If Gausman just made every start against the Red Sox he’d shatter Cy Young’s win record.

4 years 80 mill for Kyle is probably Blooms biggest mistake so far and that's Bobby's fault.

It is if the plan is for Duran to be the future in CF. Clearly it is the plan because JBJ might be the best defensive CF in RS history. Boston has been using this year to audition for next, and it started in April. If the Red Sox were trying to put the best team on the field: JBJ would be in CF Refsnyder would be in RF Duran would be DH assuming JD can not play for some reason.

Don’t want to derail the thread but it was only one season where they are over the tax anyway and could’ve easily dipped back under in 23.

JBJ isn’t a major league hitter anymore

Good rally to clear the pitcher JBJ and Downs. Now just need to clear Duran and Refscneider and we can have 3 batters who may be competitive.

Poor Downs wasn’t making contact even if he was swinging a stop sign.

Hunter Renfroe was never this bad. And I say that as a JBJ fan.

I hate to be negative but the only way we were winning this game was 1-0. I think we need to make a move for Bell this week. We cant wait another day.

Plawecki is the master of calling for fastballs away when we're shifting on the pull side. Truly masterful catching.

We cant wait another day. I said that back in the end of June. The only conclusion I have is that Chaim has decided this isn't our year and isn't willing to give up his longer term vision. This is the team we will have, maybe subtract a 30 prospect for a career Steve Pence type

I think Verdugo's mistake on that Bo Bichette hit was pointing his glove away from the ball as he tried to make the catch rather than toward it.

I'm a proud member of the Bloominati, but it would be awesome to see a "value" guy show actual value instead of just getting getting it from Devers, Xander, JDM or Verdugo. Vazquez is good for a catcher, but catchers are terrible.
Then again, even Xander hasn’t been showing why he's worth the amount he wants with his zero pop and JDM has been looking old this past month.
...I didn't even realize Verdugo was a -0.3 WAR this season.
Terrible. Just terrible.

Don’t want to derail the thread but it was only one season where they are over the tax anyway and could’ve easily dipped back under in 23. I'm not disagreeing necessarily - I wanted to keep Schwarber too - but you guys better not be over there on Earth2 complaining about the Red Sox' team ERA being like a third of a run higher because the team has Schwarber and not Story in the field.

Better prospect for Evoldi in trade, or with a QO pick?

Plawecki is the master of calling for fastballs away when we're shifting on the pull side. Truly masterful catching. I get the complaint, but you probably don't want the hitter to be able to completely write off fastballs away whenever he sees the shift, right?

If they're winning 6-5 instead of losing 3-2, I'm happy. I would have been very happy with Anthony Rizzo. I wanted to sell high on Renfroe, that might have been an error too.

Well, this game is no longer worth watching. The Jays are picking up where the Yankees left off. They've been outscored 32-3 and counting.
