No wait Dumbrowski will trade a few top prospects for Frazier or Moustakas.

That was actually pretty impressive by Workman considering he was only using a 88-90 MPH "Heater".

JBJ needs to get the heck off this team for now! He gets nothing but strikes throw to him and he looks clueless out there.

We need some Major league caliber players on this roster! Rutledge? Kendrick? Taylor are you kidding me?

Bogaerts still needs to lay off that stuff. And he cant pull that stuff on the basepaths.

Gauseman Hit 5 batters in 179 innings last season. That little rat tried to be sneaky and thought he could get away with hitting someone with a curveball and it blew up in his face!

Regarding Kimbrel, he did have that knee injury but that's not what started his issues last season. He had an issue with a ligament in his thumb that was causing him to "yank" the ball out of the strike zone a lot more than he normally would have. The knee injury came later. He didn't say anything about the injury last season but it's since come out and it explains very well why a closer who was pretty damn elite - there I said it, was thoroughly mediocre last season, is now healthy, and is completely lights out. I no longer have those cardiac Kimbrel fears when he comes into pitch. THIS is the elite closer from the Braves that they traded for. Those three guys he faced today had no chance whatsoever. He's throwing strikes or at least those pitches are so nasty the batter has no chance to figure out if they are or they're not. So at 1/6 of the way thru the season Kimbrel has been elite and more importantly has allowed the Red Sox to win games late that they lead in or else they'd really be in trouble if they had a mediocre closer around and given the disparity of Kimbrel to the rest of the pen, his value is pretty damn high right now. He's easily been the second most enjoyable pitcher to watch on the staff behind Chris Sale. As for the rest of the game, the ump was ridiculous. There was no real reason to eject Gausman. That was a joke. The strike call to Adam Jones was a joke. Pomeranz pitched decently and with Espinoza questionable for awhile, the trade looks about as good as it can look for the Red Sox. I still hate the trade or the concept of it, but for now, it's not biting the Red Sox in the butt, and Pomeranz has been alright, just not the the top of the rotation type starter they were hoping for. What has really been alarming to me has been the number of morons I've heard on radio or read on the net who say that Jones is a liar and he didn't hear anything. It's amazing how many moronic racists there are out there. It's like they're termites crawling out of the woodwork as they've been emboldened since this past election. It's a nauseating time to be an American unfortunately. Makes me really sad. I just keep having to remind myself that they are an increasingly vocal minority and that the majority of us are nothing like that. Can we keep politics out of the discussion please? I'm not a fan of the current situation either. But still
See. We Police ourselves just like the players on the field!

But don't you think that he swings down on the ball?? To me it look as though his upper body moves forward while his lower body is static. There is nothing left to drive the ball. I've never liked his swing. Something about it looks goofy to me. Like you said, I think it's his lower half that looks off to me, like he's not getting his legs and hips into his swing and it's taking away his ability to really drive the ball with authority. His swing looks all arms to me. But I felt that way last year too and he hit 21 home runs, so I don't know what's going on this year. It's an ugly swing though. Watch from the side angle in slow motion. I just hope he doesnt go down the same path as Edgar Rentaria or Andrelton Simmons. Young promising shortstops that never lived up to what many thought could be Career All Star players.

I haven't seen a shortstop field a ball that lackadaisically in a long time. The defense has just been abysmal all homestand. How does that happen late in the game? I have been saying that on his relay throws as well! I feel like he just doesnt hold himself accountable, like he just wants to be along for the ride!

They might regret not scoring any runs in April while they had great pitching overall.

How was The Catcher not thrown out? This is ridiculous! He was using the most discusting language and screaming and might have even touched the UMP.

Why is Benintendi starting in CF over Betts? There is simply no data, objective or subjective, that indicates he is anywhere close to Betts. JF's line of thinking is probably that Mookie hasn't played outside of RF in a couple years, and he's elite in RF, so keep him there. And to a lesser degree, Benintendi in RF is a non-starter since he's never appeared that, and Chris Young is far better suited for LF than RF. RF defense at Fenway is really important, but you'd have to think JF would be doing this same thing at Yankee Stadium, in which case I'd get pretty annoyed. Maybe because Benintendi can possibly be the CF if Jackie Bradley doesnt get his Junk together! Can Tavarez play CF?
