OK, I misunderstood. You make a good point. I have more faith in professional scouting reports than I do in projections. where are these "professional scouting reports"?

Remember everyone, it's Ellsbury throwing.
Lots of iffy plays on that one. Hanley with iffy decision, Ortiz not hustling, Vazquez giving Ortiz the "don't slide" motion that surely contributed to Ortiz lazily going into home

Complete game shutout of Kansas City for Miley, 114 pitches. I think he likes Safeco. Lol what a nothing statement. He's had 2 total starts there. One awesome one and one dumpster fire.

Carson Smith got his second rehab apprearance and the plan is to have him join the Sox for the upcoming road trip. Who do we think is going to Pawtucket ? Barnes 2 options Hembree 1 option Layne 0 options

Great game by porcello. The ball looks really good coming out of his hand. Bradley, shaw and betts swinging the bat really well. I'm gonna wait till I see him against non-limp offenses. He had a 5.11 ERA in 2 starts versus Toronto, and the next 3 starts happen to have come against the 3 lowest scoring offenses in the MLB currently.

A couple of thoughts, having just read the thread, from start to finish - 1. The way the poll was set-up, why didn't it just have one option - "Fire Farrell"; whoever set that up, clearly had a pre-disposed position, regardless of the very apparent majority opinion of this group. 1 & 3 are basically the same, and item 2, the way it was written, is slanted to the point of almost forcing a responder to 1 or 3. A more fair construct would've have been something more like "not at this point in time, due to significant roster construct issue beyond his control; 2. Pivoting off #1, a more fair poll, would have also included my preferred option - Farrell's decision making "popularity", this season and prior, would likely not be too far off from any other MLB manager I'd have an opportunity to watch "every day" over the course of a season. I also note the praise heaped on TL, without placing his term as interim Manager. in context. I don't have the memory of most of the members here, but I recall TL's success was against the backdrop of DD arrival, the removal of Hanley from the OF, and some members of the rotation pitching at a level they had not, earlier in the season. Regarding on the suggestion made that JF did not have control over the line-up (as I recall, during the back and forth in this thread about giving JF credit for certain decisions this season, measuring in-game versus more "global" decisions like playing time - e.g. playing Shaw > Pablo being credited to FO > JF) - wasn't JF quoted, very early this season, that he wasn't use to that type of latitude? I'm more of an opinion that PRIOR to DD, JF would more likely have been directed to play Pablo > Shaw...and that DD signed off on JF filling out a lineup card that gave Sox best chance to win. cry crybaby

Once the jitters went away Light lived on the black and got some real weak contact. Nice job by him stopping the damage.

Price hasn't seemed terribly sharp, but hes at 13 K's. When he gets his changeup down it is lethal. He struck out 8 of the last 9 batters, a bunch looking, and the inning before that he mowed down 3 guys on 7 pitches.

Lol. Let's let it warm up a bit in Portland before we send our two future stars there.
36 degrees right now, feels like 29. Snow advisory.
They'll move up soon enough.

They can probably read his mind Or watch video of a fatball with no movement. Literally straight as an arrow. If they start their swing soon enough, all they have to do is square it up and it is tater city. This is a near perfect example of how idiotic this forum can be at times. A guy with about as unhittable track record as you can get lol. Good lord. Epic turdness coming out.

It's gonna be fun to be here in 2 years and having the same "Owens is still just 25, he might still be able to learn to command his fastball"

By the end of the year Kimbrel will have put up his usual numbers And he'll still be a reliever. And there's no reality where you give up that package of prospects for a reliever. It's happened several times, so I'm gonna go with their is a reality where that exists.

I hope Margot is the next Bryce Harper just to piss this board off haha This "board" was already pissed the day the Kimbrel trade happened. Yeah pretty much. I remember when the thought of a Henry Owens trade would caused a riot in the Sox Prospects community. Now he wouldn't even be the centerpiece in a trade for a #2. Remember Cecchini? He was untradeable too lol

I would love for all the sycophants who praised Dombrowski and the patently absurd trade to issue mea culpas By the end of the year Kimbrel will have put up his usual numbers

There is some amazing pitching going on so far this season. The Nats have a team ERA of 2.18 and a WHIP of 1.05. The ChiSox have a 2.35 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP and the Cubs have a team ERA of 2.65 and a WHIP of .99. By contrast the Sox have a team ERA of 4.83 and a a WHIP of 1.40 Nationals K/9: 8.31* Red Sox K/9: 10.19 *Nationals pitchers face pitchers, Red Sox pitchers face DHs Nationals BABIP against: .258 Red Sox BABIP against: .320 Oh and Eduardo Rodriguez and Carson Smith are on the way...We'll be fine, you guys need to chill a lil' bit. lol
