    With our platooning, feels like we have more fire power at disposal, especially in latter innings. We can bring in left or right handed bats based on pitching matchup.

    Well they are wrong....This is his second year, he's credited with 1 year 41 days coming into 2025. His arbitration years are 2027-2028-2029. He then becomes a FA. Cot's is more reliable on contract matters.

    So Anthony to 1B is a big NO! Good discussion here.
  4. Nick
    Kudos to Breslow for his vision. We are one top of the line starter from having a team that can compete for playoffs for next 6-7 years or through 2031 when Crochet's contract ends. That's the length of extension for Rafaela. Bello has a club option for 2030. Anthony and Mayer are team controlled through 2031. Narvaez is under team control through 2030. Abreu is under team control through 2028. Kristian Campbell is under team control through 2032 plus two option years. These are exciting times. Best thing Bres did was to get rid of Devers.

    Moon oh anyone. Who needs to be protected on our 40 man roster? I am guessing its getting crowded.
  6. Nick
    He has struggled a bit with his pitch count recently. 7/6 98 pitches, 5 IP, 9H/2BB, 2 runs 6/30 89 pitches, 6 IP, 8H/1BB, 5 runs
  7. Nick
    It adds to the excitement with so many young guys, Narvaez, Anthony, Rafaela, Abreu and Mayer anchored by veterans Bregman, Story, Yoshida, Gonzalez, Refsnyder and Duran. Exciting times...Positional players are set. Now go get us more quality pitchers.
  8. Nick
    It would be great for Sox if Houck could provide some solid innings.....perhaps we're asking too much. We do have Fitts still but if Dobbins is out any length of time we need a backup plan for Buehler. I know that everyone would disagree but the only way to keep all of OF is maybe to move Anthony to 1B next year. Narvaez, Anthony, Mayer, Story, Bregman, Duran, Rafaela, Abreu and Yoshida with a new catcher, Gonzalez, Refsnyder and another utility bat coming off the bench. Mayer and Anthony needs to play every day. That's a solid starting 9. Maybe we add another right handed bat, someone like Garcia. I like the flexibility of this team. WE NEED ANOTHER STARTER AND A SET UP GUY IN THE BULLPEN.

    30-20 at home....not sure when we were 10 games over .500
  10. Nick
    I keep hearing its nit on top of the list. How hard is it to get a backup catcher?
  11. Nick
    Ranking relief pitchers 1 Chapman (L) 2 Slaten (R) 3 Alcala (R) 4 Whitlock (R) 5 Weissert (R) 6 Bernardino (L) 7 Wilson (L) 8 Murphy (L) 9 Hicks (R) 10 Guerrero (R) 12 Kelly (R) 13 Hendriks (R-Injured) To be determined, Tanner Houck

    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.
  13. Nick
    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.
  14. Nick
    He throws hard? lol
  15. Nick
    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?
  16. Nick
    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.
  17. 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.
  18. Nick
    Good linep
  19. Nick
    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.
  20. Nick
    Yes, and Hell yes.
  21. Nick
    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.
  23. Nick
    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.
  24. Nick
    We have 7 players starting with OPS>.714. Story has an OPS of .694. Then we have Wong at .392. What an embarrassment.
  25. 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.
