  1. They were 4th in runs on June 9th. You think they'll be 4th in runs on September 30th?
  2. From what I've heard is that Bloom did talk to players more than Breslow and did try to have more of a connection with people. He was available for the team when Vaz was traded. Breslow apparently traveled all the way to Seattle, but when reporters asked players if they've spoken with Breslow, not one say they had. C'mon man...
  3. Yeah, it goes back to Lester and "not signing pitchers over 30." This ownership just doesn't know how to be a big market ballclub.
  4. Averaging 1.7 runs/game without Devers! Sox currently on a 2.5 runs/game over the last 8 (28th in runs, 2nd in K%).
  5. Duran, Abreu, Rafaela Any of them could go and I don't think it'd greatly impact the overall longterm outlook of the franchise. They are all good players, but all replaceable.
  6. It wasn't my post! He hit 3rd in 80 Games in 2015.
  7. I don't see any disrespect in those comments. Quite the leap in logic to make that claim.
  8. I watched the GRE game and Holobetz pitched fairly well. Seemed to have some swing and miss. Offense didn't do anything. Arias looks slow running the bases to me.
  9. I figured something must have happened because I saw a bunch of people say he needed to be called up. 🙄
  10. I think that was bad sentence structure and trying to say it took four years for Bogey to bat at the top of the lineup. Pedroia was just an aside.
  11. If Breslow had not lied in his year end presser and said that he would talk to Devers prior to any changes to his position and subsequently lied to Devers about saying they weren't interested in signing Bregman or trading for Arenado and Devers was going to be the 3b or even spoke to Devers prior to ST, Devers would still be a Red Sox.
  12. I was just thinking in terms of day to day performance, not overall health. Every pitcher seems to be a ticking timebomb.
  13. Sure it happens, it just feels like it's happening to the Sox at a very high percentage right now. To me, I kinda expect the FA success rate to be 50%. Sox are at the losing end of things over the past few years. When factoring in things like the Sale trade, Breslow's tenure hasn't exactly been a slam dunk either. There's a good reason to remain skeptical and not be all in on their analytics only approach.
  14. Too much of a rollercoaster ride, which makes sense coming of TJS. Can't trust those guys.
  15. I want them to spend money on the right players. Just spending money because you have it is a silly thing to do. Crochet? Good extension. Bello, Rafaela and Campbell are up for debate at this point! Giolito? Buehler? You need to be able to find the right players to give the money to. People complain about Masa and Story's contracts all the time. Sox haven't spent money wisely in recent memory.
  16. None of the extensions have looked good so far, including Cora's. The Giants are psyched about this trade as they are unable to lure big time FA hitters to their team and this was a way to get a bat into their lineup. I don't think they are worried about the last 3-4 years of that contract. Posey may not be GM by then. They've only had 1 playoff appearance in the last 8 years. They are hoping to reverse that trend. We'll see how Posey's old school style works in comparison to Breslow's.
  17. The Betts trade was franchise altering because of the trajectory the Sox are now on. Raffy is a very frustrating trade for many reasons, but ultimately just another notch on the bedpost where the fanbase has been getting reamed by ownership over the past 6 years.

  19. Walked the first batter in the 2nd and was pulled.
  20. 27 pitches in the first inning for Houck.
  21. We know he can’t at this point. At his best, he’s a 2 WAR guy.
  22. 3 hits, 3 runs Take these wins when you get them. Making up for bad luck loses along the way.
  23. Devers, a guy being paid franchise altering money, has no right to know the plans about his future? That doesn’t make sense to me.
  24. It’s been reported that there weren’t issues with Raffy in the clubhouse. It hasn’t been reported that players were upset with Raffy in the way you presented it. The worst we heard was “he was just one of 26 and we’re moving on.”
