Can Chapman go 3 straight games? He threw 7 pitches on Monday and 6 pitches last night. -
How then do you evaluate Cora? Or any manager for that matter. If there are no criteria, then what that tells me is that managers are overrated. Hell I can fill out a lineup as and come up with pitching/hitting match ups if I had the analysis sheet in front of me. Brez should just buy an AI.
-
Burdi, Bernardino, Whitlock and Hendriks all ready to pitch out of the bullpen. Chapman only threw 7 pitches last night.
-
I just hate watching Bello pitch....pretty much the bottom line. There should be a betting line for 75 pitches over and under going into the 4th inning for Bello. That would be the only way I'd enjoy watching him pitch these days. His though process is I'm okay because I still have chance to turn a double play and get out of this.
-
Dobbins has been told NOT to pace himself. Throw as hard as he can from pitch 1. Don't expect to last anymore than he did today. At least that's what I heard during the telecast. They want him pitching around 95-97 versus 93-95.
-
Quit making fun of Rafaela. His batting AVG and OPS is higher than Story's. And Story is still afforded #5 spot in the lineup.
-
Make that 9 outings now.
-
Wilson hasn't given up a run in last 8 outings. (sorry if jinxed him)
-
I see what you did.
-
Thank you Dobbins. 52 pitches in 4 innings. Bello, time to grow up. Learn to throw strikes. It's between going to the dentist or watching you pitch. I was hoping this was the year. Nope.
-
He doesn't make contact with the ball. The ball makes contact with his bat.
-
Dodgers have the highest payroll in major leagues. Not the Mets.
-
I am guessing the rotation will be Dobbins, Buhler and Crochet for this series. Start #6, Dobbins, started 5 times, team record 2-3 Start #7, Buhler, started 6 times, team record 5-1 Start #11, Crochet, started 10 times, team record 6-4 Right now, Dobbins maybe ahead of both Giolito and Bello. Buhler has to be the #2 starter.
-
Interesting that he's taking another day off to work not only on his hitting but also working out at 1B. I really like this idea. It's an internal move. We don't need to wait for trade deadline. It will also open up a spot for Mayer. No brainer. I'm also okay with putting Mayer at short. Now how can we get Anthony up to the majors?
-
No facts....just seems like he throws too many pitches in the first inning. But in fairness, he just throws to many 3 ball counts, early and often.
-
Maybe it's a stupid idea but of all the starters, Bello needs to follow "an opener". He just needs not to pitch the first inning.
-
It's time to play the 'ultimate' lineup we're trying to get to. Campbell, Anthony, Mayer and Rafaela in the lineup. It appears we found a catcher better than Wong as a bonus. Sit down Story. Remaining lineup should be Devers, Bregman, Abreu and Duran. Give Refsnyder as much bats as possible in the outfield. You can sit/rest three left handed outfielders. You have to give up something to get every rookie in the line up. This should be the core group right now. A starting point. Sorry, we all knew we wasted money on Yoshida and Story. Both moves were to cover up losing Betts and not wanting to retain Xander.
-
It's time to play our 3 rookies plus Rafaela. Screw Story. He is becoming another Yoshida.
-
I am frustrated that a team with payroll of !240 M can not fill 1N. The easiest poaitipm in majoors.
-
Cora says Walker Buhler may be ready to start next Tuesday.
-
The Red Sox promoted veteran reliever Nick Burdi from Triple-A Worcester before their game against the Braves on Friday. The 32-year-old righty, who pitched for the Yankees last year, posted a 0.54 ERA (16 ⅔ innings, one run) in 13 outings for the WooSox to begin this season. He allowed just nine hits and five walks while striking out 25. More like it.....Urgency Urgency...make the team better. Look under every rock.

2024 81-81 #3 13 games back 2023 78-84 #5 23 games back 2022 78-84 #5 21 games back 2021 92-70 #2 8 games back (lost in ALCS) We can not take a step back. It's a bottom line game. Fire him if we're not in the playoffs. He's had 4 seasons now.
-
Please, no Whitlock today. He needs to come in on low leverage situation.
-
Toughest thing in life is to know when someone peaks. Rarely do athletes stay at top. The can't miss guys such as Betts. I don't believe Duran was such a player. Statistically speaking, chances are better to trade a high prospect for an established major league. I love having Mayer/Anthony. But we are not going to use them, why keep them locked away in minors. What's going to change next year? Story will be here. All 3 OF will be here.
-
White describing current state of affair at Fenway, more and more talking heads, writers and former players are using the phrase "no sense of urgency". Cora simply says we have to 'execute better'. He's the highest paid manager and that's all he has? No freakin' sh*t, Einstein. Injured starting pitchers will return soon. Not sure what to do with the bullpen. But there has to be a better option with position players. If you are not going to use Mayer and Anthony, freakin' trade them and get something in value that will help the team. This team. This year. I am so over Cora. I hope Brez finds HIS own guy. Rarely do players consistently outperform their norm. If Devers has a good year. I seriously consider trading him. Exhibit 1 - Duran. It sure would have open up a space for Anthony.
