The manager, AC, is saddled with playing a revolving door of true rookies at key positions ( or out of position guys like Cedanne) in the infield . This is not the sign of a team making the playoffs. Story's and Grissom's season long injuries created the same problems in the field that the Giolito, Whitlock, Martin and other short term injuries in the rotation and BP . The FO has failed to support this team with any kind of notable acquisition. This strict adherence to JH's business plan of internal development , lux tax avoidance and adequacy of young players was and is a sellout. Their semi-success to date and the 30,000+ attendance only reinforces that plan. Games are being played , and not ones on the field. Fans are being played for fools.

This situation of surplus MLB experienced back up infielders ( several of whom are now starting for an over .500 team most of 2024) emphasizes that Breslow needs to convert one or more or a basket full into some form of mid level pitching help. Maybe Grissom is the bench player to keep him upright. I'm sure this will be sorted out in ST.
-
Isn't it a wonderful feeling that going into ST 2025, your MI/DP combo will be Trevor Story and Vaughn Grissom ? Assuming you have 2 bench MI's on the 26, you have lots of choices: R. Gonzalez, D. Hamilton, E. Valdez, N. Sogard and even J. Westbrook. Then there is Marcello Mayer , not even on the 40 man yet. Sorry MM , no room for you and we can't just sit you on the bench. That looks like 8 players for 2 starters and 2 bench boys. The other 4 can man WooSox until the April injury bug bites the top 2 again.

Here it is in a nutshell, the position players turned over 7-2 lead , after 7 innings. 6 outs to go. The combined relievers used coughed up 5 runs in regulation, including 2 HR's , forced a 10th inning and promptly gave up 2 more including an HR. 7 runs while accumulating 9 outs, allowing 3 HRs Hamilton made an error allowing a run in the 8th , with 2 outs. Hamilton/Rafaela do not make the 9th inning DP and Wink gives up a 3run, 2 out HR immediately after. Pitching and defense but that is a broken record.
-
Neither of whom is likely to be there next year . But you will see the Winks, Boosers, Bernies, Kelly's and others who cannot get 3 outs in an inning
-
Zack Kelly is my other candidate for SoS reliever of the year. Always good for the big fly. Breslow really has handed AC some trash
-
Booser out with a sore elbow, Bernie back. Pick your poison, AC, night after night
-
WTF does any of that inning have to do with Cora. Sogard says he can't gut it out, Rafaela gets all excited and blows it, but not near as bad as Wink who allowed 2 hits to open the inning . He only can get 2 outs , never 3.
-
Plays not made, Sogard hurt, Rafaela to SS throws high on a DP. Then Winckowski , one of the supreme 2 out pitchers , never 3 outs, blows a 3 run lead. He is truly crap on a stick
-
Maybe when things get all messed up for the Sox, we can call it a 503 situation. Right now Tanner Houck is skating on the thin ice of a 501 situation. Playing from behind earlyis an endless loop with the Red Sox
-
Sox are now 1 back of the Royals for WC 3, and 1 up on the Mariners ( 2 in loss column). But still 2 below .500 at home. Go figure.
-
Mariners lost 15-1, KC losing to Twins13-3 . A NIGHT FOR BLOWOUTS.

So-gard, So Good
-
Conor Wong can be a good hitter , certainly compared to other catchers this year. Let's get him across the plate for a bit more insurance
-
Position players saying to the pitchers, Ok , dudes, this is all yours, we're done helping
-
Cory hit a bullet luckily---At'em, being Dom Smith.
-
What was the point of Romy's PH AB ? He was totally clueless vs Pennington.
-
And Sims was bailed out on a bad CHump call
-
Booser doing his best to get behind in the count with no putaway pitch in his arm. About to give it all back. F'ing ******** bullpen, Breslow
-
Crawford with an excellent game , but once the no hitter was busted, he melted like ice cream on the sidewalk. Still , he set up a win, though leaving a clean up in aisle 4.
-
Got home just in time to see Kutter's former no hitter through 5 and the 5 run Boston 5th. All very welcome signs. Need to close this one out for a series win.
-
Keep the baseballs inside the walls , Kutter

You mean Justin Trudeau, Margaret Trudeau's son by Fidel Castro ?
-
Why does Jarren need to be a "nice guy" ? Have you people spent any time around celebrity/sports type? There are many nice people who enjoy fans, but there are at least as many that wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire..

Because you can tell by observation, Rob R. is a professional . Duran was a loser who became a gladiator but when tempted reverted to his nature like the scorpion and frog story.
