    Or if the players he did have didn’t collectively struggle. Again - 7th in runs scored last year. Out with Bregman plus the 1b scrap heap. In with Durbin and Contreras. Did you at a minimum expect that to be better or worse than last year? And remember, after trading Devers, their offense went from 4.86 RPG to 4.84 RPG. They had the ability to score without him last year…

    Not that infrequent. Hes only missed 5 games this year and started all but 8 or 9. And almost all of it in the field since April 1. There was no real struggle to get “everyone” into the lineup. Cora had no issue benching Yoshida…

    At a minimum, Duran was expected to be and has been a full time starter…

    But how much of a bat did he really need? It’s easy to look at the list of the best free agents, claim the ones you like are needs, and then anssume everything works out better and there’s no ancillary fallout. They were a top ten offense last year even after trading Devers. They lost Bregman and Toro/Lowe. They added Contreras and Durbin. Is that a step forward, backward or status quo?The Sox were slow starters not due to not adding Alonso, but to the individual performances of Duran, Durbin, Story, and Narvaez along with the injury to Anthony. Getting a different DH doesn’t change any of that…

    Also Roman Anthony, who inarguably proved he at least deserved a chance to play every day…

    And when the players he acquired (and some vets) started hitting, this became a top ten offense. The Sox are 7th in runs scored in MLB since June 25th, which is where they were last year after trading Devers.

    Due diligence.

    So when the players started hitting, the team got better. Same players that struggled before. Not sure that’s the fault of the CBO…

    They were. You just didn’t like the solutions…

    Would you have been happier with Breslow if he traded for Lindor and he got his wrist broken by an HBP instead?

    Swapping out Bennett for Griffin? Hard pass…

    Im still disappointed with how infrequently this Sox team tries to steal. They have the wheels; why aren’t they rolling?

    Miguel Cabrera, Christian Yelich, Josh Beckett…

    Bad news sells. Even in sports…

    I like sac bunting if runners are on 1st and 2nd with no one out and the 8 or 9 spot hitter up. Unless the pitcher walked both runners on. Then take a few pitches in case he still hasn’t found the zone…

    How many ways do we need to skin a cat? And why is anyone doing this at all?

    Miami doesn’t seem to let performance dictate trades like they do contracts. They traded a reigning MVP once…

    You know Story, assuming (and safely so) he is still here, is getting the job once he returns. I’ll take Cheng with his .600 OPS and defense over Story and his .542 OPS with limited defense…

    Hopefully. But Wacha will be popular among teams that miss out on Skubal and maybe Peralta. Breslow isn’t much for outbidding…

    You might not even be downgrading expected runs if you get the infield to come in…
  21. notin
    Or the deeply insightful complaints from Michael Holley..,
  22. notin
    They say he isn’t giving himself up for an out, which is why the statement is limited to sacrifice bunting…
  23. notin
    Especially if you only saw those two bad throws against the Reds and Brewers…

    There’s a big difference between “this guy is terrible “ and “this guy is terrible this year.”

    The Sox really need to stop trying to change everyone’s swing…
