Score is 15-4.....Clay is nibbling on the corners, trotting out every pitch he has in the arsenal, deep in thought, 150% focus. He walks two straight batters....pitching as though it was the game 7 of the world series.....what is wrong with him? You're up 11 runs. Twins are beaten down. Just let them hit it. Oooops....a double play grounder. Wow. I would hate to play behind him. Ugh

looks like we have both sides of plate covered when 8th batter steps up..
-
I like the way Wright mixes in curve and fast balls (always located at the knees).....he's been impressive. Also last night with runner on third and one out....I felt he had as a good chance of striking out the batter as any flame thrower....sure enough he struck out the batter.... I've never been a big fan of knuckle ball pitchers but Wright is growing on me...lol

Moon We spent great deal of time discussing our OF lineup.....I think Bradley in CF and Betts in RF is working out just fine....just as you predicted...
-
Moon.... I have this uneasy feeling about our bullpen....what do you see as our move at the trade deadline? Everyone with Sox is preaching patience but I think DD will "go for it" thinking we lose Ortiz next year. Smith injury really hurt us. I'm not sure if we have reinforcements internally to get to the finish line.

6/5 vs Canadian birds with stupid names.

No hitter going

At some point, there has to be a serious discussion about convincing Papi to return for at least one more year. It's much cheaper option for Sox to pay say one year at $25M than to pursue some overpriced 1B/DH type that requires multiple years. That will also give us time to let Sam Travis show us if he can return and be a big league player. Theoretically we will have Koji's $9M come off the books. Payroll for our younger talent is still manageable with early arbitration years coming up. Don't forget Clay B's $13M. I would target Hill as our #5 and give him $7M plus innings pitched laced bonuses. Say $1M for every 25 innings pitched over 100 innings. Someone here probably has better grasp on performance bonus. We sure have plenty of dead money on our roster.......$40M tied up on two guys, one is out for the year and other is a singles hitter making $20M and he's projected to be our DH.

Need to look for bullpen depth in addition to #5..... I can't see DD paying another $18M for two years of Koji......Tazawa is a free agent. Layne is very lame (to me)....you just can't have enough bullpen guys. Only concern with E Rod is injury of some sort. He did not walk a batter last night. (Mr. Clay B., take a note and quit whining as to why you don't start)/
-
I hope DD is enjoying this game as much as I am....
-
I thought the bull pen was well rested after Monday.....shouldn't we try to win this game?
-
Porcello should go back to the hotel.....he should be spared from watching this s***
-
8 straight balls...Hey John, tell me again why we should feel bad for this guy making $13M?
-
note for 2017.....you can never have enough pitching....
-
Jim Kaat fell asleep back in 3rd inning
-
our hitting will slow down at some point.....FO better start looking for another starter
-
Clay B reminds me of Fire Marshall Bill from Living Color
-
All we need is Dice K and this game would last 7 hours....
-
stat of the day....Joe Kelly averages over 21 pitches per inning...the guy has no control....just get rid of the guy.... That St. Louis trade looks good every day.
-
Layne hasn't done jack...he started the Toronto 8-4 fiasco by hitting a batter....no excuse for that up 4 runs
-
Holt is not a starting LF.....he needs to play the super sub role for this ball club. That will allow the Sox to carry an extra relief pitcher. I'm not convinced our starting rotation is solid. Our bats will cool off at some point.
