Looks like AC is going all in today to sweep the Rays . How is the weather today ?

[vegasbob]

JDM whacks a 3 run HR above the bullpen. JD must prefer cool weather to the hot summer as his FA audition gets a boost.

[vegasbob]

Pivetta with 70 pitches through one out in the 3rd , gives up a 2 run shot to Choi. Fat LH hitters are often Boston's nemeses. In most parks it was a flyball to left

[moonslav59]

Bogey and now JD have started padding their RBI totals, just in time!

[jad]

I figured that it would not matter much what anyone did: a player who did not perform during the last week would be hammered by 'true' fans; a player who did perform would also be hammered by 'true' fans. That's why I am glad not to be a true fan; I can actually get some pleasure out of watching great athletes do well.

[jad]

Oof. Gonna miss Eck.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Oof. Gonna miss Eck.

 

I finally agreed with something you posted. Amazing.

Where was JD 2 months ago when the season was in the balance ?! Infuriating to see him now remember how to hit when it’s garbage time.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And if one thinks he's gonna miss ECK now, one is gonna miss him a lot more when he's replaced by Youk next year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX fans have had the privilege of having Remy and ECK doing the color and both have been excellent in their own individual way. And OB does play-by-play better than most.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe that almost excellent catch by Dugo pretty much sums up the SOX season.

[vegasbob]

So who closes out the 9th of the last game of the season? Do we have a closer ? Maybe next Spring

It pretty much sums up Verdugo -- he's always seems almost good.

 

The preceding comment comes via a poster whose ex once called him almost good-looking.

Barzini's dead. So is Philip Tattaglia. Moe Greene, Strachi - Cuneo. Today we settle all family business…

Can't agree more. Remy and Eck together was awesome. Eck can't be replaced. He is the best in the business.

Barnes will close.

I think Dugo is good. He's a good hitter and a good fielder and has a decent arm. But then everyone has their own definition of 'good.'

[vegasbob]

Have to respect Casas up with the bases full to not just chase bad pitches and take the walk/rbi . Some guys could learn from the rookie.

Is Bloom's DFA list as long as Michael Corleone's?

Verdugo is a good and necessary piece on a strong team where he doesn't need to carry 5 other guys for a month.

[vegasbob]

So the winter starts and the roster swirls trying to get back in contention

[Tedballgame]

Barnes could be useful next year if he can avoid walks.

[illinoisredsox]

Exactly. He’s a good player. He’s not a great one. Expecting him to carry a team is foolhardy.

[illinoisredsox]

Can't agree more. Remy and Eck together was awesome. Eck can't be replaced. He is the best in the business.

 

Totally agree, and I’m certain what happened to Jerry was a big part of Eck’s decision. Family comes first and you can’t get time back.

Verdugo had an excellent second half with the bat.

It was impressive.

[mvp 78]

Barnes bandwagon is ready to load for 2023.

[mvp 78]

Also, NESN will be much worse without Remy and Eck.
