  1. Wild card race 'watch' is silly. At this point I only care about getting back to .500.
  2. I think the 3 catcher rotation is working for us. Wong DH'ing today. Keeping Yoshida out of the lineup.
  3. I guess my problem was complimenting my ex-wife while we were still married.
  4. Well if he got hurt, we'll give him Sandoval money to rehab for us.
  5. Our starting pitching looks solid! Looks like Gonzalez will be back shortly. Will Anthony play this year? And what's going on with Casas?
  6. Bregman, .693 OPS, 6 HR in 76 games. 5 years, $175M. No thanks. Not worth $35M per year. Kyle Schwarber, .959 OPS, 29 HR in 14 less at bats than Bregman. 5 years, $150M. $30M per. Boy did we miss out on our ANALYSIS. I think Bregman misses Fenway's short left field. I think we dodged a bullet. Club house leader is overrated. Not worth $35M per if the on the field production isn't there. We could have had Bregman, .693 OPS, 6 HR ($35M/5 years) vs Durbin .646 OPS, 5 HR (.796M) - just show this to John Henry, he's doing back flips Xander, .659 OPS, 8 HR ($25M/11 years) Devers, .735 OPS, 11 HR ($31M/10 years) along with Yoshida, .647 OPS, 1 HR ($18M/5 years) Story, .547 OPS, 3 HR ($23M/6 years) Combined 29 HR, oh wait, Schwarber also has 29 HR. We might as well sit tight for another year before we make another bad contract. (Arias looks better and better, lol)
  7. Yep, as far as Henry is concerned, he doesn't care which fan base buys tickets.
  8. So Early earns a service year but Tolle doesn't. He was activated on 4/23 and won't be on the Sox roster for 172 days to earn a year. Same with Jake Bennet. Please don't trade young starters. Why not follow the Rays model? Place young starting arm in the pen and convert them when we lose starters? (permanent loss) 4 yrs + option starting 2027, Ranger 5 yrs starting 2027, Crochet 5 yrs starting 2027, Early 6 yrs starting 2027, Tolle 6 yrs starting 2027, Bennett And looks like our pipeline is full in the minors.
  9. Looks like we have playoff caliber starting five for 2027. We are doing it with 3 rookies. Just think, we had Tolle and Early in AAA this spring. It doesn't take much guts to play the youngsters. What's the worst that can happen? Start out similar to Durbin? Oh, okay.
  10. Another fine outing by Whitlock. Closer in 2027? We're in serious trouble. He had one good year. His first year.
  11. I don't expect Arias to be a second coming of Betts. Lets face it, If his shortstop defense is not major league caliber then he should be moved off short. I'm assuming he is a major league defender. I'm good with him spending his time batting at the bottom. Can he really be worse than how Durbin started for us? Really? Why is he ranked #1 in our prospects list? We must really be bad if the consensus is our #1 player is in reality a horrible prospect that may not play for few years. Why is everyone lying to me? Sure let Yoshida play everyday. Is everyone that stupid in Boston? DD think AAA was necessary. God I miss him.
  12. Hey Moon, Betts had 399 at bats in AA/AAA. Arias is at 266 at bats. So in 33 games he can be called up? OPS is similar but Arias already has 16 HR to Betts 12 HR in less at bats. Why are we afraid to give him a promotion? Why is it that special young players only come out of 'other' organizations? You say what's the rush? Well because we suck. We have the worst OPS at SS and the guy that makes $23M has limited range and weak arm. Why do we keep making excuses for our veterans? Oh of course I forget that we are the only team to draft mental midgets. We may do him PERMANENT damage if he doesn't succeed at first. Let's wait till we give him 1000 at bats and he's good and ready. Meanwhile the clock is ticking on Crochet's contract.
  13. Set back for Gonzalez in his rehab.....what the hell is wrong with Red Sox athletes? How is Sandoval doing? Did you mean he may comeback September 2026? How many executives do we have? What exactly do they do?
  14. Jesus Moon, we have three freakin' catchers. They can fill in at DH. Why bring up bunch of no names. Hell move up Arias. Our combined SS OPS is .599. How do YOU know he can't play. And I don't give a damn what anyone in this organization says. They have NO talent for judging talent. Yoshida has no future. I'm not trying to save money by dropping him. I'm trying to give his bats to someone else.
  15. My GM would not survive the ineptitude this team has displayed offensively. 14/15 over all OPS 15th 2B .588 15th 3B .604 14th SS .599 12th DH .636 10th LF .697 7th C .661 6th CF .742 Rafaela 4th RF .775 Abreu 3rd 1B .921 Conteras We are really bad....Why are we hanging on to Yoshida. Give someone else a chance. We just need to move on. We are paddling upstream.
