QUOTE (shysocks @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Robin should pull Shields now. Be wary of third time through the order and let him leave this one with some good vibes. He is just fine. Why burn up your bullpen early and make Shields look bad

It's so frustrating that we see so manyvl bloops fall in for a hit against us and a run follows

Garcia

If Shields still has it then this is the game we see it. If not Beck makes his season debut and has to such up innings. Purke too I suppose. I want to be positive about Shields and think because he is a great competitor he will have figured it out

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 23, 2016 -> 01:06 AM) Lawrie's cute flare cost them a possible DP Exactly. I rhink he had time to make the playoffs. Quintana is struggling to find the strike zone too

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 07:01 PM) I had heard nothing of Eduardo Rodriguez, googled him, and the first sponsored link included Curt Schilling insisting that Rodriguez is not tipping pitches. There was a story about him reverting to an old delivery as he has been struggling. Let's hope it doesn't work tonight

Here's hoping Jason Coats can get his first hit(s)

Frazier

It would be nice to leave Boston seeing James Shields and the Pale Hose a winner

Let's see Q dominate like Sale did

Two game win streak. That Robin Ventura is a genius

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 03:05 AM) How about their fans booing when he got up 3-0 in the count They like to see the Big Papi hit

Full counts on three straight hitters

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 02:25 AM) I do my fair share of b****ing and complaining but I like winning baseball a whole lot more. Winning is certainly more fun than losing

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 02:23 AM) He is doing much better than I thought. If he learns to walk once in a while, he looks like he could be really good. He looks like a special player who will be great as soon as he learns to be more patient at the plate

QUOTE (Insp @ Jun 22, 2016 -> 02:07 AM) Interesting how hardly anyone posts on a winning night. I am convinced that a number of the chronic complainers really don't understand the game of baseball other than the winner scores more runs than the other team. All they want to do is gripe and b****

Late comment but it was sure good to see Frazier hit that homer

Shuck showing some leather out there in CF

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) Hitting it to the right side isn't giving away an out, there's still a chance it goes for a hit, much better than the bunt anyway. Also using the 2005 offense as an example of good offense isn't necessarily a good idea, they were below-average and finished 9th in the AL in runs scored. That's just hypothetical

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) Why would it matter if other teams knew? Good question. If he is hurt put him on the DL when you know he is hurt

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 05:03 PM) When you have an offense that's struggling, you shouldn't be giving up outs and playing for 1 run all the time. It's one thing to do it when you only need 1 run to win in extras or in the 9th, but the Sox have had their #3 hitter bunt before in the 7th inning. If you don't let your best hitter swing the bat, then what's the point? You anti-bunt guys are kind of contradicting yourselves. Plus what is the difference when a ground ball for an out is cheered that moves a runner over to scoring position? You must be waiting for he five run homer or something? LOL

Lawrie

Hope Sale is dominant for the win

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 21, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) It's almost never the right decision. Giving away outs is stupid. No it's not. When you have an offense that's struggling you do things to spark a rally and get runners in scoring position. Many things positive for an offense can potentially happen with a well placed bunt

Not is agreement with trading Sale or Quintana. Look at the Dodgers and their record. Do they trade their best pitcher in Kershaw? I think not
