    A few years ago, it was hard for visiting fans to get tickets. Seems to be easier now!

    @ChrisCotillo Red Sox select the contract of righty Dinelson Lamet and designate Richard Bleier for assignment.

    @tylermilliken_ Red Sox pulling out all the stops tonight with the City Connect uniforms. 21-4 record all-time while wearing them. Badly need another one of those wins tonight. Should have done this during the Jays series?

    If Henry wanted to keep Betts, he'd still be here.

    It's really just playing .500 against everybody. If they played a longer series against the Braves, it wouldn't have been a sweep.

    I could see this coming back last offseason. When the starting rotation was set up in this manner, the injuries piled up and the bullpen just got overtaxed. I think they are most likely sticking with Bloom another year. However, Carrabis did say that he heard ownership was frustrated that moves weren't made at the deadline. We'll see. Me being pissed off about a .500 season isn't going to fix the Red Sox. I'm also not sure it's a season worth getting pissed off over. They keep building that bridge longer. If they don't make some major moves this offseason and plan on really gunning for the playoffs, I may not up my home MLB package. I'll just stick paying for my grandfather's and go over there when I want to watch a game.

    Dropped 2 against OAK, SF, SEA, NYM since ASB Their pitching looks taxed. Even a below average offense is going to take advantage of it.
  8. mvp 78
    Yeah, if they can't beat up on the Royals/Tigers/Nats, they are going to get smoked when they have to play HOU/LAD/HOU at the end of the month. The schedule after the Nats series ends on 8/17: 9 series against Wild Card or better teams 3 series against teams out of the playoff picture (NYY, CWS, KC)

    Refsnyder CF, Yoshida LF, Turner DH, Devers 3B, Duvall RF, Casas 1B, Urías 2B, Reyes SS, Wong C

    Bello vs Ragans Royals have won last 7 of 9. Sox have lost last 7 of 9. Which way western man?
  11. mvp 78
    The cheap options have worked out poorly. Unless they were nabbing Dansby, we were going to be disappointed with the SS output from our new SS FA. They weren't going to get Dansby though.

    Get more return from a team with the means to extend him.
  13. mvp 78
    That's quite the mountain they need to climb to get back into it. It won't be impossible, but it'll be rough. I think it's pretty much over.

    Next season is year 5. If he gets there, it's probably time for him to try to push for the postseason a little harder than he did in 22 and 23. This is his team now. We said last offseason that it was a big offseason for him, but if he can't figure out the starting rotation going into next year (and a plan for its future), he needs to go. Sale - #5/IL, can't count on Whitlock - put him in the pen Bello - fine for a #2 Houck - back of the rotation arm/bulk arm Crawford - back of the rotation arm/bulk arm Pivetta - back of the rotation arm/bulk arm Drohan - depth at the end of the year at best They clearly need to add two arms IMO. Bello Yamamoto Montgomery Sale Houck Depth: Crawford/Pivetta/Drohan(late) I feel comfortable with that rotation. You won't count on Sale to go the distance, but have two bulk guys in the pen that can fill in during his last season. I don't want Whitlock in the rotation anymore. He just can't stay healthy.
  15. mvp 78
    How was Yu Chang seen as a decent SS option this offseason? He had less than 200 career MLB innings at SS prior to this season.
  16. mvp 78
    Sale may start this week? Whitlock should be able to get into the pen at some point? Houck is further behind than initially reported.
  17. mvp 78
    How was it too late? The prices at the deadline showed that it was time to sell.
  18. mvp 78
    They didn't acquire Chang until Spring Training and well after Story had his surgery. Is Change an average SS? At best, he's a 0.5 fWAR guy fulltime? Is that average?
  19. mvp 78
    Erases the memories of Rent-a-wreck.
  20. mvp 78
    He had a very special defensive season. One for the ages!
  21. mvp 78
    Missed the Montgomery trade. That value was Drohan and Hickey. I don't think the Sox should have done the Civale/Giolito trades. Those asks are too high. I think they could have figured out some of the other ones, but would have passed on the Hill and Lorenzen price tags. Personally, the team should be sorted out in the offseason and not have to wait for the "trade deadline" because you've already lost a few extra games by that point.
  22. mvp 78
    Even Rich Hill has an expiration date. According to Statcast, he's close to his. Doubt we see him in a Sox uni again.
  23. mvp 78
    The general consensus seemed to be in the offseason: Bullpen - Good job! Starting Rotation - What the f***? It would only work out if Sale, Whitlock, Bello, Pivetta, Kluber and Paxton all stayed healthy. It had a 25% chance of working? Offense - Fine? SS was a huge question mark, but everything else seemed to be ok enough. Turner was a decent pickup, but older. Masa was taking a big chance on an unknown. Aside from the glaring hole at SS, it was ok. If Kiké had just had an average year, it would have prevented a lot of frustration.
  24. mvp 78
    I think they wanted to be good this year, they just were too up and down. If Kiké wasn't such a shitshow and the injuries to Houck/Sale/Whitlock didn't happen, maybe this team is in the thick of it and then you do make a trade or two? IDK. They say they have a north star, but the ship seems kind of rudderless at times. They just have a good fishing pole.
  25. mvp 78
    The loser attitude to me is to go for it in a season when the team is obviously not good enough. They just aren't! The loser attitude is being shown on the field right now. Adding a player or two wouldn't have fixed the many issues this team had. If you're not going to play to win, then why play at all? Good point. Should have dealt Turner, Duvall and maybe Paxton.
