    I can admit that I bail on Red Sox from time to time but I still look for something I can enjoy. This year it's our 3 rookie starting pitchers. I also think Gray and Suarez will be fine as long as they stay healthy. I am very down on Whitlock and Bello right now and Anthony too for his slow start. I can't wait until 2028 not to see Story and Yoshida.

    Yep. I go to Cot's all the time and see what worthless contracts are still out there. (two big ones come off after 2027) Happy not to see every box filled with big numbers for Devers.

    Just as a side, I enjoy reading about the Sox now that Cora is gone. I want managers in the background. Don't try to be the star. I really didn't care what Cora had to say. Same old, same old. I've heard it all before.

    Another blown money. We throw away money but we sure are cheap on good talent.

    My main goal for this group right now is to play .500 ball and tread water. Gosh I just hate saying it every year but we need to get players healthy. If you are a poker player, would the % say it's best to trade a young player right after his first successful season, knowing he probably won't repeat that year? Good example is Duran.

    Only 3 games out in the wildcard chase. Plenty of time to leap frog multitude of teams.

    I'm staying positive. Really encouraged by our three rookie starting pitchers. I think you can buy position player with lesser risk than pitchers. Just draft all pitchers every year.

    It's insane to keep doing the same thing. Maybe changing up the routine will free him.
  9. Nick
    Moon, I told you Whitlock is not very good. If we need him to pitch the 8th inning, we're in trouble. Other than Crochet, has anyone lived up to their new contracts?
  10. Nick
    Red Sox plan calls for Brayan Bello to make next start, but perhaps with aid of an opener I called this couple of weeks ago.
  11. Nick
    Let's hope Crochet, Suarez, Tolley, Early and Bennett all throw from different slots.
  12. Nick
    A 6-6 guy, pitch to contact, interesting. I'm good as long as he's not walking everyone. I refuse to consider anyone that can't throw strikes in the majors as a 'pitcher'.
  13. Nick
    Jake Bennett, a 25 year old lefty appears to be the starter tomorrow. A 6-6. 235lb guy Bres loves as a starter, he has pitched 21 innings in AAA, 12 hits, 16 K's and only 3 BB with 0 HR and 2 earned runs given up. I'm over Bello, but I am excited over Tolle (23), Early (23) and now Bennett (25). I have to look for a silver lining and this maybe it for the 2026 season.

    Can someone give me a ranked order starters for Sox organization (too lazy to think about). Please do not include Kutter and Sandlin. "I'll believe it when I see them on the mound"
  15. Nick
    Bello is my least favorite starting pitcher right now. I am extremely pleased that we drafted plethora of pitchers. Time to unleash them. You would think Bello would pitch better with Cora gone.
  16. Nick
    No, over 162 games, things will equalize. Abreu will come down a bit and every one else should improve (including Story). Kimmi, I'm just exhausted thinking about this every year. I'm sure the management thinks they are doing their best but right now it's ugly.

    This is how bad we are with our position players and their OPS (American League) Position Sox vs Yanks (AL Team ranking in OPS) CC 7 vs 10 1B 8 vs 1 2B 12 vs 8 SS 14 vs 10 (just shut up Chris, waste of $23M) 3B 14 vs 11 LF 12 vs 9 CF 7 vs 9 RF 2 vs 1 (Just think, we seriously debated Duran or Abreu) DH 15-5 (hey Bres, how's the DH by committee working out?) Only catching and center field, we have slight advantage. Our best bat is #2, unfortunately #1 play for the Yankees. When you look at this way, you realize how pathetic the team is.

    "We’ll figure it out. It might be a little uncomfortable at first but that’s part of the situation we’re in.” .515 OPS...Story should have been 'fired'. I think he meant "situation I put us in". Hell give me Mayer at short and Rafaela at 2B. Play our three damn OF.

    I am happy with the staff changes. I don't want a manager who is the face of the ball club. To me, he always made it about himself. He is a very good coach but the bottom line is he stayed his welcome. Just same old crap with him. His coaching had become very predictable. So the two guys that gruntled the most it appears are two guys that need to pick up their game, Story and Whitlock. Story plays for the Red Sox ownership, not Cora. Very interesting that players all blame the management when in fact they should look at themselves and that includes Anthony. Is this going to be an annual thing for him? Waste the 1st month each year? I like having a new coach that coached many of the young players in our system. I did not renew my MLB package and I'm glad I didn't. I'm not going to waste 2 1/2 hours of my life watching crap. I can watch 10 minute summary of each game on You Tube.

    I've decided its STUPID to try to get an extra year. Can you name a player that we benefitted from holding back a player?
  21. Nick
    He can't throw strikes. What, 35+ pitches in inning #1 in his last start. He needs to be traded as soon as he hits a hot streak.
  22. Nick
    Let's just hope he has an 'uptick' before the deadline and we're out of it. Surely someone will want him. I don't see a scenario where he improves to another level and stay there for further improvement. He will pitch well for a stretch but revert back to his old trick.
  23. Nick
    You have been around forever. Should we simply trade a player that's had a career season thinking it's as good as it gets? It's probably better than 50/50 odd that the player will never return to repeat the season. Sure there are exceptions. But In retrospect, should we have traded Duran two years ago when his value was the max?
  24. Nick
    I am just waiting for 2027 to expire along with Yoshida ($18M) and Story's ($23M) contracts. If current situation does not improve, it's time to clean house at the trade deadline. Bring up young pitching prospects. Get rid of Bello. I watched the replay of his last start and I literally became very ill when I saw his pitch count in the 1st inning reach 34 and counting. He more than any other pitcher in our organization requires an Opener.
  25. Nick
    Not to mention insisting on Kike bat leadoff. Cora can be a joke. He becomes fixated on a player and has trouble moving off of it.
