    Chang at SS today. Can’t wait to see this suspect.

    I was only talking about the BP when I said there was no plan. To start the season there was no established closer, or setup man. Sale went down before spring training even started, and neither Houck, or Whitlock were even considered for closer, or setup at that time, so like I said No established closer was there to start the season. That does not sound like much of a plan to me.

    I’m saying he never should have been counted on to be the closer to start the year.
  4. Old Red
    And he picked right up where he left off last year this year. Come on man!
  5. Old Red
    Barnes was so good he was left off the postseason roster, and you were counting on him? Come on man!

    JBJ can’t hit, because he can’t hit, and a new team, and a new league had nothing to do with it. Duran plain, and simple sucks as an outfielder, and that about as bad of an example that anyone could use. JBJ improved the D in RF, but hurt the overall team in the process, so big deal. You were one of the few who liked the JBJ trade, and good for you, but to most it was more than a head scratcher.

    Plawecki DFA.

    They already knew that JBJ couldn’t hit, and you made excuses that he was on a new team facing new pitchers the year before. Don’t use Duran as an example that OF D is not a given. He’s pretty much the worst of the worst, and most ML OF can track, and catch a flyball.JBJ improved the D, but did that improve the team when you took away a 30+ HR, and 90+ RBI man? The whole OF got off to a real bad start with the bat, and so did the team, and Kike has sucked all year when he has played with the bat.

    This we agree on.

    Good pen on paper to start the season? Outside of Whitlock going in who was their closer, and setup man. Barnes, and Robles?
  11. Old Red
    The Globe says there is an open audition going on in the pen for next year, but to me what’s happens now does not guarantee anything for next year. Can you count on Schreiber to be as good next year? I don’t think so, and what about Whitlock next year?

    Outside of the trade for JBJ the biggest problem to me going into the season was not having a plan , and , or a closer to start the season, and still don’t for that matter. Looks right right now Whitlock is the 8th inning guy, and that’s fine, but I still say a closer is need not named Houck.

    4-6-10 Big win last night, and big rally in the 8th with the 4 walks, but a wins a win . Still 4 games out from 500, but with hitting like last night I don’t think this juggernaut will be stopped from getting to that all impressive 500 mark.

    They used to say Homer Jones the old WR of the New York Giants was like a guy on a motorcycle with a butterfly net catching footballs. Duran playing the OF is like he trying to catch butterflies without a net. Duran Duran the butterfly man.

    Not just injuries, but injuries that all seem to take much longer than first thought. Anybody seen Hosmer lately?
  16. Old Red
    No change in the standings, and with only 19 games to go I think the only question left is if the Red Sox can get to what seems to be that elusive 500 mark. With being 5 games away I’m saying no.
  17. Old Red
    Playoffs? Did someone say playoffs? The Portland Sea Dogs are in for the first time since 2014.
  18. Old Red
    Old friend Daniel Bard notched his 30th save yesterday. Not bad for a team worse off then the Sox , and 20 games under 500. Didn’t we used to have a guy like that once?
  19. Old Red
    We know that Dugy does not have a arm for RF. Pham was a good acquisition, but someone who could play RF would have been better.
  20. Old Red
    He’s got the stuff, but needs to get a little more economical with his pitches. Pencil him in for the rotation next year.
  21. Old Red
    Don’t forget Dalton Jones, but I hear what you are saying. There were lots of times this year that reminded you of watching a little league game.
  22. Old Red
    Arroyo was out of position last night for the cutoff that could have prevented most of the damage of the 3 run keystone cops impression.

    5-7-11 How low can you go? 500-Div- Last Wild Card Spot
  24. Old Red
    JD tripped over 2B last year going out to play in the outfield, and hurts his ankle, but can’t touch 1B running the bases. Wow!
  25. Old Red
    Ort hitting 99, and 100 tonight. I guess he doesn’t want Bloom to get that DFA pen out on him.
