wow so you disagree with dd and jf and the entire organization that thinks travis can hit at major league level? What the f*** was sox thinking looking for a one year fill year. Give me a freaking break moon.
-
Looks like our starting rotation is settling. Sale, Price, Porcello, Pomeranz and E Rod. Johnson in the 'bullpen'. Injuries aside, this group has much more upside to get, especially Pomeranz and Pocello. Porcello really took off in July last year, and maybe Pomeranz has finally discovered his third pitch, cutter to go along with his fast ball and knuckle curve. And obviously getting nothing previously from Price, things can only get better. Now waiting patiently for the return of one Carson Smith. Because we ain't gettin' nothin' from Thornburg. Milwaukee says thank you Boston.

It's good to see Sam Travis getting off to a good start. He's definitely a major league hitter. It's more than likely that he will get sent down at some point but he's shown that he can handle major league pitching. Sox thinks he can be a full time 1B in time. Another quality player with 6 MORE years of team control. As an IU grad that watched him play couple times, I didn't think he would be up this quick.
-
This has been a frustrating season with all the injuries. Thornburg injury is still puzzling to me. We will need Carson Smith to get back to his 2015 season. I don't believe we have that set up guy for 8th inning. Kelly, Hembree and Barnes have all shown they can do it from time to time but not consistently.
-
Beni, 8 for his last 58.....ugh
-
Beni has replaced Pedroia as the double play king.
-
JBJ, Betts and Beni form a special defensive OF trio. If our pitching staff had any say in the matter, none of them would be traded. JBJ is also able to generate some power. He hits hard. Keep in mind that JBJ and Betts are under team control for additional 3 years, Beni for another 5. Yeah, lets move on from this thread.
-
Nice game by Johnson.....I doubt he's this good but he looked to be much better option as a #6. He threw 85 strikes out of 109 pitches.
-
Yeah lets trade JBJ!!!!
-
Will she get reimbursed for dry cleaning or new outfit?
-
He threw 85 Freakin' Strikes out of 109 pitches.
-
Johnson is really looking good. Good command of his pitches. You wonder how HE gets swing and misses but Kelly throwing 100 mph can't.
-
He did run through the stop sign. But watching the replay, WHY DOES THE 3B coach come down the line and wave his arm frantically signaling to run for the 3B runner. I've seen it before. It's confusing. 3b coach should simply focus on the runner on 2B. Not an excuse but ....................... There was an article recently about running and Pedroia was rated the worst on the Sox.
-
I'm with Moon on this. 1) I have no doubt he's a great guy. And baseball and health are two different issures. HE NEEDS TO QUIT PLAYING COMPLETELY UNTIL HE'S FULLY RECOVERED. I read that he's still going to take BP, infield, etc. Just not play competitively. I believe that's ********. He needs to get better. You can't f*** around with head injury. I don't think anyone wants Holt to be suffering. Just get him well. Jesus, he's still a young kid. His long term health is more important than anything else. The lights, the noise during games, none of that can be good for his recovery. 2) I just think he's a mediocre player. Just because he can play 1B doesn't mean I want him as Sox 1B. Sam Travis is better. Just because he can play OF doesn't mean I want him in OF. He's not the 2nd option, long term at any position. Geez I like the guy. We are strictly talking about baseball talent.
-
Not sure how he will get 'better'. Obviously if Pom can pitch the way he did the other day that will ease the pain of having to pitch Price. I wonder if will require a surgery with one slight injury.
-
We need for E Rod to step up this year. As I've mentioned before, this year corresponds to Lester's breakout year he had as a young Sox hurler. As with most young pitchers, it's all about control and locating his pitches for E Rod. Then we can wait patiently on Groome to arrive around 2020 Here's my post from April 7th...I'm limited to 5 articles per month or something on bostonglobe.....it sucks.
-
E Rod is having a break out year, comparable time period to that of one John Lester.
-
I endorse this 100%.....
-
Is this the Beni and the Betts gang you speak of?
-
JBJ is worth more to the Sox than to anyone else right now. We can't get in return what we are giving up. We have a very good outfield group. Why create a hole? I don't see Chris Young as a every day starter. Our defense is much better with the trio of Betts, JBJ and Beni. (And we have 3 more years of team control for JBJ) Maybe you address it at some point but not now. Our three biggest concerns are Pom/Price, return of Carson Smith/Thornburg, and Panda.
-
give Pom credit....he's not walking guys. Solo HR doesn't hurt as much. He had tendency to get ahead 0-2 then go to 3-2. Lot of pitches. He's being more efficient. Much better command tonight.
-
Price and Pomeranz are our bigger issues.....can we just give bunch of cash to the White Sox for Q?
-
I believe everyone has a sore thumb.....
-
Geez....you missed my point completely. I said IF our catchers were our worst hitters then we are in good shape. I'm not comparing our catchers to other catchers. Don't you have HIGHER expectation from both Bradley Jr and Panda?
-
Basically we need Bradley and Panda to start hitting. That will lengthen our lineup. WHEN AND IF OUR CATCHERS BECOME OUR WORST OFFENSIVE POSITION, WE'LL BE FINE. I think Panda has until the All Star break to prove if he can be a regular at 3B. We will move on after that....
