Barnes has obviously struggled lately, but there are some signs of life. His BABIP is unsustainably high, and most of his problems have clear fixes. He should be able to figure it out down the stretch https://redsoxunfiltered.com/2018/08/29/looking-into-matt-barnes-recent-struggles/

Chavis couldn't anyway because of the PED suspension. Phillips could help for the playoffs in case Kinsler gets hurt again. Dude's been raking at Pawtucket, I could see him fighting Nunez for a bench spot

The Red Sox only have 39 guys on the roster, and they'll need to add someone before September 1st if they're to be eligible for the postseason. My money's on either Brandon Phillips, Travis Lakins, or Kelvin Herrera in a trade https://redsoxunfiltered.com/2018/08/24/candidates-for-the-boston-red-sox-40-man-roster/

You can't help who's on the schedule, all you can do is play. And the Sox sure have been playing

We're on pace for 109 wins, and I think we can exceed it. We should be even better in the second half. https://redsoxunfiltered.com/2018/07/09/110-wins-not-impossible-for-boston-red-sox/

People really don't understand that it costs something to get something. The Thornburg trade was a disaster, and he bought high on Pomeranz, but aside from that every trade has, at the very least, been a win-win

Sandy's actually been the better offensive and defensive catcher this season. Obviously, injuries are never ideal, but this move might actually improve lineup production https://redsoxunfiltered.com/2018/07/08/what-christian-vazquez-injury-means-for-the-boston-red-sox/

Small sample size, but Chavis has done well since his suspension ended

Read an interview with Kent in which he somewhat talked about his lower velocity. Early in his career, he tried to constantly attack hitters every at-bat. While it worked in Lowell, he found out he didn't have the stuff to get away with that against higher competition. He's become a much more cerebral pitcher, so I don't think the lack of velocity will slow him like it did Hall or Camarena Here's the interview: https://redsoxunfiltered.com/2018/07/06/interviewing-portland-sea-dogs-all-star-matthew-kent/

I know the Sox farm system isn't that great right now, but there are quite a few guys at Portland who have some great potential. Don't know why more people aren't talking about them. https://redsoxunfiltered.com/2018/07/06/underrated-portland-sea-dogs-prospects/

https://redsoxunfiltered.com/2018/05/06/how-tyler-thornburgs-return-affects-the-red-sox/ The Red Sox just optioned Cuevas to bring back Thornburg. While he will never be worth what we gave up to get him, I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s got

Price needs to get better against the Yankees, but he’s a very reliable starter the other 151 games a year

If it’s a Kelly vs Sevy fight, I’ll take Kelly all day long

Classy fan. This guys good against us, let’s try to injure him!

https://redsoxunfiltered.com/2018/07/01/rafael-devers-yankee-killer/ This kid absolutely crushes the Yankees, especially on the road. Youngest player in Sox history to go 5-5, and he's batting .326/.354/.500 on the road against New York. I don't think this is a fluke, either. I think this success is here to last.
