Or, as you are implying, Cora sees Devers as a difficult person to move in this situation…

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
notin replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
You’d think the Ghost Runner might bring it back somewhat. Although the 2021 date is easily explainable, as the NL officially adopted the DH in 2022. Not like pitchers are good for anything else at the plate… -
Exactly the point. Not to mention, errors are just some guy’s opinion and a lot of them can go either way or should really be attributed to another player…
-
Are you saying the guy with the .900 fielding percentage is better than the guy with the 1.000? Plus, if you watched closely, a couple of those error calls could have gone either way…
-
I can award 5 points for that answer…
-
Agreed. My standard hypothetical to demonstrate. You hit 100 identical groundballs to two shortstops. One gets to 80 but makes all his plays. The other gets to all 100 but makes 10 errors. Who’s the better fielder?
-
Misleading interpretation , and you know that as we’ve covered this before. You have to count the holds, too, since there is no such thing as a Blown Hold. The true number is 11 out of 34 opportunities. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=0&season=2025&month=0&season1=2025&ind=0&team=0%2Cts&sortcol=12&sortdir=default&pagenum=1 The Sox had two blown saves last night. One from Whitlock in the 6th, which was never going to be a save. And one from Weissert in the 10th…
-
Well, bringing in the ones on the roster didn’t work so well…
-
They might help themselves by not taking any young pitcher with velocity and potential that also has a history of arm trouble or never started before and trying to force them into the rotation…
-
At least he’s stepping up while others have stepped back.
-
And given the levels of superstition and OCD that are rife among MLB clubhouses, this decision would be immensely unpopular with the players…
-
It seems odd to do so today, but I’m defending Weissert. He’s appeared in 19 games this year and only given up runs in 3 of them. And he caught flak for his Blown Save last night, but that was a product of the Ghost Runner rule. The reality is all he did was give up a 2-out single. Under normal (re:sensible) circumstances, it would have gone unnoticed…
-
No. He’s in Worcester. Sent back down on May 3rd to activate Bernardino from the bereavement list…
-
Probably better at hockey, too…
-
And yet both are doing their jobs. And I say this as one who has been critical of the Wilson signing since seconds after it happened…
-
Long history of arm trouble has kept him down. He is earning a cup of coffee right now. But he’ll probably give himself third degree burns with it…
-
You can always go see Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena…
-
Your backyard sounds like an episode of “Marty Stouffer’s Wild America”. I’m jealous…
-
What is it in Mayer’s past performance that lead to this conclusion? The scouting reports on Soxprospects says “Instinctual defender with fluid actions. Looks like he is gliding on the field. Soft hands and solid footwork. Moves well and has plenty of range for shortstop. Confident defender; will take a flashy infield.” Hardly the same level of criticism…
-
So you think the best defensive SS above A ball in the entire organization should be utilized at the easiest defensive position on the field?

Calling up the kids isn’t going to fix the bullpen. (Well, maybe Guerrero.) But have we really reached the point where every stumble is an excuse to call up Anthony and/or Mayer? It is possible moving Tanner Houck to the bullpen could help. Houck is having a bizarre season in the rotation. In 43.2 IP, he has been charged with 38 ER. In 43 of those IP, he’s given up 21 ER. And in the other 0.2 IP, he’s been charged with 18 ER. He’s not shown he can be trusted as a starter. Hopefully a move to the bullpen can produce a turnaround similar to what St. Louis is getting out of Steve Matz. That does leave a gaping hole in the rotation. With Crochet, Giolito, Dobbins and Bello in place, there’s no real option for a fifth. Criswell? Newcomb? Most likely someone like that until one of Buehler, Crawford or Fitts returns. (Although I think Fitts should go to the bullpen, too.) -
Is Hendriks hurt or something? Why bring Weissert back out?
-
He gave up a single. If not for stupid Ghost Runner rules, you’d think nothing of it…
-
The emergence of Abreu does have me thinking Duran is the best trade bait. But no rush to promote Anthony. If you deal away an OF, and promote Anthony, then who takes over for the next injury? Trayce Thompson?

Brown deserved an Oscar nomination…
