Lester

Gave up back to back doubles (although the first one wasn’t really his fault), two singles, and a stolen base. Yes, the bats have been sucking, but the bats didn’t give up those four baserunners.

Ok, fair enough

Lester had a bad inning. But he surrendered just 2 runs out of that, it could have gone a lot worse.

One thing that's been different this series

is Ellsbury’s inability to get on base. His speed’s been leading to a lot of our runs, but he hasn’t been on this series. (Not that anyone else really has been)

Rough luck there, 2 line outs to the motherfucking pitcher. When we get on base, we’re not being lucky

Who knows?

Catchers always get banged up over the course of the season. More likely, Tek is just getting old and his bat is slowing down.

His OBP for the season is .315, his lowest since 1998

And guys seem to be stealing more bases against him (28-8, okay, but Eric Hinske stole 3rd just the other day, so the numbers don’t really tell the full story). This might be the last season we’ll get some production out of Tek, and this is just scary.

We was looking good up until last week I guess. So that’s why I wondered if he was injured.

Neither do I

But a lot of Lugo haters use his somewhat small RBI amount as a point on how bad he supposedly is. Of couse, they don’t remember that he usually bats 9th.

My problem with Lugo is that he is a bad fielder that sometimes make a somewhat great play. I guess that he could be a captain for the Yankees, then…

Mikey, Youk and Tek

Don’t hit a double, please. BOMB ONE so the next guy does not have the chance to blow in.

We really, really need to win it now, or we’ll see Cora batting one more time.

Player of the game

So, now the game's over

GREAT work for the ‘pen today (except Paps). Really good.

I don't care about blown saves as long as we win

And, Tampa lost.

I don't care about blown saves either

But Paps not getting that 3rd out in the 9th made us use a lot of bullpen guys.

Who didn’t pitch today? I can only remember of Aar and Smith, but both pitched a lot in these last 2 days.

Haha, I hope

If anybody in the league could throw a Perfect Game with 27 K’s, this guy is Beckett. :)

Hitting when it counts

There are certain hitting stats that are more important than others for a truly good team. Hitting with men in scoring position and hitting in clutch situations are what counts. The Sox have too many weak clutch hitter, IMO.

I rank our usual starting hitters as follows:

Best-Lowell, hands down the best then

Ortiz, then

Tied:
Youk
Manny, then

Tied:
Ellsbury
Pedroia, then

Drew-a bit unpredictable

Not worth crap:
Veritek
Lugo
Crisp

How are you ranking them?

Are you just going by observation, or did you look at some of the RISP / clutch stats?

Using the wonderful site Baseball-reference.com, I checked some of these stats. Your bottom three are all struggling with RISP and clutch stats, hitting well below .300 in such situations. Tek at least has a .323 OBP with RISP.

Lugo has so far shined only in low leverage situations, batting .347 / .420 / .418 in them. He’s batting .179 and slugging .193 with RISP, with a .329 OBP. The only good thing we can say about Lugo is that his OBP stays above .300 in most important situations, allowing other hitters to try to drive in the runners.

Why do you have Lowell at the top?

There's just no stat

Really, there’s no stat that tells Lowell is our best hitter. Our best hitter is Manny. Papi is right behind him, and the third best is… JD Drew (career EqA of .304, in fact higher than Papi’s).

Tek is our CATCHER. And he’s old. He’s not supposed to be a great hitter. If we’re going to replace him, it’s not because he’s a bad hitter or shit like that, but because he’s old.

I agree...

...that ‘Tek shouldn’t be replaced, but he’s definitely in that inning-ending trio with Lugo and Crisp. Ironically, Lugo has the best OBP (60ish points), but does the least for the team on the field. Varitek is irreplaceable for his effect on the staff, and Crisp is a + defender (his misplaying yesterday’s RBI nonwithstanding). Lugo’s bat is acceptable, but he’s a 16 error short-stop thusfar – which is not acceptable for any club who wants to preserve its pitching. Oh, and win games...

The upside is that in the ordinary course, they wouldn’t all be everyday guys. Here’s hoping for a reasonable-value trade of Crisp at the deadline, then…

Rock me, sexy Jesus...

About Lugo

He’s a really, really bad fielder. Even the unbelievable number of errors he has don’t tell the full story on how bad he really is at defense.

However, his bat is good, and I don’t see any other options that would be better than him and available right now. Maybe he’ll get his shit together, and be a better fielder.
