  • Forum Post: Farrell pulling a Francona again?

    Posted 05/18/2013 11:43:02 EDT

    Completely agree Farrell got this wrong and took Dempster out too soon and overtaxed the bullpen.  Does Farrell have so little faith in the lineups ability to drive in more runs?  Besides, Dempster ne more »

    softlaw is right--he did basically predict the outcome and virtually guaranteed no sweep. 

    southpaw777, definitely part of the ebb and flow.

    Bump.  Pretty good prediction in the OP if I do say so.  I did not expect Doubront to be adequate last night nor the 9 runs the night before to support Lester.  Still a long way to go, but you gotta l more »

    Definitely clutch.  But some commentators up above seem to have forgotten the exact situation. Yes, Rodney walked not two, but three Sox players, who all ended up scoring.  However, he also had two ou more »

    Posted 05/17/2013 12:32:36 EDT

    Of course the Sox need a lot of guys to contribute.  Middlebrooks absolutely can't do it by himself.  But the OP thesis is that a hot Middlebrooks would make the biggest difference, and that's not so more »

    Too much water under the bridge to look back. Plus things keep changing this season with guys going on and off the DL.

    Hitting is a problem with these guys, regardless of team OPS, runs scored, whatever. I liked the five starters after a couple of cycles through the rotation I thought Ben C had done well.  I still lik more »

    Agree with softy about Farrell.  I don't agree with his assessment of the players, but right now it's hard to make that case because the team is in a tailspin.  I especially like Farrell pulling Lacke more »

  • Forum Post: Bradley v. Ellsbury

    Posted 05/15/2013 04:28:15 EDT

    I think that's the plan for 2014--Ellsbury leaves, Bradley moves up, Sox get a draft choice.

    Could that happen this summer?

    My son is in his 40's and only played 1B in high school, but he's a lefty, and that's about all it takes these days to shut down the Sox.  If Price gets tired tonight, look for Abe Bialystock to go in more »

    It wasn't an error.  Should have been, but wasn't.  And it's absolutely true that stuff happens, and good pitchers still take care of business.  Lackey was just having a bad night, which is why Farrel more »

    This discussion is getting needlessly complicated.  Ellsbury is in a contract year and wants in the worst way to play well and especially hit well.  If he does well, this can only help the Sox, who pr more »

    Gomes made a nice catch last night, but he is horrible at the plate.  Play Nava every darn day.  Kick Ellsbury and Middlebrooks in the keester.  Cafardo says bat Pedroia 2d, which means Victorino lead more »

    Sun is a long way from setting.  Meanwhile, I think the pitching is good enough, but the hitting is definitely struggling, and that applies primarily to recent games.  Peter Abraham points out how bad more »
