I’ve heard all kinds of talk that Raffy should be getting time at 1B, and to me that is a BIG no. IF, and when they decide to move him to 1B then start try him out in ST. Until then he needs all the reps he can get at 3B' which means NO on him being the backup at 1B also. Like I keep saying I believe JT will be back anyway.
-
Makes no sense, but I’ve seen teams run the ITDD for years, and more times then not it has hurt the team using it more times than it helped them.
-
ND got one snatched away from them last week, and tonight they snatched one away from Duke. They could be 6-0 right now, or just as well be 4-2. A great play by Hartman, but did you see what D Duke was in on the Hartman run? Yep the old ITDD. Invitation To DEFEAT Defense. 3 man rush. Coaches never learn.
-
Chapman is Notin’s pipe dream just like Gallo was last year. Gallo didn’t happen, and Chapman won’t either.
-
I think most on here are assuming JT won’t be back, and I’m not so sure about that. While Chapman would be a big upgrade on D at 3B, and would make the L side of the IF along with Story great on D. If JT comes back though it’s the same Yoshida LF, Raffy 3B, and Casas 1B, and then hope Casas, and Raffy get better. No room for Chapman, and his FA contract anyway.

Drastically weakens the defense?🙈. Nah the slumber in the lumber hasn’t been there at all this year.🤭.
-
Tek has written volumes in that notebook of his, and Dave Bush has ran marathons out to the mound this year. Throw the notebook away, and tie Bush to the dugout like they did Pedro that time. Nothing worked.
-
That’s true about the Dodgers, but the Red Sox have been working around Sale’s dead contract pretty much since it was signed. Glad to see Sale is penciled in as the opening day starter next year unlike this year when Cora gave him the day off to relax, and celebrate his birthday. Of course with Sale being penciled in, and being available are two different things.
-
I know there is good quantity, but not necessarily good quality in the OF, and I have said it would be risky to count on Raf Man, Abreu, and Duran as full time starters next year. If Dugy leaves they need another RHB, and even if he stays another RHH OF is needed. Of course not shoring up he rotation is even riskier.
-
Yamamoto is for a lot bigger need, and worth the money, and risk. Like I said yesterday going into last offseason the Red Sox needed another OF, and a bat. A year later the Red Sox have OF depth, and Yoshida is just clogging up things when the money would be better spent on pitching.
-
And the word was at the time of the signing when Boris shut the bidding down so quick he overpaid dong it.
-
It’s been slumber in the lumber for sometime now. Max named them the No Name offense earlier,but no hit offense would have been better.
-
JD has finished strong. NOshida has not.
-
Speaking of JD he hit his 32 HR last night, and drove in his 100 RBI. Forget about him outhitting JT his 901 OPS has outhit Raffy, and in 150 less AB. No I don’t think the Red Sox should have resigned him, and JT has worked out well, but good to see JD has bounced back this year. Just saying.

9/28 Sox @ Baltimore to view winning team

Martin on IL, and done for the rest of the season with viral infection. Steady Eddie he was. -
Cora was picked by DD, and rehired by Bloom, but I’m not sure it was Bloom’s decision, or not, and it looks like it won’t be the decision of an outsider GM now.
-
The reasons I have doubts is, because of naming O’Halloran exc VP of baseball ops, and telling Cora he will be back.
-
Your a bigger man than me.
-
Word on the street is that the Red Sox have been calling other GM’s not to hire, but to asking advice on who good was out there to hire. Sounds like a top notch operation to me. O’Hall has already been named Exec VP of baseball ops, and Cora has been told he’s coming back in some capacity, so I don’t know how much change is really going to happen.
-
You was arguing with Moon, and Bell was all upset you two were arguing. Look I’m not saying you’re wrong about me, and Moon, and I admit is petty, and childish behavior, but you’ve had arguments with Moon too, and told me you’ve had him on ignore before, so that’s all I was saying. Like Been there, and done that.
-
So why hasn’t he been taught?
-
I saw Casas at least twice this year reach, and stretch forward for a ball that went sailing over his head. That is just bad footwork to begin with.
-
No one said he was, but he commented on it, and I responded to his comment.
-
Like you have never done it before. You had Bell all upset a while back when you were doing your Seinfeld impression, and arguing about nothing. That was two old farts too.

You mean the Red Sox don’t have good coaching?
