  1. Agreed, but I'd like to know what exactly Red would like to see Bloom do. It's easy to complain about "not doing anything," but who would he give up and for _____?
  2. But, would you do one of those trades listed? It's easy to say "Do something." What would you do?
  3. That's more like a deal I can see us making.
  4. I'm not sure DD would have traded Bello, Casas, Houck or others, but I don't see him standing pat as much as Bloom has with our farm capital.
  5. Yes, a much better farm plus recent grads like Bello & Whitlock. (Although Bello is not a Bloom guy, DD might have traded him by now.) We shoulda stole more...
  6. Reports say he was asking for $134M/8 (about $17M x 8). The Pirates reportedly offered $100M/7 of "new money."
  7. BTV accepted Brasier for DeJong and $6M.
  8. It's very hard to trade for impact player in April and May. It almost never happens. That's not to say it can't happen. Reynolds might be the one guy available, but his asking price has been too high for any team to match. BTV accepts: Mayer for Reynolds Casas, Yorke, Walter & Duran for Reynolds (I'm not sure PIT accepts this one.) Do you approve of either deal?
  9. .455 4 14 in 37 PAs Duvall .197 11 43 in 351 PAs The rest of the team
  10. We are 5-5 after 2 cycles of our patchwork rotation. Here are our SP'er numbers (ERA/WHIP) 0.90/1.100 Pivetta (5.10 FIP) 4.50/1.100 Houck (5.10) 6.48/1.680 Kluber (8.44) 8.00/1.667 Crawford (5.73) 12K: 2 BB/ 3 HRs in 9IP 11.25/2.00 Sale (8.90) 4 HRs in 8 IP The pen has been a strength, so far: 0.00/1.667 Jansen (2.73) 1.00/0.667 Winck (1.95) 9 IP is 3rd on team (8K:1BB) 1.35/1.350 Kelly (4.60) 1.50/1.330 Martin (5.73) 1.80/1.600 Schreiber (3.40) 6.00/1.667 Bleier (2.40) 6.00/1.333 Ort (1.40) No BBs in 6 IP! 9.00/1.800 Brasier (5.40) I still feel, if we can lessen the IP by our bottom 3 pen guys and replace Crawford in the rotation with a successful Whitlock, our staff can be an overall plus.
  11. It's the way of the world, now. Sensationalism and focusing on the worst in everyone. I can see how this part of the book was something Sox fans would be interested in. I can see why someone, especially a non-Sox fan, would bring it to our intention. ' Just about every person of interest to the public faces this kind of scrutiny and exposure. It's no wonder, we end up with weirdos and narcissists running for public offices. What sane person would seek this out?
  12. He chose the most clickbait part of the book for Sox fans.
  13. I was thinking more in line with their key scouting and developing people. Their GMs and managers seem to come and go, seamlessly.
  14. These Rays are always doing better than what most pundits think they'll do. They have ex GMs and staff all over the league, but why is it so hard to emulate their system- or steal some key personnel away?
  15. Why can't Bloom find guys like them?
  16. I'd guess the Cards might pay part of his deal or like Bloom likes, throw in a prospect.
  17. Yes, that 0.00 ERA is a joke. Your Sox reclamation projects are working, so far.
  18. That's what I thought back in March.
  19. He's your longtime punching bag, for some reason, but at he does deserve harsh criticism. In his defense, of the top 9 batters by PAs on the Sox, 5 have better OBPs, counting Duval now on the IL, and 3 have worse (Arroyo, Casas & Wong.)
  20. It's a place to drink, where your wife won't hunt you down.
  21. I would not write Turner off, just yet. While it's true his OPS has dropped for 5 straight years, it had a starting point of .945 and was still .811 from 2021-2022. He ended last season as one of baseball's hottest hitter, and it wasn't over just a month or two: he hit .868 after May 9th (102 games and 426 PAs.) He hit .942 over his last 67 games and 280 PAs. He might b e all done, but let's see how the season plays out for Justin.
  22. Tonight's Line-Up with No Duvall: 1. Kike SS 2. Devers 3B 3. Turner DH 4. Yoshida LF 5. Refsnyder CF 6. Verdugo RF 7. Arroyo 2B 8. Casas 1B 9. Wong C
  23. These old schoolers don't count walks as success.
  24. Since it's the same wrist, I'd guess more than 12. Yes, Steve Adams reports it's broken: Red Sox center fielder Adam Duvall has been diagnosed with a distal radius fracture in his left wrist, manager Alex Cora announced to reporters Monday (Twitter link via Ian Browne of MLB.com). He’ll be placed on the 10-day injured list for now, with the expectation that he’ll miss several weeks of action. The team does not yet have an exact timetable for his expected recovery. Infielder Bobby Dalbec is up from Triple-A Worcester in place of Duvall, and utilityman Rob Refsnyder is slated to start tonight’s game in center field.
