    What is killing this team is the lack of production from so many of their top prospects. We all know that prospects miss at the major league level. But I don't think this organization expected to get nothing out of Campbell, Mayer and Anthony to date as recently as a year ago. Hell I'll even throw in Casas as it wasn't that long ago that they saw him as a potential key contributor. I think player development is still a major issue with this team.

    He can stay there for all I care.

    Such a shame this team has such good starting pitching and has gone from one of the worst defenses in baseball to one of the best and they still suck. So relieved they didn't let that win get away last night, that would have been devastating. But the error was costly, I'm going to assume we have lost Chapman for today.

    I don't think you can blame the front office for Duran hitting .178. These are professional athletes, they need to perform up to expectations and most of them are failing big time.
  5. Yaz Fan Since 67
    I guess I did too because I didn't want him traded. When he gets on base he can change games, I didn't want to give up on a player like that.

    To me this was the big development of the season. After the WBC we pretty much all expected big things. He was terrible and now he is hurt. Again. I sure didn't see that coming.
  7. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Yeah we all knew this all winter, this is not a surprise although I didn't see last place They were counting on much more from players like Anthony and of course Duran. Both have given them nothing and that was not expected. But it was a poor plan from the start, what a shame we are wasting such a good starting staff. And now with the Bello thing looking more promising, as weird as it is, the staff just got stronger.
  8. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Too close for me at the end but Chapman did indeed dial it up midway through the Harper at bat. But man this team is borderline unwatchable. When will Duran finally get it going? We have too large of a sample size to believe he is this now.

    Connerly Early knows how to pitch. It was a pleasure watching him work the zone last night. Whit and Chapman are the only pen arms I trust. Trevor Story can't get out of here fast enough, one of my least favorite players of all time. How many more LOBs did he have last night? Get this guy out of here.

    I will always hate the Devers trade. I also don't judge a player's season on May 9th. If they were going to trade our only big bat at least get something in return.
  11. Yaz Fan Since 67
    You gotta admit what happened with Chapman was lucky. The team never saw this coming, few did.
  12. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Other than perhaps hockey there is more luck in baseball than any other sport. Willie McCovey hit a bullet that should have won the World Series. He hit it right to Bobby Richardson. That was blind luck. We see hard hit balls caught and bloops fall in every single game.
  13. Yaz Fan Since 67
    I saw that as I was looking up the spelling of his first name. LOL. We got blind lucky and should all appreciate that, we need some good news around here.
  14. Yaz Fan Since 67
    My random thought of the day is I'm so thankful for Aroldis Chapman. We got blind lucky that Boston was the stop he made where he re-discovered the strike zone and became a bad ass again. He is so fun to watch.
  15. Yaz Fan Since 67
    I enjoyed what we did to that punk Valdez and how he came off to everyone for doing that BS. The announcer also speculated that he did it on purpose to get out of the game. LOL.
  16. Yaz Fan Since 67
    I was thinking that as I saw the family crying. No matter what happens they will always have this night. What an enjoyable game. I'm happy for Bryan Bello who was indeed pitching for his professional life. I sure never expected that run total with the lineup they put out. I also agree with the earlier post, this season for me is all about the young pitchers they now have. If they have actually found 2-3 reliable young starters filling out a lineup is a lot easier than trying to find that. This season is over, it's all about the future and the development of the young players.

    This was the first link that came up in my search, Spotrac. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/

    They rank 15th in payroll. They don't have one of the highest payrolls, they are middle of the pack.
  19. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Even in the bad years, and there have been many, I don't remember tuning them out in April before. Honestly I checked out a few weeks ago and watch the game with the fast forward button at work. This absolutely sucks.
  20. Yaz Fan Since 67
    I am so done with this guy. I supported the contract at the time, seemed like a good gamble, but he is a disaster.
  21. Yaz Fan Since 67
    I said nothing about where Anthony hits in the lineup. I thought my point was clear. They have a weak lineup and it appears as if they were counting on Roman Anthony to carry a big load and that was kind of a stupid plan if that was it.
  22. Yaz Fan Since 67
    It's as if you didn't read my post. If you did you certainly did not understand it. I was not burying Roman Anthony and his future. My comment was all about the roster construction which appeared to be relying on a young player having a blowout season after playing 3 months in the majors. A season like the rookie Fred Lynn.
  23. Yaz Fan Since 67
    Mayer's struggles at the plate should not be a surprise to anyone. I totally expected it, he has yet to prove that he can hit major league pitching and I'm not confident he ever will. That's why I had so many concerns about this lineup at the start of ST, not that I was alone. They were depending on players like Story and Mayer and I guess expected Anthony to be Fred Lynn and that always gave me concern.
  24. Yaz Fan Since 67
    We already had qualified GMs turn down the Red Sox job because of the turnover at the position in Boston. I have no idea if this is on Brez or JH but firing yet another GM will be a bad look.
  25. Yaz Fan Since 67
    I don't know what to make of this mess and who to blame. I only know that once again my team is embarrassing, after a lifetime of watching mostly winning Red Sox teams with respected organizations. I was a bit still in Cora's corner, he won a ring and that just carries so much weight with me. I'm not sure what a manager is supposed to do with a lineup incapable of putting up runs consistently. But he does seem to play bad players out of loyalty too often and I guess something had to be done. But I don't see anything saving this season.
