Who freaking knows where this team is going. There are some positive signs though. Pitching has been pretty damn good. Bats are waking up a bit. Durbin has become somewhat of a spark plug. New dude Seigler has really capitalized on his small sample. Contreras and Rafaela have been steady contributors.
Sure hope Anthony gets back soon.
I did the same a while ago. Now I just get a chuckle out of how many times the words "You've chosen to ignore content by Fred Lynn" appears on my screen while scrolling game threads.
I'm fine with most of that, but the 4 innings one is debatable because it leaves 5 innings for the pen. 4 scoreless innings is not unhelpful, but a starter generally needs to go longer than that.
All subjective stuff of course.
It really is weird. The CBO can point to a lot of good moves, but nobody loves you when you're playing .400 ball in June.
Hopefully things are now turning around.
Could be. But how often have the Sox made a meaningful acquisition in a fire sale?
Seems like something else the franchise is not good at.
Rick Porcello would count, I guess, they sort of got him for Lester. But they had to pay him a bundle, too.
I WAS 100% convinced that the issue was all Devers, but I'm rapidly coming around to the idea that Breslow is a terrible manager and that this could have been handled much better by someone else.
Nice that he has turned it around. Sad that the guy whose bat we're most excited about still only has a .636 OPS - 83 points below major league average.
