Crap player Hamilton had a 2 run homer and a single last night and was instrumental in a win. The team is trying to win games right now, not just work with young players.
I just can't imagine why Ortiz would make up stuff about trying to communicate with Devers and the lack of response. Those are statements of fact, not just opinion.
I don't think there's anything to be learned from which teams we've played well or crappy against.
If someone told you we'd be 9-3 against the Yanks & Rays at this point, you'd think we'd be 5 games up in the division.
What same mistakes? Devers was a pretty tricky situation IMHO. It's quite possible that once they decided they had to get him off third base, the rest was inevitable.
The Sox pitching has been excellent for the last 8 games. SSS but if that continues, Breslow looks a lot better, doesn't he?
I have no idea if it will continue, but I'll stay hopeful until it doesn't LOL
I agree, it had to happen. Just too many red flags that this situation was never going to resolve in a good way. Which is pretty scary when you're talking about a player who you still have 8.5 years and 250 million to get through with.
I know I'm in the minority but I think all things considered this was a great deal done by Breslow, shedding the whole contract and getting some stuff back.
