OT: 2016 Red Sox/MLB Regular Season III

[Johnnyduke]

Maybe i missed your point but in this situation, we shouldn't be selling.

Yeah, I'm with you and TTH

unless there is some point I'm missing....I don't think it went over TTH's head at all. Mike, Are you trying to draw parallels between the Yankees situation and the Red Sox and are you implying they should sell? That's what it seems like.

 

[Johnnyduke]

And btw, i think real fans in boston DO understand when it's necessary to sell. Last season for ortiz and you're in the mix...you go for it (within reason).

**** it's the Bruins forum guys. The. Bruins. Forum.

Where we discuss the Bruins primarily.

The. Bru. Ins.

Lol at hanigan, what a clown

 

[Johnnyduke]

I hate ryan hanigan. Ya he ultimately made that play but no need for him on this team

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I see, I too have a fresh buzz cut


Forgot they existed tbh, they haven't done anything too dumb in a little bit


That bottom of the 1st will be the most bizarre half inning played this year btw

Skaggs looks legit. He's got better stuff than a lot of guys. Wow is he impressive

i felt awful for him, he made it up to the bigs at such a young age and then ran into some shoulder and elbow issues

He was absolutely dominant in his rehab and was dominant in his first start back. I guess he feels like he has some making up to do. He's taking it out on the sox now.

For those of us away from the TV, what did he say?

Everything is awesome; )

Aaron hill has certainly struggled since coming over

In it for long term not this year

He was comparing what DD face in Detroit compared to Boston. Detroit has on owner who is 87 years old and wants to win now because he never has as Tigers owner.

Only pressure on Sox now is to be competitive.

Thanks DKH and Fenway.

I guess dave o'brien missed the memo that managers can't argue balls and strikes

 

[Mione134]

And thus why both should not be traded. Benny should be called up and play left. Huge upgrade over everyone else we have floundering in there.

 

[Johnnyduke]

To me, nesn k zone is all out of whack.

In fairness to Cherington, the market is night and day. Cherington did well to get Rodriguez from Baltimore. Top of the rotation starters and top relievers are fetching more now than they did 2 seasons ago. The Yankees are simply taking advantage of the sellers market that wasn't there when the Sox were sellers 2 seasons ago.

Don't see it that way. Dramatic overpays have always happened and it's a "sellers market" basically every deadline. Pretty logic considering that only like 7 teams are definitely out of the playoff hunt at the mid point of the season. (that's why I would embrace moving the deadline back a couple of weeks to mid august).

Cherington was about to botch all 3 major trades. Dombrowski admitted himself that they were close to an agreement for a much lesser package than what Baltimore coughed up at the last minute. Congrats for holding out, but that deadline could and frankly should have gone much, much better.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Guess it isn't too late to sell!!!

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

Seriously?



That whole "we don't have a better option as a 6th starter" reasoning I heard earlier is such bs. Relying on Buchholz to get you through a spot start is no different from relying on any AAA pitcher at this point. Either way, you're just praying for the best and hoping your bullpen can take over in like the 5th inning with the game within reach. We don't need Buchholz.
