    You'll see one for sure.

    Duran is different because he is now officially a malcontent liability.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Won't get much, but yes.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Sounds like Duran needs to be gone. Up to Brez to pull the trigger.
  5. Bellhorn04
    You're right, we are hitting lefties much better than righties. I think the idea we needed a righty bat developed earlier in the season when Durbin was struggling so badly.
  6. Bellhorn04
    And nobody is really writing them off. Pessimism as a form of copium.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Duran is rewarding my Polly stance again today. 😄
  8. Bellhorn04
    Somebody posted that Breslow already said Mead will be playing 2B. Durbin is short but he's an outstanding third baseman.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Agreed, but the trio of Anthony, Mayer and Campbell have given some ammo to the "prospects are suspects" contingent so far.
  10. Bellhorn04
    My inner Pollyanna says: He's 2 for his last 2, and both hits led to runs. Also, both hits were to the opposite field.
  11. Bellhorn04
    If Duran starts hitting again everyone will shut up. It's the tale as old as time. The bottom line is Breslow/Tracy obviously think they should keep plugging him in the lineup and hope he turns it around. I'm sure they're looking hard at his mechanics and trying to figure out what the issue is.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I meant the two years combined.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I finally learned the only solution is to put him on ignore. Otherwise you waste a lot of your precious time engaging in these futile back-and-forths that he is obviously the only one who enjoys.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Plus it's not necessarily the recommended move for one of your best hitters to do anything but swing away in that particular situation.
  15. Bellhorn04
    He was the team's best player for the years 2024-2025.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Freddie Mercury works too.

    Tracy

    Another Weaver story, but this one comes from Jim Palmer. Palmer said Weaver's idea of a mound conference was yelling at him "Hey, are you f**king trying?"

    Yeah, just ask Spaceman. Lee swears he was blackballed out of the game for it, I suspect that's the truth.

    I noticed some of the humorists on SoSH had a running joke about his mustache and Tolle's mustache, with references to young Joseph Stalin.

    Earl Weaver said his job was to make up the lineup card and get out of the way. He also said his job was to not screw up all the wonderful work the front office had done the winter before. I don't think he fully believed these things, but they were good lines.

    Tracy

    Bellhorn04 replied to L J's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk

    The impact of the manager is the most intangible of intangibles. But I do think Tracy has to be doing some stuff right for the team to turn it around the way it has.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Now we need a Tracy equivalent...but the Tr is a challenge. First thing I thought of was Tracy Triumph, but quickly realized it's pretty bad.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Agreed, but we did have one or two people (JoeB for sure) pointing out that our Pythagorean record was better than the actual record and that Breslow's offseason moves were actually pluses, and that it was weird that this wasn't translating to wins.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The fact that Tracy decided to make Yoshida a platoon DH and just leave him in that spot all season may be indicative of his smarts as a manager.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Crazy game though. In 2004 the Sox played .500 ball for about a 3 month stretch, which infamously led to Shaughnessy calling them "frauds".
