First, fire Bloom because he hates baseball and sucks and is much stupider than everyone.
He's a charlatan, clearly not capable of doing this job. I've read that here. Also, a terribly not fun team.
Damn, this team is a blast.
Nah. Chaim thought Wong sucked, but wanted to lose as many games as possible. Totally backfired.
I'm sure I just missed it...I remember reading how athletic he is, but I don't remember reading about how great his arm is.
An entire lineup over .700 OPS with five guys over .800 (including 3 over .900) is no joke in today’s game. Pitchers crushed it.
It mostly goes without saying at this point but Turner was a really great pickup. He brings a lot of gravitas to the lineup. Never scared, has a knack for big hits, and puts up good at bats. I know the guy he swapped places with is having a nice season in LA but I feel great about our end of it.
Posted this in the ESPN is Pathetic thread... the caption of the Albies homerun was ""Ozzie Albies blows game open with 3-run HR " To me, blowing the game open is a 3R HR up 4-1 in the 7th, not 0-0 in the middle innings. So, ESPN is pathetic.
I’m just worried he’s going to get burnt out catching every day. But they’ve had some off days and McGuire should be back soon.
Not sure about all this best win stuff. Beat a glorified little league team. Surprised they kept it within 2. Probably only cuz we didn’t get our last ups. Would probably ended like 8 or 9 to 3.
Everything you hear about him is what a natural leader he is in the clubhouse too. I love having Casas around him, just to soak it in.
Casas has the best command of the strike zone at an early age of any Sox hitter since ….. Youk?
He went into the shower and hugged a naked Kike after hearing about the trade. The guy is a great teammate.
Os. Teams that can play you 9 innings against 7 go far in the playoffs.
Astros, Rays. Rangers.
We can beat any team one game. But in a series? They are all better than us. Defense and baserunning matter.
Sorry to be a wet blanket. Maybe Sale can contribute and Story stabilizes, but the Red Sox are not a complete team.
Funny you mention Casas. Earlier in the year we heard about veterans last year being all veteran-y about Casas's "routines."
This year, he's talking about teammates helping him.
I also think Martin is an underrated or underreported clubhouse force.
In a series, with Sale and Story back? The Sox are actually a pretty complete team.
