sox SPs could actually pitch like they care and it would result in more wins. Relievers not as big an issue as the SPs not delivering
  12. Drysdale also the King of Plunk
  13. Gibson would headhunt you though, i bet he would if a batter stepped in that box on a ceremonial first pitch.
  14. Absof***inglutely, agreed.
  15. Sale is the most professional, fundamentally sound, focused, greatest...underperformer in Sox history. Nah, just kidding, he did his job at times when it counted last year, but let's face it. He's not the SP we envisioned as automatic Pedro lights out, game over.
  16. The Beni play was one for the ages. One of the biggest defensive plays in MLB history, maybe not to the level of the Butler Did It For NFL, but easily one of the most clutch catches ever.
  17. Taking it a step farther, we all use what we used to call sample sizes and create streaks of good and bad by dates between what is an upswing and a downswing. Take that the Red Sox are 49-31 in their last 80 games. It means what exactly? They are playing better now, but they also were god awful for way too many games to open the season. Beni is great now, not so great 5 games ago. Overall, that's why Devers, Bogie, EROD and Workman have been pretty damn outstanding because they have the overall numbers to prove it.
  18. What's scary is how good the offense is overall in terms of all the HR, doubles, runs scored, etc compared to the dead-ball era teams of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some of those teams were just awful in comparison to the 1999 to present teams. Game has changed, hitters are either using designer drugs or the balls are juiced, or both.
  19. except the safety nets will prevent the balls from going into the stands
  20. The last real spike in baseball interest was a PED-enhanced, manufactured home run duel between 2 absolute disgraces to the game, cheaters that make anything accused of the Patriots chicken feed in comparison.
  21. Williams family has his frozen head near a tuna can, Rose is a gamble-holic, disgraced and never will get into HOF despite all-time hits leader, Sosa and McGwire were complete PED cheats, Bonds too.
  22. His actual batting coach last few years is now the Dodgers batting coach and he is not allowed to contact him. He has since gotten into some bad habits, but his pitch selection as far as chasing pitches is what is hurting him. He can't seem to read or adjust to pitches away, breaking balls away and down. Plate discipline. I actually think his swing is fine, he's still driving the ball, ripping line drives, hitting bombs occasionally, but he has simply lost the ability to go to the opposite field much. So we have a plate discipline thing and a not using right field like he used to, thing. He has to keep working on his videos and figure it out. Once he does that, his HR and average will sky-rocket I think.
  23. You can tell the wikipedia was edited by Sprowl's kid or some relative because we have rips on Jim Rice and Butch Hobson's defense in his "quality" start v. Baltimore*preceding the Boston Massacre, not to mention further rip takes on Bill Lee, Dick Drago, Zimmer, etc. Jesus, the guy went 0-3 in his MLB career, can we stop the adulation. Curly would have ripped the Wikipedia bio.
