our singles hitting team couldn't string together enough hits...it now takes three singles to score a run...leading the league in batting average means nothing...it's all about scoring runs...

I write fictional stories in my spare time. So don't fact check me. Better?
I still like the big bat in the middle of the lineup. Now I understand that someone is going to post all of the players with all of their homer totals from last year. I get that we can hit. I still hope that not really replacing that big bat in the middle does not come back to haunt us. If our pitching staff was healthy top to bottom, maybe we would be ok. it isn't. old school 3 run homers work for me.Originally Posted by Nick
I think we're getting what we expected with this team - a bunch of good hitters without David Ortiz in the lineup. The theory was that we'd make up for losing Ortiz with better pitching and better defense. Last night two things happened: The defense let us (and Porcillo) down and the Jays pitching staff came up big.
The Sox are still .600 and one game out of 1st in spite of having been decimated by injuries, sickness, and bereavement & paternity leaves.
Last night was only one game. It's early to panic yet. Let's wait until July to do that.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

The defense let us down. Porcello throws sinkers when right and gets grounds balls. Not only did we get consecutive errors, the two hits that got through may have been range issues for two of our infielders. We are what we are in the infield but Pablo now has his 3rd error in 12 games and this one on a routine play. He better get it together as we can't afford weak defense with this team.I think we're getting what we expected with this team - a bunch of good hitters without David Ortiz in the lineup.

Although Pedey is not a HR hitter, I'd like to see him moved down to 5th. This is the line-up I'd like to see someday soon:
1) Beni
2) Bogey
3) Betts
4) HRam
5) Pedey
6) JBJ v R/Young v L
7) Moreland v R/JBJ v L
8) Pablo v R/ Rutledge v L
9) Leon/Vaz
Well... one thing I'm sure of is that if a team doesn't score they won't win. Whether that's attributable to poor hitting or outstanding pitching is an age-old debate.
It's had to blame the loss on Porcillo when his pitching line is 7 ip, 6 hits, 3 runs, 0 ER, etc...
IMO we have to chalk this one up to "It's just one of those things....".

Don't panic until Memorial Day. It hasn't even been 3 weeks yet.I think we're getting what we expected with this team - a bunch of good hitters without David Ortiz in the lineup.

Once the weather warms up, the bombings will commence. Dingers love the warm weather.
Pomeranz = not bad last night
Wright to have season ending knee surgery.
Thanks, Farrell!
Damn it!
We have to hope that Price can get back into the rotation soon. Right now we have to find another starting arm. Looks like Kyle Kendrick will be the first man up. Who knows after that?

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Hector Velazquez has been pitching really well for Pawtucket.
If Sale is suspended, the rotation will be:
Porcello
Pomerance
ERod
Kendrick
Velazquez
