    Yes, a 19 inning game would be most welcome. We need tons of innings put on those staffs!

    This is a strong move by desperate dave. Maybe someone is not healthy? Or maybe desperate dave is anticipating. including Travis in trade in the near future? But the fact that desperate dave is building depth and stock piling chips, is a sign to me that he finally realizes you need more than 25 players over the course of a season.

    I have been extremely impressed by our starting pitching thus far this year, with the exception of Pomeranz. Pomeranz’s velocity and movement have decreased this year and he could is getting hit hard.

    Nice win tonight. Leon had a tremendous game. So glad to see him making contact.

    Outfielder Trevor larnach of Oregon state is a guy that desperate Dave might consider in the first round. Hits well to the opposite field, draws walks and projects to have decent power.
  6. Larry Cook
    Lin, Castillo and ockimey with taters tonight.

    Our core is basically home grown. Betts, benintendi, bogey, Barnes, bradley, devers, Vazquez, and other contributors. I felt Ben was intent on building incredible depth in the minors to continue adding more home grown players. Yet impatience waiting for guys to develop and our inability to develop home grown starters derailed everything Ben was trying to do. In many ways, ben’s greatest flaw in my opinion was thinking we could wait four years for his master plan to develop. Yes desperate Dave came in and shortened the timeline and made us competitive immediately, and yes, he has had some bad luck with injuries. So the question is, has he done enough?

    Travis with another tater today. He struggled to get the timing down when he returned from the dl. But he seems to be getting back to hitting.
  9. Larry Cook
    I still think Larry was behind the sandavol and Hanley signings. Hopefully at some point down the road, we find out which guy was the driver behind those signings,

    Benintendi is really swinging the bat nicely. He slid staying back on th ball and making decent contact. Really hoping Betts comes back soon and is 100 percent healthy.

    Jeremy eierman of mizzu state is a guy I think projects as a second baseman with some power, I think he projects to be at the major leagues in 3 years and that is just prior to pedroia’s contract expiring,
  12. Larry Cook
    Grayson Rodriguez had the potential to be a major league starter. At 6’4” plus he meets the Sox height requirement. Fastball sits 92 or so. It’s a heavy ball that is tough to muscle up. He throws a decent slider and I know the Sox don’t usually let their starters throw sliders. Th curveball is a work in progress.

    Mata went 5 innings and gave up 2 runs, but walked 4.
  14. Larry Cook
    Sale just did not have any movement today. Hopefully it is just a one off!
  15. Larry Cook
    Maybe I’ll win the powerball lottery tonight! Hope is usually not a good strategy! Of course desperate dave wakes up every day and hopes John Henry never learns the definition of fraud!
  16. Larry Cook
    I think we need to ask ourselves what Pomeranz is giving us when he can not go at least 5 innings and burns up the bullpen. I have more faith in Velasquez than I do Pomeranz.
  17. Larry Cook
    2018 is the year of dead payroll (Sandoval, Castillo and now Hanley) Hopefully we are rewarded with a tirle for all this trouble!
  18. Larry Cook
    Travis, witte, dalbec and rusconi all with taters today. Dalbec with his 9th.
  19. Larry Cook
    I look at beek’s stuff and I think of words like average and ordinary. Yet, all he does is get hitters out everywhere he goes. I hope this kid gets a chance to show his stuff in Boston, because to date, he has earned it in my book.
  20. Larry Cook
    It may be a coincidence, but the ringling brothers circus announces their demise shortly after desperate dave is hired to run the Red Sox. And now we have a full fledged circus operating in our baseball operations department!
  21. Larry Cook
    The best player should play! And that means Moreland should be the starting first baseman. No idea what Cora is doing, but clearly it is not in the best interest of the team to hope and pray a couple of guys end their slumps.
  22. Larry Cook
    Witte and ockimey with taters tonight.
  23. Larry Cook
    Ethan Hankins rhp Georgia high school. Tall at 6’5” plus. Incredible life on his fastball. The fastball sits low to mid 90’s but it has a ton of life on it. He can throw it on both sides of the plate. Best fastball I have seen to date in this draft. His fastball makes houck’s look like a middle schooler is throwing it. The other secondary stuff is raw and needs lots of work. Highly unlikely he slips to us, but if he does, Desperate dave needs to be all over this kid!
  24. Larry Cook
    I can not see mookie signing a ten year deal unless he has outs every other year in it.
  25. Larry Cook
    That cutter like pitch that price throws kept Tampa guessing all night. Nice win tonight!
