Sweep the Rays on the road and then look to give it right back against the Tigers at home. So annoying.

What, the fact that he hasn’t helped the pitching staff a smidgeon because they aren’t executing? Like I said all along- it does not matter who is back there when they are pitching the way they are
And Nah I’ve been pretty consistent with that. I’m more and more right by the inning
Thank god he’s back though! The one missing variable, right???!? Lolololololol
Yup, it’s too volatile of a position to project out too far. They Got 16 wins out of pomeranz that one year. That alone makes this deal well well worth it (in hindsight)
Jay Groome is an example in our own system
Lol talk about nit-picking. Don’t know if you watched the game yesterday but the tigers hit piss missiles off Sale. He also caught Sale last time when he got teed off on as well.
It’s a damn shame his catcher super powers only work for starting pitchers (and by work I mean “work”). Congrats, the staff era is not 9 anymore I guess? It’s almost like water is finding its level. They’re still getting pounded pretty hard...
(Do you know how dumb that argument sounds? “Well the starters have been better”.....HIS ERA CATCHING IS 7.50. Part of that is from starters throwing to him believe it or not. Does his talent go away when they exit? Receiving ability deteriorates when Brewer enters the game? It’s so dumb I’m not gonna dignify it any further)
I’m not convinced he’s a better player than Centeno or Oscar Hernandez (ok he’s better than Oscar but still)
Didn't get a chance to watch it, but he only allowed 5 hits, 2 earned runs and had 10 SOs in 5 innings, BY FAR his best outing of the year.......so I'm going to not worry about some "piss missiles" whatever the hell that is.
I'll ignore the rest of the sarcastic, tired drivel that completely ignores the differences in how individual catchers call games and go back to enjoying last night's win. Have a nice day.
Five of the first seven balls hit off of him Were over 102 mph. He was getting tattooed by a terrible lineup
He also had major difficulty putting anybody away, 19 foul balls with two strikes. It’s why he could go only five
You might be OK with that from your ace against a AAA lineup but I’m not. And whoever is catching makes zero bit of difference when the pitchers aren’t executing. The numbers Prove that more and more by the day.
None of what I said was sarcastic by the way. The lack of Sandy Leon had zero impact on this team. As a matter of fact not having him looks to be a plus...because he’s a worse hitter than Jon Lester these days (fact not opinion) and the pitching hasn’t gotten any better

Only 25 runs in 33 innings or whatever it is after a 4.50 start from porcello! His catchers ERA is more than a run and a half more than heath hembree’s ERA! Damn my point really got destroyed!
He pitched average against a lineup with Gordon Beckham starting at SS in the middle of the order and Niko Goodrum in the cleanup hole! Talk about stepping in it CDJ, wow!!! It was a perfectly mediocre outing against a brutal lineup after a terrible start to the outing. You really gloated about that. Incredible
You were wrong when you suggested he was the only variable that changed. He doesn’t impact this team all that much at all and there was much more at play than a lack of Sandy Leon. It is what it is
Only thing the Sandy call up has done is make Vazquez play better. Sale still doesn’t look good. Porcello still doesn’t look good. It’s because they weren’t ready for the season. Has nothing to do with who is catching
Sandy got a hit though so maybe one day if he reaches his max potential he can display the prowess shown by Jon Lester at the dish
I’ll give it a rest at this point, I’ve said everything I could possibly say. But just know this (and this isn’t necessarily at you seidenbergy, this is the others who argued it)- who is catching does not matter if the pitcher has any amount of intestinal fortitude. Maddux hated throwing to Javy Lopez, never stopped him from painting corners. They may have preferences- sure- but at the end of the day they can make the decision on what pitch to throw and where and it is their job alone to execute. They’ve been grooving pitches all year with or without Sandy

Josh Smith starting tonight
Pretty standard AAAA guy. Only reason it isn’t Shawaryn is that I imagine they don’t want to burn an option on him if the game only goes 2 innings and gets rained out

@Fenway do you think The redsox are done with Lowell after this season regardless of what McCoy is used for next

Jarren Duran in Salem is batting over .400. He’s been raking ever since he was drafted. Kid keeps this up he should be a top 100 prospect by seasons end.
I’ve seen people throw a 70/75 grade on his speed too. If he can become a more efficient base stealer he’s going to be a problem at the top of the lineup down the road
