poppysox Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Francona would still be leading this game 5-3. He gets annoying because of his fast hooks but he just refuses to lose without putting up a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a certain point you can't leave him out there to get guillotined, rebuild year or not. Rick has to be accountable to his team and there's no shame in trying to build off a decent 5/1/3 performance on the road with a young scuffling starter.

Giolito was interviewed during this very broadcast by Benetti and said he worked on changing his delivery all offseason. And this is what he was crediting his success this year to most of all. I wonder why he changed his story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have next to nothing right now in terms of disposable assets. If they can't find a closer and a decent DH they don't deserve to win anything anyways. Seriously Jose and Colome should EASILY be replaced when money is being spent again. Assuming it ever is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Lopez needs to work faster...get the sign and throw the ball. I've always thought guys like him think themselves into a funk. At least when you work fast the defense isn't falling asleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colome even moreso now that he is lights out and has even better trade value than expected. It would be nice if Abreu gets hot and ups his value a bit but you can always bring him back in the offseason if you want to.

The interviewer asked him what percentage was physical/mechanical changes and what percentage was mental. He replied the difference from last year was 90+ percent mental. I thought you said in the other interview he said the primary difference was physical with the delivery change.

Okay, I guess they were different then. In Benetti’s interview, he mostly talked about working extremely hard all offseason to change/revamp his delivery and this was the main reason for his success this year.

We know what we have with Breu and Colome and the success they have had Colome has one more year left so you can make that argument for him only. I would argue that one year isn’t very long and he’s worth trading for a good return. However, Abreu is a free agent. You may as well trade him. You can always resign him in the offseason if you want him back. Unless you are legitimately thinking the Sox still have a chance THIS year?!?

This loss shouldn't change much but this is a tough schedule in June. I dont forsee a good record at the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had it your way Jermaine Dye would be patrolling RF still and Garland would be pitching in the game tonight. Pay more attention to the front of the jersey than the back. Colome just got here. No reason to be attatched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
