  1. It wouldn't have been to make the money work... Though they may have tried to trade Devers at some point too? IDK.
  2. I did NOT say that. I said that yesterday though. Away from Coors, he's serviceable and it could be a sneaky game that gets away from the Sox. I think the Sox go hog wild on Senzatela tomorrow though. That one gets Mayer back on track. Freeland AWAY 2025: 4.50 ERA, 726 OPS, 1.28 WHIP, 3.69 FIP, 31.8 Hard% Freeland HOME 2025: 6.69 ERA, 946 OPS, 1.94 WHIP, 3.96 FIP, 42.6 Hard%
  3. If they signed Soto, they would have dealt multiple everyday players to make the lineup work.
  4. With Devers: 37-36 (50.7%, 82 win pace) W/O Devers: 10-9 (52.6%, 85 win pace)
  5. Since 2022, Freeland is 127th out of 134 in ERA for qualified starters. He's also 130th in BABIP, 129th in LOB%, 131st in WHIP, 132nd in Hard% and 125th in Run Support/9. 😎🍺
  6. Rockies extended Freeland for 5/64.5 in '22 and has another year to go. They're going to get their moneys worth.
  7. Gio is going to be really close to the 140 IP.
  8. It was 3-11 in the 3 starts. No need to try to correct me just to get it wrong. 😑
  9. We had a dumb Ellsbury vs JBJ post on here for years... People just can't move on OR TAKE A VACATION FROM THIS BOARD FOR A WEEK WHEN THEY SHOULD BE WITH THEIR FAMILY INSTEAD OF US.
  10. Kyle Harrison and Eduardo Rivera pitching tonight. Since Rivera is newer to the system: https://www.masslive.com/redsox/2025/07/how-red-sox-beat-other-clubs-to-6-foot-7-lefty-prospect-who-hits-97-mph.html
  11. It worked? I mean, I guess? He didn't have any monster games or anything. 3-11, 2 2b's, 5 K, 0 BB. You could have had Marcelo play for Eaton, go 0-11 and the Sox win each game.
  12. 1. They are hitting well now, but you have to consider the opponent and this team has had considerable slumps in the past. As you say later in your post, the offense will have a tougher task in the next few weeks. 2. The bad defense is HARD to overlook. 3. Agree about the rotation in terms of Crochet, Gio and Bello. Fitts is young and decent as a back end guy. I no longer watch Buehler starts. Refuse. 4. The good manager has been around for several poor seasons. 5. Not going to get hot and bothered by an additional 200 people at the ballpark TBH.
  13. KC is more of a reel mower. Kind of finicky. Needs just the right conditions.
  14. Vlad 2.2 fWAR Devers 2.0 fWAR The Devers contract is the one that's under water though according to BTV!
  15. He's a replacement level player that won't be around very long. In a few years we'll be like "remember that guy?"
  16. I heard that Toro mows over young players that are trying to grow on the field.
  17. If he can be a 7th/8th inning guy, I'm fine with it. He also may end up DFA'd and whatever. I think the real get is supposed to be Harrison, but we'll see. A lot to work on for him.
  18. It was on the skids even prior to Devers leaving. It's fair to track when the offense isn't performing. From June 10 - June 27: 28th in runs 29th in wRC+ 29th in K% After June 28th (TOR/CIN/WSN/COL, 5 of 9 games with 9+ runs): 1st in runs 1st in wRC+ 4th in K%
  19. Please don't try to actively pick fights on the forum. Thanks. Let's just move on.
  20. I think the problem is that they need to start trotting the backup out more than once every fifth day to give Narvaez some rest. Maybe not 60/40, but 70/30? He's been so valuable and he'll need his legs as they get deeper into the season. The most games he's ever played in a season is 100. He's on track for 122. It doesn't seem like a big difference, but if they do sneak into the playoffs, he's going to be worth TF out and he's a huge contributor for them.
  21. If the Sox were in a division with a the White Sox, A's, Nats and Rockies, they'd still somehow wind up near .500 at the end of the year. They went 10-3 before last year's ASB and 8-1 before the '23 ASB. I'm not getting sucked in. I've seen it before.
  22. Bullpen or 1b? I think bullpen is almost always something that even middling teams add to at the deadline like the Sox did last season. Hard to really compare TBH. There are a lot of pitchers on the IL that could come back (Houck, Burdi, Hendriks, Guerrero, Sandoval) and the Sox may see them as late season adds to the pen. They could also add Harrison, Criswell and Moran. IDK. Toro is fading at 1B (611 OPS since 6/13), but they may add Campbell or even Jordan at some point. They seem to have better depth at those positions than they do at C where Connor Wong is a -0.5 bWAR because the baseball gods decided his good luck last year with the bat needed to reverse quickly and painfully (392 OPS, EV 84.7).
  23. Nobody said they'd value Mullins OVER Tolle. 🙄
