    BA counts on the scoreboard?

    I’m not fooled by 13 IP from Tayron Guerrero. 1. Yes to DFA Watson. Add Braiden Ward (who I am fooled by) and call him up. Demote Gasper. 2. Yes to flopping Story and Mayer. 3. At least until Anthony comes back. Either he helps the struggling offense or hits his way back on to the bench. 4. Kelly to mop up. Bello to Kelly’s role. Leave Bennett in the rotation with Suarez, Gray, Tolle and Early. 5. Maybe Weissert over Kelly for mop up? Kelly might be optionable for Rivera, or when Slaten returns.

    That was the first one. Jenny no doubt has some other murders her legal team kept from the light of day…

    I have no problem with Boston expecting Anthony to hit. It’s not like they threw him in there straight out of AA and expected it. He legitimately thumped MLB pitching for half the season last year. And he’s been crushing the ball this year as well, which you would know if you used your vaunted Eye Test to watch games instead of to look up baseball card stats incorrectly…

    How long is the leash on a $6mill utility infielder? Probably about 162 games. If they replace IKF, it’s not going to be wuth Matt Shaw,; it’s going to be with some other multi-positional scrub whose bat keeps him on MLB benches. Might as well release the bullpen catcher while we’re at it…

    It’s probably also not wise to build your team around defense when your defensive linchpin is an aging shortstop no longer capable of defending his position. Tampa doesn’t have solid bats up and down the lineup, and they have fewer than last year. But it’s not slowing them down. They replaced Brandon Lowe with some guy named Ben Williamson and it’s working for them…

    Fair point. But didn’t she get cancelled for that guest murdering her other guest? On a talk show, thats grounds for cancellation. But to us regular folk, thats a typical Thanksgiving…

    He didn’t ignore the offense. He just didn’t acquire the players you wanted. Not the same thing. But he added players, some of whom are not working out. That’s not ignoring the offense at all. He ignored the bullpen. He added only a Rule 5 pick, which is about as Wild Card as it gets, and two 36 year old stragglers still looking for work on the cusp of opening day, one of whom we haven’t even seen in Boston yet. That’s ignoring. By the way, we’re playing Tampa, who is winning with pitching and defense like they have for the past two decades…

    Please do not forget - and I posted the number previously - Durbin’s OPS is bolstered a surprising amount by his lone home run off Weston Wilson, who is not a pitcher and barely an outfielder. That home run accounts for 1/8 of Durbin’s total bases (4 of his 32).

    Who would have been happier? And would those smiles persist with Eaton in the starting lineup right now?

    Maybe kink-free, but after a week you’re 21 miles from home!

    Boston was the first team to score more than 3 runs against Tampa in 2 full weeks…
  13. notin
    Clearly. Duran finally had a good week, but it still hasn’t made up for his horrific start. Story is just looking useless on both sides of the ball. Durbin only recently got out of a slump that was worse than the one that got Campbell banished. But we need Eaton over Yoshida to fix this!

    Agree that leadoff was stupid. But was Anthony walking because pitchers were pitching around him? And hey, take what they give you. Anthony has the better StatCast profile, inferior to Caminero in Bat Soeed (where all of MLB is inferior to Caminero) and Barrel %. Anthony has better exit velocity, sweet spot and hard hit percentages. (This is 2026 only.) The baseball card numbers will even out in time…

    Well, if a TALK SHOW said it, I mean. Thsts the Biblical Word. Ignite the metrics!! Ignore StatCast! They are but there to fool you! The Mighty Talk Show hosts have made their decree! All hail talk shows!!

    Roman Anthony - 128 OPS+ Junior Caminero - 125 OPS+ I think a lot of Anthony detractors suddenly praising Caminero as better missed out that a month ago, Junior was stepping up with a .699 OPS…

    Sure they do. And that guy isn’t beating them…

    Ignoring the bullpen all off-season was Breslow’s biggest mistake…
  19. notin
    If they did, the roster would only have 6 players on it…

    I don’t mind that walk
  21. notin
    Fun fact: Ryan Watson leads all Sox relievers in IP. Not good considering he’s the mop up guy…
  22. notin
    I guess it’s time for Weissert to give up his customary home run now…
  23. notin
    They might extend Suzuki, who is one of, if not the most underrated hitter in MLB. But even if they don’t, they still have Kevin Alcantara and Jonathan Long looking for jobs. Long would be a project, as he’s only played corner INF. Hinestly, I thought they should have traded him after he skipped a game in the middle of a postseason chase in order to attend Charlie Kirk’s funeral. Priorities, dude…
  24. notin
    Well we held him in check in 2022…

    Ummm… new to sports? Thats textbook fan behavior. Visit any web forum for a team or listen to any sports radio channel or watch any local news program that covers sports. The common theme across the board is “Bipolar Overreaction”…
