Seriously, Bard was just nasty. Very few big leaguers would even get a foul ball in that at bat.

 

 

Really. Sometimes the pitcher is just better. Hell, even Ted Williams was 'bad' almost 60% of the time during his .400 season.

 

People need to keep things in perspective. If Beckham misses consistent meatballs and can't do anything with ordinary pitching that is one thing, but DONT DUMP on him when someone does to him what Bard did...

 

it indicates you never have played and/or understand the game of baseball.

To be fair, at that point the Sox didn't look like the kind of team that was going to spend enough to be able to keep AGon long term

 

Now we know that may have been the case, but it was tough to judge back then.

 

What would cause anyone to believe the AGon would even want to sign with the Sox ? Even if they outbid everyone.

 

Lots of players would rather sign with another organization and I don't blame them.

Eh... I guess you're right. I guess hindsight is 20/20... or 50/50... or however that stupid f***ing saying goes.

 

Dammit I just want my team to win.

I can sense balta's frustration from here.

To PH a 44 year old man is a total joke of a roster!

I wanna see beckham with another hitting coach before giving up on him

Agreed, which is why we need to get rid of Ozzie as he'll never admit Walker is not getting the job done.

Hey Hawk, STFU. Boston had no trouble getting 2 strike hits against Crain.

Good hustle Alexei!

Ok Juan, pull the ball. Nice hustle Alexei!

Yea it's kinda interesting isnt it? Omar Vizquel as a defensive replacement, but pinch hitting with him?

 

I am rapidly losing faith in Ozzie...the Rios situation really was the cherry on top.

 

I think it may be time for a totally new direction.

I would be willing to bet that Ozzie has no idea Morel is better against RHP than LHP

The AT&T Multiverse view addition has almost been as bad as the Adam Dunn acquisition this year. Awful.

 

The ever elusive 2 out hit! YAWN

That's our #3 hitter! He's so damn slow now compared to what he used to be.

I bet Sandy Alomar Jr or Dave Martinez will. Hopefully next year too.

Rios in line to make the last out of the game. Too bad, as Red Sox fans cheering will be louder than the booing.

It's especially awesome that the AT&T Uverse Multiview is showcased on Comcast Sports Net.

I would be willing to bet that Ozzie has no idea Morel is better against RHP than LHP

 

LOL. Morel is really good at hitting the other way. Im sick of it, give the young guys a chance to prove themselves...he has looked good today. Why not stick with a guy who looked like he was doing well?

 

Wait we just lost the DH

Clearly Ozzie wants to be an NL coach. LMAO!!!!!

It takes a great manager like Ozzie to think outside of the box like that move

 

LMAO...pitcher due up 4th in bottom of 9th. Is there anyone left to pinch hit?

 

Ozzie should submit himself for drug testing before tomorrow's game.

Why not just play Flowers at first? Isn't he a 1B? Feel like Oz shoulda done that from the beginning. As long as you let Konerko run, bring AJ in to catch & bat 3rd, and stick flowers at 1st......

He's a brilliant in-game manager.

Bard was nasty, but let's get real here. Beckham struggles to hit most fastballs.
