    While they probably give Durbin a longer leash than Campbell had, DEMOTING A YOUNG PLAYER IS NOT GIVING UP ON HIM.
  2. notin
    Yes. I’m sure that brings huge smiles to Durbin…

    It’s certainly down in the AL. Boston does have the worst team OPS in the AL East, but not by much. Baltimore .708 Tampa .702 Toronto .684 New York .653 Boston .652 That could be just as influenced by schedule is by lineup. It might have a bad luck component to it when you realize Boston leads the AL East in Hard Hit %. It could also be their high strikeouts dragging down OPS in the face of hard hit balls, but surprisingly , they’re only third in the AL East in K%. They don’t walk enough. They probably should re-discover the Stolen Base. And they need bullpen help. If Suarez is coming around, maybe Bello can too…

    I agree they seem to have too much faith in Narvaez…
  5. notin
    Yeah. No team that’s done has ever finished above 4th…
  6. notin
    Actually, they’re tied for ninth in MLB in Hard Hit %…

    The Yankees .201 team batting average is eye-opening, too. Last year, this team was one Volpe HR away from having a lineup where all nine starters hit 20hrs…

    F for May/Tibbs. Everything else I’m fine with to varying degrees. Is there an “F-“ grade I can switch May/Tibbs to?
  10. notin
    Thats because if you squint, his name looks like “Lefty”…

    The Sox .646 OPS is a frightening .002 behind the Yankees (.648)…

    Did Leahy get replaced as the starter?
  13. notin
    New SP? Kyle Leahy throws right-handed. Is he not starting now?
  14. notin
    And then returned to the top 3 spots in the lineup? WTF?
  15. notin
    Some people will tell you the reason he didn’t ask Devers to play first is Cora think Devers could handle it. And will insist this was the case even after Devers played first base without incident multiple times in San Fran. I agree with you. Cora is a weak Player Pleaser who doesn’t really ever try to get his best defensive lineup on the field…

    What does Abreu have to do to get moved up in the lineup? And what does Duran have to do to get benched? Or at least moved down?
  17. notin
    You’re upset with Connor Wong for not making significant deadline trades?
  18. notin
    If you go by StatCast, Duran should move to the bench and Yoshida should start and bat very high in the lineup…

    But how many felt is moot. The Sox brought in an experienced albeit possibly worn out MLB relief pitcher. And it paid off. This year? Ryan Watson was a Rule 5 pick. Hardly the same level of attention…

    You did say it would be a “disaster” to send him down, as he was replacing Bregman. Disaster was your exact word. Now, I did make some assumptions. For example, I assumed “disaster” was meant to be negative. I also assumed you didn’t mean it would be a disaster to lose his .314 OPS from an underproducing lineup, and instead that you meant it would be a PR disaster. Why? He HAS A .314 OPS! The real PR disaster is leaving him in the lineup as the Sox struggle offensively and do have other internal options that actually are producing. I think many fans might not mind if he get demoted for a while. Oh, another PR disaster would be doing nothing and hoping things change. It’s actually a pretty likely course at this stage of the season. But it’s not a popular one…

    He brought in Chapman last season. That’s not neglect. This year it was Ryan Watson and a couple guys as the clock was striking midnight…
  22. notin
    Duran is 4 for his last 32 and hasn’t had a multi-hit game since opening day. He’s clearing up the OF logjam in the worst possible way…
  23. notin
    Hardly. First, they’re not DFAing/releasing/trading Durbin. He will still be with the organization. Second, name any underperforming player the Sox replaced and it was viewed negatively. Cheng was brought in to be depth. Well, taking over as makeshift replacements for struggling players is one of the purposes of depth…
  24. notin
    If that was Breslow’s plan, he forgot about the bullpen…
  25. notin
    Absolutely true. But changes that can be undone are not really panic moves. Durbin has options. Cheng is on the 40 man. No DFA required. It’s really not very different than a benching…
