My biggest gripe right now is Ortiz in the cleanup spot. If this team wants to make a run, he needs to be hitting 6th. Because that'll make the difference?

Farrell, is far and away the biggest issue with this team. John Farrell does not make the roster decisions. The front office does. Yeah and the front office had no decision to make but to send him down because Farrell refused to put him in the lineup everyday. And if you are going to suggest the front office makes the lineup decisions, then that is even more reason to fire Farrell cause he is just a figurehead.

When's the last time the Sox successfully turned a 3-6-1? 2013?

Farrell isn't the problem, players need to make plays as reductive as it sounds.

Good hanging breaking ball there
BC needs to stop giving Farrell lefties that don't get lefties out, because Farrell will never take that hint.

The likes of Robbie Ross and Craig Breslow have no place being in a major league bullpen.

Sox are so good at getting that shutdown inning after putting up a run.

I am so done with Kelly. I hated the trade then and I really, really, hate it now.

Wow..Even Keith Law is tweeting that Kelly should be demoted and Johnson called up to take his rotation spot

So are we allowed to talk about Mike Napoli in this game day thread? Or is it frowned upon like it was in the Royals game thread?
I'm asking for a friend.

Time to give Johnson a shot. Also, it beats me why Wright was optioned instead of optioning Ross or the long overdue Breslow DFA.

Two bets:
One, that I could lob the ball to better results than Kelly throws at 90+. What a bum. Traded with another bum for the incredibly cheap Lackey, who wouldn't just be the #1 starter on this team, but the #1 starter * infinity.
Two, you're on, Jmei. The Sox FO will absolutely acquire 2 $25+m starters before next season begins. And by '$25+m' I mean present value. In other words, if they acquire Hamels, that's one down, one to go.

The likes of Robbie Ross and Craig Breslow have no place being in a major league bullpen. Seriously. Demote Ross, Promote Johnson; Move Kelly to the bullpen. DFA Breslow DFA Masterson Promote one of Aro/Light/Hinojosa, or trade for a LHRP (not ideal) This team needs to start getting rid of below replacement/replacement level players if its serious about winning games, since the offense is finally figuring things out.
