They've actually blown 11 now, out of 21 opportunities. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/majors/2025-reliever-pitching.shtml -
It does sound like fun.
-
Offseasons are meant for dreaming, and the additions of Crochet and Bregman did make it feel like we were serious again. The bullpen has been absolutely killing us. If we'd hung onto 2-3 of these blown leads we'd be feeling much better about the team. Bad bullpens are death. Maybe Breslow and Bailey were overconfident in this area? I don't know.

Dancing around the .500 mark starts to lose its charm after 3.25 seasons of it.
-
Our 11 blown saves unsurprisingly leads the majors.

Rafaela has an .850 OPS in May. He has improved his plate approach significantly. He has a 1.6 bWAR in 39 games this year and a 4.4 bWAR in his first 219 major league games. Throw in the extension they gave him, and this is one of the last guys they would want to replace right now.
-
Obviously they were counting heavily on Whitlock, and he's been just atrocious of late.

Mr. Krabs!
-
The starting pitching hasn't been horrible, outside of Houck, unfortunately.
-
Our trust level changes from game to game with guys like these, methinks.
-
I think in this case it was a combo of the two factors. DD cared about the finances to the extent that JH did. And Zack Scott confirmed that Sox ownership cared deeply about lux tax. He cited it as the main reason they didn't offer Devers an extension early in his career.

Money always carries the day.

Rusney was the reason for the change!
-
With all the money in sports gambling, there's gonna be some fixing. I would think the fixers tend to gravitate toward the less obvious ways to do it - low profile games, prop bets etc.
-
The problem was that after the Sox took advantage of the luxury tax loophole by moving him off the 40, MLB closed the loophole, which essentially trapped him in AAA. If DD had promoted him for 2 games he would have been back on the lux tax payroll for good. They just didn't think it was worth promoting him to incur that extra tax cost.
-
Place your bets. My bet is it'll all blow over.
-
Point is, he ain't gonna be traded.
-
Devers isn't gonna be traded. Cora will smooth things over. And Devers is raking.
-
Well, one team wanted him.

You're a feisty troll. You always go down fightin'. But you always go down.

Rafaela is playing great. His bWAR is up to 1.6, 4th best on the team. -
Because he's a Yankee fan, Hitch, and because he's a troll. Only a troll does stuff like this.
-
But that's not an explanation for why Bergman saw no time at 2B.

You're kind of all over the map here. You're saying they should make the playoffs but you're also saying they could still be only a .500 team. And you seem to be overlooking that in 2021 they won 92 games and made the ALCS. -

Those were some pretty good hitting tips Henry gave Raffy. (Someone had to use this joke.)
