No word on who Whitlock replaces. I assume it’s Olds…
-
Is that true? I have no idea where to get that split… -
I could add a bit of bad luck. If Abreu’s double doesn’t bounce into the stands, Rafaela might have scored there. Ramos wasn’t exactly being aggressive in tracking that ball down…
-
Pitching was great. Offense was weak. Rafaela’a baserunning is being overblown. Bellinger made a remarkable throw to get him at the plate. I do think Tracy overmanaged. I get pinch hitting Jones for Gasper. But White for Duran? Didn’t Duran’s last AB vs a LHP result in a grand slam? Monasterio for Seigler is a toss up…
-
Not technically true. (White got a hit with RISP last night, for example. Just not a run-scoring one.) No runs scored, but that’s not the same…
-
With no outs, yes. With one out you send him. Bellinger had to thread a crazy needle to get him out there…
-
But you can’t demote all the non-starting infielders. That leaves either White or Jones. As Jones has been as good or better than Gasper and unlike Gasper, has no options, that makes no sense. That leaves White, who is the only real backup outfielder. Also no options. Demoting Gasper lets them keep everyone. That will (should?) be a big factor…
-
Or Rust-Oleum…
-
I assume you mean 20:29 tonight. I will say that is a new level of specificity for this forum. Not nailing down EST vs CST?
-
If Roman comes back, he (Gasper) gets relegated to the bench anyway. Probably won’t matter since they are unlikely to activate everyone before Tuesday. But if they do - what 3 players do you demote instead?
-
Gasper might face a demotion when everyone returns simply because he has options. To get Story, Anthony and IKF back, the Sox only need to open up one space on the 40 man roster. So bye, Brett Harris. We hardly knew you. But to get all 3 on the active roster, 3 players need to be demoted (assuming they all get activated in the next 3 days, which probably won’t happen). So the players that can be demoted include Seigler, Sogard, Gasper, Wong and Monasterio. Wong is pretty unlikely since, despite his rough stretch behind the plate, he is still a better catcher than Gasper. (Relegating Gasper to the BUC role handicaps him as a DH, as well). And figure the Sox need to keep at least one backup infielder, likely not Tony Seagulls. Doubtful the Sox DFA either White or Jones when the alternative is to demote Gasper for a couple days…
-
Story will return and will start. It doesn’t hurt his case that the Sox middle infield isn’t exactly manned by the second coming of Whitaker snd Trammell. This probably applies to Kiner-Falefa as well…
-
Not wild about Sandoval in game one, but maybe he can come through…
-
Or… Mattingly won’t be fired for not winning a World Series after taking over an underachieving team mid-season. Crazy thought, I know…
-
Has anyone ever won MOTY after being fired?
-
Think the Phillies can Mattingly before or after he gets nominated for NL Manager of the Year?
-
This was a “give some days off before the Yankee series” game…
-
Well, it’s not always obvious with runners in different heats and with comparing the results to previous years to determine records. No sport relies on automation for the results more than track and field. Also - no complaints about results to date…
-
He never said it was a good thing, just that it was the job that fit that criteria…

A Realistic View at the 2026 Red Sox Part II

And this is why I NEVER SAID Breslow ignored the bullpen. And I certainly didn’t post about it between 20 and 30 times. But on the off chance I did accidentally post something to that effect repeatedly, I would never deny it now like I am clearly not doing here in this post… -

Neither of whom were extended like Pratt was… -
Little known fact - if you count the beats in the first 14 seconds of any Crickets song and add 40, you get the temperature in Fahrenheit…

And the Byrds were named after the Beatles, which is why they spelled it incorrectly…

I assumed he was a stopgap they hoped might be something, but they were well positioned to take that gamble thanks to having Pratt and Williams… -
I don’t like horse racing either but it is still technically a sport. But if you want to disqualify based on personal criteria, what about the human version of the sport - track and field aka human horse racing? They’ve adopted many of the same automated mechanisms. MLB would still need umpires, including one at home plate…
