caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 We scored off O'Day and the Red Sox Japanese reliever who'd just gone 9 consecutive scoreless outings before last night. Hope is far from lost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 4, 2016 -> 08:07 PM) Of course. Ventura has been more in "win the game" mode and less about development this year. That said, Putnam and Petricka are our two weakest relievers and the whole "you can't use your best 3-4 bullpen guys in a game you're behind by just one run, even at home..." rule is going to get a firm test this inning. Especially against Papi. Does Ventura use Jennings or Duke? Probably Jennings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Eh f*** it at least everyone else in the divison lost/is losing today with the exception of Cleveland. We score late though so keep em at 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Benetti sucks. I actually enjoyed listening to Hawk's uber emotional, often angry broadcasts for the two decades that I've watched Sox baseball. Benetti's discussion of DRS and other advanced stats that I can just as easily read about is boring to me. I just find myself tuning out all of the noise. Also, Rodon seems very average thus far. Not exciting at all. I'm stoked to see the Sox in Arlington next week, but I hope that my calculation that he's on the mound is wrong. Especially with Danks gone.

caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ventura pushing ALL the wrong buttons this inning. Guess it was due to happen soon or later. He left Rodon in too long against BALT, arguably. Not sure I wouldn't have used Albers there, but hindsight is always 20/20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ May 4, 2016 -> 08:14 PM) The mods/admins have been receiving a lot of complaints about the reactionary, doom and gloom posters who typically inhabit this game thread. You guys who know who you are. We understand its emotional and you're posting your immediate reactions, but you guys are driving a lot of good posters out. Please save the "this player sucks" or "f***" or "there goes the lead" or "a little girl could shutout our offense" as much as you can. Let's try to get intelligent conversation in here again. Oops. Please change my last comment to, "In my personal estimation, the broadcasting ability of Jason Benetti is below average. Listening to him makes me feel an urge to fold laundry."
