Chavis in LF because now we can't even fill out a full outfield, never mind rotation and bullpen.

Can Chavis pitch?  Maybe take over as manager?  Maybe have JD Martinez play SS or something? 

What a fiasco.

RR is a genius, he's got Bronson Arroyo playing 2B and we know he can pitch.  Wait, that's another Arroyo!

Didi puts the Phil's on the board in the 2nd.  Raffy hits a solo job to tie it in the 3rd.

Raffy got his second homer, added to dingers by Verdugo and Dalbec.  All solos, Sox up 5-4 in the 6th.  A short game that goes for  7, do we have a closer??

longgame

Even seven innings was too much.  Clearly, as noted in another thread, RR has no idea that Barnes is not a closer.  We've watched this guy for years and know that he can't handle pressure and he definitely can't close games.  He proved it again.

Well Bill you could take it from Ted.........He knows, Elk knows, Sea Dog knows and you and I know that Barnes is not a closer.  A closer is successful about 85-90 percent of the time; Barnes is below 50%---sometimes way below.  If they want to keep the bum around  they might try him as a starter; better yet, send him packing.  The guy cannot get the job done and I still resent all the blown saves he has racked up since we got him.  He cost E-Rod a chance of being a 20 game winner the last game of the season last year and has repeatedly shown he is only proficient in bouncing his curve ball, walking the first batter he faces and in totally incapable of protecting a one run lead.  Tie a tin can to his ass and get him the hell out of Boston this off season.
