    I think Dalbec could handle any corner spot defensively, although RF at Fenway might be a challenge. But will his small scale TTO offense keep him in the lineup? Especially as a replacement for Betts? But then, don’t you think RF is locked up for the next season and a half?

    Well, they’re 2.5 out from a spot in the wild card game right now...

    Great. A 34yo pitcher whose thrown 78 mostly ineffective innings in the past 2 years combined while battling numerous injuries and domestic issues. What could possibly go wrong?
  4. notin
    I think Dalbec is gone by August. It’s just a question of how much another team values him and what they’re willing to give up for his future...

    Maybe part of the problem is the Red Sox players and management also think they’re going to make the playoffs no matter what and think they can coast for a bit and suddenly turn it on. They might be right, but it certainly is putting a lot of questions in our heads...

    BoSox Injection yesterday listed their “5 Players That Could Be Traded” to improve the Red Sox. For those who skipped it, they were: 5. Eduardo Nunez 4. Steve Pearce 3. Tzu-Wei Lin 2. Sam Travis 1. Bobby Dalbec They kind of copped out a lot on Travis and Lin, citing they’d have to be part of a package, which, with no further specifics, applies to everyone in the Sox minor leagues. I think what they need to say is “could be the token exchange piece another team takes back when the Sox agree to a contract they want to get out of.” Otherwise, package with who? The guys listed 2-5 together aren’t that much of a package. Dalbec has a couple reasons to interest other teams. But I don’t expect an overwhelming return, but certainly someone who could contribute better than one of the incumbents...

    And I’m not all that certain DD is interested in Encarnacion. He had a chance to sign him when Encarnacion expressed interest in coming to Boston to replace fellow countryman David Ortiz at DH, which Edwin said would be an honor. Yet DD still passed. I doubt 2 years later DD is willing to give up prospects to get him for the same salary and only for 3 months. And the $20mill salary next year might not be as much of a selling point as the Mariners think, and is certainly a hefty price to pay for the right to offer a QO, which might be accepted by a 37yo DH, since a QO at that age is a likely career ender. The Sox need relief pitching. The Mariners have none...

    If you were GM if the Astros and sitting atop a boatload of prospects, is Moreland the guy you’d target to upgrade at 1b?
  9. notin
    When you give 8 free passes to 1b and 5 of them score, and you lose by 4, how do you blame the defense? “Hey defense!! Stop letting all the free passes score!!”

    Yeah I think the Sale and Bogaerts extensions killed any plans to reset. They’d have to make some near-impossible moves to do it now. Like trading Price...
  11. notin
    Does Houston have any incentive to be involved? They trade Gurriel and get back Moreland and Johnson, which seems like a lateral move at best...
  12. notin
    Reset?
  13. notin
    The Sox have reached a point where they have to play .638 baseball the rest of the way to reach 90 wins...
  14. notin
    And definitely not the walks!!!
  15. notin
    Oh I agree Mookie should have been moving just in case. But as Pence didn’t slip there was nothing he could have done...
  16. notin
    Something tells me you don’t expect a numerical answer there...
  17. notin
    For the record, I have never reported ANYONE to the admins. Not even the Yankee trolls. Never. Not on this board or any other...

    Well, yes. Sort of the point...

    I get the importance of rest and recovery, but st some point this team will need some wins...

    He’s definitely standing still at the beginning of the shot before Holt crashes into the wall. And the ball does sit at the wall for a long time before he finally ambles back on camera. I don’t think he had a shot at preventing the home run. But I can see why anyone would say he didn’t exactly hustle...

    The frequency with which this Big Dick Rick nickname gets used makes me think NESN has some sort of After Hours program I’m not watching...

    Ok. I had my questions because my calculator also believes in Bigfoot, a slew of Illuminati conspiracy theories, and everything it sees on “Ancient Aliens.” It might be time for a new calculator....
  23. notin
    0, obviously. Should I trust it?
  24. notin
    The Thunder Game Thread Jinx again?
  25. notin
    My calculator does seem to think it can multiply by zero...
