  1. Pearce and Eavoldi, our WS heroes, complete disasters for what we've received since their contracts signed. That's just bad money after bad...a Sox tradition of bad signings---Crawford, Sandoval--epic bad.
  2. Marco was fantastic and all I can say is what depth the Sox have that they can afford to send a hot hitter down to minors because of numbers situation.
  3. Holt and Chavis, both upgrades though from anytime Nunez played, although I thank him for his clutch HR in the WS and his yeoman work that year.
  4. Moreland singlehandedly kept the Sox 5 games ahead in the standings with clutch hits to either win or save games....but as mentioned he can't stay on the field since early in the season.
  5. Kimbrel is what he is...and it's not pretty.
  6. Agreed on Price, and what's interesting about Porcello is as bad as he's been, he still has a 2-game above .500 record. Not that it matters, but always better to be winning.
  7. EROD has been the Sox ace, and if Sale could just be Sale, this team will take off. Rock the Cashner is gonna be big too.
  8. The fact that Mookie and Beni are both ripping the ball of late is making it a monster hit show because JD is also on a tear and Devers, Xander, Vasquez, Holt, Chavis (what a godsend to replace Pearce/Moreland and Nunez all in one) seem to be on season-long hot streaks.
  9. What I loved about Betts 3-HR game was his first at bat, he rarely adjusts to the Monster. He has been religious with his lightning bolt fast level swing, but he did a Xander on that at bat. Just lifted it out of the park. Vasquez does it too. Xander's power has been as much about his ability to lift the ball with an angle upper cut, not a big swing, just a nice job of abusing these wiffle balls that are baseballs in 2019. Betts has robbed himself at times by his level line drive swing. Some balls that would leave the park if he adjusted to today's upper cut. Anyway, go Mookie, go Sox!
  10. The St. Louis Blues fan is back on track because of tweaks in his batting stance, but what is odd is how many times he has not been able to judge the fly balls near the Monster. We need Yaz to go out there and teach him to play the angles better. He's not making the diving catches like he was last year and before, but he still has the arm and he made a nice play to gun out Encarnacion just in the last game alone. Look, Beni is a great player in a bad long-season slump, but he's coming out on a tear now. Lynn had weird bad years too (injuries that prompted it), then went absolutely bonkers in 1979 (stronger upper body, worked out on the then new exercise/weight machines--Nautilius). Beni may have to use some exotic PEDs to get that upper body strength. Anyway, love Beni, and glad Cora or Dombro didn't do something hasty--like trade him...ugh. Anyway, love the Blues fan, hate him and love him.
  11. Eavoldi is a long way from being the guy we saw in the WS. He was a tragic mistake contract wise, unfortunately, but got to make the best of it. He has to start by actually throwing an inning without getting torched.
  12. When you win games the way the Sox have in this recent stretch of hot offense, does it matter who is the closer? Bottom line, Workman is or has been the team's best reliever this season and will likely be in there in crunch time or 9th innings. I think he already really is the closer.
  13. Are we allowed to actually enjoy this 3-game streak or do we have to be a Debbie Downer and say "oh if we don't sweep, it's all for naught." I'll choose to enjoy this series regardless of Sunday
  14. I'm going to enjoy the 16 run rout, 23-hit attack some more before tonight's game myself...:-)...Go Sox!
  15. Protest, Rays f***ed up the DH situation. Umps did too.
  16. Sox not done yet, 2 big wins
  17. I don't know, I think the 4 earned pay and then some for a WS title last year. I'll trade the inconsistency, injuries and ineffectiveness of this year for that, and still know that if all 4 start to throw well, the team could go on a monster streak. If the Sox grab a wild card that's all that matters for 2019.
  18. Don't worry, expect Pham to be pitching by the 8th.
  19. When he was 8-4, all I heard from one clown in here was how he hates watching EROD pitch and he's inconsistent and wild, etc. I'm like, the guy is outpitching all the big names on the staff, and has gotten better and better when some of the big names are simply s***ing the bed.
  20. EROD has been outstanding and continues to be pretty much the most reliable SP in the rotation. Great job in a big game, they are all becoming big games, but when you face a team in the WC race, every win is a big deal. Go Sox!
  21. I find it way too much to play teams 19 teams or so a year. It's too many games same opponent.
  22. Devers, Holt, Bogie, Betts all swinging the bat well and Workman mostly been lights out of pen. Sale was due, overdue, and past due. Good for him, better for the Sox.
  23. 146 transactions or reported moves by Red Sox since April 3. The Clown Car has officially run out of gas.
  24. The only band that mattered. :-)
  25. f*** Cora abused Brasier, talk about knee-jerk reactions
