Game 90: Rangers (51-38) @ Red Sox (51-38)
Time to brush the dirt off from last night's atrocity.
The Injury Sox will send Felix Doubront to the mound for his third major league start, and hopefully his last for a while with Clay Buchholz on the mend.
The Rangers counter with Colby Lewis who's having himself a career year for Texas.
The Sox do get Adrian Beltre back, bringing the total number of regulars starting tonight up to five. Yay?

Why is Cabrera up?
Do we need a fresh arm, or is it because I can throw faster than Manuel?

Our pitching is fucking horrendous.
We’re gonna be like 10 back by the time we even have a chance to field a respectable team.
Doubront is not ready yet. Wake is garbage.
We need Beckett to go like 12-0 to even have a chance
Even then, not as worried. We were looking really bad early with that bad start, couldn’t get over .500, we got pretty far back and then got back within .5 games of first even with half the team on the disabled list. A couple more put us over the edge but they’re coming back and so will we. Theo isn’t selling though, we won’t know how good we are until after the deadline anyway.

If we dont fire our medical staff...
we’re gonna go nowhere…
Garbage reports regarding buchholz’ injury
Garbage reports regarding VMarts in jury
Garbage reports regarding Ells injury
long run that is.
players arent gonna wanna come here.
What they tell to the players and what they release to the press are totally different. Who cares what they report about VMart? If he can’t put a glove on, he can’t put a glove on, short of a shrink ray not a lot can be done, broken fingers are set and forget kinda injuries.

they need to just call it a season, anyone with a reasonable understanding of baseball would
get it, and not complain.

I'm starting to lean to us being sellers instead of buyers.
If we want to make a run at it we need serious bullpen help in a market that doesn’t seem to offer it, we are going to have to depend on getting really good performances from players as soon as they come back from injury and we need either the Yankees or Rays to have a meltdown.
It seems like a lot has to go right for us to even make the post season.
Even if we make it, who pitches the 6th or 7th?
Paps hasn’t been great either.

That's why I'm starting to think sellers instead of buyers, either that or don't make any moves at all and just see how next year plays out.
The market doesn’t seem to have any really strong relievers (we need at least two imo) and it seems like so far the trade sellers have been making out huge so I don’t see us being able to lowball anyone.
Also, Paps hasn’t been Paps and we would have to depend on unknowns how guys are going to play coming off the DL.
Who knows how well Beckett is going to do coming off such a long DL, also all the players returning might need some time to turn it back on and get hot, time isn’t something we have.
We are a much when they return, but are we a better team instantly or are they going to take time to get going again….because time isn’t something we have.
I’m hopeful, we can win, I want us to win, but it’s just a lot of unknowns, might be too many unknowns to gamble young talent away on.
good night

I don't think Theo is going to be aggressive on the buying front this year.
I have a feeling he is going to hope Bowden can help the Pen and we can make it into the post season when our regulars come back.
Than hope Beckett/Lester/Buch can carry us pitching wise giving us at least 7, Bard/Paps for 2 and our offense can put up big run support. Doesn’t seem like a realistic way to win.
Yeah, the market isn't great
The only thing we really need is bullpen help. Everyone else has been great except for Cam and Ells, so the only guy we can replace would be Cameron. There are gonna be FAs to be had and the options now aren’t good long term ones.

I think Soria and Downs are two of the best available.
Soria would cost a lot and Downs I can see as an option he is a type A free agent at the end of the season.

Wow, I just came to see the game score.

Cash it in
I think Kevin Cash is a waste of a roster spot. Is he really the best available? He might as well stay in the dugout and have the ump call him out instead of risking injury walking to and from the batter’s box.

It's basically like we are playing without a DH because Cash is out pitcher spot. Hell, I'd rather see our pitchers hit and us DH for Cash.
I think they liked Cash because they knew him and he worked with Wake before. He is just a band-aid until Vmart gets back.

We will get some guys soon and we’ll be ion a roll

I feel ya
Turning it off just seems to make it worse.
As bad as blowouts are, it’s the close games given up by the bullpen in the late innings that really get to me.
Funny, during the AS break I was remembering back to April and recalling thinking that if we were just within 5or so at the break, we’d be ok. Well, here we are. I just hope they can stay close long enough for the reinforcements to arrive. ;-)

When Papi and Youk got on, 2 on no outs I thought we might be able to get back in this.
Sadly, JD/Beltre/Nava couldn’t do anything with 2 on.
Same here...
I’m pretty sure something similar happened that last time that group was up too, which is why I mentioned it.
Can we please just DL Cameron until spring training?
He should be healed by then, but he might be competing with Kalish for a spot.

When we went into this series I said I’d be happy if we split it.
I know this is the last thing you guys need to hear
But I’m in shock that Bengie Molina hit for the cycle… I almost pissed myself watching his fatass on that triple. GIAMBI or POSADA would have had an inside-the-park-homer on that and I thought THEY were slow

Another blown game by management
This one falls totally on Sox management and their coddling of Buch who should have pitched this game.
Trade bait
I’m willing to bet that Felix pitched tonight to “showcase” him as trade bait. I guess that backfired! We needed Buch tonight.
by Fenway302 on Jul 17, 2010 1:36 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
None of us know if he could have pitched or not
but when the injury occurred, Buch said he felt like he would be able to make his next start. He was originally not supposed to miss a start, just have it moved back with the off days. I think he missed something like 4 starts. The injury management was in precaution, but it seems questionable and probably cost the sox multiple wins.
