I guess, if we think Moreland is vastly better than Moose, Duda, Morrison and others, then maybe, but there was absolutely no rush to sign a 1Bman. It was the one position saturated with capable players. Now, as it turns out, Moreland is doing great, so the signing looks good, but Moose and Squirrel are doing very well, too... and for less money and/or years. Listed in order of RBIs. All with 120+ PAs, except MM... .191 6 26 Santana .298 10 25 M Adams .298 5 24 HRam .218 8 21 Alonso .325 6 19 Moreland (in just 80 PA!) .271 7 19 J Abreu .242 4 18 Duda .178 4 13 Morrison .263 5 12 The Hose

We lose 2 of 3 and now Max thinks better about us and worse about the Yanks.

Moreland has been great, and the more I bash him, the better he does. "Ignore the man behind the curtain." Maybe we found a real gem. My biggest beef is about Devers now being forced to learn defense at 3B during a championship run. I had also thought Moreland could keep HRam from vesting, but the way HRam is playing, that ain't happening.
-
Of all the times he pitched in bid games, that's not bad. (I know there are more than these listed.)
-
That doesn't worry me. All players look shaky for a few days here and there. He's been about as consistent as can be over the years. I worry about the rest of our pen, especially in big situations. I worry about our 3B defense. I worry about of CF offense. I worry a little about our catcher offense. I worry about Price's tingles and Smith's long return from injury. Those are my biggest worries right now, and I don't really think about them too often

Precisely.

We've been in just about every game we've lost. To me, that's a plus. Maybe to others, it just frustrates them more and makes the losses more memorable. This team is full of scrappy players. We never give up. I see a "fire and desire" I felt was missing last year. There seems to be a sense of urgency. Several players have carried this team for short stretches, while a few have done very well all year. ERod took a big step forward last night, and Pom seems to be nearing total rehab. Price and Smith are still question marks, but we have some depth and some players returning soon. I can't see how any Sox fan can be discouraged.

It's not so much the crude language as the knee jerk over reactions and negativity based on tiny sample sizes or bad stretches by the team or a player. I get that some people are much more emotional and maybe don't mean everything they say in the heat of the moment, but it gets way out of hand during a 2-3 game losing streak. I'll try to avoid posts and posters that depress me, but I like to read the flow of a conversation or debate. I know the majority of this board is very knowledgeable and respectful. I'm not going anywhere.
-
Yep, and our pen allowed 3.03 BB/9 which was 5th best in MLB and just 0.10 from 3rd place. 15 teams were over 3.50.
-
I used to totally ignore the game threads. Now, I join at the ends of games, as I watch the game on delay. I still love this team. It was expected we'd have a bad stretch or two. This is one. Hopefully, tonight's coronary win will trun things around.
-
Kimbrel is one of the players I least worry about.
-
That sounds easier than it is. I find myself reading evrything. Sometimes, I don't even look at the poster's name, unless I'm going to respond. For years, I never paid attention to who each poster was, except for certain clowns or noticeably good posters.
-
Despite Workman's high ERA, he has an 0.98 WHP and .661 OPS against. Maybe he can help at some point. Scott and Buttrey have some proving to do.
-
How do you block someone? Some of these guys are killing me!
-
This site is depressing me more than the 2 recent losses to the Yanks.
-
Yes, 29 teams are just salivating in wait.
-
JD should have plowed Chapman to Mars!

What a s***** night. Had some big hits, but we missed some golden opportunities.
-
Thanks to the shift.

Damn it!

Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?

I'm a huge JBJ supporter. He's maybe my favorite current Sox player. I'm all for this plan. -
trade him to SD for Margot and call it all even.
-
That might actually help him get to top form.

Swihart's time will be up.

I'd have 100 Ks in 100 PAs, assuming I wasn't demoted before that!!!!
