If the Yankees want him, they’re going to get him and there is very little Dombrowski can do about it. A lot of people on here seem to want the Sox to get players to keep them off the Yankees, but that isn’t going to happen. Not with our farm. That would be like me trying to buy a South Pacific island to keep it out of the hands of Bill Gates...

In the postseason, bullpens are very coften required to get 12 outs, and occasionally more...

f*** Britton. While a lefty reliever would be nice, the Sox have bigger needs, namely rotation depth. Getting someone like Britton, who will maybe pitch 10 to 15 innings the rest of the way, is a waste of limited trade resources from the Sox...

It’s a bit early to start worrying about Swihart’s impact on the depth chart. The numbers about his offense that you like could look a lot less impressive in 10 more at bats. Vazquez is apparently out for a while. So unless Swihart becomes worthwhile trade fodder, we are likely to learn a lot more about him...
-
It looked to me like Sale started to get angry with management over the whole Adam LaRoche incident, where he was a very outspoken critic of the front office. The jerseys thing looked like nail number two...

Maybe, but getting another backup catcher is never a struggle...
-
So... likelihood he is still in Boston on August 1?
-
As he doesn’t have a concussion, there isn’t a shorter term DL to put him on. And maybe the Mets need another starter in the meantime...
-
Improvement does take time. He’s only been in MLB for one full season...
-
But then if Swihart gets hurt while playing 3b, it does put the Sox in a potentially precarious position. There is a reason teams rarely pinch hit for even the weakest hitting of catchers...

Santiago Casilla, former Oakland and San Francisco closer who was recently DFA’d for poor performance, possibly due to age and/or nagging injuries...

Tampa qualifies as a buyer by this logic, but they have already done some selling, trading Colome and Span...

Only typed it once, and even then as a deliberate response to SoxHop. But beyond that - never!! I can’t stand it when my 11 year old responds to me with that...

The original family name was Oldirtybastardo...

That’s ok. I’m actually embarrassed that I did know the Sox signed him...

Except that he probably doesn’t want to do that. The Ryan Dempster/Gil Meche types who retire mid-contract and forego the remaining money are indeed the minority, regardless of the post-playing opportunities. And we as fans shouldn’t expect them to do so, regardless of how obvious the need to retire is. We demand a high level of competitiveness and intensity from players and then, when their play no longer suits us, expect them to suddenly dial back? Pedroia will be here for a few more years. The Sox might be wise to keep depth around him. And might be wiser to not rely on Marco Hernandez for that depth...,

You have to do what other teams did - sign borderline pitchers to MiLB contracts. I know some fans think of this as “dumpster diving” and they prefer only adding quality veterans or letting prospects pitch. But once you have 5 quality veterans, it’s near impossible to add one more for depth. And using minor leaguers is fine, but you do have more options if you have more depth...

Meh. Oh you knew someone was going to say it...

Phillips cannot be brought up in September until he is added to the 40-man roster first. Someone has to go from that to make room for him too. ..

When it comes to inspirational movie speeches, no one will ever top Bluto Blutarski. “Was it over when the ...Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” Which is why Bluto would be my coach...

And it took FOREVER...

Oddly enough, one movie that gave some really good insight into coaching and managing was "Little Big League," which seemed like such a stupid idea for a movie, and yet it worked on many levels. Very underrated baseball movie...

Cl;int Eastwood, Amy Adams and baseball? That is a formula for cinematic perfection to me. So yes, I saw it but was disappointed. Although I agree it was a cute and predictable movie. It felt like "The Phemon" from the scouts point of view...

I think their brashness dealt more with my constant repetitiveness and singular approach. Hey I'm not saying I didn't deserve it...

Not true. It makes the defense worse...
