Devers swing looks good. If he is straight, he could be an X factor in the playoffs. We have to get benintendi locked in as well.
-
One series at a time! We need to focus on Houston!
-
He had a bad shoulder from day one. Will he be healthy next year? I think it affected his power this year and hopefully he gets that back for the playoffs and next year.
-
Tremendous win today. This team literally runs hot or cold. So glad they came into the playoffs through the front door and not the back door!

9/29 vs Astros - the CLINCH

Does this feel like deja vu to anyone else. Did not this same kind of limp to the finish line happen last year? -
Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?
Larry Cook replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
We have several more years of numerous dl trips for pedroia. Th guy makes bananas look durable. News flash for Sox management, when pedroia is hurt, which is often, just put him on the dl and quit trying to nurse him along. He's too fragile for that. -
If you want staton then young pitching will have to be in the equation. That means Rodriguez, groome, matta to start with. I am not prepared to go there for staton.

I am not mad about the trade, I see why desperate dave made the trade. We needed an 8th inning guy and Thornburg'a stats said he could be that guy. Where I get frustrated with dave about this trade is: 1.) thornburg had a history that says the arm could go at any moment. You would think after being burned by smith, he would have learned his lesson. But no! 2.) dave knew moncada was going to be part of the sale trade. Why include Shaw? Did he really feel pablo was going to bounce back? Or did he have total confidence that Marco was going to have a breakout year? 3.) he overpaid. Did he really fall so in love with Thornburg that he could not have walked away from the table and moved on? Hopefully dave pursues ohtani with the same balls out aggressiveness that he pursued smith, Kimbrel and Thornburg!!!

Countdown to the Playoffs - 2017 Edition
Larry Cook replied to Slasher9's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Desperate dave needs to put his energy into signing ohtani! Ps: I would say desperate dave should get one of the whiz kids in the operations department to look into this, but then I remembered he ran them all off last offseason and all have left in there are Fred flintstone, Barney rubble and mr. Maggoo. -
It would be nice if we get Nunez healthy. Pedroia is burnt toast out there and a detriment to the team.
-
Pitching, defense and timing hitting are the keys to a championship. The hitting is what is driving every body crazy this year. It is so unpredictable, Take today's game. We have 1 run through 7 innings and our offense looks terrible, then explode for 4 runs in the 8th.
-
Pablo has some serious timing issues at the plate. With some confidence and improved timing, he should be a decent bat.
-
We have to really consider whether or not pedroia should be on the Post season roster. He is a one legged gimp and slumping badly. It would be nice if Nunez was back healthy.
-
The biggest problem with the slumps is our guys are flawed hitters. Most can't hit the low outside slider, yet none can lay off it. Another problem is almost all are nicked up. Broken toes, hurt knees, sore hands, thumbs and wrists. Just a ton of injuries that affect timing.
-
Oooppsss! Spell check is a beast!
-
The zombies are back! It would be nice if chilli noticed and snapped them out of it.
-
csn Wright come back after being out so long? Ps: if we sign ohtani, then whatever happens with Wright is mute!
-
Plan A, the one and really only offseason priority is for desperate dave to go balls out for Ohtani. If he has had to pimp out verlander's squeeze to get this done, then get the pimping done! If he has to donate a kidney or give a quart of blood to an ohtani family member, then do it. Plan b, if dave bungles plan a, is to sign Cobb. I really think he is on the verge of a break out campaign, especially if he gets out of Tampa. Plan c, sign/trade for a replacement for Moreland, use porcello and Hanley as trade bait! Plan d, sign/trade for a replacement for young. Ohtani, sale, Pomeranz, price, Rodriguez. With Wright, Johnson and Velazquez in Pawtucket! Wow, rotation set!
-
Our offense is power deficient and it is very difficult in the major leagues to get three hits an inning to score a run! Add in a host of minor/semi major injuries to almost all our hitters and you have a recipe for less runs than last year. Single biggest problem is lack of a veteran leader. Pedroia is not that kind of guy. Hanley is definitely not that guy. Neither betts or Bradley or bogey have stepped up. Benintendi and devers are rookies. Neither Vazquez nor Leon appear to have any varitek in them. The ultimate locker room leader is votto,but he plays in the other dugout!
-
Can we find a better starting option for Porcello? If we do, are we able to trade porcello?
-
How does Carlos Santana for first base sound? Some power, plus good on base percentage.
-
Or a phat bank account!
-
We really need Rodriguez to come through tomorrow! Hopefully benintendi shows his family some offensive fireworks tomorrow!
-
Wow! Great win tonight and we pick up a game on the Yankees!
-
Porcello throws more meatballs than anybody I have ever seen. Only a few are turned into taters, the rest leave batters wondering how they missed the meatball.
