Team should be trying to make the playoffs regardless. In 2021 no way in hell I would have thought that team had a chance to win the WS. I know they didn't win it but they came close to making it to the big dance. And look at the Phillies last year. Just get in as you never what can happen.
-
Back then only 2 teams each league made the playoffs. We can't use this as an example. Right now 5 teams per league make the playoffs. It's a huge difference
-
My point? That the offense wasn't going to sustained the run production they did early on I the year. In April they were 3rd in runs scored with 163. In May they fell back to earth with 122 which ranks them 19th. In June they are currently 20th. So I think it's safe to say the offense is not as good as the start of the year indicated

On May 1st Verdugo was on pace for 27HR , 130 Runs scored, over 200 hits and 100 Rbis. He was not going to sustain that. I mentioned Duval as he attributed a lot in those 2 weeks for the team run production.
-
Devers would of hit over 60HR if he kept that pace.
-
Oh so you think Verdugo, Duvall and Devers numbers from April was capable of hitting like they did that month for the rest of the year? I don't think so.
-
Boston is NOT a small market team. Why would they need to do like Tampa? Boston won their previous 4 titles by going out and getting the players they need. Yes they had some home grown talent in there but they also went out and got Big Papi, Manny, Pedro, Schilling, beckett, JD, Price and the list goes on.

The offense was over achieving. This was bound to happen.
-
Still counts as an 0-fer
-
What a time for your major league debut
-
Why would you swing on the first pitch with someone with control issues
-
The ump missed 2 strike calls there which allows the leadoff walk
-
What is Cora arguing? That was a catch
-
They are pitching him inside. If they keep doing that he will need to adjust.
-
Finally, some good fundamentals right there.
-
This would be a good time to bunt over the runners
-
You're the one who also said yourself that his defense is terrible and worst on the team the other day just an FYI
-
Lol. Most outfielders makes that catch with ease
-
You have to stop using this lame argument. We've all said many times, we're upset because they are being replace by junk not necessarily because the ones they let go are doing well. If Kluber was having a great year do you think we'd be all saying oh that's too bad we didn't keep Nate? f*** no, we'd be all stoked and couldn't care less how the other ones are doing.
-
Raffy, Verdugo and Kike have hit Cole quite well.
-
The issue is not specifically that we're missing JD , nate and wacha. The issue is that their replacements are not doing any better. If they were doing good I couldn't care less what the other 3 are doing. Fact is that those moves did not improve the team. The issue with the team is pitching really and he did not address this very good in the off season
-
Sounds like Sale will be out longer than expected. Been transferred to the 60 day DL
-
Yes, those are points to as to why the FO should not have paid him 300 Million. What happens during stretches like this that Devers is having in terms of production? Absolutely nothing. At least if he was a top notch defender like a Machado or Arenado he would still be Impactful to the team in a way. In order for him to be worth 300 Million he'd need to OPS in the 950 -1000 range every year. Like a David Ortiz type thing. He's not that player so why pay him over 300 Million? I've said this many times. His comp is Matt Olson. Is he getting 300 Million? f*** no.

I'm not hating on Devers. I'm hating on management
