DD is what he is. A total badass of a GM. I was wrong on Eovaldi. I was very meh on Steve Pearce but those guys are huge reasons why we are World Series Champions. It goes without saying but DD is one of the best GMs in the game for a reason.
I don't think they'd be able to recover. They might have to blow up the team minus Mookie, Benny and JD and Sale. This was in the bag only to have a late season newcomer ruin it for those fully invested the entire season.
It is what it is.
Upgrade 1st. Drop Kinsler. Upgrade the catcher with somebody who can hit. Get Mookie a sports shrink who can teach him to play under pressure and lets try and win it next year.
Shoot if we won last night I could be chillin' right now with not a care in the world that we were getting shut out. Eff you Kinsler you lackadaisical punk!
It is what it is. I think there's enough at bats to build a reputation however terrible it might be. Brady, Jeter, Kobe stone cold killers when the lights are brightest.
They are certainly shutting us down so far with their elite bullpen waiting in the wings and they can explode in any inning. They'll end up winning this game and probably tomorrow to go back to fenway up 3 games to 2.
