  1. Hope the 4th of July includes some Red Sox fireworks !! Looking to extend the 3 game win streak against a really good Ranger team (50-35) leading the AL West by 3 over the Astros , after Monday's 12-11 loss . Sox have 6 at home ( 3 w/TX; 3w/A's) before the reset of the All-Star break. Need to go 4-2 minimum . The Red Sox starter is TBD as of Monday while Cora and Bloom commiserate over a cold beer. If Bello is going Wednesday and Paxton is having a baby, who is left in the shredded rotation ? Call it a BP game or will a WooSoxer get an MLB appearance plus a day's pay? Texas will start Dane Dunning (RH) sporting a 7-1 record with a 2.69 ERA /1.10 WHIP. But he is not a strikeout artist with 51 in 80 innings, good news for a few in our typical lineup. Dunning came out of the TX bullpen having worked 8 games there before being inserted into the rotation .
  2. Yes, you could call it Bloom's Last Stand or Bloom's Revenge . It would feature comments on why Devers was traded for Bogaert's return from SD.
  3. Yes, much agreed. That one had all the earmarks of many earlier losses that were lost late or the result of missed opportunities.
  4. After starting a 3 game win streak, I'm getting a pass on disdaining Kike .
  5. Incredible series sweep and utter dominance of the dead BJ's . Does this mean I need to start the next game thread too ?
  6. Hope Jacques got the memo on 3 outs in the inning
  7. The LH swinger is on a trajectory towards 1B so it's a graceful continuation move. The RH hitter has to stop his entire momentum and reverse direction of his hips/legs/torso
  8. Congrats to Dugo for enabling the sweep, but get one more please, maybe 2 or 3. Is Kenley on the agenda ?
  9. I trust that you have ever heard the phrase " compare and contrast" . I contrasted Casas still developing potential as a "100 OPS+" ballplayer to Kike's 0% possibility of ever being my fav Red Sox. There is no comparison.
  10. Duran now needs to steal 2nd and 3rd, then score on a wild pitch
  11. Every time you think Casas is ready to break out, he reminds you he is average . OTOH , Kike is flat useless
  12. Justin Time Turner is not average in any way . A gamer as they say
  13. As mentioned elsewhere on Talksox, this team is the definition of averageness, middle of the road, compromising , not exceptional, etc. However, I draw the line at mediocre. To me that would be below average. Revert to the mean or perish
  14. if Duvall is sick , as mentioned , then Cora is managing this one with a very short bench . Caleb Hamilton and sore Yoshida are all there is ?
  15. Sox will be at home next week. Paxton and wife presumably live in Boston area, unless she went home to Momma. Paxton can take 4 hours out to throw a 2 hitter and get back to the hospital .
  16. Looking forward to July 2024 when Bloom ( or his successor) can trade Sale to a NL wanna be contender looking for quick help. Sox can pay off his salary. Of course, that would require Chris Sale to be physically capable.
  17. Ort was testing his luck the other day and doesn't have it now
  18. Notin, "You don't have to worry about seeing Whitlock no more"----a bad takeoff on Peter Clemenza explaining Paulie's absence. I think Bloom traded him after the HR, lol
  19. Whitlock is another of those 2 outs don't make an inning pitchers
