    Is it bad when your wild card-pretending pitching staff allows four Home Runs to Detroit -- the AL's second-worst HR hitting team (to Cleveland's Garter Belts)
  4. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Bad? Bear claw's pitch hit Carpenter's bat halfway down the handle, went straight up, and landed in some doofus' beer cup on the monster.

    But the blue one, to match the missing helmet -- City Disconnect On second thought, keep yer head. With only two frames left, no need to stick our necks out to watch 89 more Sox' pop-ups...

    You know Bloom isn't criticized for all the supplemental, platoon players or roster depth he's added that actually contribute to a winning cause. And yet, reposting lists like these that show the so-called "good moves" reveal the issue: where are the major impact players at impact positions that can and do put big market teams in the World Series? Without going over every guy on the list, who had more than a few impact months for Boston? I've got one full year of Whitlock in relief. Hopefully, Martin and maybe Jansen will stay consistent and join him this October. Or maybe Turner or Yoshida will stay healthy and consistent with the bats. But here's the thing about Bloom and impact guys -- they either leave, like Mookie and Xander, and are not replaced with other stars -- or they never sign in Boston or are acquired to lead the Red Sox -- like at the top of the rotation.

    Don't worry -- if they're coming off the IL, that means they're all cured.

    Damn, Max -- you solved the latest restgate! And also reinforced why Cora is such a players' manager. What a guy. re. Turner: hate to say it, but he could be toast -- at least as the repeatable clutch-hitting hero of this season. Bad heels don't heal quickly on mere mortals, not to mention wheel-abusing 38-year old pro athletes.

    Whoa -- who would've thunk it. And using the lip-reading test on telecasts, Duran may also be outhumbling junk-talking Julio...
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Yes, if they were serious about making their best run for a wild card. Jordan Montgomery giving them 5-6 IP per start would've already made a huge difference in preserving the actual Big League relievers in the bullpen, plus Chris Stratton would've given them the missing RHP for the late innings to replace bargain bin waiver wire DFAed minor league detritus. And no matter what Sam Kennedy says, relying on injured guys coming off the IL isn't as good as acquiring healthy guys having good years. But we are where we are... and can only hope we don't fall a game or two short of the Jays for the postseason.

    Well, the Cardinals traded a decent starter and a reliever having a good year for two Rangers' prospects in the #11-15 range (plus a big league reliever). But far be it for me to equate actual prospect numbers -- or assume St. Lou would prefer guys from the Sox' 4th-ranked farm, compared to Texas' 7th-ranked farm, per fangraphs. All Cora really needed was one. more. legitimate. starting. pitcher in the Toronto series -- instead of having to use back-to-back openers, which caused poor Pablo to burn out his shotputting shoulder heaving 37 mph Leephuses. One win -- instead of getting swept by the Jays -- and the two clubs would be tied today in the loss column... of course, they'd both be chasing the sizzling Mariners.

    Monegro moved up to #22 on MLB Sox prospect list... only 4 other pitchers are ahead of him: #9 Gonzalez, # 10 Perales, #16 Bastardo, #18 Drohan. Monegro and Perales are each 20 years old. Interesting to note that the Red Sox current big league leader in WAR -- Bello -- is already 24. He debuted at 23, after rocketing through the system. (man, we're going to be in awe of that 2027 Sox club... those of us old-timers who make it that far)

    It's obviously only coincidence that Teel was the best college catcher in the country -- and that the Red Sox had no really good catching prospects in their entire system. But since he was the no-brainer best player available when Boston's #14 pick rolled around, the front office must be salivating at the potential. It should be no problem to move him to shortstop, after they move the other best players they picked who also play shortstop to other positions. Teel could even DH on the days he doesn't pitch...
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I'm in for a Brainer Bonaci, and will raise you a Chase Meidroth.
  21. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    This may send some amateur analysts into a frenzy, but with Teel -- maybe, just maybe -- Bloom didn't just snatch the Best Player Available... because the Red Sox really needed a top catching prospect -- --- ya know, to help build the core of the next sustained contenders. NOW SIGN (OR TRADE some shortstop prospects for) BELOW-30 CONTROLLABLE STARTING PITCHERS... ASAP damn it

    We have a winner! B.... but what is the name of this beer... that supposedly sold out daily (intentionally underproduced -- hey, it worked)

    SSS: Small Short Stop? For what he's done for just one week, Pablo now gets first name reverence with Sox fans.

    WHY is Cora resting Ortiz? Oh... bad heel

    Sometimes I wish I could crawl right into the can. note: preceding quote directly lifted from the script on the beer I'm drinking right now. Who can name it? Hint: New Englanders -- it's from Vermont
