  1. Devers sits vs the lefty. How is Gonzo a better hitter than Renfroe is vs lefties?
  2. Gotta beat thus lefty. Could this be the line-up? 1. Kike CF 2. Verdugo RF 3. JD DH 4. Bogey SS 5. Devers 3B 6. Renfroe LF 7. Gonzalez 2B 8. Vazquez C 9. Dalbec 1B
  3. I didn't mean my comment to be directed at you. I think we both have similar views on the level of the 2021 Sox team. I have no issues with anyone who felt or feel like we cannot make the playoffs. I only felt like we could compete with near perfect health and almost everything going right. There's not much difference in our outlooks. I was directing that comment towards anyone who changed their views based on these two games or are suggesting a radical realignment of the team based on Devers looking bad on defense in two games (not that he wasn't bad before).
  4. No two games should ever change someone's mind,unless it's like game 6 & 7 of a playoff series.
  5. It's nice seeing baseball, again- weird with just 10% fans. (I think it could be 20-25% and still keep groups apart.) I thought, if everything goes right, we could compete for a WC slot. We still can, but what are the odds everything goes right?
  6. NESN sucks. Eck is good. That's it.
  7. I'm a huge stat geek, and I wanted us to pay Mookie.
  8. ...or, the budget became too big to afford Betts. It's not like the budget just went up and up by accident.
  9. This was not really a "rebuild" year, in terms of the ML roster for 2021. It was more of a bridge year. Too many one year deals to be thinking rebuild. We built the farm and the bottom of our 40m man roster first, which is a good plan. Next, we spend next winter to fill the numerous holes not filled by our young players on display, this year.
  10. If we traded JD, I don't think the main intent would be to get something back other than salary relief. I doubt we do like the Yanks did with Ottavino, since we want to hold onto our prospects. Would you agree we could maybe trade JD for nothing, if we got the other team to pay half? (Note: I'm not for doing that, right now, but ask me at the deadline.)
  11. What, with the Eovaldi signing? It started as soon as DD came aboard, but again, I'm glad we got to witness 2018.
  12. So, you think JD's open market value, right now, is about $7M x 2?
  13. Maybe, and it's not worth doing that, at this point, anyway.
  14. I'm not sure why so many people seem to be writing him off at 1B. Not that 1Bmen get major bucks, either, but I think he can and will be a plus defender at 1B, if he is ever moved there. Even if he does end up at DH, if JD was worth $22M, and maybe he wasn't, what should Devers get?
  15. ...but man-o-man, this sucks!
  16. Finally, a break our way.
  17. It's as much Bogey as Devers. Our Left Side IF sucks.
  18. Time for some thunder.
  19. Maybe not today, but I can't see us not being a top 10 scoring team in MLB. I'm guessing top 7.
  20. You can "emphasize" and practice extra time, but if you suck, you suck.
  21. Gotta K 27 to get a shut out! (sarcasm alert)
  22. Yes, and it's not about a tiny sample size. This will be a year long torment.
  23. Showed it's not about range. It's the arm. 2 runs on crappy ground balls, errors and passed balls.
