Brock Holt getting well deserved rest.

4/13 Orioles at Fenway
Nick replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
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?
-
Excellent point. It's the delta. If we trade him, it's not like we have to play with only two outfielders. Assuming it's true that we don't lose much by moving Beni over, than the real question is how good of left fielder fills in for 'Beni'. Left field defense should be easier to replace. Impact is negated further with an offensive left fielder.
-
If someone is dumb enough pony up more $$$$, they would be responsible for additional money and the higher AAV. Realistically, Pedey ain't going nowhere. He's an institution despite throwing his teammates under the bus just to ingratiate himself to an opposing player.
-
Wow....good answer. You have a very good point, as always.
-
No one wants Pedey.
-
What if you had to decide between Pom vs JBJ? What if Johnson can replace Pom? I think it has to be priorities. What if we can keep both but we have to give up Kimbrel because Hanley vested? Or do we keep EVERYONE including the FA knowing our payroll might hit $260M? Who goes if you are in charge of this team? Decision has to be made on Kimbrel, Pom and Kelly? The topic of keeping/trading JBJ comes up because Betts is a keeper and Beni is under team control for 5 more years. Simply saying keep JBJ seems like an inadequate response. It's got to be about the entire team. Not picking on you. I just wonder what you are thinking? ("I want to enjoy this team play would be my guess".) ("I didn't want us to sign JD......."....I guess you did answer it )...I'm talking to myself now.
