This week Mario Scalise was unable to attend the show, so Jason Gage flies solo. Listen in to see if he crashes and burns in his attempt at any semblance of a show or if things actually go well.

 

Jason discusses Brian Anderson, some potential pickups the Sox could make (if they looked outside the organization) and the bullpen (yet again). Find out why Politte should be replaced with Brandon McCarthy and what Ozzie needs to do for Bmac to work in the pen.

Hopefully you guys like it. I suck ass at solo shows, and my plan was to have a guest host this week but that fell through so I figured I'd roll out a relatively quick show. My technical abilities are still pretty limited so hopefully it sounds alright (plus I was all by my lonesome and its hard to talk that long :lol: )

The Sox are going to be there in the long run, but that’s a good point about the Sox not really losing games. It does seem like we’re beating ourselves, because there’s been a lot of blown opportunities of late by bad fundamentals/execution. They just need to get back to that. It is scary to think a team playing .635 ball can get any better.

 

I disagree about sending BA down at the moment. He deserves until the end of the month/all-star break. His defense is just so damn good, and because of that, he helps us a lot more than he hurts us. He’s an undeserved scapegoat at the moment.

 

I think it will be tough for BA to get better at the dish with this current platoon system, but hopefully he can find a way. The Sox are worse off with Mack, Pods, Ozuna, or Gload in CF. And I’m not exactly enamored with any of the outside options either.

 

I think the bullpen is our biggest problem. I don’t have much confidence at all in Cliff this year. It’ll be a bit more until I trust Jeff Nelson out there. And my other beef with the bullpen is just the management of it. Ozzie’s over-managing a bit too much IMO. It just doesn’t seem like Ozzie’s really done much as fixing roles for the pen as of yet. Hopefully that happens soon.

 

And I agree about BMac. He’s never going to get better, if you don’t use him more. He’ll never find a rhythm with the current role he’s been given. It does seem like the Sox are set on him being in the pen for the remainder of the season, so they should use him more like that’s the case.

 

And that preview of the Rangers series is freaky. :o That’s almost word for word what I have for my series preview of the weekend series.

 

Not bad at all for flying solo. Looking forward to the next week’s show, when the Sox are back in first place. :cheers
