I'll say this, in spite of all their shortcomings the team has fought hard almost every game. It's not that guys aren't trying, there are just too many that aren't very good (by MLB standards).
-
As good as I do right now. Because we're going to be seeing plenty more of the David Hamilton types.
-
Some guys fall in love with the "Sell high" concept.
-
Every second pitcher has TJ surgery now. There are no Greg Madduxes any more. Not even Verlander or Scherzer could stay healthy.
-
It's not a strong chance. We're trotting out lineups game after game with one truly proven hitter in Devers. If Casas is back soon that could change, but I don't think the prognosis on that happening is very good.
-
His injury situation is pure luck one way or the other. But lately he's been pitching like the Sale of old, total domination.
-
I wouldn't worry about it. Probably a much better chance he gets traded at the deadline and is forgotten about.
-
I can honestly say this is the first season in a very long time, maybe ever, that Red Sox losses don't cut me very deep. Part of me clearly wants to see the owners and front office embarrassed. I'm not proud of it but I can't seem to help it.
-
That could be part of it. I'm leaning more toward the advancements in pitching technology and training. You just don't see a lot of 89 MPH fastballs any more. And the sweeper seems to be a deadly new weapon. Dalbec is not an MLB hitter, but he went from striking out 30% + of the time to 50% + of the time. Grissom makes much more contact but so far it's been pretty feeble contact. The fact he hasn't drawn a walk in 41 PA's is notable. You'd think just by accident you'd make it to 4 balls once in in that time.

I appreciate the inclusion of the F for Henry.
-
Rafaela leads the Sox in RBI with 23. The Dodgers have 6 guys with more than 23 RBI.
-
Why are you so fond of that disingenuous thing? Surely you can surmise from the succeeding sentences in that post that I'm expressing concern about whether this guy can hit major league pitching in the year 2024 or not. My personal watch right now is whether he will have a better OPS after 59 PA's than Dalbec did.
-
Breslow followed the formula - white guy, bland name, RH power LOL
-
The Grissom Watch is on. We know he has plenty of reasons to get off to a slow start and all, but his first 41 PA's have been rather atrocious. 1 extra base hit and 0 walks.
-
"In some capacity" covers a lot of ground. They keep him informed, I'm sure. But I can't believe Bloom re-signed Kike for $10 mill because Cora and Kike were pals...
-
Can we cue up some more Dombrowski talk? Phils seem to be doing OK.
-
One never knew exactly what Bloom was thinking or doing, that is for sure.
-
Dime a dozen!
-
Holy Human Rabbit's Foot, Batman! Seriously, that is a pretty cool run you're having.
-
Not to mention the Amazing Criswell. Craig is doing so well with the pitching that he'll soon be able to turn his attention to the offense.
-
Damn, I obliviously jinxed him.
-
Have to give Breslow credit for snagging a couple of promising ones in Fitts and Sandlin without giving up much.
-
What struck me a little last year was that Yoshida was actually being criticized much LESS than JD Martinez was in his final year with the Sox, even though he wasn't really doing better and was being paid about the same. I think a lot of that had to do with people being tired of JD - Yoshida at least was a new face...
-
I can't imagine who.
-
But Yoshida's money for this year isn't quite dead yet. I think that's where the difference is.
