Forum Post: Iglesias/Drew
Drew has a bad back and is slumping. What I'd like to see is Drew suggest Iglesias play short while Drew fills in at third until Middlebrooks returns. I think Drew would have to suggest this himself s more »

Forum Post: John Lackey Deserves Some Respect
In response to moonslav59's comment: In response to stapleton's comment: There really was no reason for fans to show Lackey any disrespect since he's been here. He pitched lousy -- but he wasn't a more »

Forum Post: From big basher to big booster on Lackey
I don't think he was ever really healthy here. His last year his elbow was hanging by a thread. People who are in pain tend to be grouchy. Even more so when they are the kind of person who will not bl more »

Forum Post: Farrell pulling a Francona again?
Look, unless a pitcher is flat out getting destroyed you want to do everything possible to get at least five inning out of him. This is even more true when you have a good lead. It's not about getting more »

Forum Post: no HANNY, NO BAILEY, who BAILS out our HANNYs from the FOXES now?
In response to trantor's comment: Old Pittsburgh newspaper articles plus Hanrahan's own quotes collaborated on the fact that he got hamstring injuries every April in recent years. True, but was he a more »

Forum Post: no HANNY, NO BAILEY, who BAILS out our HANNYs from the FOXES now?
This business with Hanrahan is odd. It seems to me he's simply getting killed every time he takes the field, and the Sox are trying to nurse him along before he loses all confidence (if he hasn't alre more »

Forum Post: Until He Shows He Can Get Guys Out, Hanrahan Should Not Pitch in Any Close Games
A reliever not only shouldn't walk people, a reliever should just throw strike, after strike, after strike.

Forum Post: A Realistic View at 2013: Part II
Moon, What's your perception of Doubront: All over the place, just plain wild with bad mechanics? A Dice-K like nibbler who doesn't trust his stuff, and won't challenge hitters? I see him just missin more »

Forum Post: Bard sent back to AA
No doubt his problems began in 2011. The idea moving him to starting is the problem is just wrong. He needs to pitch almost every day to see if he can get it together. At this point it's safe to say h more »

Forum Post: Give it up for Lackey! HUGE comeback performance!
If he stays healthy, and based on the success of modern elbow surgery there is reason to think he will, Lackey is going to be huge. He is already hitting 94-95 and throwing far more strikes than balls more »

Forum Post: Welcome Back Daniel Bard
8 balls, 1 strike. Ugly.

Forum Post: Red Sox management: Lies, Lies, and more lies!
They were clear from day one the job was Drew's and that Drew would start once he was healthy. No wavering on that at all. Maybe a bad call, but not a lie.

To his credit he didn't walk a batter.

Forum Post: Welcome Back Daniel Bard
Nice to see. Not crazy about 18 pitches, but he can build on this.

Forum Post: 20 days for Papi
What are the odds he'll go the rest of the year and not pick up another day on the DL?
If he doesn't go back on the DL at some point, that would be great. If he does, then the money is saved.

Very odd. The moment I sent the post above this one, everything sorted itself out and is back to normal.

Forum Post: Report problems on the Talk to BDC forum
The forum format looks completely different. I'm noticing I have supposedly "chosen to ignore" posts from around a dozen people. And my screen name was someone elses for awhile.

Forum Post: A Realistic View at 2013: Part II
Thing about Doubrant is he's not exactly wild. He nibbles too much, and his youth and sullen attitude towards questionable calls work against him getting close calls. He'd do better with a robot umpir more »

Forum Post: Farrell off tonight
My first thought on seeing Aceves back out there in the sixth was: WHAT? Thinking it over I can see it now. I'd bet Farrell would have been pleased with one more inning even if Aceves gave up two runs more »

Forum Post: Farrell off tonight
Very questionable move. It was 5-0, he was trying to squeeze one more inning out of Aceves. I'm sure he saw the same Aceves we all did. The bullpen was worked hard last night, so I can only assume he more »

Forum Post: The Curse of Jonathan Papelbon Continues
In response to southpaw777's comment: A lot of times when the wheels start coming off for a closer, he totally loses it. Bailey kept his composure, didnt allow them to take the lead, and limited the more »
Drew has been fine. I don't think there is any debate Iglesias has better range. This is compounded by Drew having a bad back. I've not been critical of Drew. It's only the window while Middlebrooks more »
