    Who is most likely to. be dropped to make room for Romy ? Is there another IL available among the numerous utility IF'ers?
  2. vegasbob
    Reminds me of a 5 game sweep of NYY in late 1950 's .
  3. vegasbob
    Not exactly the Yanks A lineups. but Red Sox ran 3 rookies at them so far and should win all 3. Maybe go sweeping tomorrow

    No matter one's thoughts on analytic reliance , how do Gasper and Yoshida rate a place at the top of the lineup. If they do get on base, neither runs very well, however, note that Yoshi has not been thrown out (SSS) stealing in a long time. Neither has he hit productively in a long time Gasper is out of gas and could have his career highlight reel produced now. Obviously Cheng should be leading off today , not having to wait until the 3rd inning to slam a double off the CF wall.

    Good thing they lost 2 of 3 to Rockies otherwise Craig B. would be saying, See, I told you we are on a roll now!

    Needs to adjust his swing to avoid dead center or he would have had 2 HRs

    So Tolle shuts down the vaunted NYY's for 7 full on a shutout But the BP. specifically Kahnle. gives up a run and craps out the shutout

    Mickey is a swell fellow and , darn it, people like him. Amazing how a player can beat MLB over a relativeky short period but will bite your low talent butt given enough repetitions
  10. vegasbob
    So you're saying he is available to a pitching/defensive type team
  11. vegasbob
    Gasper rapidly running out of gas , especially as leadoff hitter
  12. vegasbob
    Really great effort by Tolle , who must get the W tonight. Maybe Slaten can cover the 8th and 9th

    Former part time employee at Fenway who only took the job for the health insurance
  14. vegasbob
    He used to work at Fenway in crowd amusement.

    Interesting that Duran stayed closer to HP when the scrum was forming . Contreras should not be stirring up possible trouble and disturb Tolle's mindset.
  16. vegasbob
    I think Tolle is the real deal. Would prefer him over Early in a key game. Payton makes Bello look like a joke
  17. vegasbob
    Ahh. Bello. The name that is easy to forget. I don't think he has been mentioned in a couple weeks. I am sure Brez let's his name come up i. trade discussion
  18. vegasbob
    Wow, nothing like the Sox at Fenway! Great start. Tolle looks tough and efficient. Amazing what hapwhen you pitch 1st strikes
  19. vegasbob
    The Sox cannot be the only team with injuries, so somebody likely needs a fast OF'er. Also, come playoff time a guy who can steal a base ( Dave Roberts), score from 1st on a double or create a double could be highly valued. Beyond those scenarios, not many may need an inconsistent Duran . Craig, call the Dodgers, Braves and Phillies. Maybe DD has a soft spot for Jarren.
  20. vegasbob
    Brez's comments about having to present his recommendations on trades to ownership (Theo? or LeBron??) was telling to me. Unless the trades involved significant money allocations (+ or -) then I would think the CBO is empowered to make those moves on his own based on player performance projections. If Henry now needs to OK a trade of Weissert for Mason Miller with the Padres , it will never get done timely.

    So Splendid Splinter's Coal Dust Twins are reunited on the IL. Certainly not a doctor but a stress reaction in the ulna sounds a lot like a broken arm in the sense of a so called stress fracture, basically a "broken bat" minor crack. But a full healing is still a 4-5 week rest period. Can't wait to see what Cheng brings to the party and/or how long it may take to get Romy G up to MLB speed.
  22. vegasbob
    He probably also relied on players like Anthony, Crochet, Story , Oviedo, Sandoval, Crawford, Romy G. etc contributing to something other than dead money weak performances, then failure to recover from those injuries. Not defending nor a Breslow fan but he got caught with a roster that was OK on paper but performed poorly on the field, had a breakup with Cora and coaches , and cannot get significant players healthy. I still think he will survive the season but not the post season depending on JH's assessment of the CBA negotiations.
  23. vegasbob
    The guy is trying to get better , which I guess you could say about Crochet and Anthony, only in their cases, it is not happening. And Durbin shows an attitude that is different than Duran and Mayer's who specialize in self-flagellation as a cure for suckitude. He is a long way from being any kind of great, just ascending to good enough to carry his weight on a better team . But I do believe he is trying to get there, after trying the Red Sox Way at the plate.
  24. vegasbob
    Agree 100%. Breslow needs to realize that he messed this up and the best way to correct course would be to get some value out of expiring contracts. But in doing that Brez sort of admits to the mistakes and for a genius like himself, that is a very tall order, not likely to be filled.
  25. vegasbob
    Also would like very much for the hitters to take down another good Yankee pitcher as they did last night. This time in support of Tolle.
