Jose Abreu

Alright, Jones-Robertson have no breathing room now but at least we left with the lead

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Would Burdi be the third best guy in the pen right now? Eh... I think it's hard to really expect guys to come straight from college and be effective MLB pitchers. Chris Sale was an anomaly. I think Burdi could be better than Beck/Purke/Ynoa, but not the true MLB guys

Uehara warming up, you know what that means more home runs for us!

A little luck there but still a good play.

The problem will be diluted once Putnam returns, but I think adding a bullpen arm is as important as adding a bat to this team.

Time to give the runs right back! Great. Should've stayed with Jennings.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) Nothing like a bad AAA pitcher getting important at bats Better than a bad AA pitcher getting important at-bats, no? Because that was Tyler Danish a couple weeks ago against Detroit. Baby steps

It would be nice to have Putnam healthy, as Putnam-Jones-Robertson seems infinitely better than a Beck/Purke combo-Jones-Robertson.

Chris Beck?! Well, he better be on a short leash

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) I think Abreu likes Fenway park. Especially RF Poor Red Sox, they did try to sign him! I imagine his numbers would be better if he played for Boston, not just because they'd have no runners on base, but because Abreu seems to hit well at Fenway like you said

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) I want to see Jones in the 7th vs top of order Agreed, but then I'm worried about the 8th

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) FOOL'S GOLD Eternally mediocre! Trade Sale trade everyone blow it up!! Ah, overreactions are entertaining.

They hit him twice in the series, but he hit them harder

CALLED IT!! Should've posted it, damn it, I told my friend he was gonna hit a bomb so it's worth nothing here

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) Am I the only one who wants to see a double steal with these guys on base? Honestly, with Anderson's speed, it's an enticing risk. I wouldn't mind it, as long as he gets a good lead

On the bright side, the Anderson/Eaton 1-2 punch looks very good so far and should be here for quite some time.

Wow, Eaton with 2 bunt singles in 1 day

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) Albers has been so inconsistent. But, offensively we have had our chances Yeah, the Garcia DP last inning looms large now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) After Ortiz walked, that should have been it, but Coop loves to boast about his QS stats so he risked it. Bad inning for this coaching staff. Agreed. The QS stat is dumb to begin with and you should try to win games before you try to improve your personal agenda

Nice pick off

My god, the overreactions... you win 3 games and nobody says anything, you have one nightmarish half inning and people are calling for the destruction of the roster.

Dan Jennings is very underrated. His 3.99 2015 ERA is due solely to two outings where he was hung out to dry for 3+ innings because we had used up all of our relievers.

Well, his line would've been much better had they not brought him out for the 6th.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) Sox starters have to go more than Peavy, I mean Shields, did today. It's that simple. They don't have reliable enough relievers to get them 4 innings of work. Most of the time we lose when we have to use a ton of these stiffs from the pen. Now get to the eighth or ninth and we're talking about a possible victory. Is calling him Peavy supposed to be an insult? He was good in his time here

Matt Albers, ladies and gentlemen
