Overflow Topic: Red Sox @ Orioles 8/2/09
So not the best start for Buchholz, to say the least. But the O has had his back. No coughing up another 7-run lead now, y'hea'?

Another nice one, Fuchholz
Pretty sad when still can’t register a win even though your team gives you 14 runs!
That God for the O’s pitchers, who are even worse.
Ha!
I didn’t realize he hadn’t gone the minimum…

Geez, Baldelli got a bad jump but still made the play

When Manifest and Raymond Fuentes are ready in about 4-5 years, don’t they play CF too?

4 center fielders at once, possibly.
I’m trying to stay conscience here.
@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday
Ells in Left?
Manifest in Right?
Fuentes in Center?
But I’d like more power out of the Outfield. I don’t think all three will ever be in Boston’s OF.
And of Course we can’t forget Reddick…

Fuentes in Left, since he has a weak arm, IIRC. Let Ells and Boras walk.

For those who cannot see, for lack of TV stream
John Smoltz placed a bubblegum bubble on George Kottaras’ cap. It remained there for about 2 minutes while he sat in the dugout talking to Reddick and I think maybe Nick Green?

@bs_uf15bosox9be The Original Gameday
Starting pitching? Yes.
We’ve got only 2 guys that can be reliably depended upon. That’s not good.
Relief? Eh. They had a lot of outs to get and were stretched more than usual. It’ll happen.
I feel like I'd be more comfortable letting Clay work through things at the ML level if we had competent rest of the staff.
Penny and Smoltz ain’t that. If we had Wake and last year’s Dice-K working their stuff, I wouldn’t feel so bad about one game through the rotation being a struggling young potential ace.

I will admit to too much negative
but I am far from the only one here on that. For two summers, have promoted young guys like Ellsbury, Lowrie, Pedirioa, Youk, Beckett, Lester, Paps and more year. For my pro—Ells stance, i got was shit from the negative people here – lots of ‘em, of none of them who proved to be right – but nobody with the guts to say so. Ellsury has proved he’s a star who can help us for many years.
From now on I’ll try to be more positive.
For instance, for having no 3-4-5 pitchers, prolong batting slumps by big-name sluggers like Oritz, Drew and Bay, lapses here and there by our closer, etc….we’ve done pretty damn good. If a third starting pitcher steps up, big-time, and our hitters just be who they are we’ll be a tough team to beat in the playoffs, which I have confidence we can make. Whoever we have, we’ll be up there contending and have the most devoted, passionate fans in the game……so lets not be afraid to vent, but remember we are on the same side. We just don’t have the same way of looking at things is all….but we ALL agree on: “Go Sox”
Amen?

Most of the negativity
comes from the “Stat Crazies” who somehow believe that success in fantasy baseball and total faith in Moneyball translates into understanding sports and baseball.
Some don’t like Ells bc he does not have the OBP that a top lead off hitter has or that he does not take enough pitches, but then simply overlook this young kid’s talent.
I’m with you on the Sox, I cheer for whomever is wearing the uniform. Lugo, Dice-K, V-Mart, and I have faith in Theo and his overall plan.
My only self confessed smudge on my resume is Buchholz, mainly bc of the man crush that keeps people lost in a psuedo drug high and fails to recognize that currently his trade value far out weighs is talent.
V-Mart is an excellent player, a quality person and a team leader who will thrive in the Sox organization as other vets like Jason Bay.
comes from the "Stat Crazies" who somehow believe that success in fantasy baseball and total faith in Moneyball translates into understanding sports and baseball.
AKA the people who like to use the same methods as GMs to determine player value.
Oh boy
