    Max is the anti-Fred.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I've been a Sox fan since the late Sixties myself. They also have more titles than any other team this century, but it hasn't knocked any of the Doubting Thomas out of you.
  3. Bellhorn04
    The way Duran is playing, trading him could have really sucked some life out of the offense.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Since it's all opinions, there aren't really any lies. You just tend toward really negative opinions. You predict losses when the team gets behind 1 or 2 runs early. You predicted we'd go 2-7 in the stretch against division leaders. It's just what you do.
  5. Bellhorn04
    And that's the same comeback you always use. And who said we have no weaknesses?
  6. Bellhorn04
    Fred, you've always prided yourself on being the most negative guy on the board. It's kind of your claim to fame.
  7. Bellhorn04
    With the money they have, especially after trading Devers, it would be criminal of them not to at least re-do Bregman 's deal.
  8. Bellhorn04
    I agree you can't have everybody on the field at once, but guys get beat up and injured, too, and a little insurance is not a horrible thing, especially after a trade deadline...
  9. Bellhorn04
    The onus is always on the reader/viewer/listener to be discerning and skeptical, or to simply tune out altogether. The best policy is to find sources you can actually trust.

    He only played 69 total games in 2023 and 2024 combined so your numbers have very little context. Right now he's playing like the guy they thought they were getting and the shortstop we need. I'm happy about that. But to each their own.
  11. Bellhorn04
    He's been derailed by injuries.
  12. Bellhorn04
    I also see merit in the idea that by keeping Duran and Abreu you have more depth and more options.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Yes, you're right.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Cora and Bailey both deserve props for it.
  15. Bellhorn04
    As far as trading Duran or Abreu is concerned, I get why some thinking it was a good idea. But they're both contributing wins to the 2025 team. If you traded one of them at the deadline and the one you kept gets hurt or slumps while the one you traded plays great, then Breslow looks stupid and Talksox is calling for his head.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The thing is, Breslow and his team have vastly more knowledge of all these players than any of us. Rosenthal claims that the Red Sox have some sort of "efficiency models" that they rely heavily on. From his perspective that's a problem because they're not aggressive enough. I'm just happy the team is playing as well as it is right now. They're worth watching again. Anthony alone is worth tuning in for.

    In the Devers trade the Sox shed approx. 235 in payroll when you factor in Hicks's contract. In the Mookie trade the Sox shed approx. 72 million-27 Mookie and 45 Price.
  18. Bellhorn04
    It was absolutely a salary dump. And I would argue that dumping $250 million owing to a DH might be a pretty good thing in itself.
  19. Bellhorn04
    A lot of people seemed to love the Priester trade at the time.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I was very disappointed about the deadline moves too, but I think I understand what happened. Breslow didn't want to trade anyone from the current team. I can't fault him for that. And I suspect he was also very reluctant to trade pitching prospects. So that left him with a pool of position prospects that maybe wasn't as strong as Sox fans might think. If Bailey's lab magic works on May, that could really make things look better. And then you also have the great performance from Criswell last night.
  21. Bellhorn04
    If he comes back and hits, this offense could really be fun to watch.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I think they're hoping Campbell can take over 1B.
  23. Bellhorn04
    He has really had some big and timely hits, too.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Bregman has been back since July 11. Do the games since then not count? Devers's hitting since he got traded would have helped very, very little.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yeah sure, let's just leave out Romy's numbers at 1B and Refsnyder's at DH.
