Kuroda gets into and out of trouble  
NYerInMA : 4/12/2014 1:24 pm : link
Close one!
I know the options  
MookGiants : 4/12/2014 1:27 pm : link
are limited, but right now Girardi should never be writing out a lineup with Brian Roberts hitting 2nd. The guy can't even hit his weight and he's batting #2?
Ellsbury bunt "single"  
RasputinPrime : 4/12/2014 1:31 pm : link
and Beltran big fly.

2-0
McCann's gotta stop trying to pull the ball.  
yatqb : 4/12/2014 1:33 pm : link
He needs to go to the opposite field when they pitch him outside in order to defeat the shift. The short porch seems to be in his head and killing him.
Maybe I'm being a little tough on him  
illmatic : 4/12/2014 1:40 pm : link
but it looked like Roberts should've caught that single by Bogaerts. Then it gets followed by a homerun. Looks like the infield defense might've cost them yet another run.
SEEE YA  
RasputinPrime : 4/12/2014 2:18 pm : link
because he MCCANN CAN CAN!

3-2
Hopefully  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 2:18 pm : link
that home run gets McCann going.
wow

back to back jacks. way to go sori
Back to back!

Nice.
Sorry Lackey

BAM!

Back to Back jacks.

4-2
that ball  
MookGiants : 4/12/2014 2:29 pm : link
has to be caught and at the least held to a single, jesus
meh  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 2:29 pm : link
i thought that was a catchable ball.
that's it Flaherty  
RasputinPrime : 4/12/2014 2:30 pm : link
keep sucking Pedroia off.

Soriano has no business playing RF. A decent route at least cuts that off.
thank god shrek  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 2:31 pm : link
popped that up.
We're gonna see this all year.  
yatqb : 4/12/2014 2:32 pm : link
Old guys or poor defenders at multiple positions. Can't expect a big year this year with our defense.
nice job by kuroda

didn't let the defense rattle him.

Seriously, you can't just throw anyone out there and  
Shockeyisthebest80 : 4/12/2014 2:34 pm : link
expect professional caliber defense. Sori should never be in RF.
Soriano  
MookGiants : 4/12/2014 2:43 pm : link
can't play in the field, ugh
shits the bed in RF  
RasputinPrime : 4/12/2014 2:43 pm : link
again.

Joe - for the love of god - he isn't a rookie. He can't play that position.

No doubt, Phil. But then we have guys like Soriano getting occasional starts in RF, so there's that too!

Girardi

deserved that outcome bunting. He'll never learn
eh that pitch to beltran  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 3:45 pm : link
was tough because he was looking fastball but got thrown a change up.
Weird that they get Gardy and Ellsbury on and don't

double steal.
apparently Gardy can't steal bases anymore  
RasputinPrime : 4/12/2014 3:47 pm : link
but he sure can slide to first base!

I really really don't get him.
Lester News  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 3:47 pm : link
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, Jon Lester turned down a four-year, $70-$80 million extension offer.
The offer, which is well below Lester's expected market value, could cost the Red Sox a chance at re-signing their ace left-hander. Rosenthal reports that Lester has cut off negotiations until the offseason, and appears as if he'll test the waters of free agency.
That's almost a slap in the face...  
Dunedin81 : 4/12/2014 3:49 pm : link
considering what the going rate has been for starters. Lester hasn't always looked like an ace over the last couple years but he was good in the postseason and has a #1-#2 pedigree. Hometown discount is one thing, a slap in the face is another.
So much for him thinking like the hive collective  
Kulish29 : 4/12/2014 3:50 pm : link
and taking a lower dollar deal because he wants to stay a blue collar, small market Red Sock.
Lester is a good pitcher  
MookGiants : 4/12/2014 3:51 pm : link
but he'll be 31 on opening day next year and he's been a very good but never great pitcher imo. I think the team that signs him long term will regret it
Warren is a stud out of the BP  
Kulish29 : 4/12/2014 3:53 pm : link
I'd like to see him get a chance to close out a game or two with Robertson on the DL.
GREAT inning by Warren.  
Shockeyisthebest80 : 4/12/2014 3:53 pm : link
...
i think boston's offer to him is smart  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 3:54 pm : link
you never want to go longer then 4 years on a pitcher once they are past 30 years of age. it would be a mistake like the mistake we made with CC Sabathia. I hate to admit it, but the Red Sox are a lot smarter then the Yankees when it comes time to let a player go when he is going to be on the downside of his career.
yes  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 3:57 pm : link
kelly johnson!
Meh  
Dunedin81 : 4/12/2014 3:58 pm : link
They'd have dead years, but the idea that someone like Lester can be had easily in free agency or in the trade market for a price they'd be willing to pay is assuming a lot. Crappier pitchers have gotten more money for more years.
I really like Dean Anna  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 4:02 pm : link
good fielder and seems he can hit too.
didn't say lester can be easily had  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 4:03 pm : link
just that I think 4 years is good for the team. It is why it is so important to develop your own players.

Next year Lester is 32. He could very well decline fast for all we know like CC has.
how  
MookGiants : 4/12/2014 4:04 pm : link

MookGiants : 4/12/2014 4:06 pm : link
getting it wrong even with replay. That wasn't even debatable and they somehow got it wrong, I know it helped the Yankees but this shit happens all too often, when you have replay it should be right 99.9% of the time and in reality they dont even come close to that in football and now baseball
wonder how long  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 4:09 pm : link
they are going to struggle with roberts at second base? he doesn't seem like he can hit much at all anymore. I suppose his penchant to walk is what is saving him for now.
Lester is in his 7th full year though...  
Dunedin81 : 4/12/2014 4:14 pm : link
And has generally been healthy for all of those years. I see the point, but unless you're the Cardinals staying consistently competitive requires you to pay for some dead years.
i don't think the red sox will  
sinctybldh : 4/12/2014 4:16 pm : link
i don't recall the last time they have done something like that.

Lester is probably going back home to the Pacific Northwest the way the Mariners have thrown around money of late

I love watching ballgames with my kids but any sort of critical eye goes out the window. Charleston isn't coming to Greensboro this year, so if I do see anything it probably won't be solo.
Guess we know why Denney fell to the third round...

license was restricted for a DUI and he seems like he might have been intoxicated again. Plus they caught him twice in one night. Sounds like a winner.
