  1. Can't even really feel all that good about beating Toronto after the BP burnout. Glad to have the win but feel like, if that's what it takes to beat a bad team why be too concerned about the next 110 games. They aren't going anywhere. The hopes of turnaround since the April debacle are slow to materialize.
  2. Hah, Hembree gets a second take. Either win it or give up 2 HR's and go back to the hotel.
  3. Ok, I guess I can excited about Chavis and his future here. Now who gets to close this out. Does anyone in that pen have any guts ? Someone else said it in last night's thread: The land of solo HR's.
  4. Moon, you are a pretty bright guy and have seen a lot of baseball,like many of us. This team, however, is very hard to get enthused about because it is an 8 cylinder running on ethanol with 4 fuel injectors missing. Just nothing to get excited about
  5. Heath's in trouble now. 2 out, no one on and he looks sharp, with lots of movement. Please win this now. I told him. They can all go f*** themselves now.
  6. Whose autograph did Leon get on his neck, just under/behind the ear ?
  7. What was nice about Mookie's HR was that the guy you needed to do it, DID IT !
  8. I can, I did , last time in 1986 in a league in TX that allowed a couple former MiLB players on a roster. Won the state championship in the Pepsi Games in San Antonio. Last time to warm a guy up was a pitcher from Univ of Michigan, not wearing any mask. He fliped the glove for a curveball, threw a 90mph FB past my head, and I walked away, never played with the idiot again.
  9. Nice blast by Mookie. Good timing and much appreciated. Looks like Hembree will be up for the save.
  10. Nunez says he can catch
  11. IMO, #6 or 7 in the lineup. Plays LF in Fenway due to his short arm throwing. Modest power , especially second half 2018. Can run well, if he gets on. He is cheap salary wise for a couple more years. Don't think he is a "special ' player. May improve as time goes , but what is he waiting for.
  12. Now here is some humor. Thursday's game is at 12:37 EDT. Cora has worked his primary BP guys and this game is not over yet. Tomorrow's RS starter : Ryan Weber. It's a BP/opener type game.
  13. That's a good , new thought. All the discussion is about moving JBJr, but this season needs to figure out Benintendi's role on this team going forward. You would have to listen with an open mind.
  14. Hit the walkoff or gamewinner and get on ESPN. It's all about the clicks come contract time.
  15. Hey SS, would you trade heads up right now the entire Toronto pen for the Sox pen and take your chances ??
  16. Walden threw his best pitches and got a little lucky with a freeswinging Galvis and a 370' flyball.
  17. Game would have been over and won, had Walden been asked to throw nothing but sliders to light hitting Jansen
  18. I think there was probably a belief that the hitting would carry them well enough to the trade deadline point where they could make moves if needed. The hitters aren't doing it consistently.
  19. Yes, it did. Still feels that way. Cora has burned up 3 of his "better" BP guys.
  20. Relievers, hitters or Leon calling a FB instead of Walden's better slider? Or as Slasher says, Cora pulling Porcello ?
  21. That was a .183 hitter messing up the game. 3 relievers , 3 innings , 3 runs. WTF ??
  22. He was smiling on the bench, wearing a sweater, chewing seeds, so i will guess tomorrow.
  23. There needs to be a PSA advising the Jays to roll over, lay down and die when playing the 119 game winning Red Sox. They are giving no respect.
  24. throwing nothing but heifer heat and calf fry cheese
