Still don't understand why Durbin isn't batting 5th in the lineup.

The Red Sox should hire Durban’s personal hitting instructor.  It would be money well spent.

It's hard to believe that we could be doing so well without either Crochet or Bello.  It's been so good that we don't even get to use Crochet's injury as an excuse.

Hell, the Sox have a backup 5 starters all on the IL.

[mvp 78]

Pack it up. Season over. Trade everyone.

It appears umpires frequently eject players for tapping the helmet because it is interpreted as disputing an umpires call. Truly chicken shite.

Thank goodness Fred's not the GM, but I do believe Fred would make a good Wally.

Yeah

We’re doing just great Joe. Last place and what—12 games under .500? I don’t know what team you’re watching.

It is over in terms of the playoffs. Right now the chances of making the playoffs are just 18% according to Fangraphs. So yeah-do trades that put us in a better position to be relevant in a couple of years

It is bogus but I think they believe it’s like arguing balls and strikes

9 games under, so I guess you don't know what team you are watching.

Right now, the Sox are 4 games out of a PO spot in the weak AL. So, of course, let's trade everyone.

[Larry Cook]

That was a nice win. The pitching has been pretty good these past 10 days!!

12 was a guess. That’s why I phrased it the way I did. We are still way underwater and in last place

#4 in the AL in run differential.  We just have to keep winning.

I seen good RS rotations before, but generally top-heavy, which is fine.  I don't remember seeing a rotation going 5-deep with this consistency.

What you know about baseball is pretty much a guess.

We should be sellers at the deadline. Not really interested in a one and out in the unlikely event we do make the playoffs.

I think it's been longer if you're referring to the starting pitching.

I think I’d make an exceptional GM.

I dispute the word exceptional unless GM stands for garbage man.

12 straight quality starts is simply amazing.
