Well, 24 out of 25 isn't too bad.
-
I used to hope that Jason Veritek would strike out with less than two outs with runners on base so he wouldn't hit into rally killing double play.
-
I will hate any Sox that sucks and don't deserve to be on the 25 man roster. Lin is better defensive infielder. I would also play Nunez in front of Holt when Dustin returns. I'd rate Holt behind Betts, Beni, JBJ, Martinez, Nunez and Swihart in the outfield. I'm sure Holt is a great guy. I would buy him beer all night. Being nice doesn't make you a good baseball player.
-
Yep It's time to just sit back and enjoy our team play. Each player has pluses and minuses. It's not as though we didn't know that JBJ was a 'streaky' hitter last winter. DD chose to keep him for his defensive prowess.
-
Can't trade Bradley. He just got hit.
-
Brock Holt getting well deserved rest.

4/13 Orioles at Fenway

only 49 pitches for E Rod in 3 innings....a record. -
I just don't see how we can get away from signing Kimbrel. He's the sure thing as we have in the pen.
-
I've always disliked Holt. I called him out during spring training.
-
Brock Holt is now 1-16. Best play he's made this season is getting Kelly suspended for 6 games.
-
Holt's a joke. Kelly sucks. He's our new Buchholtz.
-
Having 3 1/2 game lead going into Yankee series is a big plus. We can simply focus on winning each series. Going 1-2 vs the Yankees won't be so bad. But it's a big test. We have our 1-2 going in Sale and Price vs damn Yankees.
-
Moon, if Xander is out for extended period, our nightmare comes true. Our #3 SS will now fill in for Xander. We don't have a #2 on our roster.
-
My man Stanton went 0-7 with 5 K's 9 LOB, batting .167.
-
I'm with Moon on adding pitchers. Go big or go home. Instead of signing JD and Moreland, I'd been okay with trading for a front line starter.
-
I see that nothing has changed with E Rod. Another 20 pitch inning. If you can't go after the hitters, you don't belong in mlb. Don't get me wrong I think highly of his future but is he another Dice K?
-
Not at his price tag. It was an expensive insurance policy for not signing JD.
-
I think DD rolled the dice that Price, Pom and E Rod was not going to be out significant portion of the year and that we had enough depth in the minors. I guess better question is WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?
-
The concern was our starting five would miss significant amount of starts at the beginning of the season. That turned out not to be true. You maybe smarter, but I'm pretty sure I know what depth is........what's funnier is 'people like you' presumed to know more than others.
-
Lack of starting depth was overblown. E Rod is set to return tomorrow. He's missed one turn. Pom is also on his way to return maybe even early as next week. AGIAN YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL FOLKS. You have to manage the roster. There's a price to be paid for paying one player $31M or $22M. Worse yet we're paying someone not even on the roster $19M. DD has given this group a chance to win its 3rd straight division title. I doubt the players think DD has not done enough. Don't give him any credit, I really don't care. It's up to the players. THEY OWN IT, GOOD OR BAD. ALL THE CREDIT GOES TO THEM IF THEY WIN.
-
All very good points and well said. I'm optimistic because we won 93 games last year and we have almost everyone back. And we've added JD. He'll be as good as advertised. He makes hard contacts with lift. Maybe a bigger optimism stems from hoping to have Price start 30+ games after only starting 11 games last year. Porcello certainly can't be any worse, can he? He gave up 38 homers in addition to most base hits among all starters. Will E Rod finally stay healthy and get over his nagging knee problems? Our offense can't be any worse than last year, can it? Even without factoring in contribution from JD? We can't predict injuries but I'm very optimistic.
-
With a day off on Monday and Tuesday night starting time, do we rest players again tomorrow? I'm assuming Vazquez will start.
-
I'm hoping he gets his pitch count high so he can be pulled.
-
Me too. I also said the same about Moncada. What the f*** are we afraid of? If they struggle, move them down. Why baby these guys?
-
I don't want to trade him. But we can talk about 2018 off season, no?
