They can have "Bench Day" as in make it a new Fenway promotion alumni game. Bring out some of the guys who were most killed by sitting on the bench after 5-for-5 games....Dante Bichette. Jimy Williams would be the manager for the promotional game. They can bring back guys like Roger LaFrancois, who I think once spent an entire year on the roster and barely played if at all. You can bring back Bill Lee and Fergie Jenkins too, who can talk about how Zimmer banned them from the staff. Nomar would make an appearance too for sitting during the 04 Yankee series before being traded. Also the grand sons of Mel Parnell and Ellis Kinder and others on the 1949 staff for being ignored for the one-game playoff because McCarthy chose Denny Galehouse (Rocks!). Lastly, we can have a return of Jim Willoughby, who is still wondering why he was yanked for rookie Jim Burton in game 7, 75, even though pre-Milwaukee Brewer superstar, light-hitting Sox version Cecil Cooper was sent to pinch hit for him for no apparent reason (1-for-21) or whatever he was in that WS. Oh Bench Day!!!!! Go Sox!!! -
I've always been of the opinion that Vasquez is overrated as a defender. I'm with moon, go with Leon/Swihart.
-
Ricky is a late bloomer at the plate!!! His 42 plate appearances overall is too small a sample size (always hated that example..sample size)...
-
How bout Porcello's hitting? .429...Bradley can take some notes.
-
Swihart is athletic and wants to be out there...Leon is a great pitcher's catcher.
-
For doing his job, yes on Nunez...you better hustle down the line in MLB
-
It was a walk-off botched double play ball, they should have thrown gatorade on the official scorebook.
-
vegas, that's why he is mini-me MVP--Brian Johnson
-
Brian Johnson, team's mini MVP...bottom line, he keeps his team in games every start.
-
The Sox not hitting a home run....very disappointing...:-(
-
I still loved Jason Bay...just like I loved Nick Esasky...1-year wonders for Sox.
-
Swihart was held on to as the backup to the backup plan..and of course, he's worked out well enough in his spots. Every Sox contributes something it seems...offense, defense, with Holt-dugout fun, baserunning, etc.
-
Station on September 1, the Sox will bring up 917 relievers...there is no taxed pen.
-
max, it's like a never-ending highlight reel of fun...2018
-
Pen rested for what? For wins 91, 92,93? Up 7-0, no need to tax Price
-
And if he doesn't? You afraid of the Sox pen?
-
from when? last week?
-
Plutko? What is this some pitcher from the 1960s?
-
This could be the game that makes or breaks the Sox season...or not...or it's a Sox game in the 2018 season of utopia.
-
No 2 players has benefited more from Cora's approach than Bogie and Betts.
-
But today's Sox rooms and fans (who a lot are younger overall, I get that), it's again hard to complain about a team that is about to win 108 games.
-
I bitched in Sox rooms because there was less of a result that ended well. It was a lot of agony. Some great wins of course, and then the WS titles and then it got boring. It did.
-
Brian Johnson is the team's mini MVP.

slash, my problem is that I used to post in the old Globe room during games and it was legit!! Meaning, the managerial moves, the dumb lineups, the poor use of bad relievers, the failing on certain hitters who were trotted out into the same batting spots thus allowing them to fail and fail again (think Darren Lewis way back). And those games turned into?? LOSSES....And here we have this team that wins, and wins, and wins, and wins and wins. It doesn't matter what they do, they win. It's a great team. And again, I totally understand that it's meant to be allowed to bitch, vent, etc...it's good therapy for jung, I'm sure. I'm laughing at it because of the team's ridiculously good success compared to when we used to bitch about teams that were really a bitch-fest every game. It's a perspective thing. But no way am I trying to put a damp cloth on this particular part of the room.
