6/5-6/7 Red Sox vs. Tigers Series Thread

Still a lot of games to be played and time for him to re-establish  some value.  You never know what a team may need over the course of a regular season and/or playoffs

He can reestablish some value, but not enough to get the QO offer. It's like a free parting gift. Nothing significant, but it's another free thing for nothing for losing a player.

He would need to start and be going good in order to get this QO, but he's been the opposite of that.

The Sox are making the right move though. Wright needs to be in the rotation. This rotation goes from really good to probably the best in baseball with all-star form Wright throwing shut outs all over again like 2016 redux.

That's true, but any free form of compensation is nice. Especially in baseball where 4th round picks still has a chance to turn into everyday players.

Only in Fenway can a homerun anywhere else turns into a out at second base. That's awful luck.

Ok, my ERod thing again. I think he has the best mix on the staff... Sale included. Great FB, tough cutter, great change, tricky little slider a few times agame. Somehow, though, he manages to throw bad pitches in bunches. And Eck is right: he gets himself in trouble nibbling, which tends to play a part.

It’s frustrating. He seems to find a way to give up runs on minimal damage... two two-out hits on basically the two bad pitches (maybe two of three, getting lucky on a cutter over the middle earlier) of the game.

That would have been in the upper deck in Houston.

nice rip....but hustle out of the gate Vaz.

If Jordans furniture would put that baseball up on the very top of the wall this game, we would all have free furniture for the next 10 years.

Please load the bases for JDM. Please amuse me.

That'll do pig, that'll do. I'll take a Xander double instead.

The team is just playing with lots of confidence. So often last year we turned scrub pitchers on the other team into Cy Young. This year - maybe with Cora's directive of hunting pitches and not waiting - we are beating the pitchers we should be beating easily.

So far so good - another in the "fun game" column. Gotta love a parade of doubles!

i don't know if this is all DD's fault and the Tigers aren't terrible this year, but it does make you think, given our farm, that this could be us in a few years.  Of course, it wasn't that long ago that we had a string of last place teams in the division.
