Nah. Everyone being miserable makes these seasons painful.

Betts RF, Benintendi LF, Martinez DH, Bogaerts SS, Devers 3B, Pearce 1B, Núñez 2B, Bradley CF, León C

@PeteAbe Eovaldi faced Holt and Chavis for what amounted to an inning with the coaches, trainers, rotation mates and others watching. He appeared to have the usual giddy-up to his fastball.

Good one.

Mal gets a pass from me.

He's had a couple of good throws from RF showcasing his arm, but that's about it.

DBacks Twitter is not happy with Swi. If Swihart doesn’t start performing he will be DFA’d Why is Blake Swihart still on this team he’s worse than John Ryan Murphy Swihart, good gatch. Lol. At least he makes up for dropped fly balls with his fantastic offense. I am so sick of Blake Swihart Blake Swihart finna get killed on D’backs Twitter in 5... 4... 3... Blake Swihart has no idea what a strike is. .@RedSox Do you want Swihart back? #Dbacks #RedSoxNation Seriously how much would the Dbacks lose by dropping Swihart and bring up Yasmany? Why is Blake Swihart still getting starts

Casas had one regular tater, Durran had an inside the oven version. Kyle Hart became the first pitcher in Triple-A to throw a nine-inning shutout this season as he stifled the IronPigs. Making his Triple-A debut, the 26-year-old left-hander allowed only five hits and struck out eight without walking a batter. Including his Double-A stats, Hart now has a 2.51 ERA and 68 strikeouts over 64 2/3 innings. Signed for $5,000 as a 19th-round pick in 2016, Kyle Hart impressed in smaller sample sizes over his first two years in the system. 2018 was his first full season, and he logged 138 2/3 innings with Portland after not topping 100 innings in any previous season even going back to college. He predictably hit a wall in the middle of last season, but he was able to bounce back and pitch to a 2.06 ERA over his last 48 innings. He carried that success forward to this season, where he has been arguably the top performing starter in the system, with Thaddeus Ward as his main competition. Hart has increased the usage of his slider and cutter this season, and that has allowed his strikeouts per nine innings to jump from 6.49 in 2018 to 9.46 in 2019.

Lololol

Like you believing Adam Conley is a decent pitcher?

People stanning for goddamn Adam Conley is a new low for this place. He's a f***ing nobody.

Adam Conley is a step up from who on this staff exactly? He's worse than Hembree or Workman. He's basically a AAAA guy. Those guys are irrelevant. Their "control" doesn't matter. Who cares if you have an additional 2 years on a AAAA guy? You can get randos like Walden to come up and give you the same production.

Last year, the Cubs got Brandon Kintzler for a 23 year old A ball pitcher that was nowhere near regarded like Dalbec.

Yes, realism is only found in people that agree with yourself. Dalbec's value as a masher in AA is higher than what Adam Conley (29 year old mop up reliever on a s***** Marlins team) is. Steamer and depth charts have him as a 0 fWAR guy. Dalbec is worth more than that and it's not even up for discussion. Conley is no better than a AAAA reliever. Sox got Addison Reed for spare parts that were far less than a straight up trade for Dalbec. You're vastly overstating what it would take to land some mediocre bullpen arms. But I'm not being realistic though because my opinion conflicts with yours.

It's not my fault that you didn't have the high ground and you still tried to attack. Sad!

https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=14457&position=P Disgusting. No thank you. That'd be a horrible trade.

@SoxProspects Following Following @SoxProspects More #RedSox announce several moves, including first MLB promotion for LHP Josh Taylor, recall of RHP Colten Brewer, option of RHP Travis Lakins to Pawtucket, and placement of 1B Mitch Moreland on the 10-day IL.

At least it's not LAST DAMN PLACE.

Chatham needs to get seasoning at 2B in AA before they call him up. He's on a bit of a hot streak, but has really been swinging well. Duran hasn't even had 200 AB's in high A ball. Need to pump the brakes a little on him. There's no way he's coming up anytime soon. To get anyone off the 40 man, you have to put them through waivers. If the Sox really need someone, there are a few guys that you could either get through waivers or at least wouldn't come back to bite you if they went elsewhere.

I didn't realize Manny Ramirez had deferred salary.

Sandoval's too for that matter.

Pedroia's salary would sure look nice added to the pen.

Cora isn't a part of roster creation. Not sure what else he could do.

His pitching is better than your personality.
