    4/12 A-Holes In The Infield.....

    If Breslow doesn't have a major league defensive SS on the roster by Monday, he should be fired. I can't do two years of this. It's not going to get better. Just get Jose Iglesias or whatever it takes.

    Rafael Devers: post extension performance

    I’ve said it time and time again but I think it’s really unfortunate that Bloom was effectively forced to give Devers, a long term DH, that contract, in fact I think its fairly obvious he didn’t intend to give him that contract with the Yoshida deal, a clear long term DH. If he was going to give...

    Cora, Cora, Cora!

    The one thing I was going to note is that you have to wonder a little bit if MLB is going to have to take a look at expanding the roster for more pitchers throughout the season. While the quick yank is theoretically an organizational philosophy, it also seems pretty evident that pitchers cannot...

    8/22/2023 Against the Astros of Houston

    I said it last week but I can’t imagine it was Bloom pushing to give Raffy that contract given the likelihood that he was a full time DH. I’d be willing to give him another year given he’d made some strides, but yikes. I think what Bloom could not have accounted for is how absolutely dreadful...

    8/20 Beat the MFY

    From a roster move perspective, between Turner's injuries and Casas' tooth, with Duran seemingly pulling up lame, do we go with Dalbec here since he's on the 40? Do the Sox give Wilyer Abreu a call instead given he's been red hot if Duran has to sit? My assumption is they'd go with Dalbec since...

    8/20 Beat the MFY

    Most stressful game I've watched in awhile; keep it going boys. Cincinatti and Houston were of no help, so let's make Houston pay.

    8/20 Beat the MFY

    At best I thought that overturn was a case of the call on the field stands, and at worse I thought he was conclusively safe. Stunner of an overturn there.

    8/13 vs. Tigers

    I saw a potentially ill-timed and not terribly popular thread on Kutter Crawford -- while I don't agree with the premise [i.e., longer leash] I actually lean the opposite -- if Houck comes back is it time to put Crawford back in a 2-3 inning piggyback role like Whitlock will seemingly serve? I...

    What does the Red Sox 40-Man Roster look like in 2024?

    I think it's very likely that Alex Verdugo is traded and some money goes toward replacing him. It's also not clear to me if Justin Turner is going to opt out -- I doubt he's likely to make significantly more than his contract calls for. It seems like the Red Sox will either need to commit to...

    8/5 vs Toronto

    Wouldn't you call that a team with an overly weak and fragile mental state? You're obfuscating away the responsibility of the manager to continue to do his job and not sulk away the post deadline week or two.

    8/5 vs Toronto

    Paxton had significantly more value than those players -- but the Red Sox best position [and easiest] with Paxton was to hold and offer a qualifying offer. If he accepts, we get him back on a reasonable low-risk commitment; if he declines, which is probably unlikely, we'll get draft pick...

    8/5 vs Toronto

    You're misrepresenting what actually happened at the deadline. The Orioles got Jack Flaherty for two guys that neither the Red Sox nor the Orioles would protect in the offseason -- they're barely prospects. Lorenzen went to Philadelphia for the equivalent of a Bonaci/Paulino type. Devin Mann...

    8/5 vs Toronto

    This has just been a really frustrating season all around, and the only situation seems awfully predictable. 1. Chaim doesn't get to choose his manager, and by year 3 of this relationship, there is a massive disconnect in a lot of phases. 2. The fundamentals on this team are absolutely...

    8/5 vs Toronto

    Player's manager for everyone but Verdugo :).

    8/5 vs Toronto

    Does this team seem like a bunch of abnormally noticable morons? Yes. Is it the coach's job to make sure his team is ready to play? Also yes. I mean, just in the last month, the triple play, Arroyo getting doubled off, Verdugo last night, this -- this just doesn't happen to major league...
