    We take 2 out of 3 while getting outscored 9-5.....usually that's us and pound our chest: "We have an hell of offense."

    Buehler is simply a placeholder. Maybe Giolito can give us 1 more year. He is good when its going for him. Maybe higher ceiling than Buehler at this stage in their respective careers. We are waiting for Bello to take a step forward. Dobbins look promising. Is it possible that Kyle H will join the starting rotation at some point? Than add the Detroit ace in 2027.

    I am rooting against Cleveland.

    We scored 2-4-2-2-0-3 runs the last 6 games and went 5-1. We have pitching. (lol) We're 7-4 when we score 3 runs, 5-4 when we score 4 runs, 4-4 when we score 5 runs. 18-5 when we score 6+ runs. Crochet 10-6, Buehler 7-5, Giolito 6-3, Dobbins 6-3, Bello 6-5, combined 35-22 when this five starts. That's +13 over .500. Yankees lead the Division with 12 games over .500. Maybe we're not as bad as we think.

    Well if Bres can get a Crochet and a Bregman each year, I'm good.

    He's just an average runner. He doesn't have arm. He just looks very tentative right now. I don't think he's athletic. So he's unathletic. I'm old school. Athleticism to me equates to track and field running events. In my sport, I look for quick feet, quick and high jumper, strong arm.

    Campbell is not even a good outfielder. The guy is tagging up and he doesn't get back to get behind the ball so he can fire to 3B. He is really not athletic.
  8. Nick
    Who goes when Yoshida and Abreu returns? It's got to me Eaton and Hamilton, unless it's Campbell.
  9. Nick
    I'll take 3 runs.

    Tarik Skubal will be a free agent AFTER 2026 season. He's making $10,150M this year. Lucky for us that his agent is Boras. That means Skubal will go FA route. Sox needs to gear up for him. Got to have him. Crochet, Skubal, Bello, and two cheap starters will go long ways in getting us to the World Series. (maybe Dobbins and Kyle Harrison?)

    I will never bad mouth Devers for his performance. He's a very good baseball player. Maybe even a Hall of Fame worthy. But I'm not going to relitigate what happened here. It didn't do me any good to torment over Betts departure. My being negative toward Devers and Betts probably has more to do with concealing my hurt feelings. When my favorite team loses in NCAA tournament, for me the basketball season is over. That's how I deal with disappointments. Devers is over for me.
  12. Nick
    I'd hedge a bit. $20M on a one year deal is easier to deal with than $313M over 10 yrs, now 8 1/2 years left.

    Great article. I feel the same way about our 4 rookies. They along with Crochet, Bello, Dobbins and Rafaela are our future. Maybe throw in recently acquire Kyle Harrison with 5 yrs of team control. You can go ahead and throw in Duran to the mix who is under team control for 4 years. Also look at our bullpen (although I agree that you can't make long term plans for any of them). We have hard throwers in Guerrero (6 years), Alcala (2 yrs). How about Slaten (5yrs)? Bernardino is also under team control for 5 yrs, same with Weissert. I'm just not heartbroken over Devers leaving. I have always wondered if Pittsburgh would have taken Devers, $15M per year, Duran, Crawford and say Campbell (not trading Mayer and Anthony) and couple of more minor leaguers for 5 years of Skenes. They are paying Mitch Keller $15M+ so Devers contract is affordable, subsidized.

    I think we can improve at the catcher position. Especially if the DH spot opens up. Narvaez looks like a hitter to me at the plate. I would love for him to DH today.
  15. Nick
    At least he is not on IL.
  16. Nick
    It was good to see Alcala pitch last night. Up to 98 mph. Guerrero and Alcala are hard throwers. Only if they can locate their fastball.
  17. Nick
    None of the veterans and our 'future' stars really didn't get to know him enough to care....... Let's just see what the future looks like and see how fast we get there. Crochet didn't give a damn. He and Bregman are the leaders. Hope we see Bregman for years to come. Extend him.
  18. Nick
    Well I don't have to stay up late.
  19. Nick
    He has absolutely no contro tonight.
  20. Nick
    Yankees have scored 5 runs or less in 6 games in 1908, 1968 and now 2025.
  21. Nick
    Yanks down 0-4 in 8th. Toronto is down 2-4 in 7th. TB down 1-3 in 7th.Twins down 5-6 in 6th. All good.
  22. Nick
    Sox went 4-15 in games started by that threesome.
  23. Nick
    Just looking ahead to the Giants series, I see that they only have 1 lefty starting pitcher. Just a FYI..
  24. Nick
    Not signing and retaining Betts has cost the organization time, money and effort they never dreamed of....It would have been cheaper to just give him $50M....because we have wasted tons of money trying to recover from that episode.
  25. Nick
    Or how about the ultimate Sox trade? Alcantara for Miami is struggling this year coming off an injury. $17M this year and next, then a club option for $21M in 2027. Isn't this our bread and butter deal?
