Yes, that definitely helps. Craig has done a great job putting this staff together. 😉 -
Now you're just rattling. Lowe has proven to be a good pickup. He's had a solid career and was having a bad season, that happens to plenty of good players.
-
If our needs were not met, how are we in a good position to make the playoffs?
-
90% is too high IMHO, especially if we keep this in the realm of sports. If there's that much dumb luck, how come the Yankees and Dodgers continue to thrive and the Pirates and Rockies continue to suck?
-
Too much randomness to evaluate such things. Deadlines are generally about picking up complementary pieces. And I think we've all agreed that you usually have to overpay bigly at the deadline.
-
It's a sucker question because there are too many possibilities and too many unknowns. He could have traded the whole farm for a bat that would have marginally improved our chances. Would you call that doing his job? He acquired 2 players that are helping, Lowe and Matz. I think you're over-rating the importance of the deadline. It's rare that deadline moves push any team over the top. Dombrowski may have done that in 2018 with Eovaldi and Pearce. That was a great deadline. But they don't happen often. DD didn't do much at his other deadlines with us.
-
That's pretty wild.
-
If this team makes the playoffs, Breslow was correct in thinking that deadline moves weren't going to be the difference-maker. I realize you will now pivot to "but we could have been much better".
-
Red Sox 2007 trade deadline acquisitions were Bobby Kielty and Eric Gagne. Amazing that Theo didn't get fired for that disaster! 😄
-
The link doesn't work for me. But here's a revelation: Just because somebody said it on the internet doesn't mean it's true. And no legit sportswriter would be using the term "epic fail".
-
Where the hell does that quote come from?
-
The point is you also said you don't care what other GMs did - but you only use that one when it's pointed out that other teams didn't do that great either. It's amusing.
-
Let me clarify your hilarious self-contradiction. Fred: "Other GMs did more than Breslow at the deadline." SPLINTER "No other teams acquired a top shelf starter either." Fred: "I don't care what other GMs did."
-
Lowe is hitting better than Suarez in their new uniforms, another point that may have eluded Fred.
-
Do you realize how much you're contradicting yourself? You're saying you don't care what other GMs did at the same time you're saying other GMs did more than Breslow. 🤪
-
Nice picture of Narvaez. Nice trade by Brez!
-
Sox have to win, agreed. I do like the A's as a spoiler though.
-
Lowe now has an .815 OPS with us, so Craig might end up taking a bow for that move. (Someone usually goes with "he fell into his lap" in cases like this.)

It's a step, but don't hold your breath waiting for Full Robo. -
Go Athletics!

Abreu scored a run last night.

Can't have everything we want. This is huge progress IMHO. -
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.
-
So you are promising that if the make the playoffs you will not call them Flops again until at least 2026.
-
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.
