    I see the newly added Delete feature. But sadly I can only delete my own posts…

    Oh how convenient. We just missed out on the definition by Vegas odds, which are solely based on team baseball ability and don’t take anything else into account, like volume of action on each team, etc. 42-16 in their past 58 games - more than a third of a season - and you’re still mad that the Sox didn’t build the team your way …

    I think far too many on here think “this team sucks!! They make 27 outs EVERY GAME!!”

    So what are the qualifications to be a serious contender for a ring?

    Claiming teams assume entire contract. The scenario you’re talking about is for players that clear waivers and get released…

    Not in July it isn’t…

    For high school baseball, my weakness was throwing. And girls. Also I’m 5’7” and MLB can only have so many Freddie Patek’s…

    Yeah, Rutschman needs you to tell him how a major leaguer behaves…

    Third best record in the AL isn’t competitive? Are people serious here?

    Can we get through this year’s postseason first?

    High school football? I mean, if you a son, nephew or grandson, etc. playing, I get it. Beyond that, it’s weird to me. But not nearly as weird as complaining about the “MLB product” at a time when the Sox are still rolling, while also hyping the WNBA and NASCAR (which is not a sport IMO)…

    Not sure if you heard, but Mayer got traded a while back. No idea why his activities with Mayer became such a big deal. The whole idea that a guy with a partial tear of a ligament in one finger should rest at home in a hermetically sealed bag until he can play baseball again feels kind of controlling to me. He signed on with the Boston Red Sox, not the US Army…

    AAA stats are meaningless for players coming off rehab …

    The Jays DFAd Simeon Woods Richardson. He has no options, but he still might be worth a claim…

    And apparently doesn’t require him to eat large volumes of innings, which is good because, as you said, he’s an innings eater…

    Burgos isn’t a major league pitcher. Hes a fringey call up at best. The good news for the Sox is even in a double header, they really didn’t burn out their bullpen too badly…

    Both of which are things of the past at ballparks, unlike slumps…

    Thats 3 hard hit balls off Bello in a row…

    Go 0 for 5 and have no one care?

    Rutschman made a great baserunning play no one mentioned. When trying to get back to first base and avoid being doubled off, his slide was right into Goldschmidt’s glove . Heck he was looking at the glove as he slid. Effectively he was blocking any throw back to first, probably intentionally. It’s no wonder the throw did hit him. Heads up baseball, folks…

    I would rather have Duran in there. Yes White had a 70ft-15mph single, and wound up bring the Sox only hit with RISP. But it was the 6th inning, and that means his spot was guaranteed to bat again. Duran - whom you have defended adamantly this year, unlike me - is a guy I’d prefer coming up in the 9th vs Bednar, even with his limited success against the Yankee closer (0 for 2 with 1 BB). I don’t consider 2 ABs an adequate sample size for anything. And Rafaela didn’t screw up twice. Thr first one was definitely on him. But Bellinger nailed him at home plate with a beautiful throw that threaded the needle from 200 feet away, putting the ball into a six foot gap in between home plate and a runner moving 30 feet per second, and did so in a way that the act of catching the ball put Wells’ glove in position to make the tag. But with one out already, Rafaela has to go rather than risk two outs, and the Sox had to hope the ball carried up either line or hit Rafaela or hit the dirt and did a pop up bounce or anything but go exactly where it went. That wasn’t bad baserunning; it was stellar defense…

    As mentioned in another thread, Whitlock is back and Burgos is up as the 27th man. Presumably Olds is back in Worcester….

    I think a lot of it was Law of Averages stuff. The team wasn’t as bad as their record indicated early on. Remember early in the year when there was a thread about how the Sox had essentially the same stats as the Padres but a much, much worse record? Well, now we have a similar record, too…

    I knew where to get the numbers, it was the league-leading part I questioned. 12 RBIs in the 9th and later does seem like a lot. But one third of those came on 1 swung in Miami, and he certainly isn’t the only player to hit a grand slam in the 9th or later. (Heck he isn’t the only Sox player to do it this year.)

    The only point would be he was pinch hitting Jones for gor in the 6th, which I don’t consider “late innings” (your mileage may vary). But anyone batting in the sixth will bat again in a road game…
