Now I’m the one getting critiqued for word choice!!! Cancel culture run amok!!!
-
He did a decent job with the Cubs. Bailey did a decent job with the Giants. We'll see how it works out here.
-
Cora is a very good manager in a lame duck year who will be managing a better team next year. Sad.
-
@BOSSportsGordo Hard to not like what you saw from Richard Fitts today against the defending champs: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 Ks Good velocity, nice slider, felt in command. Gonna be an interesting guy to watch this year. Posted this here so that I don't get yelled at elsewhere for being too trusting.
-
That's the rumor since he really had no Spring Training.
-
Maybe? 1b's aren't really bringing in the dough the way they used to.
-
Prior to BOS season opener or is it too late already since LAD had their opener?
-
It's not like they are having Weissert take over closing duties or looked at Walter's ST numbers and pushed him into the MLB rotation. The difference between Bernardino and Weissert isn't that great. The call was really between releasing Joely and keeping Bernardino on the 26 man or keeping Joely and optioning Bernardino. Not sure they need Joely AND Bernardino.

So is everyone else.

I don't think anyone is saying that trust Bailey and Crag blindly with the pitching staff. I think, for the most part, they/we/I just believe that it should be better than it was under Bloom, because it really couldn't get much worse than what we saw the past few years. They were s*** last year, maybe they can reach boring mediocrity this year or next? Nobody here thinks this is a top 10 pitching staff or even has a future trending that direction. I haven't seen anyone make that case. I guess I don't know where you're pulling out this "trust" issue from. Should we be ranting about Bailey? He hasn't done much yet to rant about. Should we be praising Crag? I don't think anyone has praised him at all aside from being glad that he put some additional focus on pitching development which was grossly ignored for the past decade plus. Most of the opinions have been thoroughly in the middle of the road. If the Sox are going to be under Henry's misery thumb for the next few years, it's hard to get pissed off at anyone except for the people signing the checks and approving the budget.

@BOSSportsGordo Nick Yorke will begin the season in AA, per @bradfo . Gets called up once Grissom is added to BOS roster?
-
And if we all believe this is a last place team, what exactly is our trust meter set to? It's not set very high?
-
Just day dreaming about putting each one of the Van Helsing clan into their graves.
-
I mean, we're talking about LUKE VOIT, not someone that is exactly a catch.
-
I wondered if you had taken Bernie deep.
-
We've seen some good ST results so far. I'm not sold that this team is better than a last place team so how much trust is that really putting into Crag? I think almost all of us believe this is a last place team. We can like what we see being done on the fringes of the roster and realize it's not really going to pay dividends this year. We got nothing else to root for. Does that mean we have blind TRUST? We're excited to see baseball and some of us choose to not live in misery 24/7. The baseball will most likely be mediocre at best. Feel free to get mad about us being interested about the progress of a middle reliever or seeing Garrett Whitlock add a new pitch. At the end of the day, we'll all be rooting for the same last place team.

Kicking the extension in early reduces the AAV though.
-
I really don't see them signing Jordan Montgomery at all. 5 year deal? No way Jose! If they were really going to sign him, it would have happened by now. At one point, I think Bradford had the likelihood at 10% and that still seems too high to me. If there are two teams in the bidding, Montgomery is going to the other team just because they probably have a better short term outlook.
-
Without 3B experience, no.
-
It'd be one way to get around the roster limitations.
-
Sure why not?
-
Was this slow pitch softball in VT?
-
Double agent!
-
It would make sense for part of the hype train that I'm starting to see?
-
FO's typically don't like to go all the way up to the cap at the beginning of the season due to in season maneuvers. Also, the Casas extension is hanging out there in theory and I think they'd like to get that done and would rather do that instead of bringing Montgomery in. They brought Giolito in as the cheap version of Montgomery. Sox probably wanted Montgomery in the first place, but settled for Giolito due to ownership restraint.
