    Like I said earlier that playing in the postseason is uncharted waters for most of these Red Sox players, and anything can happen. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Red Sox get swept, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Red Sox do the sweeping. At any rate I’m glad it’s against the Yankees, but wished it would have been in a frenzied Fenway Park.

    I’m just guessing here, but I don’t think the Red Sox are as high on Casas as they were a couple of years ago when they offered him that extension. Both Casas, and Mayer have to prove they can stay on the field more than prove what they can do on the field. I hope Casas has been keeping sharp with those mental swings like he did last year.
  3. Old Red
    Casas like Mayer has lost a lot of developmental time the last few years, because of injuries, and has got to prove himself again before the Red Sox can count on him going forward.
  4. Old Red
    I hope the injury won’t take any of his foot speed away from him, or his nimbleness at 1B.
  5. Old Red
    Bad for Casas he didn’t take that extension the Red Sox offered him, and good for the Red Sox as it stands now.

    Hitting, and flaws. This is a very flawed series by two very flawed teams as the AL is this year. Whichever teams flaws that are kept in check the most will probably win the series.

    Looks like DE Leon gets the start.
  8. Old Red
    Sounds good to me.
  9. Old Red
    Agree.

    I get that point, but you could get it fairly close to what it is now. Other wise you are always going to have some divisions tougher than other divisions, and the seedlings will come out as you stated today. Nothing was like 1967 with 4 teams were fighting for 1 spot, and it came down to the very last game for the Red Sox to find out they were going to the WS.

    I’ve always looked at it if something is riding on with the team you are playing just like if it was the other way around for the Red Sox.
  12. Old Red
    As long as teams play the same schedule I’ve always been for doing away with divisions completely, and go by records to rank them, but having divisions like in all sports you frequently get division winners with a worse record than 2nd, or 3rd place teams in another division.

    👍👍👍.

    ND looked like they were playing offense against a pickup team in their backyard today. It was that easy.

    I said in the beginning that I never would have hired Cora back, and I still feel the same way. I also think Cora is way overrated as a manager, because of 2018. Having said that I think Cora is a good manager, but the Red Sox didn’t make the postseason this year, because of him, nor did the Red Sox miss the postseason the last three years, because of him.

    I know we did, but I was talking about the crack Boston press.

    After not playing in the last three postseason just getting in the Red Sox should be willing to play everybody, and anybody. The AL is so flawed this year that anyone who gets in has a chance to win. This is uncharted waters for most of the Red Sox players so getting swept in the first round, or sweeping the first round wouldn’t surprise me at all, so bring anyone on especially the Yankees.

    Never heard why Masa was capable to DH in ST, but didn’t DH in Woo, or anywhere else for such a long time. I don’t recall anyone asking either
  19. Old Red
    Y A N K E E S! All day. Every day.
  20. Old Red
    #2 was the puzzling part since he was able to DH in ST, and then didn’t get an AB in a real game for a long time.
  21. Old Red
    I am not a NOshida/GOshida guy, and never have been, but having said that for a guy who DH’d in ST, and could have DH’d for the Red Sox since opening day instead Masa was shipped off to parts unknown, and didn’t even play for a long time due to the roster construction it’s good to see him produce, and help the Red Sox.
  22. Old Red
    ALL teams are so flawed especially in the AL that the postseason is completely open, and anyone in can win. Yankees/Red Sox in Yankee stadium in October should be a must watch TV for everyone, and let the chips fall where they may. Red Sox against anyone else just isn’t the same.
  23. Old Red
    GOshida!

    Mayer has lost valuable developmental time the last few years, and this year lost a golden opportunity to show what he can do due to injuries. Troubling sign of being injury prone at a young age. Agee on other teams having interest if Mayer was available.
  25. Old Red
    Brez will get judged on everything, and ultimately the final results. Brez has been more aggressive like trading Sale, and Raffy that I don’t believe Bloom would have done, but he’s followed Bloom’s roadmap at the trade deadline.
