You don’t know how much you’ll get, or can count on Martin.
-
Might return isn’t good enough. The Red Sox need Jansen Now. Of course they need at least one more solid starter also.
-
Pissing off Cora is nowhere near as important as pissing off Raffy, and the rest of the players in that clubhouse.
-
Good point on Grissom.
-
Especially after Whit went down. Bad luck it is, and a twist of fate that after a change of scenery Sale is healthy, and Gio, and Grissom is not.
-
Also in the meantime JH is shelling out $35M. I’m sure he’s not laughing all the way to the bank like the Braves are. Wait the Braves don’t have to go to the bank this year to pay Sale. Grissom is irrelevant at this point OFF, and on the field.
-
Outside of Raffy the rest of the IF is patch work on a daily basis that doesn’t show up as much when they are winning. Lose a couple games, because of it, and it will be a different story.
-
Criswell will start tonight. The Wing Man has been sent back down.
-
I think most are still in the I’ll believe it when I see it camp despite the Sam Speak, and the Breslow jargon, and his I’ll pick a lane statement.
-
2 would be great, but even settling for 1 may be a big ask.
-
The fact that this question has to be even asked is pretty ridiculous IMO. The Red Sox on July 12 are in a pennant race still early, or not, and are facing a team they are fighting for a postseason spot with. If Criswell comes up someone will have to be sent down. BIG deal! Wink got sent down to get stretched out as a starter, and he comes back up, and gets 1 start. I like Wink in the BP anyway, but WTF?
-
Quite a transformation the Butterfly Man has made the last two years.
-
I don’t see Mayer getting traded anytime soon. He’s been the chosen one since he was drafted. Story Land’s contract is for 3 more years healthy, or not. I know there is lots of worry on here about who gets traded, loses playing time, or sent back down, but like I’ve said many times that things tend to work themselves out. It sounds good that Mayer, Story, Grissom, and DHam would all be healthy, and playing good at the same time, and on the team. If that happens at some point it would be a good problem to have, but then again things tend to work themselves out.
-
So far so good. Schedule gets tougher from here starting tonight with not playing many losing teams through the end of August. One team coming on fast that the Red Sox has lots of games with is Houston.
-
GOshida!
-
Casas was 1-15 in March this year, and got better as April went along, and that was after a spring training. He hasn’t played since April, and when he’s healthy enough to play he’ll need some rehab. If he comes back, and they get some production out of him great, but I’m not counting on it.
-
Let’s not worry about Ref Man. Things usually work themselves out, and that bridge will be crossed if they get there.
-
By the time he gets back there might not be much time left.
-
Exactly.
-
100%. Bloom acted like he spoke though.
-
Like I said yesterday Casas isn’t close to being ready, and who knows what you’ll get from him when he does come back.
-
I didn’t say he said he was out. I said I didn’t think they wanted to do anything. He mentioned about picking a lane a few weeks ago, but lately his jargon has been he’s still evaluating, and still has decided which fork in the road to take. If he hasn’t decided yet that is not a good sign to me IMO.
-
Brez will take center stage soon. What he does when he gets there is the big question. There is definitely need for at least 1 starting pitcher, but then again there is always that need. Listening to the jargon that Brez has been throwing out there recently I don’t think he really wants to do anything at all, so we’ll see if he gets stage fright, and stays behind the curtain, or does something, and come out, and get a curtain call.
-
I don’t think most teams have a FT DH, but it’s worked out pretty good for the Red Sox through the years.
-
The best 2B the last 3-4 years was Story in 2022.
