Happ is an average pitcher ...he's made this lineup look undisciplined and overmatched...between Leon swinging in the other batting Box to JD swinging over his head ...to Benny swinging at balls at his helmet ...it's been a well deserved failure up to this point .
Coaches are responsible for not reminding these players what's actually happening during the game ...He's throwing high FB for outs like helmet high ...this team is either stupid ? Slow ? Lazy ? Or think they can go yard on High heat ....aweful approaches and aweful coaching .
Wasn't going to post in games for a week but this needs to be said ....how in the hell does the pitch coach not sit every one of these idiots down after the second time through Happ and say ....are you honestly going to swing at balls at your chins ? If so we should have left you in hollyweird .
We don't know who he is Defense wise or offensively ...I just want to know and then go get a catcher to go alongside Vaz ....who is as streaky as our Guy JBJ ..when they get hot it must look like a basketball coming in because they get real white hot ...I hope your right about when Pedey gets back . .Swiharts upside is far and away better than Leon .
When will Sandy Leon hit ? It's been 2 years now... He's hitting what 115 now ???is beyond paethetic ...I don't give a rip if the pitchers "like " him ....Either find an upgrade or we are screwed with a black hole in the lineup whenever he catches .I know what Leon is he's a solid gem caller he's a decent Defensive Catcher and he's an absolute horror show at bat .We have to give Swihart a shot Now it's past time .I don't want to here he's had his shot that's trash and you know it .Blake could be the Answer there for many years or the door shut on his career but they must try this guy .
Just a thought but maybe Mitch does better as a bench player ? I like the guy and yes he's had some great moments but maybe they came because he's coming off the pine ? ...I personally love Hanley at 1b guess I'm The exception ....I hate Nunez D but his bat over Lin gets the nod for me at second ..love Lins glove and would love to see him get the D stopper job there in late innings ...kids got real range .
QFT ...this was a gamble after Lowrie and he pushed all in and busted ..I hope he learns not to push the envelope now .The play was put smith in after Lowrie but hey Why micro manage a few days later ..have to get a series win and keep the hammer down .Boston Sports teams have had a pretty rough 4 day stretch lets flip that around .
When's Pedey back ? The team has done a fantastic job for the most part but the Defense will be much better when Pedey and X are out there obviously .I Look for Pedey to explode offensively after watching successful and unsuccessful approached at bats .The team chose to stay disciplined up until the As series and then went to chasing way to many balls that where way out of the strike zone ...it's a blip I'm sure but they showed just how terrible they look as a group when they take last years approach .
This rest thing is with good intention but with terrible planning and consequence.Mookie ,JBJ ,JD ,Benny ,Hanley have no reason to take another rest day for the next couple weeks .
I was the dick here ...Im banning my own ass a few games ...Dude was being positive and I still am melting down over getting no hit by the local Dollar General softball team ...Banned a week by self Reason ....I'm a dick when we lose .
What !!!!! Dude if I figure out what that just meant I'd maybe feel insulted ...until then ??? You are about as important as a nat on your own dogs s***** ass.
