I misunderstood I guess. Thought that I was seeing that Betts was moved into a position where he might knock a few runs in. My mistake.

Sox are 39-10 when they score 4 or more, 4-25 when they don't

the slasher miester strikes again. -
At least it is good to see Betts out of the lead off spot. Prefer to see him third but oh well.
-
I would hope that they would not trade anyone for a rental player to finish out this season. You want to trade a Devers or a Chavis - ok - but you better get someone for 3 who has some talent. As long as they are hanging in there, I doubt we see a trade of any magnitude. Who would be that one guy who would make that much of a difference? If he is out there, great go get him but if he isn't sit tight . We are what we are.
-
That he could do. About it but that he could do.
-
Yes - but I think that this ownership has done any number of odd things to generate interest. i give them credit for trying. Ramirez was one of the great right handed hitters of all time. I was glad we had him but I can't say that I ever was much of a fan.
-
This I agree with. Some of our other guys do need to improve for us to be successful. If Betts gets back to the Betts we think he is and if Hanley can give us a second half resembling last years and if we come up with a third baseman who can hit just a little, I would become a happy enthusiastic camper once again.
-
I have read constantly on here about how these guys are under achieving and should be hitting better. For the most part I just don't see it. Betts yes - based on what he has done, I think it makes sense that we expect more from him going forward. Ramirez - I'm not buying that one. His career has been somewhat up and down. He certainly can hit and might but it would not be all that unusual if this is who he is for this season. Often injured and limited play. As for the rest, it is who and what they are in my opinion. If the pitching holds up, they will compete to the end but I don't expect the bats to suddenly morph into something other than what they are and for the most part have always been. Unless they bring in a hitter, this is the team that we have been dealt. It is possible I suppose that some on here are still expecting Sandoval of a few years ago to suddenly show up as well. I don't but like the rest of you, I will continue to hope for the best.

How about a new thread - the pat myself on the back thread- or - hindsight history- or - I hope you forgot what I really said - lol
-
Deevers with 2 more hr's tonight in Portland - Chavis with 1 more!
-
As I recall, Owens was never projected higher than mid-rotation. It would have been wonderful if he could have gotten to that point. He still might I guess but in the meantime he won't be pitching for us and his trade value is greatly limited. Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don't.
-
Good fans get do overs! lol
-
He is too tight with Mr. Henry's money. Our owner doesn't mind spending some millions of his billions.
-
they used to be geniuses - not so much any more - I retired!
-
You watch out for that cliff! When he moves Devers for "Moose", it will be here sooner than you had planned!
-
I have no problem with what you are saying here either. The but is, who gets to say what proper value is? When is thinning the farm not depleting it? Much of it hinges on personal perspective.
-
for the most part I agree with you here. If you can get a proven young player for a prospect, what's not to like? Shout out for my boy Pom Pom. Glad I have stuck with him. At his age, I liked the trade then and I like it more now.
-
I just find it stunning that he didn't go to his 7th inning guy followed closely by his 8th inning guy. A good starting pitcher is going to put some of these guys out of work. Pretty soon it will be written into a player's contract designating the innings that they will be pitching during games. l o l - It is becoming a joke!
-
really - we going down this path ! one of my students = Ben Dover I had a teacher in the early 60's = Ima Hoar

Slasher love for my boy Pom Pom gets it done. Sign this boy up for a few more years. -
Is it imperative that they do?

Pomeranz is starting to feel the love from the Slasher. Good Pom tonight ! -
You wouldn't need more than one - that would save some of John Henry's $. All 3 of our guys could fit in an average sized NFL player's jersey! lol
-
For the record - I get the fact that nothing really is limitless and that would include John Henry's budget. I do have to laugh though when so many say so much about something they know so little about. I have no clue what John Henry is thinking when it comes to handling any part of his payroll dealing with any aspect of the Red Sox. Henry's budget is limitless when compared to mine which ain't to0 bad. It is just an expression that I have used and will continue to use. Mr. Henry is no idiot but if he was as concerned about accounting for his $ the way some of you think he is, he likely would never have allowed the people working for him to throw it wastefully around the way they have. What in his past dealings with this franchise would lead anyone to believe that he is now going to be seeking a do over? It really sounds like we have numerous people here who are trying to get him to alter his spending habits. Good luck with that!
-
I think that we certainly do contribute to the success or failure of certain players. I'm with you on Price. I like him. The contract really doesn't bother me because it doesn't appear to really bother John Henry much. i wonder if he laughs at us when we squawk and holler about the Red Sox going over their limitless (non existent?) budget.
