OT: 2016 Red Sox/MLB Regular Season V - "And down the stretch they come!"

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Well at least Clay won't get the loss.

 

[Johnnyduke]

To think there were actually people who were buying buchholz again

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Did... Brock Holt try to steal home?

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I know earlier in the year they had a ridiculous success rate on SB's (don't now what it is know)....but despite that they seem to make a lot of dumb mistakes on the bases. Why try that when JBJ has looked good at the plate today?

 

[Johnnyduke]

Goes on farrell. One guy, you can blame it on the player. Team wide base running blunders falls on the manager.

 

[Ice Nine]

Man, Farrell.... so many mistakes.

And Clay?

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

hahahaha

 

[Johnnyduke]

Bullpen...do. Your. Job.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Checking out the BJ's thread, they seem to hate their manager, too!

 

[Fenway]

Joaquín Benoit waited 3 years for his revenge moment.

 

[Pia8988]

Over/Under on 8.5 total pitchers for Boston today.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Bringing in Ziegler in the 6th to face their best hitters?...this actually...makes sense.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Holt made Bautista look like a chump.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Looking real good here kimbrel

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Nice job by Kimbrel.

What a win

Ramirez is a beast when he wants to

Hated the signing but he's 1970 circa Tony Perez

 

[Johnnyduke]

Didn't expect them to win today, very nice win

 

[Fenway]

Magic number is

​Red Sox acquire- Jose Fernandez

Marlins acquire- 3B Rafael Devers, 1B Sam Travis, P Michael Kopech, P Brian Johnson

I guess but Sam Travis is that under the radar guy you look up in 4 years and he's the AL All Star starting first baseman

Btw I don't see that deal without Moncada instead of Devers

Would you deal Betts for Stanton

 

[24giovanni]

No, Stanton is always injured. Big guy like that reminds me of Gronk when it comes to injuries. The rotation would be damn right scary though.

I'll pay for the plane tickets personally and I love Kopech and Devers as prospects

 

[DKH]

If I'm the Marlins I ask for Moncada Travis Dalbec and Kopech

Carlos Febles his manager in AA said this week Moncada even in his 7 whiffs in a row when he said it, he projects as a .330 20-25 homer guy

DD should not give up Moncada no matter what

Fernandez already had on trip got TJ surgery and as we see with the brilliant Sony Gray in 2014-15 he's now had pretty serious shoulder/arm injuries

If they'd take a great package of Devers Kopech Swihart and Johnson yes but I would pull back Travis and substitute Swihart who I like a lot as well but he's at deeper positions

 

[24giovanni]

Gray is small in stature where as Fernandez is 6-3 244.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Nice job by Kimbrel.

Three run lead in 9th, on a 3-2 pitch to the first guy up he throws a ball the catcher can't even get his glove on. A wild, wild pitch. Great command.

Got the job done but I have little confidence in Kimbrel.
