I guess you would have preferred they trade 2-3 top prospects for a marginal rental. -
He tried to be active but could not work out a deal. To me that means he was not willing to overpay for a few players who were most likely never have going to have the impact to make this the team that wins the World Series. I'm cool with that.
-
Well said. Ignoring the Cora connection to my team I always felt that Astros scandal was way overblown. As you said teams have been stealing signs for generations, including our very own team.
-
For the same reason most every Sox fan wanted to dump him and his contract in a heartbeat if the team could find a way. This signing has not worked out, period. He has no position, has little power which is brutal for a DH and puts the Sox at a big disadvantage at the position and goes stone cold as he rolls over grounders to 2nd and that can last months.

Whitlock has been great this season but it's a reach to say he is the most unhittable reliever in baseball right now. Cecdanne is so infuriating so I get the frustration. Why can't he learn the strike zone? But I'm happy for him, he certainly has delivered big at the end of a lot of games. Happy for Yoshida as well. With the language barrier and difference in culture, while playing like crap for 2 years he couldn't have been having a lot of fun in the clubhouse.
-
I too was shut out from watching. Knowing only the final score and how they scored in the end I read through the thread to get a feel for how the game went. It was entertaining to say the least. It was hardly just Fred Lynn who was making such comments. Has Cora been fired yet? LOL. I swear some of you don't deserve that win and this season.
-
So after watching 159 games I can't watch them play a game that could clinch a playoff spot? I hate how sports is moving to these apps.
-
He makes so many really good plays but man he has a lot of errors. This could describe the entire team for that matter.
-
Random thoughts: I was fine with little movement at the deadline and remain so. I will never believe this team is a #2 starter away from a ring and I sure did not want to deal prospects. I may never trust Bello, just as I never really trusted Oil Can Boyd even when he had good numbers. The Red Sox record at the end of September is 1.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. Let that sink in. From what I have seen it looks like Detroit had a team of over achievers, so many players were playing far better then their careers would suggest, and it caught up with them. Really happy that they jumped on Max early and took the wind out of their sails. Crochet has not been dominant lately and I was concerned about 4 days of rest. His performance was huge.
-
As someone who believes an everyday player is more valuable than any one starting pitcher I have to say this is an interesting thought and one I had not considered. But IMO you really have to look at the number of games a player affects to judge their value. When you only play in 32 of 164 it's a hard argument to make IMO. The argument that a DH should not win it or get in the HOF because he plays no defense can be utilized on pitchers as well. Only instead of only playing offense they only play defense.
-
Story and the rest of the team has had such a strange defensive season. They make a ton of errors which are killers but they also make a lot of tough plays. Now compare that to the Yankees, from what I have seen they just don't make plays that can be made and look really sloppy a lot of the time. What fun these games are now. I was in favor of the expanded playoffs because more teams are in the playoff race and so many games are huge right now. I had always thought the Tigers series would be different, figured they'd be playing out the string with backups. Now those will be playoff games and great fun to watch. We need the Crochet we have seen all season, not the Crochet we've seen recently.
-
Good su.mary. I've never understood the Alex Cora hate, for years now he has been saddled with a roster full of holes.
-
Bregman is now running like Ron Cey of the old Dodgers, AKA The Penguin.
-
As Bregman continues to struggle I can't help but wonder if he won't decide not to opt out and we get him next season. Short term pain for a better long term result IMO.
-
Game wasn't on TV, Kind of glad I missed it.
-
It's right to give the higher seed homefield. So just do that like every other sport. To play all 3 games at one team's home is beyond stupid and completely unfair.
-
I was not aware that they play all 3 playoff games at the site of the higher seed. That may be the dumbest thing I have ever seen with regard to any playoff format.
-
One of the stranger games of the year. For much of it we got a ton of breaks, most ground balls found a hole. Then our ace got rocked and I was pretty bummed that it looked like they would lose a Crochet game. But Cedanne did what he does a lot and came up big.
-
Yeah like the announcers I had never seen that before as well. I also can't remember the last time the Sox benefitted from so many balks in one season. I've seen as many balks this season as I've seen in my entire life.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

Oh I'm not comparing their stats, as I said Lynn was a better hitter and fielder. I just said he reminds me of Lynn. -
A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

I keep coming back to Fred Lynn when I see Anthony hit as well. He does not play the outfield like Lynn and so far is not the hitter but there are similarities for sure. -
Well that game was a relief. They could not get swept at home by the Pittsburgh Pirates with Gio on the bump. Huge hit by Duran who needs more of these.
-
I'm not convinced Casas can hit .800-.850 with 30 home runs.
-
That's what I noticed as well. I read the post that said he had good movement on his fastball and that was not my take. So I just watched 3-4 pitches and no there was not great movement. But he had really good velocity and excellent location, and as you said his extension and release point makes the ball jump on the hitter. So excited about what I saw last night.

What a shame Tolle didn't get the win over Skenes in his first MLB appearance, he deserved it. I had no problem with him starting the 6th, he had earned that. And Weisert has been pretty good this season so I had no problem with that move, what were his better options? But he had a bad night and cost us the game. But I'm more excited at Tolle's performance than I am disappointed that they lost one game to one of the best pitchers in baseball. From a long term perspective this was a very good night. I have no idea why Alex continues to trot Hicks out in high leverage situations. And I agree that sending Rafaela had better odds than asking Wong to lay one down. And that is because major league baseball players SUCK AT BUNTING NOW which is so infuriating.
