    Pitching, defense, timely hitting, and small ball when needed. The Sox have finally bought in.
  2. Behindenemylines
    Uberstine was no longer an option as a starter after hurting his arm. The Sox just promoted a couple of pitchers from AA and Uberstine was no longer needed. Not sure what purpose White serves so I have to believe this is probably a 40-man roster issue.
  3. Behindenemylines
    Yes, he made a very good bullpen even better picking up Miller. An Arias has passed Mayer as the Sox SS of the future.
  4. Behindenemylines
    Agree. Miller is another power arm for the pen to help shorten the game. High 90s type of arm from the left side. I rooted hard for Marcelo because it is always great when the Sox can draft and turn prospects into productive major leaguers, but four years in a row, injuries have caused him to miss a lot of games. He can't improve if he can't stay on the field. The front office sees Arias as the future SS and Mayer became expandable for something that can help the Sox in 2026.

    Losing Eyanson is the one that hurts! It clicked right away and he is dominating in AA. The others I am not as concerned about losing. Narvarz is lost at the plate and provides no offense. Witherspoon is struggling at High A and his stuff is not missing bats. Azocar is a young OF that is going to be blocked in Boston. LF - Anthony with long term contract, CF - Ceddanne with long term contract. RF - Abreau with two gold gloves and a power source. Then there is Gonzales ranking ahead of him with a power bat that profiles well in Fenway. If healthy Rutchman fills two needs: solid D behind the plate that knows the AL East hitters very well and a much-needed power bat to extend the lineup. I think after the Dodgers series Breslow is pushing all of the chips in because the AL is so weak that there is a path for the Sox to go far in October.

    Then the Red Sox become the Royals and Witt once again is in the same situation. Baseball is a team sport and one player cannot win the WS by himself.
  7. Behindenemylines
    That is why I am holding my breath as the deadline approaches. The Sox have needs that is for sure, but is Arias the next Bagwell? Does anyone know how many future H-O-F the Sox have traded at the deadline besides Bagwell?
  8. Behindenemylines
    Agree, not hitting for that long will be a problem for Mead and the Sox.
  9. Behindenemylines
    This is a game the Sox would not have won early in the season. Hitting two homeruns and manufacturing a go ahead run in the eighth. Scoring the winning run on a double play I was glad to see. Early in the year Sox leave runners on the corners and the final two guys would have struck out. Good to see Chappy with a clean ninth and leaving Ohtani on the on-deck circle.
  10. Behindenemylines
    If healthy he would be a good pickup but often injured and Reds will probably ask for the moon for him.
  11. Behindenemylines
    In the ideal world the Sox would have internal SP options, but the Sox need to get a starter because they have two rookie pitchers that are reaching innings high for them and two pitchers returning from injuries that are not giving them length. As good as the bullpen has been it could get burnt out during the dog days of August. Would the Sox be wise to pick someone up and go to a six man rotation?
  12. Behindenemylines
    Sox should only deal Arias if they get a player back that will upgrade their team now and in the future. Not sure why the position change at AAA.
  13. Behindenemylines
    That's because he had a lot of them as they came through the system. I think he has shown he can handle Sox job.
  14. Behindenemylines
    Masa has always hit; the issue is the lack of power from the DH. Because of the lack of power as a team, the Sox can't have a DH that can't supply the power needed.
  15. Behindenemylines
    Since both 2B and SS are a need for Sox my interest is peeked by Neto. Right-handed power from the middle infield. It all depends on the Angel's asking price.
  16. Behindenemylines
    No, we already have a SS that is pass his prime.
  17. Behindenemylines
    It would start with Anthony and Early plus others to get Witt. Investing that much on one player never made sense to me. Look at the Mets and Soto. As great of a hitter he is, he is going to be a full-time DH before he is 30.
  18. Behindenemylines
    Agree! Why would Sox trade Whitlock if they are currently 1/2 game out of the last wild card. They should be adding a right-handed bat (The one we should have got during last off season).
  19. Behindenemylines
    Only because of a weak AL that the Sox have a chance of still making the playoffs after the disaster of the first two months of the season.
  20. Behindenemylines
    The way it is playing out it looks like a good salary dump. He was eventually going to be a fulltime DH with that contract. But wasn't the money saved supposed to be reinvested in the 2026 team?
  21. Behindenemylines
    I don't think you could have asked for more in Sandoval's first game back. He will be needed with the health issues that the staff currently have!
  22. Behindenemylines
    The Sox have received contender pitching during this recent streak. This without Crochet. A healthy Crochet added to the current staff is as good as pitching in the AL. Strong defense and an average offense and they can be contenders in a VERY WEAK AL. Need to get healthy though! A lot of important pieces are out of action now.
  23. Behindenemylines
    Will be lucky to take 2 out 3 this weekend. Do we even know the plan for Saturday? Tolle on four days rest on Sunday? As well as the Sox are playing this break is coming at a good time! Without Contreras the team will struggle to score runs (Yesterday is a perfect example). Pitching, defense, and average offense has been the key to the recent streak! Need another big game from Gray on Friday. Hold the Mets down and go deep into the game to save the pen for the weekend because they will be needed both days.
  24. Behindenemylines
    Bregman HR-7 RBI-30 AVG-.240 OPS-.681 Durbin HR-7 RBI-36 AVG-.229 OPS-.673 Both have played solid D, but their offensive numbers are pretty even! And Durbin is doing it for a lot less money and is younger. I do think the younger Sox players miss the Bregman voice in the clubhouse. Overall, I still want Durbin to keep this up. Plus, used the saved money for right-handed power bat.
  25. Behindenemylines
    Breslow's failure to bring in right-handed power last winter remains the major problem with this team! They have not taken advantage of quality starting pitched games and lost games that they should have won. They get behind by 3 or more runs the game is over.
