The Sox are fortunate to get out of those two innings with only allowing one run (then again, given a competent defense, the game could be tied).

lol at trading Q because as usual his defense sucks donkey dick. You guys need to appreciate him more. He could have gone off on his fielders a dozen times over the last few years. His body language is always neutral or positive. Dude has reason to be angry and he keeps it together.

Not his fault

Has he EVER been able to pitch over mistakes? At some point, part of it is his fault. Yeah, this team gives him jack all run support and shoddy defense, but he isn't exactly innocent of all failure.

Trade Q for a catcher or 3B

We need to trade Quintana for a decent right hander.

With his performance and his contract, that post better be about some guy called John Decent who throws 110mph and is physically allergic to an ERA over 3

Sigh.

 

 

We have a ton of left hand pitchers .... we have 1 right hander and he has been bad.

 

Doesn't seem illogical to me.

It is not just the defense why I would explore a deal.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess he's been capable of pitching over mistakes, what with his consistent ERA in the 3s and all

I don't care if they have 5 strong LHP

I'm not saying Quintana is horrible... he might have value to get something we need more.

I do.

 

3/5 of our division is made of teams with strong right handed hitters.

Jesus, he's one of the 20 best starters in baseball signed to a team friendly deal. Yea, if Boston wants to give you Bogarts and Betts for you him you drive him to the airport himself but short of being bowled over like that with an offer of young MLB ready starters -- f*** no you don't trade him.

3-1 count, with a guy having control issues, and we try to steal with Avi...

Should be safe

Should be safe

Hope so. I'm only seeing it on game day so kind of blind.

Replay is pathetic. Not a hard call there

I think Q is a guy I would explore trading, If a team wants to overpay.

He's not the type of guy teams overpay for

Quintana career v LHP: .248/.302/.382

Quintana career v RHP: .261/.318/.393

 

If you're really that desperate to have more of a righty/lefty split in the rotation despite none of them actually struggling way more against righties, why not move Danks (the way worse pitcher) into a long man roll and give one of our righties like Guerra or Johnson a chance?

WTF make a decision come on get it on with.

NY replay is a joke..............Yankees and Boston dam near get every call.

Wtf horrific call

Hawk calling conspiracy!

At the game, looked safe on the jumbo-tron. What do you guys think?

Are you f***ing kidding me?

Definitely safe.

we keep saying our draft strategy is to take the guys we can develop (starting pitching) and use that to acquire position players. Our position players are so bad that maybe its tile to look at the words we keep saying.
