  1. It's my opinion, DD would not have stuck around for the demands made to Bloom and now Brez.
  2. Maybe we can hope for... 1-1 v ATL 4-0 v CWS 3-3 v PHI & NYY for an 8-4 mark. (more likely... the best might be 1-1 v ATL, 3-1 v CWS, 2-4 v PHI & NYY for a 6-6 stretch.) I'd be happy w 7-5.
  3. Just like that, we are back over .500 and at #7 in the AL, just 2.5 GB MIN. We are also just 2.0 Games Ahead of last place TBR & TOR. It looks like "one of those years."
  4. Woo lost. Wink got rocked hard. I Campbell and Z Kelly looked good in relief. Dalbec homered (2-4) Meidroth walked 3 times POR won. Teel 3 for 4 w 4 rbi. Mayer 1-4 w 2BB. Lugo with 2 hits and staying above 1.000. McDonough 3-5 (up to .781) GRE was shutout 4-0 JH Garcia 2-3 w HBP SAL lost 7-6
  5. It was and still is that simple.
  6. Indeed and in many ways.
  7. Hendiks closes, Slaten top set up man. I’m not sure Fulmer starts the year as#3 in the pen
  8. I’d guess closer to 80 than 84.
  9. Indeed. It being all about money in both cases is the biggest similarity.
  10. This begs the question on our past pitching gurus. Did we have other Houcks in the past, but bumbled their development and choice of pitching strategy? We’ve heard a lot about how poorly our system has been at acquiring and developing young pitchers, but now, we seem to have a few very promising arms. Most are the same guys we had before, when we said we sucked.
  11. It’s the one thing every Sox fan agrees with. Betts and Ruth.
  12. Agreed, but we obviously thought we didn’t need more than Giolito, so they must have had some faith in him.
  13. I think Abreu will be the FT RFer, and we sign a pier RHB to be the DH/RF or 1B back-up. I hope but don’t think we add a TORSP, but maybe Pivetta returning would be enough, if we can stay healthy.
  14. 78-84 wins. I’m not fooled.
  15. This is the first time I have ever heard this.
  16. ...and O'Neill can't fix that, unless we move Rafaela to SS FT. With a middle IF or Rafaela & Grissom, it's hard to expect much offense or power.
  17. I guess you could look at ruin differential, and say we should have more wins, so are underperforming, in that sense.
  18. They are delusional or liars. Neither choice is flattering.
  19. I love these new articles by sp's.
  20. Not a bad seat in the place. Very cozy and comfy. I did not make it, last year.
  21. No doubt, our offense looks putrid. I'm not sure Casas coming back hot would make a big difference. We probably need Casas and O'Neill lighting things up, as well as others busting out of their slumps, at the same time and for an extended time to salvage any hop for this season- not that there was all that much to begin with. For the month of May, we only have 1 batter with more than 55 ABs and a .789 OPS (Devers.) Only 3 batter have 55+ ABs and an OPS over .712 in May: .925 Devers .789 Duran .787 Abreu (Ref is at .809 w 54 ABs/ DHam at .833 w 47 ABs in May) We have 7 batters with 30+ ABs and an OPS below .650 in May. (5 are below .565) The rotation has been showing signs for regressing, as the defense seems to be limiting major costly mistakes as much as earlier, this season.
  22. We do play DET and CWS in 7 of the next 9 games, so I would not be so sure. That being said, I would not bet we do get over .500, again.
  23. Agreed. I remember thinking he did the right thing, despite some flack he got from the media.
