  1. Yeah, don't you check your notifications? https://talksox.com/forums/topic/89380-a-realistic-view-of-the-2025-red-sox-part-ii/page/84/#comments
  2. He did this before Breslow so I'm going to say he's just passing the buck here.
  3. Red Sox starters with a higher OBP since 2023: Bregman Refsnyder (210 G) Devers Narvaez Toro Casas Turner Yoshida OBP is more important than batting average for a leadoff guy. That Duran had a similar OBP to Tyler O'Neill, isn't quite a ringing endorsement.
  4. If Anthony sits all three games, I'll be onboard the fire Cora bandwagon.
  5. Perales will pitch this year, but not in the BoSox rotation. If anything, it would be a turnaround from Bello and Dobbins and Fitts continuing and upward trajectory. I don't think Sandlin, Early, Monegro or other internal starters really have a shot until '26. Uberstine, Murphy and Penrod could all be called up to help the pen as they start to struggle.
  6. I don't know about the Strawberry thing. In his AS years, he averaged 32 HR, 95 RBI, 86 R, 23 SB, 4.7 bWAR each year. He was really good in his 20's. His age 30 season just saw him fall off a cliff, but he never saw an All Star Game at that age.
  7. Any "buying" would just be clearing out Rule 5 guys that they don't want to add to the 40 man in the offseason.
  8. Right, but they weren't buying and selling at the deadline. They sold at the deadline, got hot afterwards and made the postseason. It proof that the Sox could deal Chapman, Duran and someone else, but still get hot enough to make the playoffs anyway. So why not just sell?
  9. Tigers were 52-57 at the deadline. They didn't think they were making the playoffs at that point.
  10. Misner can't win because (1) he doesn't play against the Sox enough 1361 OPS and (b) you didn't even spell his name right.
  11. I could see pinch hitting against a tougher lefty matchup, but I don't think it should be an automatic switch they way Cora treats some of these other LHBs.
  12. He shouldn't sit Anthony more than one game as Anthony has always hit LHP well. Mayer may well sit all 3 games. We'll see.
  13. Sox have a history of taking Yarbrough to the woodshed. Don't mess this one up.
  14. -14 DRS for Campbell. This is why they were willing to try him at 1B. He just may not be a MIFer going forward unless he can absolutely mash.
  15. I'm not sure I want him PLAYING against LHP. I'd rather Anthony in there. He doesn't need to POST like Cora wants him to.
  16. If I got a vote: Carlos Narvaez Kristian Campbell (stuffing the box so that the Sox get a PIP) Jacob Wilson Shane Smith Mayer (I think he could make a run at it actually)
  17. Thumbs up is what exactly? I'm double thumbs up on selling right now.
  18. That catcher has a 14% CS rate. However, all the steals were off the starter Lagrange. He must stare the catcher down and not hold runners on.
  19. This needs to be said a little bit louder for the people in the back.
  20. Is O'Neill Cruz a classic leadoff hitter? Ian Happ? There are lots of guys hitting leadoff that aren't your classic leadoff type guys. I think that was my point, not that I was ranking the leadoff hitters better than Duran.
  21. Bowden has very little credibility ever since he has been out of an MLB front office. He knows about as much as you or me.
