Is Beni that f***ING stupid? Trade the f***ER. Rookie of the Year my ass. I can't stand f***ing dumb asses.
-
There's no reason NOT to play the hot hand. We all know who is hot and who is cooling off. I would love to see Brentz get the call. 22 homers is pretty impressive.
-
Home Runs matter. Really need to improve 1B for 2018. I want a power bat.
-
A 2 run homer to start the game. The kid can hit. It's amazing that Nunez and Devers are batting 3rd and 5th in the lineup. Shows how weak our bats were.
-
I'm opposed to moving Devers to 1B. Why? It's much easier to find 1B than a 3B. We've pretty much had a black hole at 3B. We finally find someone that can plug the hole and first thing you want to do is to move him? I would still go after Votto. Give them what they want. Travis, Swihart, Groome, and Beni. That should do it. Who cares about his age 34-37 years. He's similar to Beltre. He'll retain his power stroke. Power bat is a critical component of team offense. We've taking it granted over the years with Papi and Manny and others in our lineup. I'd reconstruct the team. LF, RF, 1B, 3B adn DH should all have some power.

Meanwhile Moncada is 4-38 with 1 HR, 6 BB, 16K's. Maybe DD knew something about Moncada and Devers. I was screaming for Moncada to get called up last season. Then we found out. I was screaming for Devers earlier to get called up. So far, it's worked. Why not give him a shot when his coaches in minors think he was ready? Fail or Succeed was irrelevant for me. Just have a look. It's worked fine. If he goes on a prolonged slump, bench him. That's what you do with non established players. I like to know the bad news immediately.

Give me a FA name.

I don't miss Papi......He's retired.
-
He told me to tell you, "it's wasn't me, it wasn't me, it was Rutledge"
-
You gotta see it to scout it.

https://www.overthemonster.com/2017/8/2/16082356/rafael-devers-red-sox-lineup-the-spark-theyve-been-looking-for Very Good Read on Devers Hitting.... Why not give the kid a chance? Thank you DD. We saved tons of prospects of being dealt just to acquire a third base rental.
-
No matter what anyone says, I did not miss Pedroia nor Beni last night. I would love to have Nunez return next year. He's built similar to JBJ, athletic, strong. We can then trade for a big bat using a regular as a chip.
-
I haven't missedPedroia
-
Anybody miss Dustin?
-
We had a 6-5 high school shortstop couple of years ago. Kids are bigger today. Except for Red Sox. We like little fielders and tall pitchers.
-
Will's swing never looked like Devers.
-
I got a news for you. Reed will pitch the 8th inning regardless of who is coming to bat.
-
I'm pretty sure both Carson Smith and Addison Reed can get left handers out as well as Abad.
-
This....... I remember Michael Jordan.
-
Playing the percentages, you are better off trading anyone outside of top 5. Henry Owens and Blake Swihart comes to mind. Now there's really no market for those two, granted for different reasons. Devers was a keeper and now we know why. Groome has a long way to go. I'm just not married to the guy, especially a pitcher. I would still pursue someone like Votto this off season. Some guys age well and I think he'll be one of those. He can always DH and take Hanley's place when his contract runs out. Let's also revisit Stanton. Would Betts, Xander and E Rod do it? Their combined salaries will exceed Stanton's in three years.
-
Moon, our bullpen could be lights out in couple of more weeks. Addison Reed to be the set up man in 8th. Workman continues to get back to where he was in the playoffs. Carson Smith finally ready to go on a rehab assignment if all goes well. Joe Kelly coming back from DL at some point. That's a solid group. No more wuss Barnes in the 8th inning. We still have Barnes, Hembree, Boyer, and Abad.
-
I really like Nunez....
-
Devers 4-4....he's up there to get a hit....And he didn't cost us a thing!
-
I agree 100%.
-
3-5, two outs, bottom of ninth with runners on 2nd and 3rd, Devers draws a walk. Yeah, he's cool. Betts pops up to end the game. Got a news for you. 3B is not the problem.
