5/21 Bloom's Gambit

Is game day not updating for anyone else? ESPN, bleacher report, and mlb app all stuck on Yoshida battint
Carpenter didn't even look good on that at-bat -- Kluber just can't find the plate with sub-90 MPH junk.
Why does it suck? He will still get paid, and can find another team if there’s interest. It happens.
I feel bad for guys that used to be horses. I don't know. It is definitely dumb emotional decision-making.
Plus the guy lives in Belmont or something... wanted it to work out.
What has to happen for this guy to lose his spot on the roster? Does he have to take a dump on the hood of Bloom's car?
He’s supposedly a wonderful influence in the clubhouse! (why every team has had enough of him after one year, I’m not sure)
Correction to OP: Eovaldi vs Kluber.
Kluber lost all his control I guess this offseason so this stuff won't cut it anymore. But maybe he sneaks through 5 innings again.

Its not over but its not great -- red sox average 5 and half runs per game in terms of scoring -- even behind its hard to count out this offense
I was thinking the same thing -- hard to say whether the QO is ultimately worth it -- but in hindsight, Eovaldi probably makes us a solid competitor in 2023/24.
EDIT: That being said, hard to predict Sale/Paxton's re-emergence, and Bello's emergence, which underscores the short-term vs. long-term thinking.
Its less Kluber vs. name-a-pitcher and more Justin Masterson redux -- throwing 10 million away at a clearly over-the-hill pitcher (when looking at peripherals) is just not worth it.
