  1. Can't have everything we want. This is huge progress IMHO.
  2. FLOPS is yours and you can have it. I'll be disappointed. And I have said some critical things the last few days in the "Take a bow, Mr. Breslow" thread.
  3. So you are promising that if the make the playoffs you will not call them Flops again until at least 2026.
  4. Getting there is my only real concern. Once you get there anything can happen and usually does. The offense is the team's biggest concern right now obviously but it sure helps having Abreu back.
  5. They're trying to find something that fixes some important calls without totally offending the purists. The test run indicated that it shouldn't be overly time-consuming. Let's see how it works.
  6. If it ended after last night the Sox, Tigers and Guardians are in and the Stros are out.
  7. So they need to win 3 more games than us.
  8. The question is why you keep calling the 2025 team FLOPS when they haven't flopped yet. And there's no possible intelligent answer to that question.
  9. I see no similarity between the umpiring profession and the medical profession. We don't need more umpires. And the umpires we have are generally good. But calling balls and strikes 100% accurately is impossible and this gives everyone a chance to fix a few calls every game.
  10. And they traded Devers in the middle of June, so they had a lot of time in which they knew they were down a big bat. They might have been held up by the simple question of whether they were actually a legit playoff contender or not.
  11. All I can really say is I do think the front office is out of kicking the can down the road mode.
  12. It would be great but I don't know how much pressure it would remove. Depends on what other teams do of course.
  13. I understand trading Devers, but like you say, trading him and doing nothing to replace his offense is the questionable part.
  14. It's just very unusual for a team with playoff aspirations to trade a starting pitcher early in the season for prospects. I can't remember very many instances of it. I don't really remember a trade like this ever, in fact.
  15. Agreed. But man, Priester is 13-2 with a 3.25 ERA and will pitch about 160 innings. This is not a feather in Brez's cap. And Sox fans are getting tired of the Longview stuff.
  16. No, more like I'm afraid you may be right.
  17. Major ouch on that last paragraph.
  18. If the Sox miss the playoffs again Breslow may not be around to see any benefits of the trade. It was a very risky thing for him to do IMHO.
  19. Not sure about counting Mayer, he's still an unknown quantity. The loss of the other two at the same time is huge. I think if there's a criticism it's that he subtracted a big bat and didn't do anything to replace that bat.
  20. They probably have as good a chance of making it to the Series as any team in the AL.
