I agree 100 percent.
-
There is no doubt in my mind that Hang’em Chaim and his analytics department are more than capable of finding two catchers that offensively out perform this year’s group, but my gut says they bring him back next year.
-
Compared to last year, exceeding 90 wins this year is an incredible accomplishment!
-
I had the Sox finishing the year at 88 wins and they could be there by the end of the night! If Barnes does not throw this game away.
-
That is about what I was expecting. And I know that is what the gun says, but he looks like 90-92! Mets looked like they were digging in against him.
-
How much of his decline in offense is due to overuse? He had a stretch to this season where he played too much and his numbers suffered.
-
As long as they are winning, who cares what color uniforms they wear. Wins make whatever they wear tolerable.
-
Watching sale pitch tonight and I am noticing two things: 1.) the velocity is not what I expected. 2.) right handed hitters are really seeing his ball well and making fairly loud contact.
-
Cassas and Cordero with taters tonight,
-
Not brazier? I can see the opposing hitters smiling right now. Meanwhile the jays and Yankees are ordering playoff tickets.
-
We got pivetta and sale!
-
They definitely know how to identify quality pitchers and develop them. We definitely know how to overdraft stiffs and pray we can make them into relievers.

I see Hang’em Chaim offering Rodriguez a q.o., but I doubt Rodriguez takes it and eventually somebody over pays for him. We get a draft pick. Yes I think Hang’em Chaim signs a four pitchers, but they will be wholly based on analytics. Hang’em Chaim and his guys are looking specifically for pitchers with success the first two times through a line up. And then he wants to get to the point where he can send in the piggy back starter that can get them the third time through the line up. And then he has the game enders. I think his ideal pitching staff would be; 5 starters (sale, pivetta, eovaldi, tbd, tbd) 3 piggy back starters - multiple up to 3 inning relievers.(Houck, Whitlock, Richards) 6 relievers (Barnes, Taylor, Hernandez, sawumura, tbd, tbd)

We got to theme the remainder of this season one game at a time. Got to beat the mets on Tuesday.
-
We got a logjam of second basemen in the system. Downs Cannon Yorke McDonough Koss Plus some others I have missed. Should be interesting to see how hang’em Chaim handles this going forward.
-
Cassas with a tater today!
-
I am hopeful that hang’em Chaim gets us a deeper bullpen next season and few depth guts stashed at triple a.
-
In this scenario we are sacrificing a ton of depth and we are not a deep team.
-
No, Robles is worse than even the most pessimistic person ever would have thought!
-
We have a lot of hard decisions to make as far as the 40 man roster.
-
Marcel Ozuna is the only thing that can save me as a fan

I really don’t see hang’em Chaim making a huge splash this offseason either. The dude shops for Kia’s and not Bugatti’s! -
Nomar Mazara would make Fenway look like T ball

Does he have covid? -
Exactly! Control what you can control. Hope is never a good strategy!
-
I am not sure story is a defensive upgrade over bogey. If Correa was not hurt every other week, I could see him being a worthy signing.
-
Are we over reacting? Schwarber at first was always a round peg in a square hole.
