  1. They would have been better off with the same budgets if they: a) Kept Betts b) Let Sale and Bogaerts walk c) Hired a CBO who made better moves
  2. You're not going to get vintage every year. Betts's lowest bWAR in full seasons since 2015 has been 4.1 in 2021.
  3. Disagree about 2025. He had a 4.9 bWAR and a 3.4 fWAR. His SS defense has turned out to be much better than average. As for this season, we would need prime Ortiz and prime Manny to save us.
  4. The 2026 team is making Breslow's architectural skills look like crap.
  5. I would disagree on Betts, because he has earned his contract in previous years and it's too early to write him off this year. The Bogaerts and Devers contracts look pretty bad.
  6. Chapman's option for 2027 is also a vesting option, if he pitches 40 innings and passes a year end physical he is retained for 2027 at $13 million.
  7. OK, but you're also saying that you think Devers would be putting up better stats with the Red Sox, right? So in this case you're kind of arguing against his actual numbers.
  8. Data is very important in baseball. But it's also a very weird game.
  9. In 2026 Devers has a .706 OPS and a 101 OPS+ and a 0.2 bWAR. Sox fans wouldn't be happy with that. Our offense is horrible and we're desperate. But Devers is not having much of a season.
  10. It's ownership, in my opinion. And it's hiring CBOs with zero experience, hoping to get lucky it seems.
  11. 1 seems like a normal random result for a sample of 3.
  12. Very weak table-turner. For the record I don't really think you're a daytime drinker in spite of the bad comparison of Gray and Durbin to Harrison and Bregman.
  13. One of the all-time great sour reactions by a coach in any sport.
  14. Durbin is a good example of how OPS becomes less and less meaningful the worse the guy is. 542 almost looks productive!
  15. Recent numbers being a little better than less recent numbers is small consolation when you're at 190/254/288.
  16. Hey, at least they're giving us some statistical milestones to keep an eye on. 😝
  17. The Sox offense seemed to be picking it up a bit, but... They remain perilously close to being the lowest-scoring team in the game.
  18. But on the season he's slugging .288 and his home run was off a position player.
  19. "Harrison got lit up and Devers went 0 for 4, so the night wasn't a total loss." - Shane Schadenfreude
  20. Have you been drinking? Harrison fWAR 1.8 Bregman 1.0 = 2.8. Gray 0.8 Durbin 0.0 = 0.8. Harrison bWAR 2.7 Bregman 1.3 = 4.0. Gray 0.8 Durbin 0.7 = 1.5.
  21. Harrison has been one of the best pitchers in baseball. That's the attention-getter.
  22. Nobody was expecting us to be 27-36 on June 8 with the coaching staff long gone.
  23. No, but he's one of the top closers in the game and not under control for 2027, and the Sox are 27-36. He's a pretty good bet to be traded next month.
  24. Breslow seems to have liked Durbin too much. As of now the trade looks like a disaster.
  25. Well, he is kind of the Captain Obvious #1 pick for a player to be moved at the deadline if the team is out of it.
