    Would Devers, or Bregman get more RBI opportunities batting 4th, or 5th? I don’t think it really matters what actual position they occupy in the batting order unless you have runners being on base ahead of you. Batting 2nd, and third May get you an extra AB in any one game.
  2. Old Red
    I would leave Devers, and Bregman right where they are in the batting order, because both are not only getting the RBI opportunities where they are, but they are both driving them in. One big problem is whomever has batted 4th has pretty much sucked, and now KC, Story are just black holes wherever they are hitting.

    It was hard to judge Houck who went back, and forth between Sarting, closing, and BP, and also had a couple of injuries along the way. Last year, he stayed healthy, stayed in the rotation, and piled up his most innings.
  4. Old Red
    It took him 32 pitches to get through an inning the other night to, so his control hasn’t been all that great either.
  5. Old Red
    Bello, and Houck have really put a damper on things. Whit too.
  6. Old Red
    You don’t hear as much about Bailey’s effect on the pitching staff this year. On paper this team should be better even with injuries to the rotation, but it’s that situational stuff that gets you every time.

    Different day, and a different angle to the story. At least Raffy doesn’t seem bothered by the turmoil, and is pounding the ball around.
  8. Old Red
    Interesting,but there seem to be some front office talk from Cora a couple of years ago when he was telling reporters he was going to safe when Bloom was getting the boot.
  9. Old Red
    Huh? Brez I believe wants Raffy at 1B, and I believe Cora does not, and that’s why Cora said he wasn’t going to talk with Raffy about it. Also IMO JH just didn’t fly to KC to talk with Raffy, but Cora, and Brez as well. At the moment i haven’t heard of any movement of Raffy towards 1B except after he’s hit the ball.
  10. Old Red
    Most likely will outlast Brez too, and may even take Brez’s job, or be his boss.

    I mentioned trading him this past offseason when his value was high coming off last season, but it wasn’t received to well on here.
  12. Old Red
    You can look at it anyway you want, but IMO Cora sees things a lot differently than you, and most others do regarding the Raffy situation, and at the moment it looks like his say courtesy of JH.

    A year ago at this time the Red Sox were 23-24, and 9 games back of both the Yankees, and O’s. This year not only is the A.L. East the weakest it’s been in years, but the whole American League itself, so where the Red Sox reside in the standings this year with their losing record doesn’t look as bad. Boston hasn’t gotten better, but the division, and league has come back down to them. What a low bar this is that the Red Sox can’t get over.

    Good post as always Max, and I agree with you on Raffy. He’s been pretty much chastised on here, and I’ve been one of the few on his side, and I’m not even a Devers Forevers guy.
  15. Old Red
    That’s an easy one. I haven’t sat in on any closed door meetings lately, but I did hear an interview with with Cora when Cora was asked if he had talked with Raffy about moving to 1B, and Cora said NO. Cora was then asked if he intended to talk with Raffy about moving to 1B, and again Cora answered NO. This is pretty well known, and has been talked about more than once on here. In other words it’s not only news, but old news. 🤭

    Another bench day for KC who’s been really struggling, and DHam has started to hit a little bit, so good move.
  17. Old Red
    Ok I’ll agree with you on the points you are making, but those things just don’t matter that much to me. Rico was a good enough SS to me as was the Rooster.
  18. Old Red
    Yes we agree that Both Story, and Bregman were coming to new teams who already had established players at the positions they normally play, and the same with ARod.
  19. Old Red
    I don’t know why you are so consumed with Jeter, but to each its own. I could really care less what kind of range Jeter had. So you are agreeing that someone is watching every play of every game somewhere.
  20. Old Red
    I look at box scores everyday even if I watch a game, or not.
  21. Old Red
    Yes, but this is the 4th year in a row the club has played like this.
  22. Old Red
    Beltre was pretty good in his one year here, and Lowell was pretty good too.
  23. Old Red
    That would be kind of hard to define would it not? Everyone sees things differently. and doesn’t even look for the same things in the first place. Just like stats.
  24. Old Red
    Isn’t someone somewhere watching every play of every game? Where would any stats come from if they didn’t?
  25. Old Red
    Wins is not all I judge a GM on, but W-L are what’s most important. Getting into the postseason is what’s most important. Brez was pretty proud of himself at the trade deadline last year on the moves he made last year, but it actually made the team worse. I don’t care what the team looks like beyond this year at the moment just like I didn’t care what the team looked like down the road in 2022, 2023, and 2024 when the Red Sox didn’t make the postseason let alone be a winning ball club. I’m not as big a fan of Cora as a manager as most of on here, and I certainly don’t have any kind of excitement of the thought of Cora moving upstairs.
