QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:16 PM) Robertson's fastball is so bad. 90 down the plate is pathetic from your closer Pretty sure it's a cutter if it's only 90. But if it's straight, then it's a fastball.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 04:14 PM) Bringing Robertson in right now makes literally no sense whatsoever. Would you rather see Duke?

Can we get at least one run here please?

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Bradley with the bunt saved that inning LOL I really didn't understand that one... You're hitting .300. All you need is a deep enough fly ball. Why the hell are you bunting?

Wow, Boston has really choked with RISP this series.

LOL well that worked out well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) Why take Jennings out for this awful pitcher Jennings' splits are almost identical to righties and lefties. Not sure what Robin was thinking.

How do you call that a ball?

Oh man, Chris Beck? For real? This bullpen needs some depth and fast.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:05 PM) Easily one of the main culprits for the fall from 1st to 4th The sad part is that he was a pivotal part of getting us to first place to begin with.

I don't get it, why wasn't Jennings put in to begin with?

I don't think you can pitch a ball right down the middle any better than that.

I figured this would happen sooner or later. Sigh.

It was either Shields or Albers. Pick your poison.

Shields is basically throwing every pitch right down the pipe in this PA.

It's just not possible for Shields to get a 1-2-3 inning.

My goodness what did they do with the other James Shields?

Shields loses JBJ after going ahead 0-2.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 01:51 PM) I went to Fenway I think in 2003. It was before they won, and they were fine. They even gave crap to people leaving and coming during an inning and arriving late. Now they are nothing but glorified Cubs fans. Down 2 with nobody on, they are booing when Papi is 3 and 0. Like who cares if they win, Papi needs to hit a homer. It's what happens when your fanbase gets too big. Too many casual fans who don't really know the game come to watch and it looks bad for the fanbase as a whole.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) Do they? Their system is top 5. For Sale, they might be willing to trade someone like JBJ.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 01:46 PM) So they are running a poll asking which pitcher the Red Sox should trade for...Sale or Q...what a bunch of idiots To be fair, they actually have the prospects to pull it off. The Sox love Swihart.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) This might be the best home ump we have had all year. He is nailing the pitch trax And just as you say that, he calls a borderline one for the home team.

I don't think Boston likes Shields very much. I still remember when Coco Crisp almost knocked Shields' head off in a brawl back when Shields played for Tampa.

What is this? 3 scoreless innings?

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) Yes. Cap worries have evaporated for a couple of years, for sure. That's why the Lopez contract just doesn't matter. We're gonna see fringe starters get what Jimmy Butler got last off-season. Just because they have to fill their cap with something to get over the threshold.
