You also have an 8 game winning streak.

By all means go and represent Talksox. I've been a Sox fan since 1949, but only been to Fenway twice, both times from out of town.

A Realistic View at 2021: Part II
Maxbialystock replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
About making a deal. I suppose another bullpen arm would be nice, but right now I'm starting to think the rotation is the weak link, even with Sale just around the corner. The problem is, everyone wants another good starter, and me, I would rather not give up a bunch of good prospects for just one player. -

moonslav is far from anti-Duran, so let me be that guy. Here's an extract from the SoxProspects summary on Duran: "Potential fringe starting outfielder with two carrying tools. Ceiling of an everyday center fielder." I would not call that a ringing endorsement. And I'll take Rike over Duran every day and twice on Sundays. -
Pivetta was why the Sox lost, period.
-
Like Uehara's
-
OK, Sawamura is a badass. Devers error, no problem-- K the next guy. Wicked pitches. Borderline unlawful, illegal, and fattening.
-
Hmmm. Sawamura. Good pitcher, but could be tired. This time no Taylor in the 8th. Got Ottavino and Barnes available.
-
Gotta give Cora credit. Sending Rios out to pitch the 5th and 2/3 of the 6th was a death-defying act.
-
Yup. The shmuck was wrong.
-
Are you referring to the guy who drove in 1 guy and scored another run?
-
Dalbec has decent wheels. I mean, nowhere near as good as Vazquez, but still pretty good.
-
RBI for Dalbec! 5th most rbi's on the team.
-
Why does everyone keep saying what a great baserunner Vazquez is? Why?
-
One of the more inglorious at bats by Devers this season. Hard swings at 2 straight breaking balls so far out of the strike zone they almost went into the dugout. Where oh where are the real Sox?
-
Rike has the highest DWAR, 1.1, on the Sox.
-
He means Cora of course. Also Bloom.
-
Didn't anybody ever tell Arroyo you need to wave other fielders off when you know you've got that pop-up? Back to the minors for him.
-
Rios got 3 outs in the 5th. Can he do that again in the 6th? So far so good--an easy fly to Hernandez in CF. Barely had to move--that dive was unnecessary.
-
Great throw to 2b, and JDM still beat it. Looks like the oldest guy in the lineup came to play. Verdugo, not so much. I still haven't figured out why he carries the bat to 1b when he hits a grounder. And he was late on the soft liner to LF, plus he let it go by him.
-
Yep. Pitching is very demanding work.
-
At this moment you're the only one to be put on notice. Dalbec has been up (5th most rbi's on the team) and down (usually), but he is not why the Sox are losing today--Pivetta and the rest of the lineup are. For big chunks of the season, the Sox have had no good leadoff hitter, but still won games. Richards and a couple others got hit hard by the Commish's dictum about doctoring up the ball, but the rotation overall has been decent if not great. Fielding has been erratic, but sometimes it's been pretty decent. The outfield leads MLB in outfield assists. Devers has gotten pretty reliable at 3b. Vazquez and Wong are both good defensive catchers.
-
Let's hope this shmuck is wrong.
-
Swihart's Ghost is a moniker that speaks volumes--not a good fit for the Sox or Talksox.
-
He was pitching well early on. But he also is something of a prima donna, especially when he reacts to that first Phillies hit as if he was being denied the no-hitter he deserves. The 3 run dinger this inning was all his doing, with a small assist from Vazquez who called for five straight fast balls.
