The entire state of Florida seems to have Boston teams by the balls at this point.1-10 against the Rays and Marlins. 1-6 at Fenway.

I don't disagree, but who do you want to see? Rafaela was just promoted to WOOstah and hasn't had a AAA AB.I think for me, the team as constructed now is just not it. I think watching the young guys compete gives me hope for the future.
I feel so much better knowing that. Thanks!The Red Sox have a better run differential than them even after getting outscored 18-3 in this series.
Tough to gage against this poor excuse for an offense, but their pitching looked pretty damn good. They look like a real baseball team.Then the standings should be re-ordered by run differential. There's no way of knowing if regression is likely. They could easily just keep getting better as the season goes along
No it didn't. So who would you have in there instead of Refsnyder?Didn't quite work out today. Whiffed badly three times.
Raffy number three, Ref down in the order.No it didn't. So who would you have in there instead of Refsnyder?
That's kind of what I was trying to say (poorly)I think the point is more that Rob Refsnyder batting 3rd is a damning indictment of the teams poor roster construction, not that he can’t hit left handed pitching.

Bello on the mound, but our defense is a freak show and our offense is never enough.
We'll probably lose.
I’ve never understood this. You hurt a minor leaguer’s development if you call him up to sit on the bench. If he starts, it should accelerate his development unless he’s so completely overmatched that it gets in his head.Yeah but… if they’re not ready you could be hurting their development.
Point is they're not as good as their record indicates and is not a team the Red Sox should be getting swept by at home. Teams with a similar RD as them are all hovering around .500.Then the standings should be re-ordered by run differential. There's no way of knowing if regression is likely.

Not true. They had a -21 going into the series.Cards had a good run differential when we faced them.
As the Marlins leave town, their RD is 0; the Red Sox are at +6 That's a minuscule difference and -- with the Marlins playing well and the Red Sox playing poorly, a sweep certainly was in the realm of possibility.Point is they're not as good as their record indicates and is not a team the Red Sox should be getting swept by at home. Teams with a similar RD as them are all hovering around .500.
If you believe that Miami, tied for the second-best record in the NL, is not "that good of a team," you're welcome to that opinion.Can't comprehend 2-13 at home vs NL teams. None of them even that good of a team.
I guess I don’t really know. I think it’s just because this team was built to go 81-81 and that’s boring to me. But I also understand that record also has you I. Wild Card striking distance on Sept 1. So it’s kind of a catch 22.I don't disagree, but who do you want to see? Rafaela was just promoted to WOOstah and hasn't had a AAA AB.
Uh yeah, that's some serious propaganda right there. I logged on to see the score and thought I misread an alert on my phone and thought maybe the Sox actually won 2-0, not the other way around.The headline on RedSox.com right now is "Bello stuns fish in finale," and I kept looking at the boxscore to see if I was reading it wrong. I was not reading it wrong.
We have wasted a lot of quality starts by this rotation.The headline on RedSox.com right now is "Bello stuns fish in finale," and I kept looking at the boxscore to see if I was reading it wrong. I was not reading it wrong.
It arrived. It landed. Let's not get overly technical here.Hindenburg flight a success despite mishap.
Sure. He stunned them. But then the fish just swam away.The headline on RedSox.com right now is "Bello stuns fish in finale," and I kept looking at the boxscore to see if I was reading it wrong. I was not reading it wrong.
