We're all just guessing about things we have very little information on. -
Maybe to us in the armchairs. The Red Sox didn't know they were going to sign Bregman until it actually happened, that's pretty obvious. Maybe it even surprised them that he took their offer over Detroit's.
-
You haven't noticed Toro also playing 1B?
-
To be fair, the 2025 Sox are one of those teams where the biggest problem can change from week to week. Right now it's definitely the rotation.
-
Rafaela's value comes in playing CF extremely well, that is.
-
That talk was just to make Raffy relax a little! (No idea if this contains any truth or not.)
-
Fielding percentage in isolation tells us very little, that's for sure. My issue is that just because fielding percentage by itself tells us little, and just because errors can be a matter of opinion, it still doesn't follow that errors are a meaningless statistic. One of the biggest issues with Devers as a fielder was...he made too many errors. Probably the biggest issue with Kike at SS in 2023 was...he made too many errors. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

You're in peak form Fred.

Your theory that Breslow is playing some sort of long game that includes a plan to get Cora fired is a novel one. You're telling us stuff that has never been reported anywhere else. You're telling us stuff that defies credulity. Sorry if you don't understand this.

Yophery is 19. I'm pushing 70. I'm getting too old for waiting on Yopherys. 🙂

Question of the week: Should Raffy agree to play first?
Bellhorn04 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Well, it seems to have worked out from a baseball standpoint, with Devers and Toro both raking. -
Breslow was the CBO when Cora signed a hefty new extension! That was part of this brilliant long game? And "Make the clubhouse truly diverse not Latin biased?" Please tell us you've just been trolling us all this time.
-
He came in in the 4th inning both times. That's a piggyback.
-
I agree. I still don't like trading away starters. Priester would be second on our team in innings pitched right now. That does not please me. This wouldn't be such a topic if it wasn't for the fact that the rest of our rotation, outside Crochet, has been bad, injured or both. Maybe Bailey is the real problem. I don't know. But something's wrong about the way they're doing things. We're into a fourth year of abject failure.
-
Yeah, I can't get enough fire sale talk in May and June of every year.
-
Seems to me the Devers situation was going to be messy no matter how they handled it. Because the player himself has a big attitude problem, as it turns out. But now that Devers is raking after a nightmarish start, shouldn't Cora get some credit for the actual baseball results we're getting out of Devers?
-
As a strategic question, how does coming in in the 4th inning help the struggles vs. lefties?
-
Yeah, it's not a great time to be telling us how the Red Sox are doing things the right way.
-
So you were opposed but I'm silly and overreacting. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. 🙄 I think trading MLB ready starting pitchers is a bad idea period, unless maybe you're the Pirates or the Marlins and you can't afford to keep them. Because there's no such thing as a surplus of them.
-
He'd be second on the Red Sox in innings pitched. Our rotation after Crochet has brutal numbers. Not seeing much magic from the Breslow & Bailey pitching lab right now.
-
Breslow has traded away starting pitchers 2 years in a row. I think trading starting pitchers is a dubious proposition, full stop.
-
Yeah, his last 2 outings were piggybacks. But he pitched a total of 11 innings in them. Over his last 6 outings he's pitched 32.1 and given up 9 ER.
-
Last year we got heavy coverage of Bailey's methodology of analyzing data on which pitches were yielding the best and worst results for each pitcher and getting them to alter their pitch mix accordingly. It appeared to result in great early success that didn't last very long at all, presumably because opposing offenses quickly adjusted. Which brings into question whether Bailey's methodology works at all. When you see an accomplished veteran like Buehler talking like this it's especially concerning.
-
We now have stories on both sides of the ball about Red Sox coaches basically getting guys mixed up by the information they're getting. Not what you want to hear!
-
He's an aggressive fellow. One wonders if the surprising Priester trade is biting us in the butt, though. Priester has at least been able to survive the first inning.
