Grissom went 4-5, yesterday. Maybe, just maybe...
-
The DSL Red Sox continue winning every playoff game. They won today 10-1
-
This has to be the lowest point of the year, except for maybe before the season began.
-
The pitching ignoring actually began after we traded for Nate in the summer of 2018 (under DD.) Sure, DD extended Sale & Nate (not the best of moves, in hindsight,) but he added no other pitchers after Nate. After 2019, we let Kimbrel & Kelly (and PomPom) go without replacing them. To me, that was the start of ignoring, and it showed, immediately.

This has to be viewed as the beginning of a playoff run or something I do not want to even think about. "Just win, baby!"

I was hoping we'd be closer to a playoff slot than we are now, but the next two weeks might be out best shot at getting us into the dance. We play 5 vs TOR in 4 days, then 3 at DET and 3 at NYM, before coming back home for 3 vs the CWS, after a day off. That's 14 games in 14 days. We are 4 games down in the loss column to KCR and MIN. The KCR play 7 v CLE, 4 @HOU, 3 v MIN and 3 @ NYY in the next 17 days. MIN has it a little easier, but they end the year with 4@CLE, 3 @ BOS and 3 vs BAL out of their last 13 games. There is still hope, but we will have to see some pen arms turn it around, and our SP'er get through the 4-6 inning mark. GO SOX!
-
Really quite unexplainable, as is maybe their road record.
-
I know. I'm finding it hard to cling to a sliver of hope. I'm looking at our next 14 games, as well as KC's and others ahead of us, and am thinking the next 2 weeks should help decide the issue of holding onto hopes.
-
Do you really think all he "expected" was near $162M/6? With BorA$$ as his agent? I could be wrong with my speculation, for sure, but I think if he was happy with $162M/6, we'd have made a real offer, somewhere near that 2-3 years prior to his signing w SDP. Just my take. He saw what some other SSs got, and was easily justified in thinking $200M was legit, even if $200M/11.
-
Yes, I get that, and the "fitting ending" relates to the team's chances, too...maybe?
-
You packing in this season? (I can't blame you.)
-
Jh Garcia with another 2 hit game. E R-C 5 IP, 4H, 2ER, 1BB, 4K for GRE
-
Very sad loss in a pretty close to must win situation. Coming close is getting tiring.
-
I don't disagree, but pen arms are often up and down. I'm not projecting an "up" from ours, but it is possible. It might be too late, even if it somehow happens.
-
Sickening feeling in the gut area.
-
I'm saying what he might have expected. Story probably expected more than $140M/6, too. One major difference was that Bogey was not recently injured when signed. I do not think Bogey expected as low as $162M/6. I think he was looking for 7-8 years, minimum. Maybe $190M/7. Semien got $175M/7. Seager got $325M/10. Lindor got $341M/10. Do those numbers matter? I'm just talking what I think he and BorA$$ were "expecting," and not what I think they'd get. What was Monty expecting, last winter?
-
Man, 1st and second with no outs and Casas and Devers up to bat... POOF!
-
Tough inning for Houck, who is now at 76 pitches. Our rotation has really had a hard time in the 5th and 6th inning (4th for some,) recently. Before today... 224 runs allowed in innings 4-6 185 innings 7-9 (24 less IP, due to some games with no 9th IP.) 173 innings 1-3 88 7th 79 6th 73 4th 72 5th (75, after today)
-
Just like that, Devers has more RBI per PA than his career norm. (previously, he was ahead of his career RBI per AB.) Can we now stop with the low RBI talk?
-
The DSL Red team keeps winning in their post season (4-0, now.) They scored 2 in the bottom of the 9th to win 8-7 via 2 sac flies. Payano pitched 5 innings of 1 hit and no BBs (4Ks.) Early just struck out Rizzo with a man on 2nd and 3rd to hold the game at 1-1 in the 5th. 4.2IP, 4H, 1ER, 2BB, 9K. (9Ks out of 14 outs) He was just pulled from the game.
-
Gotta hope Houck can stay sharp into the late innings, here. How about a crooked number, this inning?
-
Agreed, but I do think expecting $200M offers was entirely within reason for a SS with his consistent record. I think might have expected something like $220M/9 or $230M/10. I just don't think the Sox would ever have come near offering that amount, and that is why they signed Story and apparently never even made an official offer, until maybe that one at the end. They knew, through talks, that they were far away from making an acceptable offer. To me, the best chance they had was when he signed the contract with DD. Maybe offering more, then, and not having an opt out, or pushing the opt out back a year or two was our best chance at signing him, within the context of how high JH would ever go. With XB's defense not being all that good, and some metrics say he was among the very worst, I can understand why no $200M offer was made. In hindsight, if this decline in his offense is for real, maybe we made the right call. It will take years to know this. (This is not to say I am glad he is not still here. I wish we still had him.)

I think the "most" extreme would have been trading Crochet at the deadline, but they are about as bad as a team can get (by choice.)
