  1. Does anyone recall what Kenley Jansen actually looks like on a mound. I know he has been in 3 of 13 games so far, and tonight doesn't look good yet either for a save. Maybe we are saving him for that desperate 10 games out of WC 3 run in August/Sept.
  2. You may not be able to win the pennant in April, but you can sure set the stage for losing it . Realistically this team could look far different in June/July with Story and Duvall back, maybe Paxton, Bello etc on the mound. Wishful thinking
  3. Rally Snuffer Refsnyder. Maybe if the first 2 stiffs had stolen a hit on a bunt, something good could have happened
  4. Dugo meanwhile is contributing nicely with his bat and helping the leadoff position OBP. I truly hope Alex makes a big year of it for himself and the Sox.
  5. Chang is still only 0-14, a mere fraction of Kike's 0-20++ , but does sport an 0.71 OBP , giving him and OPS of 0.71. Nice work, Chaim
  6. It used to be that no opponent wanted to pitch a LHer against any Sox lineup in Fenway. See Whitey Ford of NYY.
  7. Houck's 62 pitch count after 3 would indicate another bullpen session no later than the start of the 6th. Maybe the batters can get a couple runs to make it interesting.
  8. Ironic tha Houck's 2 walks are Ohtani and Trout. Just trying to keep the ball in the yard. Not a bad idea, but watch out for Renfroe Got one back with a K on Ohtani in the 3rd on a sinker.
  9. If I were an opposing scout, just saying, taking notes on Tristan Casas I would go as follows: 1. Always takes first pitch, so pump a center cut at medium speed. 2. Get him to swing and miss chasing a low outside medium FB 3. Put a decent heater on the outer edge of the zone so he will foul it back 4. Work the count to 3-2 , then f*** him with a pitch on the inner edge for called strike 3. He is looking for a walk. No aggression, nor ability to smack heat
  10. Dear Mr. Bloom, you have been a major participant in giving Mr. Cora a roster that currently features a lineup with 5 men sporting a BA in the >100s and also Mr Chang who still is a perfect ZERO. How do you plead ??
  11. No, what's pitiful is the 2 out walk followed by 2 hits, with the rbi's coming off Renfroe's bat
  12. I see Moon is in the pen warming up for a " Realistic View of 2024, Part 1" in the near future. Let's play LAA and Twins at Fenway over the next week to see if what we have been seeing is what we are going to see for the next 150 games . Peter Abraham likely summed it up well about this roster being a bunch of spare parts and retreads . Bloom needs to do something decisive to keep himself in his seat and the fans in their seats
  13. Kutter throws an 80mph curve to Brandon Lowe who promptly deposits it in the Bank of Deep RF. Another pitching key find by the Sox
  14. Chang on 2nd must be regarded as foreign territory
  15. I can't be sure but the analytic guys may want to look at the 2Bman positioning on those 2 ground balls, especially the second
  16. Boone is still around, so there's hope for Chaim.
  17. For all our joking and criticizing as fantasy GM's , Bloom and Cora have the real world problem of dealing with a poor April start ( again) and reshaping a roster that includes Dalbec as a utility infielder, matching up with Yu Chang and Christian Arroyo, so $10MM Kike can patrol CF since the one guy Bloom brought in as a RH bat broke his wrist diving on a short fly. Good luck to 2 guys who need to salvage their careers over the next 5 months.
  18. Thank goodness we are going home to Fenway where we are, let's see 2-4?? Enough with the Rays, hope they win about 120 games
  19. Look at the OPS for Rays and it would be hard to get that lineup wrong no matter how you positioned them.
  20. Pulling Kluber was understandable but Bleier has no luck at all after the 2 ground balls
  21. Then Margot screws them royally with a perfect bases loaded 2 out bunt
  22. 2 f'ing ground balls and can't be lucky enough to be positioned to pick them up. Always with 2 outs
