I agree..... I want him back but I'm not going to lose sleep over him. He has a serious knee condition......he can't be counted.
-
Yep....he may surprise you, why not?
-
Yawn....who gives a f***. He's a damaged good. I'll get excited when he learns to stay on the field for 3 f***ing straight games.

Pedroia out with renewed left knee pain
Nick replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He's nothing more than a utility player at best. Time to look for permanent fix at 2B. -
Dead last in ERA for starters, 2 runs worse than #29 White Sox. When it comes to our starting pitching..... We're dominantly worst. We have the worst locked up. Not even close. It's Secretariat in reverse at the Belmont Stakes. They're the Washington Generals of starting rotation. Not one, but two fat ladies are singing.
-
Britton and Ottavino fail to protect 3-1 lead as Astros win from behind 4-3. We all have our problems. This is baseball.
-
Everyone here is silly... Cold weather affects hitters more than pitchers..... Think about it...
-
5 innings from our 'bullpen'....0 runs given up.
-
We should have a reliever start each game and go 2 innings. A starter can come in and pitch inninngs 3-8. Can't do much worse than we have been.
-
9 games played 1 quality start by Chris Sale 1 other start with 6 innings pitched by David Price Tell me again how Kimbrel would have helped in first 9 games?
-
Bottom line is offense spotted E Rod for 3 runs and he couldn't hold it. Our starters are getting hit HARD. Everything else is irrelevant. Let's look at the 5% problem in depth and ignore the elephant in the room.
-
We have outscored Tampa 24-22 playing one less game. But they've only given up 11 runs to our 42. Sale 2019-2024 Price 2019-2022 Eovaldi 2019-2022 E Rod 2019-2020 Porcello 2019 What the hell are we suppose to do? We think we have the best starting rotation. Be patient. No time to panic. We're only 1 game behind the Yankees.
-
I hope we have a plan B. We won without him last year. We can't baby the guy. If he can't play over 100 games then he needs to be a utility player. We need an every day 2B.

Per MassLive The Red Sox starting pitching staff has experienced a difficult start to the 2019 season. Chris Sale’s 6 strong innings Tuesday lowered the rotation’s ERA from 11.14 to 9.00. The opposition is batting .313 against the starters. But don’t blame Vazquez and Swihart. Don’t call for Leon’s return. Remember, Vazquez caught 10 of 14 postseason games last year when the pitching staff posted a 3.29 ERA. Before we get too stupid......I know it's coming.

Sox and Xander Bogaerts reportedly nearing contract extension
Nick replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yep -
And it's possible that player or two will emerge from the minors.
-
It's not a free agent signings. That's all......feel free to put me on 'ignore'.
-
The Bogaerts and Sale extensions are evidence, if Betts needs any, that the Sox are serious about keeping this winning core of players together. Per Fangraph... Cliff? Nah, no cliff here.
-
Xander is homegrown talent and we gave up some younger talent for Sale in a trade. They are both getting a raise. Not quite similar to DD signing say Price in an open market. You build teams in 3 different ways. 1) Homegrown talent....you should know, Yankees have done it in recent years. (Xander, Betts, JBJ, Dustin, Beni, Devers, etc) 2) Trade....basically two teams trading players a) surplus of talent at one position or switching out major league ready talent for talent further out in the minors. (Sale, E Rod, Porcello, Eovaldi, Pearce) 3) Free agents (Price, JD) I think DD has used all three modes to enhance the roster. Perception was Yankees used method 3) when the old man was running the team. I think I saw an article in Fangraph detailing the composition each roster.
-
Sale to defer undisclosed amount of salaries, reducing average annual value to $25.6M Per Cot's. Thus his delta is $10.6M which I this is very reasonable. Xander's delta appears to be $8M. To think both salaries are covered by Pablo's is pretty good deal for the Sox.

I did read an article where DD was quoted something to the effect we hope he doesn't opt out after this year, talking about JD. I think JD will give Sox a chance to sign him even if he does opt out.

You are on this board because?

Question for pitchers and pitching coaches. Typically, how often and how many pitches will starters throw between starts? Instead of bullpen session, can they just come into a game and throw 25-30 pitches between starts?
