  1. mvp doing his best donkey from family guy..
  2. https://x.com/tylermilliken_/status/2070498084434362474?s=20
  3. 2 thoughts permeate in my head: 1- Breslow is terrible at roster construction and the fact he thought this team would be fine offensively was a massive risk. He wanted to win the value game in Nov-Feb and misjudged the value of bats. SP is easier to obtain than bats ergo he got better “value” with Starting pitching. a serious miscalculation on his part. 2- Cora created a culture of absolute Divas, he allowed Devers to become who he became. The fact that mid 500 ops Story felt the GM needed to talk to him about any roster/organizational moves was comical. It makes me think the culture of clubhouse needs a complete reset. Guys mentally weak like Mayer, Story, Duran, Casas, Devers show the culture.
  4. FWIW i know you said Dbacks wanted both Tolle and Early I heard Milliken yesterday say the Dbacks wanted Mayer & Early in the trade for Marte…. Not both young lefty SP’s. So there’s that. Marte should be on Red Sox.
  5. Good pitching can always be added at trade deadline, good bats are next to never available. I genuinely loathe this team. But roster has zero exciting bats. Such a s***** roster composition. Sad thing is I’m in Boston to take my 2 boys (11,9)to their first rivalry series. Prices were still sky high, Glad to see JH and Co. are still getting top dollar for this trash team.
  6. Down 2…. That’s been the kiss of death to this team…. Hopefully we can break tendency here.
  7. Tell me again how good MM is at short? Blunders a DP costs Red Sox another run.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. If MLB FO’s think he’s a +38 send him immediately.
  11. How do you know exactly what they were willing to take.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Or with Alonso and Contreras protecting them MAYBE they’d be batting .300 with 15 HR’s. We will never know.
  16. Look it up I was very VERY frustrated when Alonso signed with Orioles. Not for bench for 1st and DH.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Agree…. Contreras was good. Offsets the abysmal effort for Schwarber and Alonso. I still think Alonso would have raked in Fenway. And Contreras in record season will probably not match Alonso productivity offensively. That deal aside. 1. missed on Marte. Early/ Mayer most likely would have got deal done. F 2. missed on Bregman would still have Harrison too.
  21. who is these big thumper DH’s you all talk about like they magically aren’t in demand for other teams? Alonso? Contract too long remember schwarber? Too old Eugenio Suarez? Strikes out too much? sub 30 yr old big thumping bats at DH & 3b just start growing on trees??
  22. A lot of holes in that lineup. Without logic to improve it. 1b if he regresses at all will be 35 next year. (You know the age Adames will be when his contract ends) Could be a hole. Could be great 2b ok fine agree SS massive hole (arias is 2028 producer at earliest) still not close to guaranteed 3b unicorn to obtain especially since you hate any deals that could be bad in 6 years (won’t obtain anyone) OF is set barring injuries. DH unicorn to obtain especially since you hate any deals that could be bad in 6 years (won’t obtain) c- Narvaez pathetically avg this lineup F***ing blows can’t wait to be 27-30th in HR’s, runs scored, RBI’s until Arias evidently Justin Gonzalez and all these other guys arrive in 2030. That worked out super well for us last time. Casas, Campbell, Mayer.
  23. Shaw would be a great to elite get for RS. Cubs probably do the deal for Sonny Gray+ Early. 2027 SP- Crochet, Suarez, Tolle, Bennett, Oviedo, Kutter ability to add someone else if injuries happen.
  24. Yes I think he is really good defender as well. Plus there are pitching FA available next year virtually no bats
