  1. It was nice seeing you be wrong, tonight. Maybe this is the start to something! LOL I'm not sure the word "flops" fits, as that implies we had good teams that underperformed. Maybe our management team are flops & misers, but the teams have largely played up to expectations.
  2. What a game baseball is, huh? We do still have a nice team. I get the point about the high cost of SP'ers, but not finding some cheap platoon bat for 1B is a real headscratcher. Nothing to do with anatomy.
  3. Sox now 4 down to TOR and the ALE lead. 1/2 behind NYY SEA playing TEX means one loses
  4. No deadline balls, but Bloom never made a trade like Crochet (or Sale.)
  5. Dham at .500 might still be better than Grissom, due to his D and running skills.
  6. It does suck, now. The deal was more about the long run, so I try to give the GM some slack. There were reasons, but they all ring hollow, now.
  7. I've given similar stats several times, before. Toto's nice run is over. It's time to call Campbell up for a chance at 1B. Too bad he's not the right hand to platoon with Romy, but we can use Romy at 2B, anyway.
  8. Why do you keep saying Toro is doing better than Devers. He's doing way worse since the trade, since opening day and over his career. That's not to say it wasn't the right thing to trade Devers- it was, but why misrepresent how well Toro is doing, when he has sucked for nearly 2 months now and was a .638 batter before the year began. The guy filled in well for Casas for a nice stretch. The stretch of sucking is way longer, now. .538 first 8 games. 1.102 next 16 games .587 last 39 games (not counting 0-3 tonight)
  9. Woo won 2, today. JH Garcia his a granny as Sandlin pitched very well. Kelly, too. Garcia had 2 hits in the other win. Harrison allowed 10 H+BB in 5 IP, but he only allowed 2 runs. Rogers pitched very well in the 2-1 loss by POR. Futrell went 5IP allowing just 1BB & 1 hit.
  10. Criswell did very well as a SP'er for the Sox, last year. We started 9 other pitchers before him, this year. It would have been 10 had Sandoval been ready.
  11. Bernardino has had some long stretches of good pitching, but he's been inconsistent. Murphy seems about the same as Bernie, to me. I'm still not sure why a LH RP'er was so high on our deadline wish list.
  12. I said the same thing, when it happened. He showed his hand. It wasn't about being "asked to play every position," it was about sticking it to his boss- a boss that was not the one who promised he'd play 3B forvers.
  13. I agreed that posting Devers numbers is fair game. (Just don't say Toro has done better.) I agree the trade was the right thing to do, but I would not use small sample sizes to make it look like Devers sucks. (I'm fine that others post those numbers.) I think Devers will hit well, again, and it will still be the right thing to do.
  14. They seem to think lying over and over again to their customers will never catch up to them. So far, it seems to have worked. "Full throttle" "Buyers" Once again, we're back to thinking of 2026 and beyond based on a fuzzy hope, we will swing the pendulum far enough to the hear and now to be serious contender. The thing is, we don't have to spend over the tax line or empty the farm. A healthy balance can be maintained, while we win, now. We just keep choosing to put it off another year, while we stockpile 18 OF'er & DH types. (Hyperbole alert.)
  15. One package included a ML OF'er, and likely not Tolle. I'd probably have preferred that offer. I wonder if Campbell was offered or asked for. We heard "no even close," so what was that about? Would Campbell, Garcia, Arias and Early have been enough?
