Brasier threw 10 pitches to retire the side in his first rehab assignment last night... -
Pitch count after 5....Rays 128, Eovaldi 62

It does seem like we're beginning to get reinforcements for our tired and weary troop. Moving both Richards and Perez to the pen signals good sign. Also relieving Vaz of so many at bats when he's struggling should help the team. Hell the back up catcher is hitting over .300 since the All-Star break, albeit small sample size. And looks like Brasier is coming back. That should be huge lift to the pen. Oh yes, Schwarber will be a Sox favorite. He's just that type of player. Houck despite two pitches and can only go once around the line-up reputation by many here is now solidly entrenched in the starting rotation. Then there's Chris Freakin' Sale.

OK, I'm not smart enough to know the difference between the two and what I said.......I'm sure you are correct. Let me say it another way....he's not inducing as many swing and misses on his breaking ball....I have no stats to back it up other than watching him pitch.....is that an accusation or observation? I'm assuming observation is what is preferred. Just so you know, I did say I thought he was a wuss before this season. Then I jumped on his bandwagon like a fair weather fan. Now I think he's reverting back. 1st part is probably considered accusation, second and third part are my observations. I do love the charts introduced by MVP....

Someone here gave me s*** when I said Barnes looked different today and he did back in April/May. He argued his stats aren't much different. My point is Barnes is not breaking off his curveball as he did earlier. Damn the stats. It's matter of time the difference was going to catch up. You can't deceive the eyes forever. Workman had lucky outings where he was hit hard but right at someone. You can't then say well he pitched without given up a run. Stats alone can't measure someone's worth. The guy was getting hammered.

67 pitches after 5 innings...50 for strikes.... -
I don't get why anyone would opt out of $19.375M contract to earn $15M for 3 years. I would pay JD $26M for two years beginning 2023 assuming he's healthy. I don't get the math on opting out. If I'm JD, I'd roll the dice on becoming an free agent for 2023 season.

I'll add an addendum. We are NOT the only team in MLB that's overworked. Can we just quit being bunch of wussies? It's all part of game. If we have bunch of old positional players that require more frequent rest, well then it's time to get some younger players. If our pen is 'overworked', then bring up fresh arms from the farm. Oh you say we don't have any quality arms in the farm? Then we should have traded for one. Oh but we didn't want to give up prospects to acquire quality pen help, then SHUT THE f*** UP. We are what we are...... I'm happy that we're in the playoff chase. It's time for these men to be professionals that they are. Let's not make excuses for them.
-
Good point. That's why not one player makes over $10M and they only have two players that have contract for 2022. Pretty amazing.
-
Richards pitches 5 innings, gives up 4 runs, only 3 earned runs and we do backflips for his stellar performance. Such is the state of Red Sox. I'm not worried as long as Cora is not worried. Who was the poster that told me I was all wet for saying Barnes is regressing?

Barnes is settling into his old self.

Chris Sale To Undergo Tommy John Surgery By Mark Polishuk | March 19, 2020 at 4:04pm CDT Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale will undergo Tommy John surgery, as per a team announcement. Sale will be out of action for roughly the next 12-15 months, as per the usual recovery timeline, and will miss all of the 2020 season. .700hitter Doesn’t make much sense as to why they waited....jacksonianmarch If he had the surgery last July/August, he might be ready for the 2021 season. Moon Sale slated to start Saturday vs. Orioles per mlb.com Sale's last big league start was on Aug. 13, 2019. Four days later, he was placed on the 10-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. He eventually had Tommy John surgery on March 30, 2020, which was also his 31st birthday. Let's not forget how inept our medical staff has been over the years.

And then there are posters here that are full of themselves. The I'm smarter than you bunch. You had the bring up Duran bunch, which included myself. And then there are the God's of all knowing baseball group, insisting trust Bloom and Cora. THEY WILL KNOW WHEN TO CALL HIM UP. Well the first group HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DURAN BEING CALLED UP. Bloom and Cora did. Now the so called experts on this Board is laughing at us? Let's take a bit further. If Duran sucks, why are we holding onto those so called TOP PROSPECTS like they are worth something? You can't have it both ways. I'm glad Duran is on our roster. I love watching him play. I do not have Bloom's cell phone number. He promoted Duran. Make sure you don't hurt yourself patting yourself on the back.

We have dumb players and they suffer no consequences for their carelessness. Gonzalez led off the seventh with a walk, then Vázquez singled. But Gonzalez got picked off second base by catcher Reese McGuire. Vázquez, who took second base when Gonzalez got stuck in a rundown, then was thrown out trying to steal third base. Marwin is Cora guy, he does no wrong.
-
No one is going to care how well we play before the All Star break next year. We know they'll crack. It'll be tough winter trying to sell season tickets.
-
Just wasted a single
-
My exact thought
-
I think it's time to bang the drums at Fenway.....
-
Because Cora is not worried about pitching...
-
Marwin now 2-14 since return..........does he ever go on a hot streak?
-
I'll trust my own eyes.......he was nasty early. It may not have anything to do with foreign substance.
-
Matt Barnes will revert back to what he used to be....he has not been dominant ever since the stickygate...
