    I'm not exactly Farrells biggest fan, but it's hard to put all the blame on him when the starting pitching has been weak lately and the teams offense goes dormant. Yes, they are tired and probably need rest. I'm sure if they squeezed out one more win the past 160 days that is exactly what he would be doing. Now we might actually have to pitch Pomeranz and Sale to end the season.

    Yup...another egg. Laid.

    It’s so nice to know that this is the team we cashed our chips in for.
  4. Hugh2
    this team is looking like they’re laying an egg again at the end of the year

    The guy who drafted JBJ and Betts....

    So I'm in charge of running a charity event tomorrow and I'm running all over the state of CT stoping at store after store to try and find all of the necessities. I'm listening to this frustrating game thinking it figures that Sale can't get any run support when in the begging of the season it felt like they scored 10 runs every time he threw a shut out. I admit I gave up hope, but I thought to myself this team was due for a big come from behind in the 9th. I didn't think they actually would pull it off. Holy s*** what a win

    His best bet to play every day is to be a position player in the N.L. or A.L. Whoever gets him is going to commit to him playing one side of the ball. I'm not really sure we see a "wink wink, nod" I can see an understanding to have an early extension buying out some arbitration years but that type of collusion is illegal and the Sox have been caught enough lately. I also doubt any "wink wink" contract would hold weight if he blows out his elbow in a year.

    This is true, but we've also spent about $7 million as well.

    With Devers graduation I also see him jumping ahead of Travis but I'm not sure I'd put him ahead of Groome or Chavis just yet. He's still young and very far away.

    BA Rankings Sox #2 Flores #7 Diaz #35 Flores Not that it makes much of a difference, they are higher on Diaz and lower on Flores. I trust BA more with international guys but both the Yankees and Red Sox have done well with international guys. As a matter of fact, until recently the only real young talent the Yankees were able to bring in was international guys.

    I definitely think this team will be exciting to watch next year. I think they overachieved a bit last year in that they were the #1 seed but obviously weren't the #1 team in the east. They might take a step back in the wins column this year but I think this team has more upside and a legit shot at knocking off the Cavs. Perhaps saying they have passed them is premature but they have the legit star power to compete now. Competing against GS....now that is a different story. I think they are still a few years away from GS unless Brown take a big step forward or Tatum is a star out the gate and even then I'm not sure that will be enough.

    I love IT but I'd make this trade over and over and over and over again.
  13. Hugh2
    The reality is the totality of this bullpen is very very good. Our bullpen has won us more games than almost every other team......but it just doesn't feel like it.
  14. Hugh2
    If he hit 92, I wouldn't worried at all unless he looks bad coming into camp next year. It would be really really really awesome to have him 100% this year going into the playoffs but I don't think we can count on that.
  15. Hugh2
    His AVG fastball velocity is 92.9
  16. Hugh2
    I don't think he was, I think he sat 92-93 might of touched 95. Will have to look it up, but velo wasn't a big part of his game. He is just really good.
  17. Hugh2
    The pick you give up your hope would have been you get lucky enough to draft a player like Irving. You get him now and don't have to develop him for several years, and the BK pick could easily be 5-8 this year. I love Isiah Thomas, but I'd be fairly comfortable wagering that he will never be as good as he was last year. I don't think he will be worth a max contract, although he has earned it and that brew a troubled scenario when you factor in his size, age, and injuries. You get Irving in his prime, and you can make a good case at extending him. I'd take Irving over the next 4 year any day opposed to IT. Yes we gave up a lot, but you have to give up a lot to get a guy like Irving. We still have Tatum, and Brown, and we still have some more draft assets that could pan out pretty well too. This team is still set up good for the future, but they will be able to compete now as well.

    I disagree, we didn't just land Irving, but we took him off the Cavs. This Celtics team is significantly better and the Cavs took a step back.
  19. Hugh2
    Is that where the Nets pick was going to fall? Good chance it could have been more in the 3-6 range and I'm willing to bet Irving will be much better than any player they'd get there. With a little luck, they Celtics still get a top 5 pick with the LA pick.

    It's always best to avoid surgery, but if surgery is inevitable you really would have wanted to him to just of had it at the beginning of the season. If he has it now he will miss the rest of this season and next.
  21. Hugh2
    I apologize if I implied that JBJ and Holt should switch places in the lineup, I only meant that Holt shouldn't lead off and JBJ shouldn't bat 9th. using a 1 at bat sample size is a poor anecdotal remedy to say otherwise.
  22. Hugh2
    Mega mega dumb batting JBJ 9th and Holt 1st. Holt just hasn't been the same since his concussion, this makes zero sense. I hope it doesn't cost us.
  23. Hugh2
    I'm not saying he shouldn't get a shot, but he could easily be worse than Fister.
  24. Hugh2
    Splits are a great tool, and we all love to use them (and with good reason) but I think we are in agreement that they must be taken with a grain of salt. Naturally, a split such as home/away is going to make a sample size significantly smaller, and when we're talking about a guy splitting time at a position the sample is a bit smaller, to begin with. I think we would be correct to come to the conclusion that Vasquez is a better hitter at Fenway and it is reasonable to expect that going forward. But it would be logical to assume the difference between his home and away line should shrink.
  25. Hugh2
    I have a hard time we win this game with two runs
