I hope the Smoltz experiment is over? The guy is washed up give the ball to one of the young guys.

I agree

enough is enough. It was a nice experiment, worth the money invested, but we can't afford the loses at this point. I'd rather take my chances with Bucholtz' fragile pysche.

Sox pitching coach says Smoltz gets another start.
This guy is getting hammered by the worst teams in baseball, what's going to happen when he faces the Iron, he will be lucky to get out of the first inning?
Between Smoltz and Dice-K out of 15 starts they have a combined record of 2+9.
Buchholz is 1+1 after two, looks like a no brainier to me, eat the contract and send him packing.

Bruins Fan · 07-28-2009, 09:39 AM

Dice-K should just man up he stunk out the house this year.
He is blaming the Sox because he got hammered every start? Well he came to spring training directly from the WBC, the Sox had nothing to do with his training or conditioning.
Of course he can't pitch like in Japan, Japanese baseball is not even as good as AAA in the USA.

Laroche was a short timer here....We used him in a relly good trade I believe...Thank God we gotr another quality catcher....Tek????? How much longer can he really go???? Not bashing him but good thin gs have to come to and at some point.

07-31-2009, 03:05 PM

I think we are pretty stacked now....NEED PITCHING!!!!!!!

VTDragon · 08-03-2009, 09:13 AM

Well the Sox finally won that marathon vs. the Orioles yesterday, 18-10 yikes. All throughout the game I couldn't help but think of the rain-delayed game earlier in the season when they blew that big lead. they looked like they were going to do it again, but finally the bats woke up. 5 for 5 for V. Martinez -nice!

Positive note: the new kid Josh Reddick looked very good, nice to see a home grown slugger.

Negative note: Clay Bucholtz - get the kid a shrink. He has the stuff physically, but he obviously still has some issues to work out.

That's why he was sent down last year. I gotta wonder if he's expecting to have a perfect game every time now and beating himself up when it doesn't happen. At this point, we only have one excellent pitcher. Lester has been touch and go, Penny has been off lately and Smoltz has been a joke. When is Wake back from the DL?

Bruins Fan · 08-03-2009, 10:42 AM

I can't understand Buchholz the kid tears it up in the minors and stinks out the ball park in the bigs?
What everyone thought was going to be the strength of the team is not looking good
Smoltz is washed up, Penny sux's, Dice-K he can go back to Japan for all I care, Wake is hurt.
The Sox should have gone after a pitcher, Theo loves broken down circus dogs.
A lot of big games coming up starting tonight.

Yeah, it is definitely a problem. I gotta admit, after the interview Matsuzaka gave to the Japanese paper where he attributed his struggles in the US to the conditioning program, which apparently was not suitable for Japanese physiology, I have no further respect or interest in him.

Yeah, this week might well be make or break for our chances at the division, two games at the Rays and four at the Yankees... With Wake still on the DL, now with sciatica, so probably out for another month. 2/5 starting pitchers able to win games just doesn't cut it.

The Poet · 08-08-2009, 10:16 AM

You guys may hate the final score, but you gotta admit (like John did) that that was one great game. Nobody left the stadium, and they rarely needed their seats. What a battle.

Yeah, was definitely a great game, though I would obviously have preferred a different result. Watched the first few innings, then went off to see a movie with my fiance. Got back and hopped online to check the score, only to see they are still scoreless in the twelfth. Watched the rest of the game.

Captain Crunch · 08-08-2009, 01:18 PM

**** A-Rod last night... we need Pedro Martinez back, so he can throw a fastball at his head. The curse is reversed!!!

floydpink · 08-21-2009, 07:07 PM

NY Yankees 11 Top 5th

Boston 1

Captain Crunch · 08-09-2009, 08:16 AM

As predicted... they threw at A-Rod last night. Come on Red Sox... lets get some runs for the pitching staff...

Bruins Fan · 08-09-2009, 08:55 AM

I think father time has caught up with the Sox,and management has done nothing to bolster the offense.
Not getting Teshera was a big blow.
Watching Tek, Lowell, and Ortiz is pathetic, Drew is a bust and Bay has done nothing after May.
they need to find someone off the waver wire and screw hurting feelings, if your not doing the job you can't complain.

Captain Crunch · 08-09-2009, 09:01 AM

I also think the Steroid accusations has really hurt the clubhouse...Bruins Fan, I agree age has def caught up with the Red Sox... the only good playes they have are Pedoria,Yukulis, & Ellsbury. Everyone else is a disgrace.

Bruins Fan · 08-09-2009, 09:17 AM

On top of that the injury's have taken there toll, a rejected Yankee farm hand playing ss, any warm body from AA ball in the outfield. and the shuttle form Pawtucket with pitchers that have never pitched in the majors thrown in key big game situations. Not good, not good at all.

Bruins Fan · 08-10-2009, 03:07 AM

Hats off to the Yanks for opening a can of woop a$$ on the home team.
Three very good pitching performances wasted.

Lets see if home cooking will get them back on the beam?

Appreciate that, John, and three of those four games were dang good on both sides. Your Sox seem to be in trouble, and from what I've seen you can't blame the starting pitchers for it. Half of your line-up appear to be DHs,1Bs, or beat-up catchers past their prime, and most of the rest are kids. You need some good veteran outfielders.

What ever happened to guys like Damon and Manny? Oh yeah - you chased them outta town.
