  1. Remember you're talking to Freddie Frowner. Fred thinks Breslow should be fired, regardless of being 21-6 in their last 27.
  2. Not only that, but he's pounding the living crap out of the baseball. 😄
  3. What evidence is there that they were seriously negotiating on Ryan? What I heard was that their offer wasn't close and that they balked at the Twins insistence on Duran or Abreu being part of the package.
  4. Some guys who look like great hitters in AAA cannot hit major league pitching. Bobby Dalbec is one example. Grissom is the opposite of Dalbec in that he makes a lot of contact, but he lacks home run power. Grissom has gone well over 200 major league at bats since his last home run.
  5. Jeez moon, one would think you're condemning Breslow for not emptying the farm at the deadline.
  6. "Fitts-like randos" LOL. The way we talk about these guys.
  7. If any team has been cursed with their deadline deals the last few years, it's the Yanks. I'd like to see a list for the last 5 years, it's hilarious how badly they've turned out. This year they outdid themselves, in the very first game after the deadline, the 3 relievers they acquired gave up 9 runs, and Caballero made a big error - the deadline guys were instrumental in turning a 9-4 7th inning lead into a 13-12 loss. And then last night Bird gives up the walkoff* homer, and gets sent to the minors. This is epic stuff. * I actually hate this stupid term.
  8. The super-sucky results of the 2024 deadline pickups were plugged into the Sox efficiency model and the model said a lot of bad things. 😄
  9. Matz compares pretty well to Garcia and Sims.
  10. I think it was Kelly they really wanted. The offer they made for Ryan was reportedly not even close. The Twins did insist on Duran or Abreu I believe.
  11. There's that, but they were also doing the right thing for his health. I think most teams are ethical about this stuff. And the Players Union keeps an eye on such things, I would assume.
  12. Unfortunately Paxton was pretty much made of paper. It took a lot of optimism to like that addition last year...and nobody was surprised he only lasted 11 innings.
  13. I get a nice warm feeling every time Ref or Romy step to the plate against a lefty, that's for sure.
  14. Yeah, it's kind of a big deal that some Fenway advantage seems to have returned.
  15. We could use a right-handed reliever, though.
  16. May has 8 Quality Starts and 9 50+ Game Scores in 18 starts. Very mediocre, but at least he's had some good games.
  17. A compliment for a third base coach! You don't see those too often. 😊
  18. I'm hoping Bailey might have a useful tweak for May.
  19. In spite of the bad news it was kind of cool to see Houck, and Mayer, in the dugout last night.
  20. From what I gathered the Sox main target was Kelly, who unlike Ryan was strictly a rental and thus less expensive. But the D-Backs liked the Rangers' offer better.
