LOL :0 I don't see homophobic, but I definitely see a bit of a fixation?

Is it just me, or does Sandy flat out catch a better game? Dude has GREAT hands! Does Sandy call more of HIS pitches than Vaz?

ace!

44 172 31 49 12 3 5 29 24 32 8 0 .285 .367 .477 .844 and climbing.... Yes, we've seen Beni hot & cold before, but I'm convinced that this becomes a breakout year for Beni. Yep. He's still a dope on the basepaths, as I said earlier, but I stand by these numbers. Close to .300+, .400 obp, .475+ slgl, circa .900 OPS 20 HR +/- 2 85+ rbi's 90+ runs scored Breakout. Possible All-Star?

And that small sample size tells us almost nothing. But... you still make a good point. It does tell us that many of us are over-reacting every time we lose, and it's easy to blame the worst producing offensive players for those loses. There is NO DOUBT that 1 player alone in isolation doesn't really effect the overall big picture. Now 3 or 4 s***** producing guys, giving us next to nothing offensively, night after night? Yes. We can and should blame them collectively and individually. They flat out need to start hitting, or be given some time to watch. BUT...... Anybody who watches the Celtics knows by now what a difference a Defensive player can make, simply by watching the D of Markus Smart. JBJ is much the same. With him, we have perhaps THE BEST mlb outfield. Without him, Beni is average at best in CF, and JDM is somewhat of a liability. I personally think the GAP in CF with Beni vs. JBJ is HUGE!! Often a game changer. So there in lies the conundrum. He needs to sit & watch, but doing so hurts our D big time! Anyway, it's tough! if JBJ had an option, I would send him down to get right. In fact, I might find an injury he needed work on, with a long rehab assignment in Pawtucket to follow? I'm a huge JBJ fan, but right now he needs to sit, & work things out. I can deal with the .049% winning percentage difference without him. We will be fine with JDM, but I would put Mookie in CF, Keep Beni in LF, and move JDM to RF. One thing is for sure, although Beni did ok in CF coming up, he IS NOT a great CF'r!!! He becomes a liability there.

Right on Elaine! LOL :0

How naive you all are. It's clearly a plot by the SR to make Price the #1 he's always felt he's been denied. Hey! It makes as much sense as anything else . . . .

Are you kidding?

Mother f....

3 Run JOB! Sox take the lead ....... ok A Mookie GS works!!!!!!

Mooreland wins it!

Again . . . It's SO OBVIOUS, that the simplicity eludes some.

This could be IT!

VAZ rising?????

Calm the 'f' down there Dewey! You are being far too logical, and far too little demagogic!

sounds good!

Nice job Pricey! It seems the latest "kerfuffle" may have given Price a new perspective on life in Boston???? I may be wrong, but my guess is that Cora did not give Price the "shade" he was looking for on the "excuse" front. Look at Smith . . . . Price has consequentally STEPPED UP IN SPADES!!! ACE of spades! GOOD ON YOU Price! Good on Cora!!

LMFAO :0 Forgive me Allah for I have sinned! I will gladly accept 5 hail Muhammad's 3 Allah Akbar's 2 praise Allah's & 1 Oy Vey's

LOL :0 I went to Confession. I'm good.

see now... That's what I'm talking about with Devers! Unless, of course, I'm bashing the s*** out of him.

See now, I completely agree with the frustration of JBJ's SHYTE season at the plate, but 'THINK' he will return, EVENTUALLY ........, to his .245 -.255 avg., the last 3 years, .780 - .790 OPS. We've weathered this storm on JBJ every year, the last 3 years.

Dude! Eck is THE MAN!" Straight, albeit articulate, Boston talk. Eck is a giant!

If memory serves me, back in 2015 I recall pitchers almost openly expressing frustration with Swi. I recall one incident, I'm almost certain it was Buch, who kept shaking off Swi. Buch actually eventually got so pissed that he was showing OPEN frustration on the mound, mid game. I also recall reading something about the guys thinking Swi had an over-inflated vision of his 'athletic ability,' where they (some) did not see this athletic ability translating to the baseball field. In the midst of this, I recall watching a NESN special where they followed Swi for a day at the clubhouse. He was really showing off his athletic workout. As they were following him around, then miced up in the dugout, guys actually seemed quite irritated with him. I recall discussing it with my wife. idk.... I get the distinct impression that it has to be the pitchers flat out saying, "I don't want this guy catching me! Give me Vaz or Sandy, but I'm not pitching to Swi."

I absolutely know it's a long shot, but I'm curious what it takes at that time?

Nobody is going to give up that much for a rental on Machado, unless of course they are determined to sign him as a FA. SO what would it take to land Machado by the deadline? Certainly not that much?
