Jose Abreu

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

comical.

Good, Jennings is warming

Retaliation, but at the wrong time

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) Shields had Ortiz in strikes and didn't get the call It was a make up call

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:51 PM) Here comes Red Sox Game tying HR or a bunch of singles?

pull him

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) Alternatively I would have been okay with Shields going in there just to bean Ortiz and get tossed. Alas, he only walked him. True, I forgot about the retaliation

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) Do we have someone else to go in the 6th? You want Beck, Purke, or Ynoa? Wouldn't mind Ynoa or Jennings. I know they pitched yesterday too, but I trust them more. That's not saying a lot, however, as I'm not a big Albers fan

Albers again?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) That was strike 3 wth To be fair, strike 1 was ball 1. This ump has been very inconsistent

Everyone has a hit but Frazier and Garcia

Melky is fun to watch

safe

Never make the first or third out at third base!!! Close one

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) Robin should pull Shields now. Be wary of third time through the order and let him leave this one with some good vibes. I wouldn't pull him immediately, but if he allows a hit or a walk then I would. It's not like his pitch count is that high

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:26 PM) At this point, just have to hope Shields can get through 1 more inning w/o giving up any runs & turn it over to the pen. So far, it hasn't been the best but a nice bounce back & should build some confidence. There's nothing wrong with 1 run through 5 innings.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 02:26 PM) What happened? Abreu Frazier and Anderson all called for it and ran into each other but Abreu caught it
