Out of the frying pan, into the fire - BOS in town for a 4 game weekend set 4/29 - 5/2

[DT LUNA]

Joey is letting his hitting problems get to him. Really can't say I blame him but getting thrown out of the game won't help. Cost Woody too.

But was he right???

Everybody seems to be bitching about the umpires why shouldn't the players too...

I'm gonna have to walk back some of my criticism of him.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

1-2 needs to be IKF/Calhoun and 3/4 needs to be Lowe/Solak. I know Woody loves moving people around for some reason, so he can alternate those spots with those guys as much as he needs to. Gallo hitting higher than 5th is just pointless to me going forward.

It's OK if getting thrown out will help but of all people he does not need that. Point was the pressure is getting to him.

Also let's give Folty credit for another solid start. Might be able to get something for him as well.

That was our first hit in 8 at bats with a runner in scoring position.

 

[DT LUNA]

WIN!!!!!!

Holy shit, what a finish. 3 of 4 from the Sox is incredible

Sometimes you have to get your point across no matter how bad it pisses off the umpires, especially if you are right...

You know maybe if he stopped working so hard per Woody comments and look for his pitches even if a tad out of his zone, he might make more hard contact.
Seems like a constant fix it attitude gets you a high OBP but low OPS.
The manager placates and cheerleads too much IMO

But yes he may nave been right but his approach has been overtweaked

Guess the fire proved better than the frying pan

Even tho I haven’t gotten to see it due to cable issues. I’d say this first month has actually been pretty good and entertaining for a team that’s rebuilding.

it’s nice that odor isn’t here to add to our huge strikeout totals.

Some of the called strikes may be due to the lack of respect akin to Yu not getting called strikes his first year in the league

That shows why we need to take the human element out of it as much as possible.
