Nice win. Fulmer and the 'pen did well Tonite.

Nice win. I hope I’m dead wrong on Fulmer but still don’t think he’s a major league starter.

Say, that was an alright game.

Hope they get their game in tomorrow.

He looked fine. Better than Gonzalez. HIs stuff moves.

Lowest bar. Ever

So let's just shit on this young guy, after a good September, and quality first start. Jesus.

We're Sox fans.

We always are negative.

_________________

Smart. Not negative. We know for certain the bullpen minus two guys sucks. And Anderson will never not commit a ton of errors. But we've seen Fulmer for how many starts in the big leagues? And what did he do last September that was so awful?

_________________

Or we can look at the overall picture when it comes to his career after being the 8th overall pick and judge based on that rather than judging him on a September and a start.

His career? So a few minor league seasons? Is that how baseball works now?

Well we (yeah I said it), we won. Let's lighten up.

I’m unclear of what you’re asking.

I’m pretty pessimistic regarding his chances of being a quality starter in the majors. This is due to many factors. I’m a Sox fan and hope I’m wrong. Not sure what the issue you have with any of that is.

1. He's shown some signs of life in the majors.
2. James Shields and Miguel Gonzalez are in the rotation.
3. It would be a positive if he showed something.

I'm not sure why Fulmer starts are worse than other starters at this point is all.

1. So have MANY trash pitchers
2. They suck too, although González didn’t have the expectations the other two did so I wouldn’t lump him in there
3. Of course. I hope he’s great and I look like an idiot for this exchange.

Pretty sure the lowest bar ever was set for Robin Ventura as a manager, and he failed bigtime.

I'm convinced if not a MLB starter, an MLB pitcher. He's added an effective cutter and his changeup does some weird shit. Must be a splitter. But as usual, if he walks guys , he's gonna get rocked.

Tomorrow's game against the Rays moved to a 1:10 first pitch. I guess they figure it's easier to play in snow than cold.

How many people are there going to be at today's game...1200?

Seriously. On a day like this, the Sox should close off the upper deck, offer $1 hotdogs, $1 coffee/hot chocolate, and $5 outfield/lower corner tickets. Its basically general admission/seating anyway. Maybe they get a few hundred walk ups if they did that.

_________________

Gotta protect the "sanctity" of the season ticket holders.

_________________

At best, 10% of season ticket holders will be at today's game. They already moved the start time from 7pm to 1pm.

_________________

They should just cancel this one. Have a double header tomorrow if need be. Cubs game should be postponed as well.

_________________

Oh I know.

But that was always the reasoning as to why they just don't close the upper deck and let fans sit anywhere.

"People paid for the right to be the only ones to sit in those seats."

_________________

And when there is 20K people there for the hoodie giveaway later this month, I agree with that.

A day like today, cheap tickets and general admission. It's common sense.

_________________

It's valid though.

There has to be some reason to buy season tickets when you don't sell out very often.

If you want down there then buy the tickets from a season ticket holder.
