Not sure why the Sox have this philosophy that you can raid the bullpen for starting pitchers. I thought that was just an annoying Bloom thing, but it seems to continue. All off-season, pitchers like Eric Lauer, Zach Davies, Carlos Carrasco, and Domingo German, among others , signed minor league deals with other teams.

 

Per sportrac, 30 starting pitchers signed MiLB deals. None with Boston.

Abreu up to .824!

Having success for a batter at the plate is tough enough. Adding a s*** chUMP to the equation just makes it all that more difficult.

What about GIO?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby D can't buy a break.

Sounds like sportrac forgot about him, also.

[Jasonbay44]

Come on McGuire. We need insurance runs. Maybe Jerk one over the RF fence?

[Jasonbay44]

Jerk off man comes up clutch!!

Reese!

[vegasbob]

Seems like a forever game , only in the 5th, but the good guys are winning

[moonslav59]

Not lately. The SOX, otoh, since 2012 have been either very good or very bad. Nothing in between.

 

Depends what you call "very bad."

 

2 seasons over .581 (actually over .598 in 2013 & 2018)

4 seasons .521-.580

4 seasons .480-.520

3 seasons below .479

.400 in 2020 (60 gm season)

.426 in 2012

.438 in 2014

 

13 seasons:

2 great

3 very good (.568 to .574 or 92-93 win seasons)

5 not real bad (.481 or 78 wins) to not real good (.519 or 84 wins)

3 really bad

This SOX team may not get many hits, but they have been getting timely hits.

Based on this teams payroll and expectations, especially compared to the Pirates, there have been a lot of “bad” seasons.

I've read that 'jerking off' helps prevent prostate cancer.

[Jasonbay44]

That’s fair. I’m generation Jones dnd we don’t follow Gen Z’s lame rules either.

 

I’m a millennial who grew up in a die hard Sox family, but grew up in Maryland. If I became a fan of another baseball team such as Baltimore or Nationals I’m pretty my dad would’ve disowned me lol.

What’s the reason behind the jerk off man moniker? Idk why but I find that quite funny

He got arrested for masturbating in public

[jgar658]

Abreu is really starting to swing a good bat

 

Abreu has a good eye at the plate-------------almost as good as casas.

He seems to be able to catch the ball and can actually run and steal a base.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So far this season the SOX have disproved home field advantage.

Wtf! Am I watching SVU or a baseball game

What about GIO?

 

That wasn’t a minor league deal

It’s a true story. As soon as he got traded here it went viral on Twitter as a lot of people only knew his name for one reason lol

Abreu will have games where you think he’s a gem, and other games where you think you see why Houston gave him away…

[wyo-sox]

I'll define it for you then: A true Red Sox fan always roots for the Red Sox no matter who they are playing.

 

Everyone gets to define what type of fan they are- none is more or less true than the other.

[Jasonbay44]

Abreu playing awesome today

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I highly approve of Abreu.

I like his ceiling. He’s only 25.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

OK. Thanks.

[Jasonbay44]

This umpire called two pitches in the zone to Dalbec balls after ringing him up on two pitches way out of the zone earlier. Is this guy blind?

[wyo-sox]

Maybe if Abreu keeps up this level of playing Ceddanne Rafaela can come to shore up SS ???
