  1. Who knows? Story had started every game this year, the only player to do so, so maybe he was due for a day off. Could be he was so amped up he really would have been of less use than usual. One thought though, the last left side infielder who got upset at the front office was sent to the West Coast pretty quickly. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
  2. Plus it was the second out of the inning. The first was the OF catching the ball.
  3. Also took a really good play by the OF running all out towards the line (away from the throw), whirling and making a pretty good throw. It was a smart attempt by Rafaela. The dumb part was Ceddnne doing a pop up slide there. Stay on the ground and he stays safe.
  4. No. Mayer has to be given the chance to show that he can or can’t hit lefties at least at a passable level. A platoon ala Cora won’t provide that. Leave Durbin at 3rd for now.
  5. Breslow fired the staff. Doesn’t mean his ass isn’t on the line. I’m guessing he doesn’t survive the season.
  6. I’m going to watch the last 2 episodes of Season 1 of The Pitt. l really feel I wasted $130 on the MLB. tv package. There’s nothing interesting about this team.. if the youngsters were showing something, or one guy was hitting a bunch of homers. But there isn’t.
  7. If I’m another GM, I’d take Bello but I’m not giving up more than a kid in A ball and the Sox are going to eat every bit of salary beyond the MLB minimum.
  8. I’m a little behind on the broadcast and catching up, but I’m wondering if after that walk Bello looked at the pen (where no one is warming up). Cora saw that and I want to think Alex told him you’re eating this one tonight, so figure something out.
  9. Odds are that’s the extent of the offense tonight.
  10. Bello pitches 6 innings tonight. Don’t care how many pitches he throws. Then, he gets sent to Portland, and I’d even consider sending him to Greenville (High A). A message needs to be sent both to him and everyone else.
  11. But he’ll go out and get one and it probably won’t take too long. Breslow would sit around analyzing his spreadsheet and all of a sudden game 162 has been played.
  12. No need to rush Arias up. They rushed Campbell and seemingly made a mess of him. I don’t trust this FO with any prospect.
  13. For those who complained about Suarez, when you have to pitch a shutout to stay even … Fatse and his assistants need to go tonight.
  14. Unless they put someone on the IL (Gray?), he’s not eligible to return until the 29th (pitchers have to spend 15 days in the minors if optioned).
  15. or maybe Chapman won’t be used. Does Watson stay in to try for his first save?
  16. Not the worst news. Now we wait to see if it’s true.
  17. Why the hell is Contreras bunting? I don’t think that came from the bench.
  18. I did look at last season’s game logs. Anthony hit about .200 over his first 20 games, so who knows. If/when Fatse goes, it will be no sacrifice. I can think of literally no one who has improved under his tutelage here. I read last week that last season Bregman noticed something in Story’s swing and that is what led to Trevor’s good last 2/3 of the season. Fatse did nothing.
  19. Everybody that season had a Sox offense. IIRC, Yaz was the only AL hitter to clear .300. The All-Star game thst year was 1-0 on an unearned run.
  20. Scary part is how fast he’s lost it the last two starts. Today was.decent and then all of a sudden bam.
  21. Pretty sure I said most of the other 10 declined an interview. I remember Kapler was interviewed as was one internal option (Romero?). Sox obviously decided no on those 2.
