You never want players looking ahead at the schedules, but we can... Starting Aug 18, we enter a ball-buster stretch (3@NYY, 4@HOU, 3 LAD, 3 HOU), but let's look at July 31 to Aug 17: BOS: 3@SEA , off, 3 TOR, 3 KCR, 3 DET, 3@WSH TOR: 4 BAL, 3@BOS, 4@CLE, 3CHC, off, 2PHI HOU: 3CLE, 4@NYY, off, 3@BAL, 3 LAA, 3@MIA, off

I'd rather we pass on MI help and go with 2 SP'ers.

Reyes was added after the season started. Mondesi was known to be starting on the IL. The fact that we added SSs after Rule 5, makes it more understandable they protected DHam, not less. I was all for protecting Ward over Brasier and Ort. I was okay with DHam's protection, because I assumed they thought of him as ML depth. He did get called up, but he did not earn a stay. I was just saying what I felt the Sox reasoning was- not that I agreed with them, on this.

We remain 2.5 from the WC slot.

Another tough loss. We've had a few, recently. Losses: 7/30 @SFG 4-3 in 11 innings (2 unearned runs) 7/29 @SFG 3-2 (SFG scored a run in bottom of 9th) 7/21 NYM 5-4 (Crawford let up 4.) 7/19 @OAK 6-5 (Bello's meltdown game- 3 HRs.) 7/18 @OAK 3-0 (Jacques was the opener- 3 runs in 2nd.) 7/15 @CHC 10-4 (Paxton's meltdown game.) 7/4 TEX 6-2 (Pen game) Only 7 losses since June 29th.

We did pick up Reyes and Bernardino after opening day. Bloom is going to make 2-3 trades. My guess is one sell (Duvall) and 2 buys (SP and MIF.)
-
Montgomery to Rangers!
-
Many questioned the aged pen duo, Turner, Duvall and Yoshida, too.
-
Feels locito to me.

I was happy we traded Kike and wanted him Moved off SS the same time as everyone. I just agreed with notin that playing Kike too much at SS was a Cora mistake. Every FT player wants to keep playing everyday. I would be more upset, if Kike was happy being benched. Why not keep bitching about Paxton crying about being demoted to the pen?
-
Huh?
-
That was a legit beef against Cora.
-
I said I was always fine losing Brasier and Ort. Bloom chose two 2023 options over the future. BTW, someone did snag Brasier. Lol!
-
Hey! Half his hits are XBHs. 5 of his 14 hits are HRs! Project his numbers to 650 PAs: 35 HRs 119 RBIs To hell with the .163 BA and .209 OBP! LOL
-
To me: Chang at SS > Arroyo at 2B Chang is a better defender than Arroyo, and playing Chang at SS and Story at 2B improves the D at 2 key positions. Saving Story's arm is another reason. PH'ing for Chang is always an in game option.
-
As it turned out, we needed a SS slot on the 40- maybe not DHam, but to me, it was never Ward v DHam. I have no beef with Ort and Brasier points. They both were more ML ready and likely to help (and yes hurt, too) in 2023 than Ward.
-
Nah... We just need to play TOR and NYY, again.
-
The one time Bloom seemed to care more about 2023 over the extended future, and he can't live it down.
-
Why keep spreading unfounded rumors?
-
That's natural. Not acquiring a SP'er might prove to be the biggest mistake. If we get one at the deadline, that might be enough. If we had one from couple days ago, that could start tonight or tomorrow, it might have meant one more win. If we lose by 1 game, we may look back at these pre-deadline deals and ponder...
-
I'd have played him at 2B and kept Chang at SS. Re-evaluate in the off season, if you must.
-
We needed pen help, then, and he got it. We need rotation help, now, so...
-
Certainly, yes. We may still end up with Song. The Ward loss seemed worse, at the time, but he is pretty much forgotten, now- in hindsight.
-
Just one and we’d be sitting in a WC seat, right now. I just find it hard to get super angry, when so many other choices were good to great ones (so far.)
-
Now calling Casas “his boy” is comical.
