Down 2…. That’s been the kiss of death to this team…. Hopefully we can break tendency here.

Tell me again how good MM is at short? Blunders a DP costs Red Sox another run.

Lol that would be funny if someone from org actually followed along here. Highly doubt it. I do know of college football coaches who had people monitor the 24/7 site for their team religiously. So never say never.

I mean it depends on who he gets in return. If he got a proven bat, then you’d hear no such things from me. But if it’s Durbin for Harrison, or Dustin May for James Tibbs. Then yes I might still b*tch about Breslow.

If MLB FO’s think he’s a +38 send him immediately.

Wong blows another win

How do you know exactly what they were willing to take.

Brother I have news for you, It’s all hypothetical: everything on here is hypothetical. whether it’s moves RS should have made, or ones they shouldn’t have made. Youre applying it while looking at Alex Bregman stats in Chicago and saying see “good glad we didn’t sign him.”Or looking at Adames metrics and saying “he won’t be a good signing.” All of this is applying the hypothetical that their stats would be the same in Boston as they are in Chicago or SF. And the reality is will never know. What we do know is this team came in with a clear message, that we were in a window to fight for a championship. Yet halfway through June RS are 12 games below .500. The only reality is this is the worst RS team in relation to expectations in my lifetime. You’re right that I think it gets murky on whether RS would have traded for WC40 if they had signed Alonso. But the argument could be made Alonso vs Duran is a more relevant argument at DH. Hindsight I certainly wish we traded Duran and signed Alonso.

Doesn’t surprise me, I’m not sure in the splits where I could quantify this but I’d imagine the Padres win more games 4- 3 or 3-2 than the Red Sox. It seems like we lose a lot of close ones, and until it feels like the pressure is off we can’t hit, then trailing 4-0 going into the ninth inning we score 2 runs to lose 2-4 or if we win it’s 6-1 or more.

They could have traded him for WAY more than we are gonna get at trade deadline for him. Maybe Harrison would be killing it here as well. All we actually know is this Sh** lineup isn’t working and many around here aren’t shocked.

Or with Alonso and Contreras protecting them MAYBE they’d be batting .300 with 15 HR’s. We will never know.

Look it up I was very VERY frustrated when Alonso signed with Orioles. Not for bench for 1st and DH.

The reality is that Bregman/ Marte/ Alonso results would not be identical to their current results on different teams. And there is actually no way to delineate their #’s on different teams, as to what they would have done/what impact they would have made on younger hitters. IF they were in Boston Uniforms this year. All we can see is the reality of what THIS lineup has become, and the composition looks like an absolute nightmare. And MANY were worried about the lack of firepower in February.

There were many MANY on here, and podcasters and pundits, who were questioning the offensive composition in Dec- February. Yes he’s paid to look around corners. This lineup this year has been hardest thing for me to watch in 25+ years of following the team closely.

Ok not sure I’m following. Red Sox have 34 year old Contreras having career year, and yet we are tied for dead last in home runs, 29th and RBIs 29th and runs scored. So WHO are the big bat dH’s we could get? Red Sox farm System is definitely not as highly rated as we all thought it was. The players we do have can’t hit so nobody wants them. And there aren’t any free agent bats that fit this model. So I repeat WHO could Red Sox acquire that is a thumper? One of the worst things Breslow did was not understand the true value of this market last free agency. The reason all the bats got so much money is cause there was nothing coming in the pipeline 2027 free agents look awful. Red Sox fear of having a bad contract in 2032 sincerely, effed our lineup in 26-27.
