Other teams are hitting them! I mean you and Jerry Remy on the broadcast both forgot to explain why Orioles and Pirates and Rays players arent having problems crushing balls out of the park. Do you have high blood pressure? No but Chris Sale has alot of unnesscary pressure on himself to pitch a great game Because they cant produce many runs right now thats all.

Everybody needs to calm down and relax about Porcellos start last night! Justin Verlander just got torched for 9 ER and Kluber allowed 6 ER as well in his start this aftenoon! I believe these guys were #1,#2,#3 in CY voting in 2016.

Zubac might be the Lakers best young player. Just watch out for him. He had some massive games for a 19 year old rookie. Had a PER of 17 and was just downright impressive for a second round pick. The fact we are debating second round picks after one year just shows you how good that draft was. If we were rebuilding we could have had Brown, Yabu, Zizic, Brogdon, Zubac and Jackson. By next year those players could be better than the whole Nets team! I like Jones, it was a stupid trade by Cleveland. They are killing the teams future by not developing young players. The problem is James!! He demands veterans that can help now. They need a GM that can get through to him and explain the value of developing young players for the future. Jones has a long way to go to get to Okafor and Winslow level. It could happen but I would still take those two players over him. Okafor needs a new team that can get the most out of him. Winslow still looks to have a bright future also. That all makes sense because LeBron is like their GM so he doesnt care about their future.

Hopefully Devers really finds his power stroke because I'm already missing the longball. It doesn't look like Bogaerts will ever hit for power with his swing being the way they changed it to a couple of years ago. He seems like he is still trying to figure out what type of player he is trying to be. He still would love to hit for power and tries to be that type of guy. Because he knows he could really just easily be a bating title winner just being that protective babip king slap hitter all he wants.

I think the Sox were at or near the bottom of the league in HRs last year thru April and finish near the top... it's early... balls don't carry, especially in Boston early in the season. Also it's too early to give up on Pablo... let it be for a few more weeks. Im pretty sure Porcello is why that game was lost not Sandoval. Other teams are hitting them! I mean you and Jerry Remy on the broadcast both forgot to explain why Orioles and Pirates and Rays players arent having problems crushing balls out of the park.

telluricrook, I got a notification of a response by you but it's not here.... did a moderator delete it? Yes. I said something like Yabusele and Zizic are still prospects and Chad Ford and Pelton get off on still being able to projecting players like that.

He needs to change his approach! How about having him take the first pitch in every AB for the time being. The first pitch to him is out of the strikezone evrerytime this season.

Margot for Kimbrel Does anyone make that trade? Looking back, no probably not but it isn't as if Kimbrel is a bum and Margot wouldn't have a spot on this current Red Sox team when everybody is healthy. Doesnt Matter! Maybe they would have included Margot in Sale trade instead of Mondada or Kopech! So you still have one of them. Its the Same thing as the Pomeranz trade , Its not the fact that they traded these fine young prospects its what they got back!

"We have a couple pitchers in the bullpen that are slow to the plate, but we got Sandy and myself, you know, we're gonna throw everybody out." - Vazquez postgame, after being asked if he thinks teams will keep running on them Vasquez is a great teammate.

I mean this offseason. I just don't think he would've ever gotten the minutes in Boston that he did in Milwaukee. So he would've been on the bench and/or in the D-League. He obviously wouldn't have gotten time over Thomas, Bradley and Smart. Brown? Probably not. And he probably wouldn't have gotten a chance to show what he can do so likely not Rozier (who Boston loves and wanted to give a chance to) either. Green maybe but, remember, it's hard to win a spot in the rotation in practice (from outside the rotation). He got a chance in Milwaukee. Very likely wouldn't have in Boston. So, as Boston looks to clear space this offseason, they'd likely release him (assuming that, like most 2nd rounders, he would've had a non or partial guarantee for next year) following the year (unless they gave him something like Jackson where the guaranteed portion is less than the roster charge). Ok I understand. But give me Brogdon over Rozier, Bradley(Maybe not right now) and Green and Smart and Possibly Brown!They should have known that. And they told Brogdon that they like him and they might draft him and they opted to make the trade instead. These guys needed to nail at least one of those late round draft picks they had.

If Boston had drafted Brogdon, he'd probably be a candidate for release (non-guaranteeing his salary for next year) as Boston tries to clear cap space. He had an opportunity in Milwaukee that he, likely, never would've gotten in Boston. Under the circumstances, I'll take the pick. Try to clear cap space for who? They could have given him a 4 year deal like they did to D Jackson and released the other bums like they did to Ben Bentil.

When was the last time a starter finished out an inning? Regardless of how well they pitched, Chris Sale in his first start?

Not really, Id like the Sox to lay off! Just like the Pirates are laying off Erods stuff! You would like the Sox to lay of when he's pounding the strike zone all game? He was in his last inning! Not as much earlier. Anyway im not happy with the way this offense is loooking. They got 8 runs on Baltimore but their defense wss terrible.

The Celtics would have drafted Malcolm Brogdon #31 or #35 but instead they made those picks for Memphis and traded them for some stupid future 1st rounder!

This 1-3-1 trap thing is a stupid gimmick that can work in the regular season. And they can frustrate teams in the middle of a season. The Bruins will win this series in 5 games!
