Red Sox/MLB 2022 REGULAR SEASON II - THE RED SOX ARE OVER .500 (34-29) - GET THE DUCKBOATS READY!!!!!!!!!

[Dennis Bonvie]

Don't ever remember 2 guys in the booth that seemed sooo happy to be doing a game as Eck and Millar tonight.

Eckersley is absolutely HYPING up Devers on NESN. Can’t assume ownership loves that

May need 2 Brinks trucks.

He is just stating the obvious

 

[DKH]

I was there, too. Met John Havlicek on the way out and he signed my ticket stub. Have my Yaz Day poster, my Ted Williams/Joe Cronin number retirement poster - Sox used to do nice things like that.

I got the Williams & Cronin retirement number as well lol

Clendenon was the MVP of the World Series for the Miracle Mets with 3 dingers in 4 games.

Yikes I should have known that

Man did I miss on Benintendi

He’s got no power anymore and I’m just stunned how he fell off

He was a valuable guy on the 18 Red Sox WS and made that incredible catch against Astros that could have been a catastrophe

I liked him a lot and maybe the biggest disappointment of a Red Sox young player I saw in my lifetime considering his first 1500 at bats were overall very good

I thought 300 with 25-30 homers and 500 slug were in the cards

I would not say gone. He had 17 last year.

I am 100% in agreement with you on Devers. He’s young. He’s a superstar. Lock him up. To not be the Rays and to be the Dodgers, you need to lock up your stars. He’s one to move forward with. He wants to be here too. It’s a no brainer. Back up the Brinks as @CDJ says.

On Xander? I’m in the camp that losing Bogaerts for a comp pick would be unacceptable. So he’s either re-signed longterm OR he’s dealt for a healthy package that continues to build the farm up.

However: you weaken your team this year. So what do you do. It’s a hard one. I just do not want to lose him for a comp pick. The Sox aren’t there yet to be doing that… for a player on Bogaerts caliber.

Re: Xander
Not sure if I’ll explain what I’m thinking clearly enough, but here goes…

With the expanded number of playoff spots, I think teams will often be in a similar, difficult situation, but may choose to move quality players for packages of prospects more often than we’ve seen before.

While it’s true that oftentimes the WS winner isn’t one of the top 3/4 teams in the game over the course of 162, which could make GM’s consider keeping a pending FA, it’s also true that the fact that the increased chance of making the playoffs next year, might make some GM’s move that FA to be to load up for a 5+ year run.

He’s no longer trying to launch the ball out of the park. He has more of a contact swing now. It’s a conscious decision that he made because he finally came to the realization that he’s not a slugger.

 

[BostonBob]

I hope E-Rod is okay and that he didn't do anything legally or morally dubious.

He did - he left the Red Sox.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Scary.

Ragging on Mt. Washington as a destination right after the commercial for the cogwheel train probably didn't go over well either.

I was dying. I’m sitting there like: “Eck. You can’t be ragging on a sponsor right after their commercial”.

I actually had went there last winter with my girlfriend. It was awesome! We didn’t go all the way up but we did the first stop. Definitely a cool experience.

I feel so old right now.

Ohtani is not the only two-way player in baseball any more!

 

[Gator Mike]

If you're wondering, Kody doesn't have quite as much zip on his fastball as his dad.

 

[EverettMike]

Ohtani is not the only two-way player in baseball any more!

Again, not his fault, but I must once again say the following: f*** Kody Clemens.

 

[McGarnagle]

The Astros threw two immaculate innings in the same game, and both times it was the same three Texas batters

Did they get DFA’d right after the game?

 

[RoccoF14]

6-9 in the Rangers' lineup had 9Ks in 13 ABs today.

That's just brutal.

Winckowski pitching well.

Athletics starting pitchers have been bad bad bad

Like the Bruins with smoke and mirrors. Success against bad teams
