    Stat of the Day Among our 13 positional players, we now have 11 players with OPS of .700 or higher. Mayer is the 12th at .674. Connor Wong at .375 is an embarrassment. He is 0-27 with runners in scoring position. (he did have a sacrifice fly for his only RBI) Please Mr. Breslow, find someone to replace this guy. Can we really afford to have him catch during playoffs? The blackest hole in a line up I've ever seen. Jays also have 11 but their #12 as an OPS of .622.

    I'll pivot. Devers in 80 at bats, .344 OBP + .363 Slugging = .707 OPS, 2 HR/9 RBI Nope, I don't miss him at all. He better hit or he'll hear some boos quickly.

    He throws hard? lol

    You know I feel comfortable saying that because we are usually on the same side. Optics are important when you're at the head of an organization. How do you feel about Duran for Joe Ryan of the Twins? We can't play this game of not wanting to trade Duran because he's now 'hot'. Just ask the Rays. I rather have Abreu than Duran. He hits for power and he's already won a gold glove. He's under contract for 4 more years, one more than Duran. Abreu is also almost 3 years younger. (2 yrs, 10 months) Do we need more or do the Twins need more out of this fantasy trade?

    You're nuts if you think Jordan Hicks gets demoted. We are looking for heat. You are not going to send a $12M acquisition to the minors. That will make Bres look dumb as a door knob.
  6. Nick
    Like the pen reinforcement with additions of Alcala and Hicks. We still have decent farm even with top tier players having graduated. Bres is the man. The weak link right now is Wong. Big black hole when he plays.

    Good linep

    I didn't realize how good Joe Ryan has been. Great WHIP #'s to go with strike out capabilities. He is 29 years old with 2 more years of team control. It would be worth it to trade away Duran for this guy. Duran has three more years of team control. Throw in a young pitcher, Fitts? That's pretty good haul for the Twins. That maybe an overpay for the Sox.
  9. Nick
    Yes, and Hell yes.

    Looks like our pitching is coming around. What a luxury to have Fitts sent down after pitching well. Bringing back Dobbins. We have an extra reliever in the pen. Great news is Bello is pitching better, getting swings and misses (ok, it's the Rockies). Also allowed the bullpen to reset with his masterful, complete game. We now have Crochet, Giolito and Bello pitching well. Dobbins and Fitts contributing. When or if we add another starter at trade deadline, we won't have to deal with Buhler any longer. Our pen has little more depth with Alcala, Murphy and Hicks. I would love to see Houck join the group and go hard one inning out of time. I still would like to see Weissert take 15 days off to get recharged, probably not in the card in the past maybe that option is available. Hell, you can invent an injury for pitchers. They are mostly hurt anyway. Please keep Chapman. Go get a proven, reliable starter.

    "He is still hitting the ball on the ground over 59% of the time, so it may take awhile for Anthony to frequently drive the ball out of the park, but for a player who recently turned 21, his recent output has been outstanding." He's doing great but my observation was correct. Hell Yoshida has this issue.

    With Story going over .700 ops mark, Sox has 10 hitters with OPS over .700. Given enough at bats, Mayer definitely will get there. Wong continues his pathetic offensive ineptitude. 0-4 with 2 Ks, ops down to .375. He needs to be replaced.
  13. Nick
    We have 7 players starting with OPS>.714. Story has an OPS of .694. Then we have Wong at .392. What an embarrassment.
  14. Nick
    I don't care what he does.....what ever he does in San Fran, he won't do it here. I'm a Sox, I don't give a damn about any non Sox guy.
  15. Nick
    I saw a comment that Mr. Clarke was going to work with Devers on 1B defense. Unfortunately Devers was a no show without any explanation. Yep, Giants can have him.
  16. Nick
    Geez, are we going to follow Devers for next 10 years. I wish the Boston media would just focus on 'their' team. I don't miss Devers one bit. Betts with the Dodgers, Xander with Padres, now Devers with the Giants. Let's just keep sending our guys to NL West. They can't all win the Division in any given year.
  17. Nick
    Anthony up to .758 ops.
  18. Nick
    Sorry, .....bad chart.
  19. Nick
    Not likely but we can be plus 8 games at the All-Star break. I'll settle for 6-1 finish here.
  20. Nick
    Runs W L Net 0-1-2 5 24 (19) 3-4-5 17 16 1 6+ 24 5 19 46 45 1 Some may say we're the ultimate .500 team. Score less than 3 runs, we lose, Score 6 or more runs we win. It's a coin flip scoring 3-4-5 runs. Unfortunately our record is better when we score 3 runs, 7-5, versus scoring 5 runs, 5-6. We're 5-5 scoring 4 runs. Another one of my meaningless stat.
  21. Nick
    Give some credit to Breslow. His top 3 acquisitions all made the All-Star team. Every year we have a bad signing. This year it's Buehler.
  22. Nick
    We should wait. We play at home 3 vs Colorado, then 4 vs the Rays. Then All-Star pause. Then we travel to Phillies and the Cubs for six games total. We then come home to face the Dodgers for 3 then off to Minnesota for 3. I agree with a poster that this Sox team can beat the best and lose to the worst. It's really not a consistent team. I'm hoping we catch a fire in August and September. I believe our bullpen is improving. I like the additions of Alcala and Hicks. We should get Justin back by August. Really not impressed with Whitlock and Weissert is fading fast. If we are going to make a run, we definitely need Chapman. It's not always about accumulating talent for future. It immediately sends a bad vibe to the rest of the team if you lose the best closer we've had in a while. Let's just see what we do in next 19 games in July. 12-7 makes us a buyer. I would love to see Bregman return vs the Rays. Play 3rd twice and DH twice.
  23. Nick
    He follows up with hitting into double play.
  24. Nick
    We are done scoring ever since piece of crap Wong kept his streak of leaving runners in scoring position for 22nd time.
  25. Nick
    I like it that we have speed. Maybe he can play 2B. Played in OF yesterday.
