    Guess we have some unreasonable fans on the forum. The rest of Red Sox Nation must just care about protecting replacement players who won't even last the year on the back end of the 40.

    I'm not sure what top-of-the-rotation ace the Sox can land for bullpen pieces, Aldo Ramirez and past-their-prime vets on expiring one-year contracts.

    You either work for the front office and have inside insight or haven't been paying attention to Chaim Bloom in the Chaim Bloom Era.

    As a fan of a last-place team with crappy pitching that espouses building for the future -- and then loses young pitching to other teams -- it's unreasonable to be concerned?

    If you're in the box, it's batter up, no excuses. What's the first thing you learn when you bat? Watch the pitcher... No ump's going to save you from wearing one in the ear.

    Snap, crackle, pop... (those were not the sounds of pitches hitting catcher's mitts).

    If that's true, the Sox would be acquiring foundational starting pitching this year. If not, the shades may be drawn, but no sash is raised.

    I'm ok with umps setting the example in ST, but disagree with automatic called strikes if a batter is in the box but not looking at the pitcher. That's the hitter's problem, ready or not -- if he's in the box, he's fair game for the pitcher to pitch to. Come on, young people's brains are just wired differently growing up scrolling devices every day. Any Little League coach knows we can't even get kids to look at us for more than two seconds in practice, when we're actually trying to give tips on how to improve...

    Soto would be great, but not the Red Sox without legitimate starting pitching the next two years. If I'm trading my top prospects, then I have to get top starters -- like Beckett for Hanley, or Sale for Moncada/Kopech. Then try to sign Soto when he's a free agent; you're going to have to, anyway, if you're willing to trade your future for him...

    Of today's four pitchers in the Sunday game -- Wink, Murphy, Mata, Walter -- the latter looked the most impossible to hit. Kind of a live, dangerous version of Sale, Walter has the delivery of a death-to-lefties reliever.
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    That's what... ahhhh
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Can't really remember Felix... was he the cartoon cat who made all that money in animated porn?
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Why would we trade all those pro spects, when we already have Juan Soto (according to Adam Jones).

    Bobby DEEEEEEEEE: two blasts to Right, double and 2-run tater. He's hitting 2,000!
  15. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    One thing Song has going for him -- compared to most pitchers with long layoffs -- is that he's not coming off an injury or surgery. Being in the military might also mean he kept himself physically fit. Unless he hurt himself arm-wrestling at a pub or something, he's still young and strong... unlike old man Kluber, who just had his first full season since 2018. Kluber may have finally adjusted to Father Pitch-Clock -- or the Rays used up what he had left and said Thanks, seeya... similar to what we assume Bloom did with Wacha.

    Sox are undefeated. Scored all their runs in the first to beat the Huskies, 5-3. Big hit was a bases-loaded double by Valdez, who drilled a liner to right-center with very quick hands. He also turned a DP on a feed by Kike. Alfaro had a nice oppo hit, Koss pulled a double, Rafaela stole a pizza, Hamilton played short most of the game.
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    The biggest worry about Song is he makes it as a fulltime pitcher, then a few years from now the Navy needs him back behind the controls, but the closest he's been to a cockpit has been an aisle seat on a charter to a rival ballpark.

    Second night in a row on Report From The Fort that TC has called Whitlock the Sox' best reliever last season. 1) did he watch Schreiber or see his stats? 2) did he mean two years ago?
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Sometimes good teams are so deep in a wealth of talent they have no choice but to lose a good prospect or two, who are blocked by winners above replacements. But of all the unprotected pro ballplayers eligible for the Rule V draft, the first overall pick comes from another last place team? Very unusual. Could amount to nothing. But of the two last place clubs involved in the Ward transaction, one has the chance to look really clever (the $100K fee is about 13% of minimum wage for a rookie). The other has a chance to look totally incompetent.

    You might even say those trades have struck brown, so far (as in sediment in the pan). But can't you see they've struck green, as well? The Red Sox don't have to pay any of those big leaguers their market rates.

    Never guzzle a DQ Mister Misty Freeze

    Houston let Cy Old walk, McCullers is already sore, Seattle is loaded and hungry (and not for late-night breakfast). Astros may be vulnerable in '23... unless they play New York in the playoffs, of course.
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Being high and speculating is who we are! I'm high on orange juice right now, in honor of FLA ST... Boston vs. Boston pro-am (Sox prospects vs. college kids) tomorrow!
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    A team drafting a Rule V guy has to pay $100K to the original club. Do you honestly think any MLB org would rather pay for Park or Hosmer, or just wait until they were DFAed? Or were the Red Sox intentionally leaving guys unprotected that they were hoping to make some money on?
  25. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    The isn't or shouldn't be a debate about whether Song or Ward or Politi become All-Star ace starters or never make it. The point is that the organization that decided to lose them just came in last place twice in the past three years -- mainly because of brutal pitching -- while continually stating a goal to build for the future. And instead, they protected guys like Braiser and Ort, not to mention others they since jettisoned like Park and Hosmer...
