If the playoffs were to start this week, I would think the one game wildcard starter would be either Porcello or Wrght. If it was a 5 game series I would expect Pomeranz to be the 3rd starter. Price would be a long man in the bullpen...Not exactly what the Red Sox were looking for when they signed him for a 7 year $210 million contract.

Probably were thinking 3.5 months of underperforming doesn't dictate what the next 6 seasons will bring. He will be fine although this has been unfortunate

Red Sox defense has been a complete embarrassment this weekend.

6 of Xander Bogaerts 10 errors this year have happened when Rick Porcello is pitching.

How can you beat the Giants in that fashion and they completely self destruct against the f*!@3%&ing Twins?

FWIW
“@brianbilek_: Source says not to rule out a mega deal with #RedSox acquiring both David Roberston and Jose Quintana. #Dodgers hot on Quintana as well.”
“@brianbilek_: As reported earlier by @barstoolwsd, this source offered secondary confirmation that #RedSox have serious interest in David Robertson.”
“@brianbilek_: #RedSox Dave Dombrowksi is living up to his reputation. One in the know expects his offer to best #Dodgers offer in Quintana sweepstakes.”

Whoa there. Hopefully the Sox will find a way to win at least one game. But seriously, with the brutal schedule coming up, the Sox probably need to bank as many wins as they can in the immediate future. There figure to be some rough stretches over the next couple of months. I thought I was kidding when I made the smart-ass comment above. This is a real issue -- the Sox don't have that many home games left and have a brutal schedule coming up. Just based on the schedule it figures that the team will be struggling to maintain a playoff spot. Keep the team as is, DD, and let them stand or fall as is. Don't try to do something heroic that has a small chance to succeed and a large chance to mess up the future. And I say that as someone who may conceivably not have all that much [personal] future left.

Why not shake things and get rid of Farrell. Why he is certainly not the only problem, he certainly isn't part of the solution.

So the farm system gets traded and we're absolutely getting shutout by Tommy Milone? I need a beer. Or ten.

Hanley staying hot is going to be crucial in the second half, and for our future. Starting to make me feel a little more comfortable about gauging other teams' interest in Shaw.

That's after Gibson shut the offense down on Friday night. Thst could just as easily happen in a one game wild card. It would be very difficult to replace guys like Bradley, Moncada and Groome. These last few games also show how important Betts is to this team as the guys playing RF have been beyond bad.

We need the bottom of the order to wake up and start contributing.
It would also be nice if our pitchers did not give back leads,

Would be nice to be able to keep a lead for longer than five minutes.
