  1. Both. Because he's stupid, he thinks we're stupid as well. And to be honest, people do generally listen to him and believe the nonsense he has to say. For example, he said "it was all Craig's decision to fire Cora" right after Breslow said it was a group decision.
  2. On pace for the worst ever home record at Fenway. There isn't an appropriate emoji for this.
  3. Xander has a career 870 OPS at Fenway. Lester has a 3.59 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 51-30.
  4. I believe the other caps have a floor that are 90% of the ceiling. This one is actually too low!
  5. They may be more eager now that they are 7 games under .500 rather than in a WC race.
  6. You should ask the question about if they are having Ward fielding IF during practice in the other thread.
  7. I think any trade you do is mindful of next season as well. I'd trade for one big bat IFer and you probably need to deal Mayer to do so. I think Arias is probably in the conversation for a promotion midseason next year, so you really need MAYBE one big bat and another. However, I think it's fine if you have one IF position where you can throw Durbin/Sogard at and save money for elsewhere (DH). I think the Sox need to clear Duran/Masa/Story off the roster and add a RHB for DH. Taylor Ward? Ward has struggled hitting at Camden Yards, but is still mashing Away (858 OPS). Seiya Suzuki? Good Pull AIR%. Christian Walker trade?
  8. Last year he slumped once they put him in the IF. Just try not doing that again and see what happens?
  9. No, they should play the players that aren't hitting!
  10. How much for San Fran to take Sam Kennedy too?
  11. I'd smash that Neto trade. I don't think AZ does that Marte trade in season. I like Marte and think he can transition off 1b in two years if he needs to and still be a big time hitter. He's a guy who I think will still hit a bit as he ages. I wouldn't trade Narvaez. He's cheap and has a great glove. Lots of value even at a backup role. Not sure why everyone is down on him this year. Also, Rafaela has been much better than a #9 hitter so far.
  12. I think Ward would be an interesting piece for the right team. Here? I don't know what one more single per game does for this team TBH.
  13. Durbin just doesn't have the ceiling that Mayer does. You can put him on the bench and move him around the IF willy nilly. I'd still send him to AAA to give him a reset and see if he can get some confidence back. It's more important to spend time and really figure out how to fix Mayer or just trade him. I think guys like Seigler/Capra/Gasper/Sogard/Monasterio are all somewhat interchangeable and it doesn't matter who starts. Just go with whoever has the hot hand and it playing better at the time.
  14. Not sure how they are fitting another LHB OFer into the mix.
  15. Mayer, Witherspoon and Bennett? Mayer, Eyanson and Ziehl? Mayer and Duran?
  16. Mayer could have a clear path back later this summer. Just give him June and July in AAA. No harm in it. Durbin and IKF are similar skillsets to me. Once Durbin is on the bench, IKF doesn't have a spot.
