Time to trade JJ right now! Hurry!

I’m out seeing an 70s cover band

Or a 70s cover band

I think he killed “it” Bub!

What an unreal night from JJ. I was nothing but wrong about his start tonight. Unbelievable performance.

How do we feel about the potential of Youkilis becoming a Brave? Apparently we have been scouting him a lot over the past few weeks.
Stevie, say it – “Hammy was right(er than me).”

OK, Hammy. You were right, righter, rightest.
Youkilis seems like a very expensive bench solution. For numbers that have been unimpressive this year.

I would like to apologize to JJ and his mom

I wouldn’t mind Youkilis if the Red Sox pay a huge chunk of his salary. That may be more of a possibility than we think. It seems the Sox want to move on to Middlebrooks for good. And I don’t know how much anyone will give up for a 33-year-old Youkilis with an 81 OPS+ this season. And he’s a “old 33″ with so much wear and tear. I doubt there is a bidding war for Youkilis. The Sox may take what they can get and pay a chunk of salary.

Did JJ look as masterful as the box score implies?

Great game to watch. Solid baseball.

@110 He gave up a couple of hard hit balls in the 7th, but for the first six innings all he gave up was a dinky single. I would say he looked pretty dominate.

hard hit balls in the 8th*
first seven innings*
I hate numbers.

I’m among those who thought JJ would return to 3-4 starter ability, but I thought he’d get slaughtered by the Sox. That game seemed pretty huge all around. Wish the velocity had been higher, but he looked good.

I was really impressed with how his slider looked. I agree that he has a need for more speed, but that was a gutty performance. Very happy for him (and for us).
June 23rd, 2012 at 12:26 pm
I bet the Red Sox fans feel like we do when we’ve been dominated by guys like Capuano when he was with the Mets last season.
June 23rd, 2012 at 8:13 pm
Delgado got the treatment I expected JJ to get from these Sox. They can rake.
June 23rd, 2012 at 9:38 pm
Oh no. Andrew Miller. Another guy who can only
Pitch against Atlanta
June 23rd, 2012 at 9:38 pm
And there you go
June 23rd, 2012 at 9:38 pm
well that was unlucky.
June 23rd, 2012 at 10:49 pm
Tough loss! I just can’t imagine trading JJ for anyone who will wear the uniform for less than three or or four years. I have always revered his upside, much like Heyward. He could end up being our ace. I think his injuries and record could put even Scott Boras against the ropes. I hope we can hang on to his talent.

Lol, someone actually told you guys to get bent in a tweet. I haven’t heard anyone other than Bart Simpson say that ever. I guess you really can’t expect too much from someone using the handle johnnyrod1.
I know I’m late to the party, but way to go Jair!
June 24th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
I’m so glad Medlen is in the bullpen where we really need him.
June 24th, 2012 at 3:20 pm
Maybe not for long after these 2 starts
June 24th, 2012 at 3:24 pm
I thought we were going to come back for like 2 seconds but then Minor had to go and ruin everything.
