    Song is a TBD as he is still on his active duty. Never know what 2 years off will do for you, heck it could make him stronger. Ward just underwent TJS in June and will miss all of 21 and 22. Winckowski will be trade fodder. Sits low 90s, not a high K guy, good GB percentages. My bet is he gets dealt next year for reinforcements

    There’s also expectations vs reality. When every pundit says your team should be the cream of the AL and your team is .500 around the ASB, that’s sucking.
  3. jacksonianmarch
    They did suck. Remains to be seen if they will continue to.

    The Durran that was drafted and was surging in the minors is not the Durran that is up in the bigs. They altered his swing to get more loft, but in doing so, turning him into an all or nothing hitter. When you've got a guy with a pretty good eye and a solid set of wheels, allowing him to be a contact hitter isnt a bad thing.

    Heck of an ending. Now just 4 up on the Yanks in the L column.

    In ARod's defense (and I do not defend him), that is what most reports were saying
  7. jacksonianmarch
    Great D that inning

    Jay Groome has done nothing to say he is part of a wave of anything. The guy can't throw strikes or go deep in games. He looks like a reliever. Mata just had TJS, and while that doesn't entirely disqualify him, it does push back his timeline likely into 2023. Bello is intriguing and just reached AA. He is likely to be more of a mid season callup next year at best, although I like his stuff

    Makes sense. Getting guys at the tip top of the IFA is always better. Dominguez was a singular talent. This kid looks like a solid hitter/defender. Keep adding talent Cash

    Renfroe murdered that one

    Seattle traded their closer because they were getting Tampa Bay’s closer.

    Sometimes adding reinforcements reinvigorates the club. Rizzo has been dynamite. The defense has improved. While we haven’t hit tremendously, we’ve improved in the clutch. This Holmes kid has been pretty good as well. We’ve got 3 home vs the O’s, 4 at home vs the pretender M’s and 3 at KC. We’ve played down to our competition all year. If we can go on a run and take 7 or 8 of 10, we will position ourselves nicely heading into a CWS series

    Rizzo with the sick DP
  14. jacksonianmarch
    Fabian was a preseason top 10 draft pick with some of the best power in the whole draft. He wasn’t your typical 41st selection
  15. jacksonianmarch
    Rizzo with the game tying single in the 8th. Wow
  16. jacksonianmarch
    Yanks dealt for Heaney and German hits the IL. Slots right in
  17. jacksonianmarch
    Totally forgot about Eovaldi. Yeah, you do have room for a top end starter
  18. jacksonianmarch
    Yeah, but a bunch of starter spots open. I’m not sold on Houck. Can’t seem to stay healthy and the Sox certainly aren’t treating him like an integral part of the future. But let’s, for argument’s sake, say he’s got a spot next year. You’ve got Sale and Pivetta. You need two starters and have a barren farm on the pitching end. Plus you’ve got medical question marks surrounding Sale and Houck. While you certainly can sign a Scherzer, I wonder if you’ll see multiple veteran signees as depth. Remember, you’re gonna see a jump in Devers’ pay too. You also don’t know if Henry has okayed another run above the Lux tax. That might make this all moot
  19. jacksonianmarch
    Saying the Sox are average in the SP department is an affront to good starting pitching. Sox starter’s ERA sits at 4.61. The Yanks, A’s, Jays, Astros, and White Sox are way ahead of them. The Tigers have a better ERA and it’s not close. The only contender with a worse starting era is Seattle and they get by on smoke and mirrors as their Pythagorean is worse than the Angels and tigers. Red Sox are 0.64 runs per 9 worse than the worst starting pitching contender, the Rays.

    Mayer is clearly the cream here, but Fabian is what made this draft so good, IMO. Subbing him out makes this draft less of a homerun as it looks like they drafted with the idea that they'd have to overpay Fabian and Hickey, so they played it safe thereafter
  21. jacksonianmarch
    We dealt off depth, but not even top of system depth to get what we got. My questions was whether it would be worth the investment. Getting Rizzo has already paid dividends. I am hoping Gallo finds it too
  22. jacksonianmarch
    You also just played the Jays and Rays, so it’s not like you’re crushing the Marlins here. Schwarber will add length to your already potent lineup. If your pitching goes south, you’ll need the hitting to show up
  23. jacksonianmarch
    Schwarber will likely play 1b. You’ll need to live with his growing pains there. He’s apparently almost ready for a rehab assignment. Initial projections were 3 more weeks but he might be back in 2 if he’s ready for a rehab assignment

    I think everyone on this site, to a person, would agree that the Sox have overachieved. The problem you run into with a shallow benched, thin farmed overachieving team is that when you start to see wear and tear, fatigue, or injury, you don’t have the backups there to step in and perform. The Sox have a bunch of super sub type players, but they’re all sucking. The Sox have a rotation of 4’s and 5’s and they’re all regressing to their mean after all overachieving. The offense has finally started to have some valleys after months of peaks. This is where you figure out the intestinal fortitude of a team. When s*** starts going wrong, can they keep it from snow balling? It’s an intriguing storyline for sure. You’ve got Pivetta tonight against the Rays who are looking to add some distance from you, then an off day, then three against the mediocre tigers, albeit with Garrett Richards starting the series. The last two months of this season could be intriguing

    Rizzo has been awesome!
