I thought Brasier was his favorite. Ort his second favorite. Also Kike can do no wrong in Cora's eyes. $10M utility player.
-
Sale Paxton Bello looks solid. Yeah I know... I'm not sure we can win 2 out of 5 with Kluber and Pivette. Yikes.
-
Ok I am now convinced Houck should go to the pen. If it turns out Whitlock is also suited for pen I will be bummed.
-
Kluber signing is perplexing
-
I guess it's inning #5. Maybe he should be the opener.
-
When will Houck implode tonight? 5 or 6 or 7? Jk
-
Abreau is heating up in AAA. Man we have nothing but left handers. Love the Vaz trade more and more.
-
I'll catch if it would help Kluber.
-
That begs the question......Kluber or Pivetta?
-
I agree with you Bloom. My only question is will Kluber hinder the team further by starting? Is there something wrong with him physically? Will 10 day IL make him pitch better? Are we fair to him by keeping him in a non-starter role? Obviously we did the right thing with Brasier. But I hope he does get picked up and do better than what he did for the Sox this year. I don't ever HATE any baseball player. I just don't want some on our team when they are not performing well. I saw that we are shopping Dalbec. I just feel bad that he couldn't make it work in Boston. He has all the good qualities, except his OPS isn't good enough. I also wish him well if he gets traded.
-
I love this. My exact sentiments. We don't have to give up on the season. Bello has to pitch. Houck has to pitch. Whitlock has to pitch. PS. Pivetta should be in the trade talks. He's in his arbitration 2 year. He will be attractive to even the cellar dwellers if we pick up bulk of his money. Moon and others keep talking about his 'value' as #5 starter. Just look at his stats from June 1, 2022 forward. Yeah I'm skipping last May because that was not normal as it turns out. Are we seriously going to EXTEND HIM? Probably not so you trade him with one and a half year of team control left. Say you trade him to the Athletics paying all of his salary, surely you can get something in return, maybe a young bullpen arm. That's Tampa Rays way....didn't Bloom learn anything?
-
Is there anyone here that thinks Kluber can get out of his funk? All we ask as fans is that we put out our best 26 on the roster. I'm not sure if we have it. Rodriguez is set to be activated, giving us 3 lefties out of the pen. Bernardino becomes the next prime candidate to be sent down. He has options left for a later call up in case of bullpen injuries. When Kutter returns on the heels of Whitlock return, how can the Sox keep a straight face not getting rid of Kluber? I want the best 26. I rather Sox admit to mistake and move forward. Kluber means absolutely NOTHING to the Sox future. He was merely a rental. And not a good one, Mr. Bloom.
-
I don't want to dwell on this but When the entire board can see the train wreck coming in one Ryan Brasier but no one at Sox sees it, there is a problem. We are just bunch of juvenile want a be GM's.
-
But but but Brasier's job was only to eat up innings.....says -
ERA for relievers are meaningless. I doubt Brasier would say he did his job. "It wasn't my fault" ....i"d guess y'd buy that excuse.
-
Braiser came in and didn't get the job done. It wasn't charged him so yep he pitched well.
-
Nothing like praising a starter that took us to a 1-4 deficit. Way to lower the standard.
-
Kluber is nothing more than a knuckle ball pitcher. You watch him throw then keep your fingers crossed.
-
Not when Pivetta is getting a start also.
-
Bloom better have a meeting about Kluber. This tean can't afford to pitch him every 5th game. That means we will need to win 3 out of 4 other games to have a winning record. Not doable.
-
I am encouraged by this group. Sale looks to be healthy. Paxton may force s starter to the pen which will lengthen it. Waiting anxiously for Whitlock and Kutter to return.
-
Kike is simply out of control. The game should have been tied 3-3. He is playing like a 12year old mentally.
-
That seems to be the likely 13. Rodriguez will relace Bleier. A lefty for another lefty. I think they like Bernardino and will keep him in AAA. At least one starter will go to the pen and knock out Brasier.
-
Casas has an OPS above 1.000 for the month of May. We have to stay with this kid. Hell, bat him in the 9th. His ceiling is too high He needs a long leash.
-
We just need to get Whitlock back healthy. The same goes for Crawford (we miss him). Rodriguez is to be activated on Monday. This is what our staff may look like soon. I don't see how Brasier stays on......but on paper this can be a decent staff, if we can fix the starting rotation. There's depth in the pen if for example we move Houck and Whitlock (definitely NOT advocating this). 1 Sale 2 Paxton 3 Kluber 4 Pivetta 5 Whitlock 6 Houck 7 Bello 8 Kutter 9 Winckowski 10 Schreiber 11 Martin 12 Jansen 13 Rodrigues 14 Bernardino 15 Bleier 16 Brasier
