Who said anything about the FO? I was talking about the medical staff…
-
Still alive…
-
The Sox had 4 SP on the IL at once, and that’s without counting Paxton. And it’s the medical staff’s fault? Can you really blame them for injuries to oft-injured Eovaldi? Or 42yo Rich Hill? Or even Wacha?
-
He was amazing in that role well over half of a season. And since then he’s been awful and almost never pitched the 9th…
-
OBP is why I’m high on Nimmo as an off-season target. But reportedly the Mets want to keep him and he’s expected to receive a QO, so he’s not much more likely to be the Sox leadoff hitter than I am…
-
Agreed. The Sox have lost their focus on OBP. But having people on base does help them score. Bogaerts is one of the best in MLB at getting on base…
-
So. Restgate II? I kid. I kid. Not blaming Alex. But I do think so wine needs to make. “Restgate 2: Electric Boogaloo” joke…
-
I wouldn’t mind him as depth…
-
Mu primary criticism is he should have gotten outside replacements for Sale instead of depleting the bullpen. Obviously he would not have found another Sale, but I bet he could have gotten a pitcher to handle Sale’s innings…
-
He has an option…
-
Yes. That’s why I called him a “former Sox reliever” and “winning pitcher…” He also was not an NFL punter or a breed of cactus or a tropical disease or a well, lots of things I didn’t mention…
-
I can’t and won’t try to quantify what losing Vazquez meant to the clubhouse, but at what point do we accept than any leadership void created might be filled by Hosmer? Hosmer is rather “meh” as a player, but he was the public face of the 2015 Royals…
-
Also a former Sox reliever, and notably the winning pitcher in game 5 of the 1986 ALCS aka the Dave Henderson game. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Crawford_(baseball)

8/14 NYY vs Red Sox at Fenway 7:10 EDT/4:10PDT

The game ended and I found myself with 2 hours to kill… -
He would have had to trade Dewey if you saw the 12 digit contracts that Dombrowski gave to Armas and Shag Crawford…

There are 29 other teams out there, and yes, at least one will put out younger players. I’ve never heard of any 5 year minimum rule, but I could certainly see a player taking that long. Harris and Grissom were both drafted in 2019. No one from the Sox 2019 draft class has made MLB and with the possible e exception of Noah Song none of them ever may make it. But Duran (drafted in 2018) that much different of a story?
-
1. No. He’s not as good defensively. 2. No. He’s not good enough to last in Fenway as long as Evans.
-
Evans suited up nearly every day for the Red Sox. Renfroe can’t even find a team that wants to keep him…
-
No. MLB is populated solely by the best 776 baseball players in the world. Most of these players have never lost anywhere and don’t expect to start now. Do you really think the Orioles players never believed in themselves? Odd semi-related story - I was watching BBTN a couple weeks back and the discussion was about how players react to being traded. One of the guests was Cameron Maybin, who talked about how shocked he was the Tigers traded him. Did they lose faith? “I’m a first round pick!” He was angry. He was upset. He could’ve understand it. Then he was told it was for Miguel Cabrera. His reaction? “Oh. That makes sense.” And he was a recent draft pick at the time!! So I think, like Cameron, the Orioles’ players have always just believed in themselves…
-
Did you know the 1952 Dodgers briefly rostered a player named Jack Daniels? And the 1920 Philadelphia A’s had a player named Johnny Walker. Yet I can’t think of a single player named Waters!
-
From what I recall, the team was forced to play a makeup game on an off day that precipitated the collapse…
-
Oh I’m sure there were others. The entire point AJ was making is “everybody does that.” So I’ll nominate the 2007 Mets, who blew a 7 game lead with less than 3 weeks to go in the season as another team that collapsed with chicken and beer in the clubhouse for the non-pitching starters…

The Marlins called up a pitcher named Parker Bugg. Seriously. They did…
