I'd have pulled him after 5, but that is not meant to be a knock on Cora. What's not to love about this guy, except too bad we couldn't start him today, too. -
A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

I love the 2027 option, too....whatever it is. -
Gotta like what this management team has been doing. What a breath of fresh air seeing us keep our winners, sign our young stars and yes, dump the deadwoods and malcontents.
-
FIRE BREZ is the mantra. Climb aboard the Fred Express.
-
You don't get it. notin would have loved for us to get Ryan. I was driving the Ryan bandwagon. The point, was, had he gotten him, and he had a 5.00 ERA since the trade, you'd be calling him and idiot and saying we should fire him. Sorry, but your last shred of cred is dead, Fred. Maybe you should "fire" yourself.
-
It just takes two days. Two freaking days! Back to fire everybody!
-
"Sign him?" That would be stupid as hell. They get in trouble for signing a player under contract for 2 more years!
-
Every GM who ever lived should be fired. (Actually, so far all of term have!)
-
Yes. I know, Ryan has sucked as long as Rafaela has, was my point
-
He said 5+ since the deadline- you know- the same sample size you use for Rafaela.
-
I'm not sure if he'll be injured going forward, but it has to be a concern. It's not just the wrist injury that has forced missed time.
-
2B has been a terrible position for the Sox since Pedey, and even during his last years, we kept waiting for his return from the IL. Now, our best hope is a guy who is on the IL half the time- Mayer. Geeesh!
-
That's the spirit!
-
A stab in the dark. He's not yet the worst we tried: 8.04 Houck 9 GS (1.695 WHIP) 5.40 Buehler 22 (1.564) 5.01 May 5 (1.550 before today- other numbers count today) 4.83 Fitts 10 (1.317) 4.43 Newcomb 5 (1.925 WHIP) That's 51 GS, and some say our bats are our weakest area.
-
We do have a few names on our roster that are such glaring holes that it's easy to wonder why they are here, and even more so, why are they playing so much,
-
They dumped a huge Devers contract and took back a tiny fraction of his cost in Hicks. I'm fine with that being all on Brez. Thanks Brez! They coulda cut Hicks, day one, and it was still worth it.

May Day, MAY DAY!

No doubt the pitching was the major part of this stretch, but come on. There were plenty of key hits, including Rafaela's homer. How about Romy's 8th inning RBI to win the BAL game 3-2? I guess the 5 runs scored in the 5-0 win don't count, because it was a shutout, despite there never being a 0-0 win in MLB history. The 12-1 win, the same. s***** offense due to no key hits. Let's not count Duran's 3 run homer in a 3-1 games. We shoulda scored 8 in the game our staff let up 7 vs the Yanks. The 1-0 win vs the Yanks certainly had very few big hits, but Wong's still counts. Down 3-2 to the Yanks in game one and a 6-3 win involved zero key hits. These were team wins during a time when the pitching was doing very well. Most of the best stretches involve good pitching. I've always believed that, but our bats have been good enough.
-
Too bad that's not a clutch hit by Romy, because there were not 2 outs. (LOL)
-
While true, you don't win 7 out of 8 with no key hits.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
moonslav59 replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Recently, yes, but every area has had ebbs and flows. The defense and baserunning has had stretches of bone head plays. The pen had a mid season meltdown. The back end starters have been awful, pretty much all year, except for a few starts by Dobbins, Fitts and now one by Tolle. The bats have been a rollercoatser. -
A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
moonslav59 replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I'm hopeful we filled some high need areas over the season: Anthony add to the offense ahet the Devers trade took away. Tolle provides hope for a SP'er beyond our top 3 studs. (May looks better than Buehler, newcob, Houck and some others) Slaten provides hope for the pen depth we need. Lowe looks like a viable 1B solution (w Romy as the platoon) DHam is playing well, again, and offers some hope at making 2B passable. Wong is hitting better. There are still some concerns, like 5th starter, pen depth & 2B. -

I'm fine with his defense and effort. I agree on him needing to not get hurt. I wish Mayer had avoided injury, although DHam is carrying the load at 2B, like nobody else has, all year. (Small sample size, yes.) Have we found temporary fixes for 2B and 1B? -
Doesn't jump out as a big weak area, and this is a team that is "slumping" on offense. 6 over .800 7 over .760

I've mentioned that maybe they are trying to "hide" Mullins from other teams, so as to avoid a Rule 5 selection, this winter, but that seems like an absurd idea. I can't think of any other reason for the 24 year old to not be at WOO. It's not like Drohan and De Leon, two current rotation pieces at Woo, are promising MLB depth needed to stay sharp in a AAA setting in case of emergency. Sandlin was moved to the pen. Tolle was promoted. Fitts, Criswell & others are on the IL. I see no viable reason. Maybe MVP can enlighten us. Soxprospects,com has Mullins projected as the 5th pen arm on WOO for 2026. (They do have Tolle listed for Woo, as well as other starters: Fitts, Early, Uberstine, Drohan & Wehunt with Perales, Coffey and Anderson as "PB Starters.") The pen is ranked as such: Sandlin, Murphy, Guerrero, Moran & Mullins. I hope he is not selected on Rule 5 Day. Maybe we protect him.
