Yes, but it's okay to play a .145 hitter dropped to minors immediately, or throw a s***** Llorens just because he was "acquired"...but hey let's have Story who may have actually helped in this series--a short fence, a fly ball hitter to left....yes, let's get him 100 percent....you know after the Sox are about to be eliminated from WC competition. Good job.
-
Story felt it was necessary for him to finish his minor league assignment...pussy. Absolute waste of money.

Completely agree with a catcher's influence on how well certain pitchers peform. The better the pitch caller, the better the defender, the better the arm to cut down any basestealers...all come into play. Some of the Sox secondary catchers over the years paired with some of our better pitchers. Just worked out. Always believe moon's theory is correct. It used to be you would see how some great Sps wanted and got the catcher they preferred. It's important to pitcher's psyche too, comfortability.
-
Good old Daniel Nava...reminds me of the days when Brian Daubach was the team's most consistent power hitter.
-
Yoshida has made Bloom into a genius. So has the team sticking with Casas over Dalbec. Pivetta been pitching lights out of late. Sox are no slouches and smart to unload Kike--although his monster series in playoffs a few years ago remains memorable.
-
Gotta give the Sox/Cora/Bloom credit and the team is finding a winning attitude of late...wrong division for Sox, but obviously the entire East just happens to be very good this year.
-
In Bloom's defense, the Yoshida signing now seems like a great move...Gotta say I'm surprised Yoshida has kept up his high average, I originally thought MLB pitching would fool him...it has not. Paxton has been great, Verdugo and Turner have been really good, Cora/Bloom stuck with Casas instead of going to Dalbec...gotta give the GM credit where credit is due. I'm not obtuse in seeing the team play well and knowing Bloom has made some interesting moves that may have helped the team going into the next few years.
-
I've been negative the entire 22 and 23 seasons...and now the Sox are 4 games over .500, Duran Duran is the Talk of the Town, Yoshida is in the top 5 in AL batting race, Turner isn't completely replacing JD (who is having a monster comeback season for Dodgers) but he has really been tearing up the ball, Arroyo starting to hit, Verdugo is having a solid season, Devers has been everything worth that big salary despite not being surrounded by hitters to "protect him." Paxton, Bello have been sensational on the hill and Jansen is an All-Star closer. Good for the Sox and Cora and Bloom. Bottom line, bravo to the recent surge, maybe they keep it up.

I think I officially "gave up" when Hunter Renfroe was traded for JBJR. And I loved JBJR back in 2018 and when he was in his prime as a GG centerfielder. But that just got me thinking what the hell is going on with this organization. Will always love Sox, like the firey play of Verdugo and the premium pitching of Paxton, Bello...but not as fun as it used to be to follow the Sox. Depressing to always see .500 or less in standings..and last place (yes, Central everyone is under .500).
-
Excited by Verdugo, Paxton, Bello, Turner, Duran performing...maddening to see how inconsistent the Sox are these past few seasons.
-
Turner is a good dude, good player..JD is an All-Star.
-
History said JD had an off season..it happens--10 mil one year not exactly having to spend money on him...Eavoldi proven ace, Wacha--maybe you can argue not sure.
-
Boston collected just four base hits — all singles — while striking out 14 times and going 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position in the series finale with Miami....contact my ass.
-
I'm sorry moon, as far as my POV or anyone else's, it's still an apology Bloom tour in here. Other than Bellhorn and a few others, all I'm hearing are what great moves Bloom is making, and how poor Chaim is hamstrung by the "Prime Directive" of an owner who checked out long ago...4 titles was more than enough after 86 years of none. Mission accomplished. This team will suck for years to come...or they get a real GM, get some real game-changer players and some quality aces....adapt or die...right now, it's in hospice care.
-
You are not going to win with the model the Sox have...they have put their eggs in one basket on Devers...who has performed incredibly well RBI, HR wise...after that hard-pressed to find another consistent power hitter....very proud of Devers to do what he has done without guys surrounding him.
-
Yoshida has never played this many games...if he plays out the regular season...143 in Japan...okay, great...in Japan
-
Under .200 hitters are an epidemic today...so many that they have to be used in regular lineups. Hitting under .200 now evaluated on OBP, HR, RBI...you can be Kyle Schwarber today and be valuable. But if you are .250 hitter who can't hit for power or RBI, what are you? Not doing much for your team.
-
Not going to win the title. You better have some power hitting, you better have aces on the hill, a great pen. The contact is up, but what kind of contact? Look at the number of .300 hitters out there...I can count them on 2 hands.
-
The love for exotics worked somewhat with Dice-K, but throwing a ton of money at an unknown "veteran" is asking for a chance that the experiment falls flat. I'd rather have a proven MLB veteran player...why? Well, proven and MLB experience ready...you can't discount this in winning baseball. You better have talent and you better have veteran leadership. I don't think the Sox have either.
-
When the Sox become what we term "unwatchable." That's a feat on itself. I loved this franchise, the teams for years and years even when it was Jimy World and back in the Brunansky homer-less Sox...this team is just not very good and not fun to watch.
-
Rusney Castillo....never materialized...not comparing Rusney to Yoshida, who was a far better bet to perform well at MLB level...What do they have in common? Having to make the adjustment to MLB, not just the hitting side...you have to be able to field in MLB and run the bases...well, Yoshida not very good at both.
-
It's why JD Martinez's of the world are a premium. All-Star this year. Devers RBI machine...power....can never have enough.
-
Runs don't get driven in much anymore in a league where contact is tough and runners on 2nd and 3rd and less than 2 outs is not any automatic to score even one run.
-
They wanted singles, doubles hitters in a HR all or nothing league.
-
The power-hitting Yoshida....he will not hold up over time.
