    I am just not a fan of Yoshida. He looks old, slow and unathletic. Does he "align" with our future? I don't think so.
  2. Nick
    He may have a background in baseball but to me he speaks like an Ivy League law graduate. (hell maybe he is one, I don't know)
  3. Nick
    Yep....we are all tired of rhetoric. I don't want to hear about your good intentions. Take action.
  4. Nick
    There's constant chatter of 'alignment'. My thought is that has lot to do with Anthony and Mayer getting on the field. There will be more moves coming.

    “It’s important to point out that this is in no way signifying a waving of the white flag on 2025,” Breslow said prior to Monday’s game in Seattle. “We are as committed as we were six months ago to putting a winning team on the field, to competing for the division and making a deep postseason run.”

    “In the end, I think it's pretty clear that we couldn't find alignment with Raffy,” said Red Sox president/CEO Sam Kennedy. “We all worked at it over the last several months, going back to the offseason, starting with Alex Cora and Craig and the staff, and then up to me, and all the way up to John Henry.

    “The timing was absolutely not great,” said Breslow. “And we don't always have the choice about when these things kind of reach the point of execution outside of … we absolutely could have walked away or said we're not going to make this trade, but we do ultimately believe that it was best for the organization.”

    Our hitting will be fine once Mayer and Anthony figure out the major league pitching. We're having to carry Campbell and Hamilton, in addition to Wong when he pitches. But now with DH spot open, we can funnel through players there to maximize the matchup. I would love to see Narvaez bat there on his day off. I just wanted to see Mayer and Anthony this year so I'm pretty happy. Having better starting pitching has really helped.

    “But far more important than the player return is the fact that they were able to move Devers and all of his money." There you have it....quit bitching about the return. If we get any upside, we win the trade. The new word of the Day....REPURPOSE....yep it matters the most how we REPURPOSE the money we saved, $240M or so.

    No way our youngsters going to give up. You realize they have dreamed about this all their lives right? You honestly think Dobbins, Anthony, Mayer, Campbell, Bello, Rafaela, Navarez are going to give up? Chapman? Story? Duran? Refsnyder? Crochet?

    This one is for Moon. Noah Song pitched 2 innings for Portland last night. 0 runs, 1 hit and 3 K's. He's 29 now. Maybe someone will write a song about him when he finally gets to the majors. Talk about never giving up.
  15. Nick
    I'm really going to be confused. Am I now rooting for the Dodgers, the Giants and the Padres and hate the Sox? lol
  16. Nick
    I definitely would not start him unless someone falters or gets hurt. He should be treated like Pivetta was.....go to the pen and work it out. Multiple innings in relief at first.
  17. Nick
    It's Nate Eaton ladies and gents. (Good until Abreu comes back) He has batted .274 with a .357 on-base percentage, .453 slugging percentage, .810 OPS, seven homers, 19 doubles, one triple, 35 RBIs, 43 runs, 26 walks and 61 strikeouts in 64 games for Worcester. He has made starts at all three outfield positions as well as third base, shortstop and second base.

    Very good sir....that's how I feel. Certain parks enhance one's production and Fenway does that for many players. I actually think both San Diego and San Francisco are tough hitters ball parks. (I've done no research on this)
  20. Nick
    I think Cora would go out of his way to shield/defend Devers as much as he could and I wouldn't disagree. I would like to think I have my players' back. I mean Devers is his baby. I think he feels the same way about Bello. You can only be hard on Bello as Cora has been if he wasn't the father figure in Bello's baseball life. He cares about Bello very much and he can be hard on him. I'd like to think Bello understands that.....I always tell my players if I'm not talking to you that's when you worry. I've given up on you.

    Few things to think about. Our 3 biggest arbitration players last year were Duran, Houck and Kutter. Houck and Kutter made about $7M between them and I doubt it would go up very much based on what they've done this year. Duran is an interesting case. Bres is all about analytics. Is Duran worth $8M in 2026 based on us being able to put up Anthony, Rafaela and Abreu in the outfield? Also think about Bregman coming back. Doesn't that necessitate Mayer moving to 2B? Or switch spots with Story? Mayer is better infielder than Campbell. Wouldn't Campbell as a right handed batter be natural to move to the outfield? Thus becoming a part time platoon for both Mayer and Abreu? So realistically we have I think about $60M to get to the first tax line (assuming Bregman comes back). But moving Duran should get us another pitching piece. We may part with another starting pitcher, Giolito maybe, if Houck and or Kutter returns. Or maybe one of them gets traded.

    Our bullpen is well rested thanks to stellar outings by our starting pitching. Since last Wednesday, no one had to throw over 20 pitches in an outing and we only used 3(Wed)-0(Thurs)-2(Fri)-3(Sat)-2(Sunday) relievers.
  23. Nick
    Well I see it with my own eyes. While Devers sits on the back bench usually by himself, I saw our three rookies clamoring all over Bregman. Maybe he's easily approachable. I am not here to argue with you. If I follow your logic, then why do we have a cheater as our manager?
  24. Nick
    Starter watch... Crochet, Bello, Dobbins, Buehler, Giolito, Kutter, Houck, Harrison, Fitts, Criswell, Sandoval, Tolle
  25. Nick
    I would love to pin down Bregman. He clearly would be the leader in the clubhouse. Young kids already look up to him.
