8/5 Red Sox at Royals
Old Red replied to moonslav59's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
He just pitched 2 innings Saturday. Cora trying to get to much out of him. -
If the Red Sox thought Criswell was the answer they wouldn’t have sent him back to Woo, and added Paxton after Criswell came back. I don’t know if Paxton is much of an improvement at this late point of the season though.
-
I agree. Who sent Wink down to Woo? Who sent Criswell back to Woo? I don’t think those moves was just a Cora decision at all.
-
Brez was quite pleased with himself of his accomplishments at the trade deadline even though the rotation was only somewhat helped by finding someone in the breakdown lane hitchhiking.
-
It just took a while to get there.
-
He’s played better D at 3B too.
-
Wow again!
-
Wow!

Like I asked how many games did the Red Sox lose between the AS break, and the trade deadline, because of the back end of the BP blew games late. They needed help then, and even more knowing Jansen wouldn’t be going to Colorado, and did nothing, and losses resulted, because of it. You have NO clue if a trade could have been done then, or not, and neither do I. In the end they had to trade anyways last resort, or not, but once again waiting for the trade deadline losses happened in the meantime. Using the Wing Man, and the Yo Man they were pretty much pitching short handed anyways.
-
And it the meantime how many games did the Red Sox lose , because of the backend of the BP late in games since the AS break? You’ve mentioned this yourself. 4 loses that won’t be given back.
-
Why did it have to be the waiver wire in the first place?
-
That’s the question I asked. That’s kind of like I was told the Red Sox couldn’t have done anything better with their $10M than Kike when they resigned him. The Red Sox couldn’t have done much worse than the Wing Man, and the YO Man. I don’t know who else was out there at the time, but if that’s all the was than Baseball is even in worse shape than I thought.
-
You are such a NN. NO ONE said anything about pitching short, or with a 6 man staff, but you. Were the Wing Man, and the Yo Man the ONLY two so called available arms out there, or was it that’s who the Red Sox chose?
-
He had a shorter stint than the Wing Man.
-
Oh no! We hardly even knew ya.
-
Bolt? Really? Another bad comparison? Houck’s career high is what is was, because he’s bounced around between starting, and BP, been inconsistent, and been injured. So should he just stop pitching, and go home? Ignorant? This is coming from NNN. The Kut Man has bounced around too, so should he just go home now?
-
Mata doesn’t matter.
-
Another excuse. Just, because Kut Man, and Houck are reaching career highs doesn’t mean they still can’t pitch. It’s not like their career highs were that high to begin with.
-
You mean that the pitchers are coming back down to earth, and the Bailey magic is wearing off.
-
Waver wire, and the dump are two entirely different things and that’s pretty clear to me.
-
You answered the question with your first sentence.
-
I guess you really don’t listen to what’s being said in many other parts of RSN.
-
Of course that’s what any fan would want the Red Sox to do is to play short-handed. That goes without saying.
-
Really that’s where you are going to go when DD brought others in on the other end of the spectrum. Bad, bad comparison if it rates an comparison at all.
-
You complain what you want to, and others are going to complain about what they want to such as dumpster diving. There is enough to go around for everyone.
