Fuck ‘em. Go Sox.

Part of me thinks that Aaron Boone pulling Cessa and going with Green/Kriske was his roundabout way of making up for last week's BS (rain delay, Dugie getting plunked by fan, umpire debacle). The other part of me thinks that is just Aaron Boone's management style.  Either way, I'm glad to get a game back on them in the standings.

Anyone want to go to the Yankee thread and check on Helo? 

Fuck them! GO SOX BABY!

I couldn't have predicted that this game would play out this way... The bullpen dominated.

I have this photo on my baseball wall in the office. Tek is the man. 

Fuck the Yankees. What a great win today.

Quite the role reversal in the 8th inning today. There is something about this Sox team… great energy and atmosphere by the home crowd today.

Fun fact: The Red Sox WIN the season series against the Yankees in 2021.

Sox are eyeing August 10th as the return of Chris Sale at Fenway Park vs the Rays

Another day, another clutch come-from-behind win for the Sox. I think that’s 33 on the year. Tops in the majors. Let’s roll.

Chris Cotillo:

“Reports indicate Red Sox have their eyes on some big names (Scherzer, Rizzo, Kimbrel). Knowing how Bloom operates, don't think they'll jump the market and beat the field on those guys with massive offers. Just a guess.

Instead, could wait until price drops Thu/Fri”



Scherzer just seems like too far of a reach, I refuse to bite on that one.

Rizzo would be fun for nostalgic reasons, and would just be a rental with free agency looming (so cheaper), but Carlos Santana is another option floating around.

Obviously he’s past his prime, but gets on base, still has some power, and hits from both sides of the plate. We’ll see. Whole lotta action anticipated before 4pm eastern time on Friday.

I think the Sox should make a play for Eric Hosmer.  The Padres need to dump him and he could be a cheap pickup.  I believe the Pads are expecting to pay most his salary and add a prospect or 2.  Not many teams out there that need a first baseman.  He'd be an improvement over what we have now plus he's a lefty.  I like RIzzo more but Hosmer could be had on the cheap.

 

I refuse to believe Bloom goes after a big name.  Think low cost bargain bin types.

I would like to see Rizzo but Hosmer would be interesting trade. Rizzo is on fire right now. Should we make a play for him and Kimbrel? See which one we can get? 

Eric Hosmer really sucks. There is a reason SD has done everything possible to no longer play him. Trading for shitty players with shitty contracts is horrifically stupid. 

TBH I do not follow the padres enough to keep up with his stats, just sounded good if we can get a bit more productivity at 1B.

Mufuckin’ 7 inning double headers. Everyone KNOWS this team peaks in the 8th/9th.

Let’s start a new streak in a couple hours.


My preference: Rizzo or Santana (Cron a close 3rd). Hosmer’s contract scares me a bit.

Sox just entered the Scherzer sweepstakes?  Oh please let this be true.  Don’t toy with my emotions Red Sox brass.  Sale Scherzer 1, 2 would be devastating come playoff time.

 

Please  make a legitimate attempt to get him.

Good God… trade deadline distraction, much?

Schwarber > Rizzo

Jon Heyman reports that the Red Sox are “heavily pursuing” Jose Berrios.

Not sure they *need* starting pitching, but it sure would be nice.

  • Author

Always have a soft spot for Mikey Chavis, but when you can add two (very average) bullpen arms you do it, right?

Sale can't come back soon enough. Thankfully, Houck looks great.

When’s the trade deadline again? Asking for a friend.

  • Author

Man, I really hope they don’t piss me off four days in a row. Beating the Rays is kinda important.

I am in the same boat. I was in a bad mood last night and have to say it was that game. Bases loaded, 1 out and nothing to show for it. 

 

Fuck Tampa and their shitty stadium.

In news that hits close to home, the Sox today outrighted RHP Brandon Workman off the major league roster. He has elected to become a free agent.

Damn. He got lit the fuck up in his last outing, but had a solid ERA for most of June/July. With the trades (and lukewarm arms) they just gained, I guess there just wasn’t room. Hope I’m wrong, but this is a shitty move.

I was on vacation during the trade deadline.  I was very disappointed to see we didn't go after a starting pitcher.  We desperately needed a starter and a 1B.  Our rotation is terrible right now and Sale coming back can only do so much.

  • Author

Getting swept out of first fucking sucks. 13-12 I July. At least there’s a decent chance at a rebound @ the Tigers (who are better now than last time they played).

Also, this:

Chris Sale expected to make at least one more minor league rehab start. If all goes well, Sale could be back in the Sox rotation by the middle of the month.

Not picking up another SP at the deadline will cost us a playoff spot.

Tanner Houck > Garrett Richards

Richards may have just made his last (sub-par) start for the Sox. Rumor is he’ll be put in the bullpen, and if he doesn’t objects, will be DFA’d.

Houck might take some time to be worked into a full-time (5-6 inning) starter, so might have a strict pitch/inning limit if/when he’s put into the rotation.

Just lost a series to the Tigers. The fucking Detroit Tigers… this very well may be the wheels falling off.

Martin Perez in his last 11 starts: 7.13 ERA
Nick Pivetta in his last 13 starts: 5.43 ERA
Garrett Richards in his last 9 starts: 7.36 ERA

Like I said, not picking up a SP will cost us a playoff spot.  Sale will bump one of those guys but we can't be trotting out 2 of those guys plus this years version of Rodriguez down the stretch and make the playoffs.

Gatdamn fucking shit tits.

I am more pissed about not making any moves than losing a few games. This team can go on a winning streak, but we needed another bat for sure.

Fuck. 2-8 on the road trip. Time for a “players only” meeting.

When it rains, it pours.

Sources confirm Kyle Schwarber has suffered a minor setback with a left groin strain in the midst of his rehab from a right hamstring strain. The setback isn’t expected to significantly delay his timetable for return, but nevertheless is concerning.
