    JDM was huge for the Sox in '18, '20 was a mess for all, and he produced in '21 and will do so in '22 better than most on this roster. The flip side is that they definitely won't pay him again , and he is showing the effects of declining skills and power over the 5 years.

    JH and the FO may not want to pay Bogey and Devers the market but those two do make a compelling duo with the bats. I think I'll just enjoy JDM's last season for the hitter he has been and appreciate his contributions

    Toronto attendance looks a little like TB attendance

    So Venable is an oh-for as an interim manager? Time for Cora to stir the pot.

    No team is currently so far out of it that they would trade off a shutdown reliever, much less legit closer, except for a big premium. The current bunch will need to slog through the AL East getting better weekly and then make a move in July. If they plod along at a .500 pace ( not there just yet), they won't need to deal for an established reliever this year. But they will be sellers at the deadline unless in contention.

    Since this is the BP thread, why pick on the hitters here ? Instead , didn't the hitters in the last 3 games tie or gain a lead by the top of the 8th ? Then wasn't it the BP who gave up the winning ( losing) runs . The reality is that the talent level below Whitlock isn't amazing, it's marginal and in the most recent pressure situations blew the game , along with the Story/Dalbec fiasco.

    I think there was and is no intention on going all in for 2022. The signing of Story to a market rate deal is one step ( Whitlock's extension is another) to a full rebuild of this team pointing towards 2023/24. The deletion of Bogey, JDM and others at the trade deadline vicinity will be the prospect building moves to complete the cost efficient reorganization that Bloom was instructed to achieve. The rush of success at season's end in 2021 pushed our expectations beyond ownership/FO's reality.

    One thing about the Sale related comments and Bloom's response to that situation is that Sale's rib injury apparently occurred in February , well before the new CBA was settled. Did the Red Sox not know they had an issue there? Did Sale not let anyone know, "Hey, I can't breathe too deeply" ? I think Bloom could have moved more aggressively once Sale's current injury was known , certainly when dealmaking resumed in mid-March.

    Definitely Diekman , yes. But Strahm was brought in to get a groundball since he supposedly throws a s(t)inker . He gave up a flyball to a lower level batter after getting to 2 strikes.
  10. vegasbob
    7 freakin relievers in the game and one of them wrecks it and the last one can't get a K or groundball OR a haircut.
  11. vegasbob
    No, it's "early'
  12. vegasbob
    Thanks Strahm
  13. vegasbob
    Didn't like him then, not now and won't like him come September 30

    Anyone who has seen my posts on Barnes will know that I think he is the embodiment of the 3 *******s accompanying Dorothy to OZ
  15. vegasbob
    Love me some Matty Barnes , he will still get them out
  16. vegasbob
    Splendid, there is the first man on second , nobody out fail to score in your recap
  17. vegasbob
    They go from needing one out to now needing a minimum of 3 more, maybe a few more.
  18. vegasbob
    Diekman should have been gone immediately after the first two hits ( 1run).
  19. vegasbob
    Somehow, our opponents overcome the humidified deadball to go over the wall, but not our warning track shooters
  20. vegasbob
    Now Venable goes out to pull Dick-man. He may become the first interim manager to never win a game, although i imagine he's getting all his direction via cell phone
  21. vegasbob
    Huge run and running from Kike to score the 5th run
  22. vegasbob
    Dugo gets what was needed . He is markedly improved at the plate over 2021
  23. vegasbob
    Now 2 on , no outs, need to score 2 more with smart hitting from the core of the lineup. Here it comes
  24. vegasbob
    Take that all night, nice hit
  25. vegasbob
    2 on , no outs, Story up,,, what's the story?
