Hawk should drop a, "In my three quarters of a century in baseball..." today. And then inevitably say something wrong and irrelevant.

Well, Harrelson did make national news by equating Frazier and Bryant despite 200+ OPS differential.

Hawk has done this crap for years. Stats don't matter to Hawk, its only his perception that matters.

Abreu 3 run BOMB after Sano butchered a sharp Melky grounder to third.

Only 188 more games of Todd Frazier, I pray.

Glad you're not the GM

Yah, but Bryant is no Todd Frazier defensively

The eye test tells me he's not a complete bust. His BA is pathetic, but he has produced a lot of bombs and his glove isn't miserable. I'm tempted to give him a 7 out of 10 rating but because of that BA I better give him a 6.5.

Looks like we have jump started Buxton's career

This is obviously not a well informed or thought out baseball statement

I don't think at this point Renaudo is a starting pitcher option in 2017.

He is pretty bad.

 

He was bad for Boston, bad for Texas, now bad for the Sox.

The back end of the Sox rotation makes one want Danks and Noesi back.

If memory serves me right he has pitched only one good game and that was his first one. He had one mediocre game and was a bust otherwise

I don't think he's a major league option at this point. Guy throws BP.

John Danks was absolutely horrific this year, there's nothing that would make me want him back. It's just too bad that after cutting him loose we immediately traded for the right-handed version of him.

Ranaudo hangs so many offspeed pitches

Still early in the for the Sox but this series has been very discouraging

Why is Ranaudo still out there?

Just so much junk on the roster right now

I would think when Fulmer is stretched out enough we should be more looking towards him being a starting option next year and not pitch him out if his rookie status if he still qualifies

Why is Ranaudo still out there?

The bullpen pitched forever last night. If they are going to leave these 2 dopes in the rotation, they need to split them up to give the bullpen a break.

 

At least Abreu is back.

Renaudo would look good in a Rockies uniform. His ERA would be around 15.
