  1. Did Cora? The Sox are 19-24 in games Kike starts at SS. 12-8 in games anyone else starts at SS…
  2. Or… he could have realized that he was never going to call up Hamilton even if he was winning the International League triple crown and the Sox only other alternative at shortstop was wheelchair-bound. And then he could have protected Ward…
  3. But having the world’s greatest defense can make your pitching look better. Red Sox are 29th in team Defensive Runs Saved. Rangers (Eovaldi?) are 3rd and Padres (Wacha?) are 9th…
  4. Point? JD’s last season in Boston, he had a .790 OPS and hit 15Hrs in nearly 600 PA. He wasn’t horrible by any stretch, but what did he do that made you think he was an obvious extension candidate?
  5. To be fair, Bloom has only had two drafts that even had middle and late rounds…
  6. Heck their new $300 mill shortstop is being booed by his mom. True story. Google it…
  7. Who is Joe Jacques?
  8. Agreed. There was nothing wrong with giving Kluber a chance. But it’s time to move on. It didn’t work. This has been obvious. I know it’s possible for a pitcher to just have a bad year. Josh Beckett was awful his first year in Boston, too. But this is not the case here. Kluber is over 10 years older than Beckett was and clearly has fallen off a cliff. He’s not going to recover or make any adjustments. He serves no purpose but to bolster the stats of opposing hitters…
  9. Dermody was a better choice…
  10. Since mid-April, his OPS is around .700. I know the argument is he’s being pitched around, but usually when a hitter gets pitched around, he draws a fair amount of walks. Devers has 14 walks since April 16. For some perspective, in that same timeframe, Refsnyder has 10…
  11. I think signing Sale and Bogaerts ended any attempt to…
  12. Betts did turn down basically the same AAV from Boston, but for two less years. Of course once DD signed Bogaerts and Sale, Betts tenure in Boston had an impact expiration date…
  13. Point? Mookie was leaving after 2020. He wouldn’t sign and turn the money was spent on Bogaerts and Sale. Most superstar trades yield very little. The Marlins traded back-to-back MVPs for Starlin Castro and a slew of MiLB players. The Orioles traded Manny Machado for Dean Kremer and scraps. The Marlins dealt Miguel Cabrera for BA top ten prospects who peaked at setup guy (albeit top tier and that took time) and a journeyman OF. They were never getting back another Mookie. They were in Salvage Mode…
  14. He might get the opportunity to change that in 2024…
  15. He’s not likely to see the lineup too much more with Duvall back. Now he did at least make himself look like a Major Leaguer this year, a nice bump up from whatever he was last year…
  16. That Dombrowski couldn’t get it done. Next question…
  17. Apparently he was DFAd to make room for Duvall. I am wondering if the only reason he started was to line up Whitlock for game one of the Yankee series…
  18. I’d have preferred they kept him over Kluber…
  19. Fairly certain Cora wants to get fired. I’m ok if that happens. Why did he bring in the mop up guy into a one run game? Kluber is a guy you bring in when the score is already 8-2, not because you want a 3-2 game to become 8-2…
  20. Please tell me that quote is made up. Finding holes? Yeah Ramirez noticed a weak spot in the Sox outfield in that they couldn’t cover the right center field bleacher seats…
  21. Sure he is. Bloom traded Renfroe for him…
  22. DFA Kluber. I’d rather see them keep Dermody…
  23. Why was he brought in? Nick Pivetta hasn’t pitched this series.
  24. A poodle with rabies and a spear gun!!
