Last nights game reminded me of one thing…… according to Fangraphs the Red Sox Roster was paid 199m this year……..12th most in MLB, The Yankees and Steinbrenners roster was paid 310m or 155% of what the Red Sox roster got paid. it was brutally obvious all these years of playing bullsh** mental games has landed us in a spot where Fenway hasn’t seen a single October baseball game since 2021. The mental games of this bum owner has led us to where we eventually trade Devers, not resign Bregman, not resign Kyle Schwarbers, extend minor leaguers waaaay too early like Kristian Campbell and Roman Anthony. It is time for ownership to look themselves in the mirror, and realize the revenue of this baseball organization comes from passionate people spending their hard earned dollars and they deserve sooooo much more than a payroll to players 12th highest in MLB. Rank Team 2026 Payroll vs. Boston 1 Dodgers (LAD) $410M +$211M 2 Mets (NYM) $358M +$159M 3 Yankees (NYY) $310M +$111M 4 Phillies (PHI) $290M +$91M 5 Blue Jays (TOR) $284M +$85M 6 Braves (ATL) $258M +$59M 7 Cubs (CHC) $250M +$51M 8 Astros (HOU) $240M +$41M 9 Padres (SDP) $217M +$18M 10 Tigers (DET) $205M +$6M 11 Diamondbacks (ARI) $202M +$3M

Mead without prep…… Can’t be worse than Mona the last month.

I think he would benefit from a smaller market, where he wouldn’t be under microscope. Like the KC Royals, AZ DBacks, Pirates or Reds.

Sogard is our 2b in postseason….. Monasterio on the other hand. What incriminating photos does he have on Tracy??

Monasterio…… HOW is he still playing vs Romy Gonzalez?

what are your thoughts on lineup vs NYY? game 1: vs Schlittler Starter: Tolle RH Reliever available: Bello, Weissert, Olds, Whitlock LH Reliever available: Bennett, Miller, Crochet, Chapman 1.

Easy to add quality starter at trade deadline if pitching is limping along in June/ July. I agree with Breslow moves to get hitting with control.. I have a feeling Early might have similar trajectory to Harrison not to say they won’t be solid/ good. I just don’t think they have TOTR stuff.

Mead?

Back to 4 runs feeling too daunting to overcome.

Have we scored a run in the first four innings of a game in like a month?

Story good effort

Doesn’t feel like he is seeing ball well both he and Durbin. Swinging at balls way out of zone. Some tough AB’s lately

I can’t remember the last time Durbin hit a ball hard. I think this weekend was a lost opportunity.. Why the hell didn’t they bring somebody up this weekend? This lineup is not hitting well… Duran struggling….. monasterio struggling……Durbin is struggling…... Contreras is struggling……..we need a spark in the lineup. im good to send Mona down or Seigler…..See if story gets hot almost immediately. If not DFA him and bring up Arias. Roman needs to be here now.

Roman?
