    June MLB game thread

    Oh, okay. It's "unacceptable" to be snarky in response to multiple posts of misguided opinions trying to parse a trade into something it wasn't, got it. I'm sure that'll be evenly enforced across all boards to all posters, right? PM me if you'd care to discuss it further, Board God.

    June MLB game thread

    If I could touch 100 throwing once as fucking hard as I possibly could with zero pitching experience and an injury, would you try to play me off as a realistic loss for the system? Probably not, but hey, let's go with the personal insults. Maybe actually try not to spin things in a completely...

    No matter what way you want to try to spin it, unless he turns into the next Randy Johnson, Logan Allen is not a loss when it comes to that trade. Even if he does, I'd still take the title. Margot sucks and Guerra is nothing. You don't have to write four paragraphs about it.

    "Aware of who he is" and "on the radar" are two very different things.

    Holy fucking overreaction. They gave up 3 nobodies and a maybe (and that's with the benefit of hindsight) for one of the best closers of all time, and ended up with a WS win afterward. You're really going to cry about Logan freaking Allen? He isn't "just what the Sox need right now" because he...

    Building a Bullpen, 2019 edition

    When you factor in that the guys at the end of the pen dragging down the overall numbers (Brewer, Smith, Thornburg, Taylor, etc) won't see a postseason roster, it makes the squad even better by comparison. This team may not be the 2018 squad, but I guarantee nobody is looking forward to seeing...

    Where the Red Sox have gone wrong

    EE is bad defensively (Moreland and Pearce are not,) unnecessary for us, and would strain the payroll even more. Let the Yankees stack high-K power hitters, that won't win them a championship unless they trade one of said bats for more pitching. Furthermore, relievers will dictate the reliever...

    Rafael Devers, JD Martinez and the future at the corners

    They'll find money for Mookie, just depends how much. '17 and '19 Mookie will get big bucks, but not quite the bucks '18 Mookie would. Which do the Sox think is the real guy, and will it affect their offer? Those are the real questions right now. I don't think '18 Mookie is a realistic...

    Who had the better career....?

    Easily Schilling. The real debate is 2, 3, and 4.

    MIA JBJ

    And Will Middlebrooks. But there's absolutely no evidence that's the issue with JBJ. He's just notoriously streaky, we've got a pretty good sample size showing us so, and I'd bet hard his comment on "seeing" the ball had nothing to do with actual vision.

    Where the Red Sox have gone wrong

    Looks an awful lot like the same field they were playing on last season, and they managed to get by just fine. Play-in game? Big fucking deal. This is MLB not the NBA, the team in first doesn't always win. In fact, they usually don't.

    Pearce to IL, Travis recalled

    Maybe not the day he hits the IL with a back strain?

    Building a Bullpen, 2019 edition

    And the postseason is a completely different animal in which our starters (IE: your best pitchers) were taking majority of the load. Hembree's ERA+ is significantly better this year than last (161 to 105,) his WHIP is about .5 better, his H/9 is down .8, hr HR/9 is essentially the same (a tenth...

    Yes, when the unit has been consistently good, the proper course of action is to do nothing. Glad you finally understand.

    Building a Bullpen, 2019 edition

    It's because your entire overly-wordy posts are ridiculous. There is no reason to expect the worst-case scenario that the entire bullpen is going to collapse upon itself like a fucking neutron star. Yes, I am comfortable with the bullpen given they're the unit that has 1. been consistently good...
