I think if he wanted to tear it down, he would have. I think he wants to compete and add from the farm. He wants to minimize the roller coaster we've seen since 99.
-
If the prices were that high though, why not take advantage and continue to add pieces for the future?
-
Agreed. The prices did seem a little steeper than normal. I'd rather they punt instead of cratering their organization for a flawed MLB team.
-
How many times have we heard something similar recently? This is the death rattle of their playoff chances.
-
It's a legitimate concern. As Vaz ages, his production will crater. Who will take his place? Wong isn't there. Plawecki doesn't seem to be the guy. Other options on the farm: Ronaldo Hernandez AA - hits the ball a ton (had a great July, but has been not great otherwise), but is a poor catcher Kole Cottam AA - most likely an up and down 3rd Catcher role Jaxx Groshans A+ - bat first, glove second guy Jonathan Diaz A - tools to be an MLB guy, but is years and years away Nathan Hickey FCL - similar to Hernandez and Groshans above, maybe moved off C to 1b or 3b While there are more intriguing guys in the org today than a few years ago, it's a whole lot of question marks who really aren't going to be knocking on the door in 2022 and maybe not even in 2023. I wonder if they end up extending Vaz at some point.

The results have not been great. Well, I thought this team would be about an 86 win team. They started off ahead and are now cooling off. Maybe they wind up around 86 wins. I think many people here would have been happy at that on 4/1. To me, if you're in first place at the deadline, you have to go for it. You aren't guaranteed that positioning over the next few years. Trying to be cute about the lux tax is going to get them in trouble.

At least they are just ripping the bandaid off quickly and not waiting for September.
-
Bloom should have traded away assets at the deadline.

If the pen doesn’t come around, it won’t matter if they make the WC.

He did great with mediocre lineups.
-
Sure.

In my lifetime, it's Jimy Williams.

Cora is a very good manager. Tito is the GOAT for now. 2018 was the GOAT year, but Tito is the GOAT manager.

Just blame my vertigo.
-
Editor to be fired.
-
Well, please don't besmirch Tito by lumping him in with Farrell.
-
We are all wondering...

Bases loaded with no outs. Zero runs. Good job.
-
You aren't using data correctly if your hand picked sample works in your favor, but the overall big picture leans a different direction.

Sox bullpen is which of the following movies: Big Trouble in Little China Nothing but Trouble

@IanCundall Since Tanner Houck has moved into the rotation, here are his batters faced per start: 18 (7/22), 15 (7/28), 16 (8/7), 21 (8/12), 18 (8/17). Today, he got pulled at only 58 p. w/the top of the order coming up. Very clear the Red Sox don’t want hitters seeing him for a third time.
-
So about Andriese...
-
Robles in. MVP out.
-
Next time. Maybe.
