6/22 vS The Blue Jays

[TylerD]

Rain delays suck.

[TylerD]

what is the delay about? looked like sunshine to me

 

Probably sun showers. Happens. Might only last a few minutes.

[d-money]

Any particular names,and what would you give up. I am sure the clamoring will grow, after the yankees drop their bomb, they have enough ML ready bats to acquire whoever they want,just a matter of who and how many they are going to part with, I would think they are looking at Max,Bum. I have already resigned myself to this becoming reality sooner rather then later.

 

The Yankees don’t need more pitching but knowing them they will go for it. They went after Encarnación. They don’t need Encarnación. It shows you how desperate they’re even though they’re leading in the division.

Getting darned near impossible to keep Vaz out of this lineup. Fortunately, it does not appear that Cora is trying to keep him out.

Any word on Devers? He has turned into one of our best hitters and we will miss his bat while the hamstring heals.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

What about the Yankees?

 

They are going to give up some bats to get whatever SP they seek, I am guessing it is either going to be Max or Bum...It is the only way that trade with Seattle makes any sense

[TylerD]

Could have got Zach Britton. That’s over now.

[oldtimer]

I would love to get another starter and a BP arm.

 

I would love to see some detail about when Eovaldi is coming back. We have a starter but just need to get him back into the rotation.

Their S.P. is not all that, I see that trade as means to an end, hope I am wrong but I do not think so,given their history

They are paranoid beyond belief. It’s hilarious.

Did you forget about Luis Severino? They’re spoiled over there.

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

think he is done for the year

[d-money]

think he is done for the year

 

Naw he’s slated to come back.

[harmony]

Not true.. they have gone on record to state that he is tradable.

What does it mean to go "on record"?

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

Same report on Devers as last night, good chance we will see him in the lineup Saturday....today replace Saturday with Sunday, so most likely Monday

[d-money]

Come on Johnson.

[YastrzemskI]

Be back later guys... GO SOX!

Thank you Harmony...now someone tell me what they thing will land him

[Jasonbay44]

Brian Johnson with some excellent pitching to make the Jays hit some line drives right at people.

I could actually hear both those baseballs screaming.

He wont be cheap. He's elite power bat, only 27 and I believe has 3 more years of control.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

BJ's apparently rebuilding with sons of Hall of Famers.

agreed, and I do not think the Sox have the chips

[TylerD]

I’m eating sour cream and onion chips. It’s a good day.

Sarcastic SOB...

[oldmaninthevegasdesert]

an ominous start for my over 11 ticket

[d-money]

I wonder how many times we have scored in the first inning of a game this season.

[d-money]

Offense is always slow off the gate.

I am drinking my lunch, some Stone Brewery Arrogant Bastard Ales....they sell any in Beantown,some killer brews, these are 7.8

[Jasonbay44]

I also don't really see where he'd fit in. Beni-JBJ-Mookie with JD at DH is already solid. Unless Sox would deal Beni in this type of deal, which Id be completely against.

 

 

Things to keep in mind with Renfroe - His fielding is bad, he is essentially a one trick pony - power. He doesn't get on base or hit for average. Career .299 OBP is concerning. I think he's good, but will demand more than he should. Overall, I don't think Sox are a match for him, he's not the guy I'd want to overpay for.

[Jasonbay44]

Brock Holt has been playing really good since returning off the IL, he's been a big boost. I always feel like Holt playing well and the Red Sox playing well usually go together.
