    I agree, and like I said before Judge, and Stanton are pounding the ball now compared to the last time they were in Boston, which has made a big difference.
  2. Old Red
    All the bigger guys look like Fred Flintstone in those yellow Jersey.
  3. Old Red
    Like Cole not having 2 bad games in a row I don’t think Eo would either, so Eo over Sale against the Yankees.

    I’m just not a Schwaber fan, and I blame the front office for that. At the trading deadline Boddy D was sucking, and the Sox needed a 1B, and Rizzo was available, but they were to slow, and the Yankees jumped in. Rizzo is a good 1B, and was healthy unlike Schwaber who was hurt, and couldn’t play for a few weeks. In the meantime the Sox took a big nosedive.
  5. Old Red
    I could care less about Schwaber’s OBP with lots of walks. Until he hit 2 HR the other night against a pitcher he hits well he hadn’t hit a homer in about 3 weeks, and was 6-31 in his last ten.
  6. Old Red
    Schwaber is not a 1B, and shouldn’t try to masquerade as one.
  7. Old Red
    Where’s Mother Nature when you need her?
  8. Old Red
    Bobby D should not be benched for this guy.
  9. Old Red
    He sucks. . Schwaber is not a 1B, and should NEVER play there.
  10. Old Red
    I can’t stand this guy coming in. He can’t throw strikes, and likes to dig up the dirt.
  11. Old Red
    Sale has been babied since he has come back, and can’t get passed 5 anyways.
  12. Old Red
    Stanton, and Judge are a lot different hitters than the last time in Boston.
  13. Old Red
    Great pick up by Rizzo, who the Sox should have gotten.
  14. Old Red
    Cole got racked his last game, so I don’t see that happening 2 games in a row.
  15. Old Red
    I don’t like Schwaber at 1B.
  16. Old Red
    Hope the weather won’t be a big bugaboo this weekend.
  17. Old Red
    If at 3B where is Raffy?
  18. Old Red
    Speaking of Betts does the trade look worse this year than it did a year ago at this time? Verdugo hasn’t had the year he had last year, and Downs only hit about 170 in the minors.
  19. Old Red
    JD is a pro, but I guess he’s got more criticism this year, because his numbers even though he will get 100 rbi aren’t quite as good as previous years, and not counting 2020. I hope he does get hot in the playoffs.
  20. Old Red
    Agree 100%. I know I’m in the minority, but I would not give out a 300M contract to anybody. The Dodgers won last year, but I think they still would have won without Mookie, and Mookie certainly has not earned his big contract this year, and yes he has been injured, but will break down even more as he gets older.
  21. Old Red
    They go up pretty fast in arbitration, and he may get 20M, or lose to after this year.
  22. Old Red
    You want to pay Bogey more money, and add 2 more years until He’s 36? I don’t think the Sox will do that, and no more opt outs in contracts, and no Devers would not take 6/120, because he would make more through arbitration.
  23. Old Red
    Players are only worth as much as teams are willing to pay, so I don’t begrudge anyone for asking for more money. Mookie just didn’t leave, because he wanted more money.
  24. Old Red
    I’m big on ss defense too, but the Sox haven’t been real flashy at that position through the years. Bressoud, Rico, Burrelson, Hoffman, Nomar, and Johnny V come to mind. Iggy may have been the flashiest if only for a short time. I’m not against trading Bogey if he wants out, but then he has to be replaced, and like you said he has great presence on the team that would be hard to replace too.
  25. Old Red
    Bogey is signed through 2026 at 20 million per, but can opt out after next year. He wanted to stay in Boston, or he wouldn’t have signed that team friendly contract. Why teams put in that opt out clause is beyond me, and you wouldn’t have to go through this like they have with JD. If Bogey wants more money to stay I’m not sure the Sox will be willing to do that. Devers is another case, and the longer you wait the more expensive it will get. I don’t like 300 million long term contracts. I wouldn’t have done it with Betts, or anybody else they don’t work out, and I don’t care who they are. Trout, Stanton, Cole, or Harper, or anybody.
