    They have one guy above 801 OPS and some huge offensive black holes. The starters aside from Means generally have 6+ ERA's. Game 3's starter Chris Ellis has started a few games recently, but has a 5.21 FIP.

    They traded their 5 best players excluding Soto (Max, Schwarber, Turner, Gomes, Harrison). That's definitely "a few" LMAO. Lane Thomas and Riley Adams have played well after being acquired though.

    Nats can hit, they just can't pitch and field. 8th worst in ERA 2nd worst in HR's allowed They traded away their two best fielders and the remaining defense is pretty bad. It's the kind of team that the 2021 Sox can beat up pretty good.

    The Red Sox have a budget that the Rays never do. Bloom has the ability to sign expensive guys, but should be able to focus on the MiLB guys and get some undervalued players to supplement the $$$ guys.

    He could wind up being ok. However, his "stuff" has been greatly diminished this season in AAA. Maybe he can get healthy this offseason? If not, he'll never make an impact in the rotation.

    I only thought it could be a cheaper option. I'm not really psyched on a lot of the pitching FA's this offseason. Max is old and will want too many years. Stroman and Gausman are the two I'd lobby for. Roll the dice for a healthy Syndergaard? I think Robbie Ray is a flash in the pan. DeSclafani as a lower tiered guy? Alex Wood?

    I've seen this one before. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=201109280BAL

    It's a magic date because the Sox magically started to suck at that time. I guess 2 straight months of playing poor to mediocre baseball is something people want to believe in, but I can't.

    The Rays strength is always their depth. Their B team would still be a very good team. All their backups are basically Alex Verdugo level good. To the Rays, a pitching backup is Shane Baz.

    Every team has ifs. Some just have more ifs than others.
  11. mvp 78
    Sox have the perfect schedule lined up. Even missing out on a home WC game is kinda disappointing TBH.
  12. mvp 78
    Not sure they are comfortable ponying up for Rosenthal. I don't think they'll pay for Jansen. Kimbrel's ship has sailed. I guess they'd try to get Raisel Iglesias?
  13. mvp 78
    I honestly think Houck and Whitlock flip roles and Houck becomes the high leverage guy. Does he close? IDK.
  14. mvp 78
    You're wrong. The Sox beat up on weaker teams and fold against stronger teams. It's more likely than not that they get scorched in a WC game, because that is what past performance has shown. The coin flip idea doesn't work here.
  15. mvp 78
    For what? The Sox aren't perennial underdogs. This isn't 1998. Getting embarrassed in a WC game doesn't sound like a fun time to me.
  16. mvp 78
    It's a major factor because they struggle mightily against good teams. You think that portends for future success?
  17. mvp 78
    They absolutely are not able to rebuild from within in 2022. Maybe 2023 some more arms could come up? Right now, the strength of their farm is much further away than 2022. I'm not sure they have anyone they can rocket through the system unless they are throwing Bello in the pen.
  18. mvp 78
    It was good that they didn't do anything at the deadline though!
  19. mvp 78
    I'd rather miss out on the WC game than get destroyed in it. Sure, it would be great to eliminate the Yanks, but there's a 73% chance the Yankee crowd goes home happy.
  20. mvp 78
    4-2 and they could miss out on even a play in game to get to the WC.
  21. mvp 78
    I'd like Scherf and Chavis back.
  22. mvp 78
    An 8-21 streak against good teams is actually very meaningful. If they struggle to beat good teams, you can't say "well, it's just a crapshoot in the playoffs." In this situation, the deck would be extremely stacked against the Red Sox.
  23. mvp 78
    The issue is that at some point, these guys need to be replaced by prospects from the minors. Maybe they just call up Feltman to take the Richards bullpen spot? Do they try to start the season with Seabold in the rotation?
  24. mvp 78
    This team wasn't built to be a playoff team. This team was built to be an "also ran" IMO. They played above their heads for 2/3's of this season and are going to coast to the playoffs.
  25. mvp 78
    If the Sox miss out on the final WC spot with 6 games against BAL and WAS, they should be kinda embarrassed.
