    Then no hit at all, and a. bounce out

    Just wondering.... John Henry must have a good idea where the Owners will really stand in the year end CBA negotiations. Could he have a strong sense of a 2027 shutdown, shared that with Craig B. and they determined that 2026 was not the place to spend more solidifying the roster or getting any FA over 28-29 year old ? Get the younger players more experience and don't worry about the Story's and Masataka's because they will become irrelevant after a non-season . One of the big issues after the shutdown over a salary cap or other redistribution plan will be the status of existing contracts, especially if they play only a short season once one party gives up and compromises. I think 2027 is a bigger factor than we may be thinking , particularly in the 2026 roster construction.

    Whatever the malaise going through the bats now, especially at home , could easily look different in late June. Reversion to the mean by players with talent and pro histories could easily improve the numbers. Run scoring is actually on an uptick. The BP has lost the more recent games. The Sox have scored 4-6-2-5-6 over the last 5. Remember, when reliever takes a loss it means they entered the game tied or leading and gave up the eventual winning run. Sox relievers have lost 14 of the 31 L's.

    So Mickey Gasper is the new #1 catcher. ? Narvaez and Wong better be checking their option status. What are the pitchers saying ? Only 40 ABs and a .732 OPS, 2 doubles out of 13 hits and only 2 RBIs. But that is what will get you an extended trial period on the 2026 Red Sox.

    Trust me I am not touting Gruesome Grissom who was a failure in Boston. Someone asked during yesterday's game, how he was doing. The basic answer is marginal but did hit a Grannie last night The comment by AC is the real point . The Sox took him for Sale on the assumption Grissom had worthwhile talents of a regular and Sale was fragile, if not washed up and look at the money the Sox will save. No, I would not want Gruesome back for any reason.

    Breslow's job at Chicago Cubs was VP Pitching . That he may have a clue about. Your comment on every day players is highly accurate and could affect the eventual careers of the Red Sox young , not so developing players

    It won't happen but i would like to hear from 2 people: Chaim Bloom on where he was going with his team when dismissed , what was his next planned set of moves ? Alex Cora, now that he has had a month on the beach as to why the poor start and failure to recover. What is his take on Breslow personally and as a baseball exec. You will never hear either comment honestly due to the unwritten baseball rule of never crap on your peers because you may work with them again

    Let's see, no options. no position (2B?), can't defend well, not a bench stalwart, don't know where to stick him . I have it...trade him for the for injured fragile Chris Sale who will not pitch in 2025 or '26 . Braves were suckers. There are some serious idiots in the Sox FO

    Grissom did hit a GS tonight for Angels. There really must be something wrong when players get to Boston
  10. vegasbob
    Very true, .
  11. vegasbob
    About as useless a stat as there is as long as he cannot play
  12. vegasbob
    Building him up as trade bait. Look at that power arm !
  13. vegasbob
    He looked weak after WBC but started to be effective. Your IP list shows that isn't helping much. But look at it this way. Only 4 more seasons after this one. Would not hesitate to make him available in a bigger trade

    This one should not be on Suarez alone. Weissert let 2 inherited runners score and Guerrero gave it away allowing 2 runs. Abreu's crappy AB in the 9th didn't help
  15. vegasbob
    Almost tied it but again just short
  16. vegasbob
    Bulletin just in--- Abreu is not a great hitter. He chased 2 balls before bouncing to pitcher.
  17. vegasbob
    Trade quick, he's on a short fuse

    Mono-stereo is stupid. Tired of guys watching K3 in key situations
  19. vegasbob
    OK, seriously, if the Sox leave the 2 runners on 2nd and 3rd, it will be time for Tesla's Death Beam
  20. vegasbob
    Mickey starts the doomed rally
  21. vegasbob
    Even the 3 HRs while very welcome were solos so you get 4 runs despite 3 Hrs. 1 hit over about 6 innings before IKF shot

    I see barreled line drives from Braves hitters and bloops, broken bats, bouncers from Sox. It is well documented in the article on Loss of Power on this website
  23. vegasbob
    The difference I see between Braves and Sox hitters is about 30-35' in distance carry

    If the ball is spinning or even knuckling which part is the top ? No hitter, even Ted W, could see which part of the ball was the top of the ball at the moment of contact. Proof of Heisenbergs uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics

    Guerrero was a pretty key salvage pickup and then callup. Makes me appreciate Zack Kelly a little more
