A Realistic View at the 2026 Red Sox Part II
vegasbob replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
What did it say ? -
It is a balance of trying to win now following the incredible success from 6/25- through most of August. The fact that the commitment to Mead and AR only runs for a period through what will be a short season does support the idea th

A Realistic View at the 2026 Red Sox Part II

Mead's freak injury has affected the 2026 season in terms of roster more than most think -
It will be interesting to see the outcome of the CBA negotiations but I think it is a certainty that it will extend into the 2027 season schedule and J. Henry built his instructions to Breslow based on deferring extensions and FA contracts until the terms are known. Suarez is an odd exception , especially at 31. The fact that Tracy is still an "interim" supports the assumption of a deferred season

For example, if the Red Sox can simply go 11-11, then Cleveland would need to go 16-7 to tie. Orioles and Rangers need 17-5 to tie. The difficulty in the numbers above is the Sox going 11-11 I could be way wrong but I think 2011 showed they could not achieve .500 as Papelbon blew it

Coincidence or just baseball.? After 3+ months your alleged best leadoff hitter and your FT SS return to action , and actually perform very well for the winningnest team in baseball since mid July. Sox promptly drop 3 of 4 games Correlation or Causation ?

If the off season extends into mid summer next year due to CBA wars, the extended rest and short season may be helpful to Rutschman , before he goes FA It will also make clearing the roster of Yoshida and Story by late trade, DFA or just contract completion a reality.

Somehow Bello uses 70 pitches to get through 3 innings. Saved by a rocket shot DP started by Durbin
-
Really concerned about the all important run differential It says a lot about the team's character and intangibles
-
You can't spell Bullpen Burner without using the letters in Bello
-
Seattle scores 8, 9, and 8 through partial 6 again. So much for a team that can't score. Sox are in the 2011 September mode already
-
Range at SS is a little short. Bello is the latest write off
-
So Bello is not back. Defending the bunt almost cost Mickey his head and possibly a DP which would have helped a lot
-
4 games with Orioles may wake up a few guys. As mentioned by another the WC is not a lock yet
-
Still a winnable game but very frustrating at the plate. Don't want to be adding up consecutive losing series. Not seeing Sox HR power again
-
Sogard is looking slow in the field and AB. He may be tiring out too
-
Probably in Mexico since he played WBC for them

Glad to see Bello in and would like him to 5th through 9. Need to see if he can reestablish some pitching skill after the NYY outing
-
But enough about Seattle hitters
-
Wong Ks on a pitch literally 17" out and in the dirt. Hard to see how confusing pitch recognition (spin) is to a CATCHER But then have you seen him catch?
-
Story is hitting so that's good. So was Mona for awhile Trevor's throws for SS are proof of why he should play 2B next year, if at all
-
Duran missed a potential wall ball pitch and knows it
