But the division arrangement gives some teams an unfair advantage. The Blue Jays were the third wild card in the AL last year but they won more games than the AL Central champion Twins…
-
Don’t blame me. Blame the duckhead who put the “i” and the “u” next to each other on the keyboard…
-
No because of how they phrase it. A team finishing 84-78 is said to be 6 games above .500. But an 81-81 team is only 3 games behind them despite being .500. Where did those other 3 games go? Did the bellhop take them?
-
You'd have to ask Lugo. If you need to find him, look on base. He's there about 43% of the time...
-
Lugo is making a strong bud to grab opposing scouts’ attention. No one listed Fitts. Untouchable?
-
Not a surprise. Gray was the AL Cy Younnf runner-up, AL ERA runner-up, and got MVP votes…
-
Most likely the Sox will be in between, since they have been for the past two years. My biggest question isn’t if they buy, but what they buy with. The sell plans are always obvious…
-
I just wonder if the Sox are in the hunt at the deadline, what prospects that other teams will actually want would be considered the best trade fodder. If we assume Anthony, Mayer and Teel are untouchable, who should the Sox trade?
-
But you will allow the rest of us to discuss it if we want to?
-
I know. It’s cheap but I’m not on board with this development.
-
I think his ranking in the Sox system also equaled the ranking of another dealt prospect in another system. He’s an ok prospect, but he was with the Sox before Bloom…
-
I guess I will call it good scouting by the Cardinals. Neither Roby nor Saggese were top 100 prospects anywhere when the deal was made, but both made the BA Top 100 list before the 2024 season…
-
Yes, yes. Lots of things can happen. Winning 59.5 games is actually not one of them. You don’t make projections as a prediction, just for perspective of current performance on a larger scale. I mean, the Sox have played 6 out of 35 games against the last place Angels, which puts them “on pace” to play the Angels 28 times, and we all are fairly certain that isn’t going to happen. But recognizing that they’ve played one-sixth(ish) of their games against that struggling last place team might sway the perspective of some…
-
Did the Sox try to deal Paulino last year? I don’t remember him being in any actual rumors…
-
Right now they are on pace to be 9 games over .500, with a record of 58.5-49.5. So if they keep this up and have 58 or 59 wins, should they buy? To me it also matters who is still healthy, how far out of it they are, and how many teams they need to pass...
-
If the Sox are 62-46, they better not be in Sell Mode…
-
Ok… but which ones would someone want? Also - pitching? None that anyone wants?
-
Hey sometimes I think their logic is - you’ll never be safe on a bad throw if you don’t force them to make a throw… -
So if the Sox do manage to stay close and have to make an addition or two at the deadline, what prospect(s) would folks deem expendable but good and intriguing enough to deal for help?
-
The only issue the Sox commentary came to the right conclusion on a very, very different path. But you were clearly on the very small train of optimistic before the season started…

Duran watching Raimel Tapia’s inside-the-park grand slam wasn’t so bad once he completely misjudged the ball. After that Verdugo was closer to the play and had a much better arm anyway. All chasing it down would for Duran is make him look better on TV. Of course, he managed to limbo that bar anyway with his asinine press conference when he asked the world if they could catch a flyball obscured by the twilight. “Gee, Jarren. It just doesn’t come up in my job as a manufacturing engineer. But as long as we’re asking people unfamiliar with the jobs, I bet I can catch a flyball in the twilight before you can validate a process using CpK.” THAT was the low point for Duran in my eyes…

I really don’t think of him as a gifted defender, but as I stated before, outside of Yastrzemski, the Red Sox have never really had anyone with a good glove in LF. O’Neill is the only one to come in with a reputation and some accompanying hardware, but he might not spend a ton of time out there. I’m more critical of Devers and Casas on defense than I am of Yoshida…
-
Really what matters is whether or not you’re out or safe. Aggressive baserunning by definition is taking more chances. Some of those will come back to haunt you. But I think Cora seems to want this, which is why it happens a lot. And why Hamilton is still on this team…
-
Some of not all of that could be playing time and opportunities. O’Neill so far has only 34 putouts in 180 innings in the outfield. Verdugo leads MLB with 71. So maybe some of that is missed time plus pitchers who might not give up as many flyballs…
