  1. another decent outing by Fitts. Hope springs eternal that there is actually somebody in this organization that can pitch.
  2. The young guys needed to learn what a 162 game season is like. They are basically done but hopefully got that much out of this train wreck season. That said, I don't see how the Sox can depend on Story staying in the lineup in 2025 and so much of the hope for 2025 appears to depend on Story.
  3. What is Rafi still doing in these games. Who are we kidding?
  4. His swing is a bottom hand swing. His top hand is mostly just guiding the bat to the ball. So all the viciousness in his swing is coming by way of that front side.
  5. Rafi is struggling to swing. You can see it. He is trying to take his usual hack and it looks like a wet noodle. Now here is the bad part....if he has shoulder surgery, forget seeing that swing again next year IF EVER.
  6. I have never seen a player look more like he was running in molasses than O'Neil. He is a free agent after this season I believe. He is probably looking for more money than the Sox are willing to pay thank God. If he wants to take DH money and stay out of the field, that might work. Sox can move the "other slow guy" Masa . Frankly, I want them both gone and the catcher. Get some arms. We can't pitch and if you can't pitch almost at all you won't win enough to matter.
  7. Depending on Story staying off the IL for 2025 is madness. Heard OB say the other day "If story can play 140 games". He then went on to build a 2025 around that. Madness.....Madness
  8. Pen was always going to be the death of the 2024 Sox. Not all that impressed with the rotation either regardless of the hot start.
  9. Anything that keeps OB from telling me that some player or another is batting 1000 with with a monster OPS for that last 5 games is fine by me. A few games ago, the Sox booth crew finally gave up. Their broadcasts are almost blissful as a result.
  10. That the RS could not sweep the woeful WS when they clearly had to sort of says it all I think.
  11. Would not be surprised if we figure out Wong is a waste of time also.
  12. Masa and he both need to go. The backup catcher we got from Toronto....gone. The geriatric bullpen....outta here Story stays but likely will be back on the shelf two months into next season.
  13. Can't get him outta' town fast enough for my liking.
  14. Correct me if I am wrong but your outlook appears to hinge on Story staying healthy. I would not bet the house on that. You might end up out in the cold. I actually do not think Story can stay healthy and don't think 2025 hinges on it either. Our pitching SUCKs and it SUCKS right where ML baseball as played today can't SUCK....the bullpen. We have plenty of developing everyday players IMO. We do not have a team leader. Its not Rafi and its not going to be Casas or Duran. This team will need a team leader that plays every day, wants the roll and can fit into the roll. IMO we should get rid of our current DH and get a new DH to both fill the role of DH and be the team leader.
  15. Oh and there were a couple of comments about O'Neil made during this game that I could not respond to because I was so irritated as it was. But, O'Neil cannot get outta here fast enough for my liking. He is a jackrabbit in the field and unless the pitcher does not pipe a ball right down main st....he is meh at the plate.
  16. Which we could all see with our own eyes. I suspect the Sox front office could see it as well. If Cora is playing in game shenanigans which is what you are suggesting, that is not helpful. As I said, if he wanted to pull this crap, he should have just moved on from the Red Sox. It would have been easy for him to do. Instead he took chump change to stay. I don't know why. But shenanigans from the dugout and taking chump change in a new contract don't jive.
  17. Wong did not help things. I have no idea what he thinks he is doing back there.
  18. Cora might be but to me that is flat stupid and useless. We can all see. We all have eyes. If Cora wanted to send a message to management he just should have moved on from here instead of taking their contract offer. He even capitulated for chump change compared to what he could have gotten. And If it gets around that he is trying to send this sort of "message" to management he may well have signed the highest paying contract he is ever going to sign going forward.
  19. That's true...but tonight represents a complete collapse by a ML team. They get paid too much for that s***. From the Manager on down, they have been s***. The starter gave up 4 in the first and I guess figured the pressure was off after that. They manage to score 3 runs into the 9th which somehow seems like a triumph based on their usual summer hitting swoon. Then the Manager has to contribute to the show exhibits the puke bullpen which complies....NATURALLY And the cherry on top, they will now be back to 500 after tonight......LA
  20. As I said last night.....the NESN booth team caved last night. When you lose them, you know you're done. They are done
  21. This is now officially embarrassing.
  22. Sox pen fails again. Why in Gods name did Cora come with Hill. Hill is old, has already pitched too much. Then again why come with your closer in the 8th and then bring Hill to bail him out.
  23. The Sox were due for an iffy start from the rotation. But in truth, the pen is so bad that they are unable to handle any number of innings. As soon as one of the middle relievers come in bombs start to go off.
  24. Batting Practice pitch from Martin goes where Batting Practice pitches go.
