Maybe he swaps places with Kutter? Their 40-man issues makes it difficult to use a phantom DL stint. Can’t imagine they’d want to DFA a free agent signing a month into the season.How much longer is his leash? He’s old and has shown absolutely nothing. I know it’s still April but he can’t find the zone with any sort of consistency and when he has to go after guys because he keeps falling behind, he gets smoked.
LOLAt least this experiment could be nearing its end, let me check how Paxton is doing toni... Oh...
What would Belichick do?Maybe he swaps places with Kutter? Their 40-man issues makes it difficult to use a phantom DL stint. Can’t imagine they’d want to DFA a free agent signing a month into the season.
I don’t disagree but Hill has been awful too. 7 homers in 21 inningsStating the obvious, but some of Bloom’s mlb roster decisions are hard to defend.
Why not just bring back Rich Hill who loves being a Red Sox, is still moderately effective and may be a good mentor to younger guys on the staff?!

Option C: none of the above.I don’t disagree but Hill has been awful too. 7 homers in 21 innings
Unfortunately roster size is finiteNever such a thing as too many SPs on the roster.
What would Belichick do?Just love Tapia hitting second. Great.
If you gave him more $ than 28 other teams? Just fineWhat would Belichick do?
Why are other teams allowed to have competent SS?Oof. Nice play by Correa.
To be fair, he tried to play for three teams this year.Why are other teams allowed to have competent SS?
Currently?How many Sox pitchers have lost their first four starts with the team?
I'd take Nate any day over Kluber regardless of how he has started. And Kluber is now at 9.18 ERA.Eovaldi 5.40 ERA
Wacha 6.06 ERA
Hill 5.57 ERA
Kluber's having a rough start, no question. But I'm not sure any of those guys would really have been the right answer.
edit: Although Eovaldi's FIP is good, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After a slow start, Marcelo Mayer is 7 for his last 14.Why are other teams allowed to have competent SS?
I hope you didn't understand me to be saying that Kluber was the right answer.I'd take Nate any day over Kluber regardless of how he has started. And Kluber is now at 9.18 ERA.
He was very very good just 6 years agoI'm absolutely getting "Smoltz for the Sox in 2009" vibes from Kluber here, except that Kluber was never anywhere close to as good as Smoltz.
Of the two, Kluber has the two best seasons by bWAR.I'm absolutely getting "Smoltz for the Sox in 2009" vibes from Kluber here, except that Kluber was never anywhere close to as good as Smoltz.
Yes, between what you and @Ale Xander have mentioned, I will have to pull it back a little bit.Of the two, Kluber has the two best seasons by bWAR.
This is what I was thinking too. Poor dude looked super dejected afterwards though.Nice to see Casas drive a baseball, even if it was an out.
I would have thought the warning would be not to say anything to the ump that can be used against him.Miranda gets a warning not to crowd the plate.
