    2023 Chris Sale has a lot to do with that.
  2. Old Red
    Not the start the Red Sox wanted, or needed, but only 12 games in. Not panicking yet, but it wouldn’t take much to get there. The offense shouldn’t be as bad has it’s been, and it showed a little bit of life last night. SS, and CF seem the most concerning right now along with the Start of Chris Sale, which I think most agreed that a productive Chris Sale is a must for the team to have any chance of a postseason appearance.

    The good news is the Red Sox scored some runs tonight. The bad news is they lost again, and Sale had a rough outing again.
  4. Old Red
    Good to see the offense showing some life tonight.

    Like I said Cora, and Bloom get together, and brainstorm, and they come up with things like Bobby D at SS. Just like last year with Franchy at 1B, and Arroyo in RF. At least Bobby D is an IF, and can’t be any worse than what the Red Sox have been getting from Kike. If he is, and since obviously there are no other options maybe it’s time for JH to sell, and get someone in here who willing to get someone who can find a competent option.

    You mean like the idea that Cora came up with today. Bobby D wasn’t playing SS at ST, and down at Worcester for the heck of it. Cora, and Bloom come up with ideas like Franchy Strangeglove at 1B.

    Bello vs Ohtani on Pats Day?
  8. Old Red
    Bello threw 80 pitches yesterday. He’s ready. Cora only lets his starters go 5 anyway.
  9. Old Red
    It’s not a cheap shot on the Mookie trade. Jeter Downs was a BUST, and Wong is a backup C. Like I said before I’m not looking for any major prospect here to play SS, or CF just someone somewhat reliable, and competent, which obviously the Red Sox do not have.
  10. Old Red
    It would be a waste to use Bello as a piggyback, and Whitlock too. I’m all for Whitlock in the BP, but not as a PB.
  11. Old Red
    How about drawing the lineup out of a hat? It couldn’t hurt at the moment.
  12. Old Red
    I said it wasn’t a good option, but better than Kike at the moment. Maybe Cora can come out of retirement.
  13. Old Red
    Over due considering all the Scuffling that’s been going on.
  14. Old Red
    I would love to see Kike go on one of his hot streaks, and I’m sure he, and the Sox would as well, but I’m just not to confident it is going to happen.
  15. Old Red
    Before it was Gallo.
  16. Old Red
    #1 who’s fault is it that they don’t have anymore options than what you mentioned? Playing Kike at SS is pretty much like playing no one there anyway. It’s surly is not a good option, but Bobby D I don’t think would do any worse, and at least would get a base hit every now, and then. As for the loser I’ve seen others go back, and forth with another poster on here myself.
  17. Old Red
    In the short term losing Bogey was, and is a losing proposition.
  18. Old Red
    I agree with Yoshida, and Casas playing, because they are going to be around for a few years, and are not a stopgap like Kike, and i wouldn’t call playing Kike as a best bet, and if it yours you’re probably a loser.
  19. Old Red
    That’s the point the eye test will tell you he’s not hitting pretty much anything, and hasn’t since 2021.
  20. Old Red
    That’s my point. Mayer, Rafaela, Blies, Yorke may be up some day, but they are no help now, and there is no help to be had at the here, and now, which is what’s most important at the moment.
  21. Old Red
    I didn’t know Kike was everyone, and Kike sucked pretty much with the bat last year too. I said at the time he was resigned that the Red Sox could have done better with $10M. The hero worship that Kike gets on here just astounds me.
  22. Old Red
    That’s the problem that he’s getting playing time at all, and batting leadoff, and getting more AB.
  23. Old Red
    I agree, and if he can’t hit LHP what’s the use in having him? The problem is if no outside help is added the alternative is Tapia, and the Butterfly Man.
  24. Old Red
    Relax! Only joking.
  25. Old Red
    Are you saying 2022 was a mirage?
