  1. Now the Kut Man scratched from his start today.
  2. So you think that translates into something good next year. Take out the bad bad west who might not be as bad next year like Seattle who is a lot better now than when the Sox played them, and that 48-32 doesn’t look so good. The Red Sox should be a vastly different looking team next year, and could be better, which I’m not so sure that Bloom can put Humpty Dumpty back together again, or they could be even worse, so that 48-32 is pretty much irrelevant into what happens next year.
  3. It has been a total snakebite, but I think it would be foolish to go into next season without an established closer to anchor the BP. I don’t believe that person is on the current roster either. I don’t think Houck is good, or consistent enough, and you can’t count on Schreiber to come back next year, and pitch like this year. Whitlock has been jerked around this year, but while he has been good for the most part he hasn’t been as lockdown as last year. Getting a established closer, and using the others in a SETUP role to me would be the best way to go.
  4. That’s being pretty optimistic. I’m not impressed with the QB, and wasn’t last year, or the Oline. I’ve been following ND for over 60 years, and this is far from one of their better teams.
  5. The L column is the most important tell when reading standings to me. You can’t make up a loss. I don’t think being in the top half of the league is any kind of accomplishment especially when the Red Sox have a losing record.
  6. Well another win, but the only thing the Red Sox are getting closer to is 500. 2 games from 500 7 games back of the winning O’s in the L column to get out of last place 9 games back in the L column for the last Wild Card spot. The biggest question left with plenty of Div games to go is if the Red Sox can get to 500, or not.18-36 in the Div pretty much says it all.
  7. When is Stanton coming back? Yes I know he’s been playing.
  8. Bobby D is going to Worcester.
  9. Wrong again! He got knocked around in two innings against Minnesota. Analytics, and eye test confirmed. 4 hits, and 3 runs in 2 innings. Shouldn’t have been so quick to say I gotcha.
  10. Max is a little backwards sometimes. He sees things that aren’t there, and doesn’t see things that are there. It’s a gift, and a curse.
  11. Hanging tuff early, but not much of a offense. Long season for a first year coach with a tough schedule. Kelly got out just in time.
  12. Wow Whitlock pitched 1 excellent inning, but gave up 2 HR in his other inning. That’s a bad outing to me.
  13. Nothing wrong with starting Bello, but the set up man Whitlock has sucked his last two times out. Barnes has also tried to give two games away trying to close lately.
  14. Whitlock, and Barnes tried to give the game away.
  15. I was talking at the time about getting MAJOR LEAGUE talent back, and not prospects., so NO I wasn’t talking about getting a HOF back in a trade. Pedro was not exactly on his way to the HOF until he pitched for the Red Sox, so no just get Major League players back in trades.
  16. Well the Sox have won a few, but aren’t moving up anywhere, but are getting closer too 500. 3 games from 500 7 games in the L column from last place in the Div. 9 games in the L column from last Wild Card spot.
  17. Like last night?
  18. Agree on the OF, but I don’t see Cora sitting JD, and Arroyo’s bat has to stay in the lineup somewhere.
  19. Pham has hit well, but Dugo needs to go back to LF next year. As long as Mookie stays healthy Mookie will stay great.
  20. I don’t think Story was the guy all along, and my opinion all along has been that Story was signed to appease the fans, because of all the flack JH was hearing, because the Sox wasn’t spending. I don’t believe Boston was Story’s first choice of employment either.
  21. I was all for bringing ERod back at the time, and that would have been a big miss also.
  22. That’s a good part of it, but his play of late in the field, and on the bases has left something to be desired also.
  23. Cora thinks these are like spring training games, and he has to play everyone. He doesn’t. Arroyo should be playing, or hitting somewhere as long as his bat is hot.
  24. All I can say is that quantity does not equal quality.
  25. The biggest thing I was trying to figure out last night was who was the so called relief Ace?
