  1. Hard to argue with O'Neill's HR total but he will play about 2/3rds the games this year, and was MIA with his bat for a long while
  2. Wong saves Gonzalez from looking like the inexperienced guy he is on that grounder and subsequent spineroo. throw.
  3. Just pleasedd as punch with the Sox starters , other than Criswell, who think it is part of the deal to fall behind in the first inning. Bello does it often. Play from behind. Feels better when you finally win.
  4. Yesterday also confirmed that the 2024 season is over with respect to making a rush to the WC finish line. If that was to be accomplished, it needed to start 2 weeks ago. The bats may yet heat up and recover from their swoon, but there is no saving this dog ass bullpen . And save the electrons telling me Kelly's stats. If he is our most productive, safest bet in the BP, then it is beyond OVER. Also getting very close to trashing Chris Martin as a competitor. Mental problems through yesterday's "illness" . Go home Chris, you're fully baked now.
  5. Fellows, with a record of 3-4 against an historically bad team like CWS, there is your season in a nutshell. Baltimore , NY and Rays on tap for the next 10 . I'll say 3-7. 2024 is officially over as far as being competitive.
  6. I simply cannot relate to Zach Kelly . Worthless thrower
  7. Abreu draws a lot of trade talk as being the guy who , as part of a deal, could bring a good #2/#3 pitcher. That puts a lot of confidence in Anthony to become a productive MLB'er
  8. He may have been a little gassed, but it was Casas who opened the doors to those 2 runs.
  9. Bulletin just in--- Sox officially losing to the Sox despite Weissert's best effort, and inability to hit
  10. Richard Fitts, meet your defensive specialists, fully ready to support your shutout effort
  11. If a team with RISP can't hit FB's nor Change ups , what's left. Flexen isn't throwing many breaking balls. No matter what anyone says about Story, the SSS is the counter argumnet
  12. Well, it is a day game aftera night game after 5 months of warmups, so don't expect much. Feel bad fore the poor teams that have to play into October. Fitts has pitched well enough to be a consideration for regular work. He has let 4 leadoff runners reach base but worked around them. Chicago is not the greatest measuring stick for a pitcher but it is the MLB, not AAA
  13. Maybe Sox try to bring him to Ft. Myers in February
  14. Dalbec joins a list of flameouts that have run through the Red Sox system over the past 10-15 years. All teams have guys who just can't cross the line into MLB but Bobby D. hung on longer than most.
  15. Casas comes off IL with some hitting but quickly reverts into the slump mode. Was there really any question that it would be a slow rebuild . He makes me miss Dom Smith
  16. The end of an era/error. Took forever to cancel Bobby D.
  17. Kyle Hudson . 3B coach, needs help from Gambler's Anon. Not his first bad call with Duran running. Then Abreu decides to run with 2 outs. Brain dead
  18. With the potential loss of this game, and only 19 to go, White Sox won't reach 40 wins
  19. Don't be fooled. Criswell gets away with some weak pitching to a bad team, and struggles getting the 3rd out, a common problem with some of our pitchers. But he is carrying the lead into the 5th, where AC will jerk him with 2 outs , lol
  20. Tyler O'Neill , who has not exactly won the Nation over, hits a 400' line drive about 50' off the ground that may have cleared Lansdowne had it not hit the banner preventing continued flight. AND with Raffy on base Very strong guy. It will be interesting to see who goes after him on what type of deal over the winter.
  21. Like I said , thew Sox are hitting very well and Crochet has no chance . Well, Criswell is still our pitcher, so who knows. Crochet has issues
  22. Here's an original idea , Cooper, let's give up a 2out, 2 run HR in the first, so the guys can play from behind . Especially because the Sox are hitting so well, it doesn't matter
  23. Allen Craig lives in my current hometown of Temecula, CA and I have met him on a few occasions . He worked with the Padres front office part time He has alluded to personal issues that affected him during his time in Boston, other than the foot condition.
  24. So the return of Trevor Story which should be quite a story in itself. Puts Rafaela on 2B to add to his repertoire of being all over the place this year. Much to his credit. Alas that means farewell to Mickey Gasper . Mickey will go down in the record books as having a lifetime BA of .000 , not entirely rare , but combined with an OPS of .250 Mickey did work 4 walks in his 16 PA's . He K'ed 9 of those 16 PA's, and unfortunately never scored .
  25. Having seen the rarest of rare in Sox Nation, a Friday night win at home, why not a big bat day vs Crochet ? If they can just get on a roll, it will keep us guessing as to which series or loss was the one that kept them out of the WC . There's a lot of candidates if the Red Sox miss by only a game or two.
