The Mighty Mite

Maybe they should platoon Shields at first when there’s a tough right handed pitcher facing us. AV looked bad last night with no plate discipline at all, I can’t believe he went after a pitch that was just about over head high, no one can hit a pitch that high. Grifol talked about the team needing to be more focused, AV didn’t get the memo last night. I like AV and I hope he eventually figures things out, if there’s a retool he should be part of the core.

Beni will be better once his wrist is 100%, we’ll see some homers from him too, not a slew but around 15 a year.

That swing was the Robert of April.

How he’s not on 3rd is amazing.

AV needed a ladder to hit that pitch.

You’re darn tootin.

When the Sox fell to 7-21 in April I’m sure most fans said I’m not spending money on these bums so no one should be surprised that attendance is down. I’m actually surprised that at this point they are averaging 20,000 a game. I’ve been pretty good at estimating attendance at Sox games through the years and looking at the rest of the schedule I’m guessing they end up at 1,700,000 for the year, we still have 3 games coming up with the Yankees and 2 with the Cubs which will see crowds in excess of 30,000. The rest of the games won’t see many crowds above 25,000 with crowds in Sept. between 15 and 20 thousand.

At the time of the trade a golf crony of mine who is a Red Sox fan told me that Basabe was going to be the sleeper in the trade and a future star, was he ever wrong.

Red Sox fleeced us, they knew what they were trading.

Holy crap Batman, there’s an out.

Anyone surprised? Kopech is as weak as they come.

I’d give him another year.

This could be one ugly weekend.

Has to be an exception, that and he never played ML Baseball.

That and he was a catcher, IMHO former catchers make the best managers.

I would like to see AJ as the permanent manager. We need a no BS guy and AJ seems like a guy that would light a fire under our lifeless players.

Just pathetic, what else can one say.

Wow, I’m doing handsprings over this move.

Thanks for posting my original remarks, I was too lazy to look it up.

I would have bet that this would happen. No one should be shocked.

Who did we trade to get Ohtani?

Noticed that too.

Billy Pierce should be in the Hall Of Fame. No further discussion needed.

The hiring of TLR was a failure of monumental proportions only exceeded by the hiring of his replacement.

Is there another person like JR around?
