Problem is most of replacements not ready

Is anyone even warming up?

They were supposed to be the replacements

 

[WastinSomeTime]

I have to take back what I said a week ago. Getting Yu back is not enough. We still will need a 5th starter for weeks and it is not Nick or Chi Chi. I mean these guys were stinking it up at AAA even though Nick had 2 good starts.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Can we just outright release Nick? This is disgraceful. There are AA pitchers who would give up fewer than 5 runs in 3 innings. What a pathetic joke.

Sure don't think we bring Lohse up

 

[Bmurph]

This is why Hamels short outing yesterday is going to hurt even more

Jeff should have gone and yanked him already

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Now you talk to Nick? Banny, how about we try and keep this close. Or is this a throwaway game.

 

[Bmurph]

Sure don't think we bring Lohse up

Honestly I'm not sure he isn't worse at this stage but Nick and Cheech aint gonna get anything done but further wreck the BP

 

[Bmurph]

he just cant finish guys off

 

[Duane1952]

That what's happens when you can't pitch up here.

He was terrible in AAA too.

Thinking Roth and Conner ahead of him. But still a huge unknown

And frankly, our pen ain't been exactly "firemen" recently. But hey, ya gotta put someone else in.....matters not who.

Holaday is available.

What on earth is going on down in our farm system? It seems like every pitcher we bring up always falls behind the hitter 2-0, throws a meatball down the middle of the plate, and gets crushed.

You just answered your own question

Our pitchers in AAA stink for the most part.

You have to dive or slide away and touch with your hand. You actually give them more time to tag you because your leg kicks up sliding like that and does not hit the plate right away. Plus learn to make the turn on the bag while you are at it.

Maybe you should play for them. haha

It is time to find out about them.

Your right with everything you say.

But for me, the most important aspect of this is, "don't forget it's Boston" and that frigging tall yet short wall means the LF is really close.

I'd held him at 3rd. But it's easy for me to say it now, now isn't it? ha

Yep I doubt they'd do any worse.
