Would it change your mind if it wasn't the first out of the inning?
-
Many fans think a smart play is when the runner is successful, and a dumb play when they are not. In the play I earlier referenced, the runner tagged to go to 3rd where he could score on an out. That was the smart play. It didn't become stupid just because his slide pulled him off the base. And had he not tagged up, the same people that criticized for tagging up, would have criticized him for not being aggressive enough.
-
Seriously??? great base running I interpreted that as you didn't like the aggressive, but correct, move to tag and go to 3rd.
-
He beat the throw but slid off the base. That's smart baserunning, but a sloppy slide.
-
Tatis was busted for PEDs. Had nothing to do with the press. Henderson has the 3rd highest bWAR among SS's over the past three years, and the #7 overall highest fWAR. Were you trying to be sarcastic?
-
Teddy and Also seem to disagree.
-
24 hours ago, Monasterio had a .544 OPS and fans wanted him replaced by Cheng, et al. I believe someone suggested we play with only 25 guys on the roster. If he gets one more hit, fans will want him to bat cleanup. And if he strikes out twice in the game, they will want him back in the minors.

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I
JoeBrady replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
That reminds me of the olde days, when the 'you know who's' would blame Tito for 'not making things happen'. Like making a bad move, just for the sake of making a move, ever winds up as a positive. -
I think I agree. It kind of ruins the game a little if you bring in a position player every time you are down 10 runs. Theoretically, we could have Monasterio throw 3 innings, and instead of losing 10-0, we could lose 30-0.

I'm not a fan of the sacrifice, but if you don't sac the #9 hitter, with a guy on 1st, -0- outs, and a 0-0 game, then you will never sacrifice.
-
Because Mayer is a platoon player, and the players that he platoons with are better at 2nd.

I think there is hope for any of our bats to turn it around. Gut of the top infield FAs, which contract would you want: Bichette -0.3 bWAR .581 OPS Bregman 0.6 with a .736 Alonso 0.4 with a .685 Suarez -0.1 with a .663 These guys wouldn't move the needle compared to how poorly our own guys have done. -

My point being is that it is not the outsiders who have made the negative difference. If Narvaez, Story, Duran and Anthony were hitting like they should, no one would even notice Durbin. The same with Crochet and Bello. -
If SF could take it back, I'm fairly sure they would. Devers is notoriously streaky, but in his last 19 games, he has an awful, awful 28/2 K/W with 1 HR. 2nd worse fWAR right now, out of 182 qualified.
-
If you are referring to IKF, it was a great bunt. Alonso made an excellent play to get the lead runner, or it would be 1st & 2nd with -0- outs.
-
Devers was almost always going to look good for a couple of years. But he's only had 1.0 bWAR in 2/3 of a season.
-
Meidroth has a 0.0 bWAR this year, and Monty is in AA.
-
He started Hamilton as a platoon with Romy. That made perfect sense.
-
Bello was #53 in fWAR for SPs from 2023-2025.
-
That was the only good move by Bobby Valentine. He allowed Lester to be embarrassed by TO. He pitched much better after that.
-
With Anthony out, it is the correct lineup.
-
I told a lot of folks not to give up on Hammy. He is a high-end utility. Compare Hammy and Ceddanne on a per AB basis in 2024-25, and they are very similar players. Ceddanne with the better glove and Hammy with the great speed.
-
Having Bregman instead of Suarez adds 0.2 bWAR. I doubt Mayer + Bello gets you Marte. And Marte's 0.4 doesn't make a huge difference. Arias had 46 weak AA ABs before this season. There is no way we were going to replace Story with a guy barely out of A+. H&H are okay backup guys, but haven't done anything special with Mil.
-
I like the lineup tonight.
-
The .596 OPS isn't as MVP-ish as it seems. But he did a good job for us, so no reason to not expect a certain level of play. He had a 3.2 bWAR/162 games over the past two years.
