    The schedule is only as good as the situation at the time. Down 3-0 is not the time, but 3-3 is.
  2. Old Red
    Lolich is still dealing.
  3. Old Red
    Dugy slow going after the ball. Lifeless is right.
  4. Old Red
    I think JBJ catches both.
  5. Old Red
    The JBJ trade looks worse everyday. He has to platoon, and there is no regular OF to takes his place. This is all on Bloom.
  6. Old Red
    Is that McClain, and Lolich out there for Detroit the last two games?
  7. Old Red
    Yes to the ist question, and depends on the hitter like JBJ for the 2nd.
  8. Old Red
    If you look back to last year the difference between the Sox making the postseason, or not was one game. I’m not freaking out, but they all count.
  9. Old Red
    I don’t think Story is much help at this point. He does need to get some AB, but he only had 6 AB in ST, so I don’t see the Sox getting any output from him for sometime.

    Let’s not leave out my favorite Flintstone Schwarber 2 for 14, 1 HR
  11. Old Red
    If you keeping throwing things against the wall sooner, or later something will stick. The pile on the floor keeps getting bigger though.
  12. Old Red
    Fact, or fiction?
  13. Old Red
    Who knows what the staff, or the team for that matter will look like next year. Could be lots of comings, and goings.
  14. Old Red
    I get your point, but if they see him as a starter then why isn’t he starting? Being in a piggy back role to me is just a waste of only pitching 1-2 days a week compared to 3-4 days a week as a closer. The Red Sox May view him as a starter in the future, but I just don’t think right now. I’m not saying I’m right, but just my thought.
  15. Old Red
    I just don’t think at this point that there is serious thought of making Houck a closer, and will get every chance with Frail out to be a part of the rotation, which lots have been clamoring for on here. On the other hand I don’t think there is serious thought right now of putting Whitlock into the rotation, but that could all change with Houck, Hill, or Whacka imploding.
  16. Old Red
    I don’t think Houck has the consistency of throwing strikes to be a closer. He has the stuff, but not the control, which Whitlock does, and I would trust Whitlock more in the closers role, which I think that’s where he should be. I think it is a waste to only pitch Whitlock 2 times a week as a long man when he could pitch 3-4 as a closer.
  17. Old Red
    Great job by the pen.
  18. Old Red
    The fact that he could be locked up through 2028 is long term, and no messing around with arbitration is good too.
  19. Old Red
    Arauz at 2B today, and Arroyo in RF. Suzuki hit his first HR today. To bad the Sox don’t have someone like that in RF.
  20. Old Red
    Houck would have been in the pen if Frail hadn’t gotten hurt.
  21. Old Red
    I went back, and forth on resigning ERod, but I think he wanted out of Boston anyway. It would just be better if we got someone good enough to stick around more than a year.
  22. Old Red
    I’m not asking for any big FA contract, but just something out of the bargain basement would be nice, or a trade for someone young like Pivetta was in a trade.
  23. Old Red
    If the Sox had money for Story they had money for better pitching, which they refused not to do, and went bargain basement instead.
  24. Old Red
    Pivetta’s pitch count was fine. Stanton, Judge, and Rizzo are going to hit their HR no matter what the pitch count is.
  25. Old Red
    The Sox bullpen is not the reason they could be 0-2 very shortly. Giving up the long ball by the starters, and sluggish bats has been more of a problem.
