Wong who was having significant trouble buying a hit in his very limited ABs so far will get a chance at a clean restart come mid to late May. Maybe that will be a win from this not so good situation. It may also allow Connor, when back to remain fresher deeper into the season . It may also prompt Breslow to reconsider the catcher position by trade deadline. It is Narvaez's job to perform and solidify . Let's wish him well in doing so -
Criswell just made a deposit on a one-way to Worcester . Showing nothing and using lots of pitches to do so
-
Cardinals better check the waiver wire for some pitching . They have been beat badly by our bats in this series.
-
Certainly did what he was called up for . Certainly should have the win in the books if the BP can hold a 9 run lead.
-
Dobbins getting the gift of a lifetime: His first MLB win . All he has to do is plow through a few more innings, say the 7th and make outs happen
-
Somewhere in all that talent, there must be an opportunity to trade for a #1 catcher. Wong is not improving over his baseline, not hitting . Narvaez has been surprisingly good in his turns , but this team could go far with a good catcher who can hit.
-
Don't lose sight of Abreu's arm and Gold Glove . Now if he can pick up LH pitching better, he will be the All-Star. Meanwhile, he's having a nice day at Fenway
-
Duran maybe trying to do too much . Swinging at high balls out of zone. He is slumping sharply
-
Yeah, let's trade Abreu now, while he's hot and throw in Chapman too since he tends to wildness
-
A potential win still, but many missed opportunities by key guys, including Whitlock , Duran and Bregman.
-
I would say Abreu. Duran matured a bit late and is still controllable. Not exactly tearing up the leadoff spot this year. Can't steal second or third until you get on base
-
What planet is Wong on ? Finally gets a hit then gets fooled and picked.
-
Agreed. The NESN broadcast is all about the charitable works of the RS Foundation. Good for them. Werner and Henry alone could fund it for years. Made me turn the sound off and watch the actual game.
-
2 out , 2 strike pitching. So many memories of the last few seasons
-
Nice work with bases loaded 0 outs by Hamilton, Wong and Duran.
-
You may well be correct, but I think Fitts may be the better pitcher . The object remains to win the game you are playing , not to alter a future that doesn't exist yet. I don't see skipping Fitts a turn to be productive.
-
Campbell pitching on the proverbial thin ice. Cora will have the bullpen on the edge of their bench if Sean allows a baserunner in the 3rd.
-
What happened to Fitts ?
-
True enough. In fact, bellweather R. Devers has 3X as many hits. In any case, Conor Wong is sliding backwards down Occam's Razor
-
Wong with 2 days off ? Maybe banged up or Buehler likes Narvaez ?

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
vegasbob replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
When it came to pitching , Bloom knew nothing and acted accordingly. Breslow starts from a whole different place , and has the luxury of a loaded AAA team to provide depth . Overall , the development of drafted, cost controlled pitching is still lagging. -
A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
vegasbob replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The value of a win or a loss at the beginning of a season is exactly the same as on September 30. The difference between losing or winning now is that the team has many more chances to overcome its deficits , leading to the age-old rationalization , "It's early" . Yes, the Red Sox as a team and roster with depth, is much better than the teams of 22/23 and even the .500 boys of '24.
