    Duran is a gamechanger at this point. But he should watch the video to realize that he was dead on arrival if the 2Bman for the Cubs could catch.

    The Final 71 starts tonight. The make or break run for an injury plagued team ( including long term rehabs ) that will validate the FO and any moves made over the next 2 weeks or result in another crash/burn at the tail of the AL East. That nice run , on pitching fumes, just before the break is like Spring again, eternal raising hopes for green grass at Fenway. It is up to the players to perform and get themselves going by playing smart and at the top end of their abilities. I'l guess at a 40-31 run home , just enough to get the WC #3, while the NYY'ers flounder and get a lease on the basement apartment.

    The prior 10 year record of Red Sox drafts shows a 14% rate of drafted players who reached MLB (48/345). It puts the Sox in the lower mid-third range of teams over that time.

    Good things come to those who wait.

    In a complete shocker, I will say that Corey Kluber will undergo a major progression in August and September to become again a consistent winner surprising the Sox and himself. Look for it to happen.

    And I cannot count the times I was criticized for disliking Matt Barnes consistently since about 2019, even if he was pitching well for a brief half season. With rare exception he was an intellectually challenged, gutless loser who get rewarded and then fell apart helping to make my point. He could not throw strikes when it counted and was Mr. Wild Pitch on his overthrown curve balls, looking goofy in the act . His gross tendency to fall off to his left side during throwing, left his arm dragging behind eliminating all possibilities of a good pitch or fielding his position on a bouncer back to the mound. Hope he saved some of his $10M contract because he will need it in his later years. I'm thankful to have seen through this fraud from the beginning.

    You need the others to trade for the needs you actually do have, like a right hand power bat below the age of 30 .

    Where is Jacksonian ?

    Now with the draft in a couple hours, are all the high school SS's in America holding their breath for the 14th pick of Round 1 ?

    Another helpful tip among friends---the team is going to Chicago but it is the Cubs, not White Sox

    That was a tremendous 5-1 homestand winning games against a good team and sweeping the terrible one. Only thing better is if another AL East team loses today. Only the NYY'ers are in position to do so right now. Jays, Rays and O's are winners

    You are a streak starter , now with 4 days off. You'll probably forget and mess this thing up. WTFU

    Kotsay either doesn't care, doesn't insist on fundamentals, or knows this is his last contract with Oakland. His guys need to be ripped, even if they have limited talent.

    yet another stupid Cora move , resting Alfaro for Wong in the 9th. Idiot
  15. vegasbob
    Saw that sequence and it was a great series of plays by De La Cruz
  16. vegasbob
    Don't loaf chasing balls hit by Duran. Wade for Oakland gets pantsed
  17. vegasbob
    O'Brien confirms that there is CLUTCH and Yoshida's picture is next to it in the dictionary
  18. vegasbob
    That was a terminal illness half inning by our 2-3-4 hitters
  19. vegasbob
    Joely Rodriguez could be a nice addition to the pen especially vs LH hitters
  20. vegasbob
    Yes
  21. vegasbob
    When is a potential DP ball not one? Just now
  22. vegasbob
    But do you know which way the wind blows or for whom the bell tolls ?
  23. vegasbob
    Notin, still looking for a Blackburn deal? He may be a bit weakened from his illness. Kudos to Arroyo for a key 2 out hit tying the game. The Sox are a late inning scoring team
  24. vegasbob
    Duran with a tough AB but no hit. I'm sure that when he sees AC in the clubhouse that Duran loudly plays Fogarty's "Centerfield" ( "Put me in coach, I'm ready to play...centerfield")

    One of the rare benefits of hitting lots of pop-ups is that the defense sometimes flubs them. Got to get Yoshi around
