  1. Kimmi, if the free fall began a few weeks before the deadline, would you have been fine with Bloom standing pat?
  2. The Sox had an abnormally high winning % in 1 run games. It was clear that wasn't sustainable. The bats have cooled off. The pen has struggled. I wouldn't start patting yourself on the back just yet because you said the Yanks were the best team in the division and the Jays were second best. You said the Rays would maybe have a WC chance. The Sox exceeded our expectations, but even if they go .500 the rest of the way they will have smoked yours. The "I've predicted everything that happened to this Sox team for the past 5 years" was ******** then and is ******** now.
  3. I'm hopeful for your take, but not seeing it right now. This team isn't showing any signs of life. Beating the O's during a 14 game losing streak doesn't count.
  4. ^^^ I was going to make the offseason thread as a joke, but realized that even if I'm down on the Sox I can't put it out there in the universe.
  5. He didn't start last night. Is his hammy still bothering him?
  6. He doesn't need to do it all, but someone at some point has to provide a spark. If it's not the new acquisition, then what's the point of bringing him in?
  7. MLB has been like this for 25 years now at least.
  8. 434 OPS since this post.
  9. @ChrisCotillo Nick Pivetta still believes the Red Sox are better than the Yankees, who swept them and passed them in the standings this week. "Yes, they’re a good team. But we’re better and we’re going to move forward from this.”
  10. That 4.60 ERA in AA is really something else, I guess? 5.60 in his past 9 starts.
  11. He needs to light the world on fire and light a fire under his teammates' asses.
  12. Without a second year of control, it doesn't make sense to trade for someone on the IL.
  13. It has not been fun.
  14. They previously had him and he was planned to come back around this time. We thought he'd be taking over for an injured ERod/Eovaldi or for struggling Perez/Richards. They needed to add more than just say "let's go with what we already have in our organization's pipeline." Rather than just call up Josiah Gray, the Dodgers brought in new talent. That's how you bolster the roster.
  15. Jay Groome (SP; W): 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K (81 pitches) Nick Yorke, 2B: 3-4, 1 3B, 3 R (891 OPS overall) Luis Ravelo 936 OPS in AUG (IFA last year) Miguel Bleis 956 OPS overal
  16. The Other Way is so good. I can't stand Happily Ever After though.
  17. I think they were trying to be too sneaky. Hard for me to count Sale/Houck as deadline acquisitions.
  18. Not sure how getting Plawecki more AB's at DH helps get Schwarber in the lineup.
  19. Cora thought they could sneak JD in RF while in small RF Yankee land. Didn't work. Why didn't Schwarber start?
  20. @IanMBrowne Scheduling nugget that might make you feel better about Red Sox playoff chances. Of their last 39 games starting Friday, 23 are against sub .500 teams. In their most recent 39-game stretch which ends tonight, 30 were against teams over .500. 9 were against sub. 500 teams. Who wants to end the season losing a WC game though?
  21. Davis has been better than Robles.
  22. That's a fire I don't want to play with. What would his numbers be against TOR?
  23. @alexspeier Alex Cora says that game reports on Ryan Brasier suggest similar fastball/slider pitch data to last year - despite poor results (8R in 3G). ‘He’s getting close to joining the team.’
