Reached base 8 times in his first 9 Yankee PA's.

I agree with everything you said there. If they do give Sale one more start at Worcester, I guess the thinking is they're sticking with the plan they had and agreed on with Sale, and not panicking. Not long ago many were saying we shouldn't count on Sale for anything this year. Now we want to rush him in there ASAP.

Sadly, this seems irrelevant in the face of the pitching staff implosion.
-
Yes, because Chavis turned out to be a baloney sandwich. I don't see much of a point here.
-
It's a good line by Charles. However, it's also not controversial to suggest that players' performances are affected by a lot of physiological and psychological factors that are outside of those basic needs.
-
The truth is, I like to speculate, try to solve riddles, figure out motives et cetera. Maybe Bloom was given a strict mandate on how much salary to take on. Or maybe he was too conservative. There are a lot of possible explanations. Maybe none that will satisfy us as fans.
-
I would be feeling much better about our chances if E-Rod was pitching better. If he keeps sucking, we're in trouble for sure.
-
You have nailed a bunch of relevant facts there without a doubt. We have a lot of concerns right now. Only some W's can cure these ills.
-
You're a man on a mission, Denny.
-
But maybe the reason for not getting a quality first baseman was the same as the reason for not getting a starting pitcher - the price.

July 31, Sox @ the Rays

It feels like Yarborough has been pitching for the Rays a long, long time. -
This actually conflicts with one widely reported rumor that Red Sox ownership was pushing for Scherzer, which would have meant going over the tax line. So either the rumor was BS or Henry was willing to go over the line.
-
I don't doubt that E-Rod, Richards and Perez are trying. They're just sucking. Frankly what most fans wanted was not for Richards and/or Perez to keep trying, but to be jettisoned in favor of someone better. As for their teammates, if some of them were dead honest, yes, I think they probably felt that way too.
-
When you think about it, the Red Sox record in those 8 World Series is amazing. They have never once been blown out, won at least 3 games in each one. 28-19 overall record.
-
Yes, I would never ask for a re-write of Red Sox history of the last 20 years.
-
There is no wrong way to think, for fans.
-
Bloom and Cora have some juggling to do with the pitching, that's for sure. I think they're up to it. Going to be interesting.
-
Agreed.
-
Sometimes you judge these things in retrospect. If the 2021 Red Sox miss the playoffs, but the 2022 team wins 100 games and goes deep, Sox fans would look on 2021 much more kindly in the rear view mirror.
-
Divided by 3 when you have the player for 2 months.
-
All 5 of the starters have pitched well at certain points, and Eovaldi has mostly been excellent. Our bullpen has been outstanding. We have pulled off a lot of come-from-behind wins. We have a great manager. We've been fortunate, based on our run differential. Sustaining all that the rest of the way is going to be the hard part.
-
So if the payroll tops $300 mill you still don't count that as going for broke?
-
Pretty sure he's the guy who it was predicted might make his MLB debut in September.
-
The Rays can run 3 or 4 guys out to the mound who you have literally never heard of before, and they kick your ass.
-
The fans will ultimately judge Cashman on how the team finishes this year.
