    If the team gives you a 3 run lead in the top of the first, don't give it right back. Seems easy enough? Not for Buehler.

    If there was a problem in the locker room, there'd be quotes. They would have found dirt and trashed him on the way out the door. They didn't find anything and made up the most useless stuff they could find that amounted to nothing. "He was mad at Kristian!" "Did Kristian or anyone in the clubhouse know about it?" "No." "🧐"

    Papi just had to live stream a bunch of unanswered texts to prove some sort of point. What point? IDK. They asked Devers about it and Devers said "I love Papi. I know he loves the media. He can say anything he wants." Papi can keep running out there for the FO and saying what he wants, but it just looks like sour grapes to me.

    I'm going to retroactively agree with all the people that were calling on the Sox to move Mayer to 1b!
  5. mvp 78
    Not a good 2b is understating how awful he has been at 2b so far. He would be horrific at SS.

    For the 15th time this season (excluding Opening Day), the Boston Red Sox are at .500. The 2024 squad was at .500 on 23 occasions. At this pace, they could surpass last year's total around August 19th.

    Too late for me to watch the whole thing unless a no hitter is going.

    I don’t care about fielding percentages. Prior to a few weeks ago, I would have never posted it. I just know we have a poster or two who are stuck on it.

    If he played 70 years later, he would have sold thousands of shirseys.

    Buehler 3/29-4/9 9.1 IP, 8.68 ERA, 6.39 FIP, 6.92 k/9, 0.99 bb/9, 1.61 WHIP 4/10-5/25 31.2 IP, 2.56 ERA, 3.89 FIP, 8.36 k/9, 3.46 bb/9, 1.18 WHIP 5/26-6/17 18 IP, 10.50 ERA, 7.35 FIP, 8.50 k/9, 4.5 bb/9, 2.22 WHIP He had a nice little stretch in April and May, but he's been dreadful since Memorial Day. Batters are just teeing off on him. He may get a reprieve tonight as LAA are 24th in wRC+. LAA is the second worst fielding team in MLB, just ahead of the Nats per FRV (25th in fielding percentage).

    Bello 3.31 ERA career low 4.42 FIP (4.18 career av.) 4.70 xERA career high 348 xWOBA career high 18.0 K% career low 10.2 BB% career high 94.4mph Fastball velo career low 89.3mph Offspeed velo career high 18.4 whiff% career low 24.4 Out of zone swing% career low 60.6 First pitch strike% career low None of this is good for Bello going forward. 😣

    I think the team would STRUGGLE to find another CBO if they fired Breslow in the next year or two. They'd have to either hand it over to Cora or someone else internally. It'd be a big time shocker. Either move would be. At this point, Cora still is a guy they want around for a long time. I think they wouldn't "fire" Cora, but would move him to a FO position during an upcoming offseason. I think that's the most likely solution.

    No concerns: Chapman, Wilson, Whitlock Usage concerns: Bernardino, Weissert Lots of concerns: Kelly No opinion: Guerrero, Alcala
  15. mvp 78
    He probably appears in WOO late next week and in BOS during the COL series at home. Pitching is a concern. Bullpen is starting to look a little shaky, especially Weissert (last 5: 4 IP, 3 BB, 1 K, 1.75 WHIP).
  16. mvp 78
    And Happy Birthday to Sox legends Aaron Robinson, Marty Barrett, Dusty Cooke and Bill Harris.
  17. mvp 78
    Mayer is a better SS today and should be the Red Sox SS for the next 6 years.
  18. mvp 78
    Looks to not be a pitcher's duel. Maybe Kochanowicz can get these bats going again?
  19. mvp 78
    I don't agree with their calculation of dWAR and how it factors into the total value. His bat has been pretty brutal and his glove has just been ok. FanGraphs gives him an FRV of -2.
  20. mvp 78
    Narvaez C Romy/Toro/Whoever 1B Story 2B Mayer SS Bregman 3B Abreu RF Rafaela CF Anthony LF This is the lineup I'd try to run out as much as possible going forward if I want the best defense on the field.
  21. mvp 78
    Only two fulltime SS's worse than Story right now.
  22. mvp 78
    Pass. I think the defensive metrics are ok for what they are, but when OAA and DRS greatly disagree on a player it's easy to see their limitations. Someday there will be something better I hope. It's similar to how the catch percentage calculation isn't reflective of difficulty the closer a ball reaches the wall.
  23. mvp 78
    It still depends on what the definition of "impact" and "contributor" are! I think there is still expectation that even top 100 guys may flame out, but that there is a greater likelihood of them succeeding or at least having a higher ceiling. Many relievers don't become top 100 guys but can have long careers. Look at the trade from last year: Luis Garcia for Matt Lugo, Ryan Zeferjahn, Niko Kavadas All those guys have played in the majors since the trade. Are they considered contributors? IDK?
  24. mvp 78
    At what point do they stop being "young" though? With this org, they will continue to keep churning the roster it feels like. Duran 28 Narvaez 26 Abreu 26 Casas 25 Toro 28 Hamilton 27 Romy 28 Refsnyder 34 Wong 29 Sogard 27 Sabol 27 Eaton 28 Is 25 even young anymore? That's the prime of most careers.

    Tied for 15th with Nootbar and Altuve. 🙃
