  1. Kutter. What went wrong? I just dont understand it. When and how did he get hurt?
  2. I think as a group, our pitching has improved. It's just frustrating to see so many guys hurt.
  3. Does that give us 4 lefties?
  4. Thanks for starting this thread. It needs a separate thread.
  5. Houck simply can not use regular season games as his spring training to fix whatever is wrong with him. It's unbelievable that we face starting pitching shortage, again. It's really unreal.
  6. Has anyone ever seen him stretch? Not to mention he takes 100 little steps going from 1st to 3rd.
  7. "Boston entered Monday sixth in the majors in runs with 77 but 40.2% of those runs came in two games against the Cardinals. Boston has scored 47 runs in its other 16 games (including Monday), an average of just 2.9 runs per game." This to me captures Red Sox historically. We'll outscore the opponent 21-9 in a 3 game series but lose 2 out of 3, winning 16-1 and losing 3-5 and 2-3. But hey we 'averaged' 7 runs per game. It's a mirage folks. I am very thankful we have not extended Houck and Casas.
  8. There's not much we can do right now with our catching situation. We can continue to look under rocks. Anthony will give us a lift. He can fill in at all 3 outfield positions. What I'm saying is he can play full time. We can sit Duran, Rafael or Abreu, one game out of time. Anthony is more valuable than Refsnyder. I'd be damned if someone is advocating for Refsnyder over Anthony.
  9. I agree to a point. I do think managers need to react little sooner. If I'm 1-20, I'm not going to get mad that I got moved down in order. As an athlete I should be upset with my performance and not helping the team win. I think that's what I'm mostly arguing about.
  10. I think its ok to shift the lineup. Cora did the right thing by moving down Casas. He can come back up as soon as his hitting heats up. I just think Anthony belongs on the varsity team.
  11. I think we need to live with Dever's contract. We are only asking him to do one thing he does well and not worry about something he struggles baseball wise. I don't see why he couldn't have the success that David Ortiz had DH'ing for the Sox. Ortiz started playing for the Sox at age 27. He played 14 years, only one year he played less than 100 games (90). Devers will be much younger when his contract runs out.
  12. I just hope Fitts is not out for extended period.
  13. It's time to bring up Anthony. There's at most 170 days left this season. He can not accrue 172 days he needs to earn a year's service time. We can control him for 6 years and 170 days. I just don't see anyway he's NOT better offensively than Rafael.
  14. Great trade and the extension by Breslow on Crochet. We'll be alright as long as our starting pitching holds up.
  15. This is why you think about trading THAT guy with what looks like a career best year. Especially when you have #2 prospect coming up. It's taking me 60 years but good starting pitchers win big games. Probably unfortunate that we didn't trade Casas. Isn't Roman Anthony 6-3 or something? How hard can it be for him to play 1B and all 3 OF positions?
  16. Great game. It only took our ace to pitch 1 hitter, use up our #2 reliever and pitch our closer for 4th time in 5 days. This against 125 game losing team. Great job boys. This team is bailed out only by the Green Monster. This is not a good road team.
  17. We need this and our pitching staff should line up well for this. Crochet starting, hopefully he'll go 7 Whitlock, has two days rest, ready to go, threw 31 pitches on Thursday so he may only be good for one inning Weissert hasn't pitched since Tuesday Wilson only threw 4 pitches yesterday. I think Chapman go back to back days, but this will be his 4th outing in 5 days, maybe not. It would be ideal to have Whitlock for the 9th inning to close.
  18. Finally, Cora flips Abreu and Casas in batting order. He's not always smart as many think.
  19. 9 pitch inning for Slaten. Despite his high ERA, he pitched well 5 out of the 6 games he's come in.
  20. It doesn't matter who we play nor where we play, we can lose them very easily.
  21. We have 7 out of 9 starting today all hitting above .700 OPS and Rafaela goes 2-3, but we can only score 2 runs. Refsnyder is 0-4 today with 2 strikeouts.
  22. What the hell? I am blacked out today. What happened.?
  23. He came over from the Yankees for Verdugo. He had a very good year pitching in AAA. started 23 games, going at least 5+ innings 15 times. Pitched 116 innings and struck out 111. He also started 4 times for the Red Sox in September call up, pitching 18+ innings without giving up an earned run. I have him ahead of Kutter.
  24. It's really time to bring up Roman Anthony. He makes HARD contacts. Sure Rafaela can play if we have Casas and Wong (hitting like he did in 2024). Right now there's too many black holes to carry him.
