Espn covering now

who is Joe McDonald? He thinks gregg should have been tossed for "going to the well too many times" so...the redsox should never be pitched in...more than twice an at bat? Really joe, really?

According to the past ramblings of El Trea, this is the brawl we need to come together and stand up to the bad guys and then kick ass all the way to the playoffs.

Unfortunately, MacPhail will ruin it somehow.

How confident is anyone on here we even win 1 of the games started by Simon and Atkins this weekend?

Maybe I need to start watching again.

I no longer care if Gregg stinks or not. Put him out there and let him instigate those jerks. Heck yeah!

Why did Ortiz even run out there if he wasn't going to do anything? I can't stand him or anyone else associated with that bunch.

Yeah, well about Ortiz, show-boating on a homer off a rookie pitching his first game in Fenway, whining about an inside fastball, and then, after charging Gregg, having absolutely nothing to deliver. Gregg's attitude was basically, "You wanna fight, OK, I'm coming after YOU!" :clap3:

don't get me wrong....gregg handled it perfectly. I do think he protected his hand....as he should...but who wouldn't have loved a belly shot to ortiz?

As said before, he just missed landing a right to Ortiz's jaw.

Amen. His line about...

"They're gonna whine and complain about it because they think they're better than everyone else..."

Dead on for why I hate the Sox

Papelbon's quote when told what Gregg said was according to ESPN..."what do we have to whine about?"

Papelbon's answer was perfect.

Wining team, winning organization, great ownership and management. Not much to whine about.

Depends on whether what Gregg started sticks. Sounds like it just might. Best way to counter a butt whooping is to round up the wagons and yell defiance. Gregg might have just lit a new fire. I hated the Gregg signing, but now I am thankful. He has more fire then anyone else. He demonstrated it, got charged, defended himself, and poked an eye of the sox. Bravo. Take a clue Birds. Get mad, get even. Grow up kids, grow young Vlad, Lee. Just have passion. That is all we ask.

Papelbon needs to get clobbered.

    • Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that. 
    • The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.
    • Looks maybe concussion related. 
    • How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.
    • I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made. 
    • Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
