    Houston reportedly offered him 6/156 or something like that. My Pollyanna take is that he really wanted to play for the Red Sox and Cora.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Personally I don't think they trade him unless they think his attitude is a real issue. They know damn well it makes the 2025 team a couple wins worse on paper. What muddies the waters intent-wise, of course, is that it was also an opportunity to shed a very large contract.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Devers stunk for quite a while after the trade. He's been hot as a pistol the last week or two. No one will ever know how much of an impact the trade had on the Red Sox psychologically, but for the most part they've been playing a much better brand of baseball since the trade.
  4. Bellhorn04
    The third catcher is just emergency insurance, it enables Cora to do something like use Narvaez as a pinch-hitter - like he did yesterday, very successfully I might add. Kelly is a mystery. Andrew Bailey must think there's something there he can fix.
  5. Bellhorn04
    If they're going to give up on him now they might as well release him. We all know he might start hitting. Why wouldn't he? He hit righties very well in 2023 and 2024. He's healthy. He's just rusty. Look at how Story shook off the rust after people were giving up on him. I think you have to give him a couple more weeks. That's just playing the percentages.
  6. Bellhorn04
    We're all just speculating. But Breslow has shown he's a pretty decisive guy IMHO. In any case it's only common sense to give Yoshida a fair shot.
  7. Bellhorn04
    I'm 100% certain that Yoshida's playing time is as much a Breslow decision as a Cora decision. They're obviously giving him a lot of time to get the rust off. Just as obviously if he doesn't start hitting soon he's in jeopardy of bad things like being left off the playoff roster if we get there.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, really. I'm pretty glad they didn't trade Duran, personally, especially with Abreu on the shelf. Depth is not such a bad thing.
  9. Bellhorn04
    The good news is that Anthony's walk rate is about half of his K rate.
  10. Bellhorn04
    There's no shame in calling it a salary dump.
  11. Bellhorn04
    He also had the game-deciding 3 run homer in the first game of the Orioles series, so 2 huge hits in 7 games.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Along with 27 saves he has 4 wins, 4 holds and a number of games he kept tied that the Sox won.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Bunting for hits is great. It really does seem like a rarity now.
  14. Bellhorn04
    No need to share all your issues. 😄
  15. Bellhorn04
    You're not Henry and it's extremely doubtful that's the way he's thinking. He's got a quick trigger finger but he has given every CBO 4 years, at least.
  16. Bellhorn04
    When you're in a playoff race, you can call every loss a missed opportunity, really. The fickle finger of Randomness is never far away in this crazy game. We take 7 of 8 from the Yanks and Orioles on the road and then lose 2 to Pittsburgh at home.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I'll have to check the video again but I think Bill Mueller showed bunt on the pitch right before the biggest RBI in franchise history.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I think they'll bring him back one way or another. They're on a roll of good moves with retaining the ones that need to be retained.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Great sacrifice bunts in Red Sox history - anybody remember any?
  20. Bellhorn04
    Fortunately your input on Breslow 's job is not a factor.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Spectacular news.
  22. Bellhorn04
    And they need late inning relievers, and I assume Bailey thinks he can help him.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Red Sox are #9 in OPS+ Red Sox are #5 in ERA+ So yeah, the pitching has been better than the offense, especially lately. But there isn't a vast gulf between the two. It's just really hard to score runs against major league pitchers. You score most of your runs against pitchers who don't have their best stuff that day or who just aren't very good and are in there to eat innings. The game is dominated by pitching.
  24. Bellhorn04
    It's also about time to run into a crappy starting pitcher. 😄
  25. Bellhorn04
    Well, not if you're rooting for the pitchers.
