    Hunter is team controlled for two more years via arbitration.

    I can't wait for Schwarber to take over 1B.

    Dalbec pinch hits and strikes out....so much for that lefty righty stuff....
  4. Nick
    Runner on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Renfroe strikes out. We're not very good.

    99 pitches....5 innings......he should be done for the evening. I do remember Cora getting on E Rod in 2019 about him not challenging the hitters
  6. Nick
    Tanner pitched 5, 6 and 6 innings in his 3 starts in 2020. Where in the HELL are you guys coming up with the thought that he's a 4 inning pitcher? Quit being freaking lazy. Why don't you look at some facts?

    When did it become ok to hit below .250? Did I sleep through this?

    It's always good to hear from you. You're spot on....but on the lighter side, I'm chuckling and thinking..."thank you, Mr. Obvious"...I like having you here on our board....

    Everything I was wrong on... 1 Kike and leading off....not a problem. I now get upset when he's not leading off 2 Matt Barnes as closer...I always thought he was a wuss, mentally too soft, walked way too many hitters 3 Richards..I thought he was a bargain at $10M, only question was his health 4 Dalbec..left alone at 1B and batting 9th, he'd be a 'surprise'. Hitting 25 homers and solid at the plate. Only thing I was right on 1. Whitlock, Whitlock, Whitlock..during spring training Cora was very high on him. He just has that mental toughness, especially with men of base.

    Sure am glad Marwin's back. 0-3 with 2 k's. He's healthy again.

    Posters complain Houck can't be a starter because he struggles second time around Sure, he's the only one with that problem. Do we watch the same game?

It's been bad since June 1st.

    July OPS of .641 for Verdugo.....he's dropped each month.
  13. Nick
    Cordero is 5-13 with two walks since returning to Sox. All singles.
  14. Nick
    We need them both. The lineup will be fine with Shwarber plugged into 1B. Sox needs to stay close to the Rays for next couple of weeks.

    Luxury Tax I blame player's union. Rate of luxury tax payroll was no near close to the rate of revenue increase. (there was an article) Obviously 2020/2021 was an outlier on revenue side. When Yankees are staying below the cap something is not right. Win win for owners.
  16. Nick
    Richards at $10M with enforcement of previous rule was an overpaid. I bet analytical people are all busy looking at the spin rate differentials.
  17. Nick
    I've changed my mind about the luxury tax. I just think it's no big deal to go over the first threshold and get to $230M. Penalties of 20%, 30% and then 42.5% equates to $4M, $6M and $8.5M. Even at 42.5%, $8.5M on $230M payroll to me is insignificant.
  18. Nick
    As seen by recent slump all around, you need a line-up 1-9 to get through the 162 game schedule. You can't have two or three black holes in the lineup. Everyone here got on my ass about not being dependent on 2-5 guys. Mathematically it's pretty hard to sustain team offense with 4 guys.
  19. Nick
    It would be criminal not to do it.

    Red Sox Stats On swings at pitches in the heart of the plate Dalbec misses or hits a foul 67% of the time, that is 4th most among 197 batters with 200+ heart swings. That's on top of his poor pitch recognition outside of strike zone. Love to love him but he sure is making it difficult.
  21. Nick
    Tough loss for Pivetta...... After retiring first 8 batters, he walks the ninth batter in 4 pitches. The leadoff batter hits a home run for 2-0 lead. After a base hit, he throws a wild pitch, then a single brings the runner in. When the team is not hitting behind you, you can't make mistakes.
  22. Nick
    5-44
  23. Nick
    5-43 for JD
  24. Nick
    see my signature....just two days ago.
  25. Nick
    Well it is deflating to see other three contenders add and only guy we get starts off on IL for at least two more weeks.
