this thread is becoming indistinguishable from the comments section of a WEEI article

The crazy thing is it is the lack of scoring hurting the team right now. I know this might be unsustainable for the staff, but I’d still rather they get a bat than an arm. Where to put him is a bit tricky. TBF outside of 2018 the Sox have always been terrible on the tail end of a west coast swing

I'm going to laugh if Bichette has a torn MCL and the Blue Jays decided to publicly go with "knee discomfort". well its Canada, surprised they did not go with the vague "lower body injury" like they do in the NHL

My whole thing is we are going to lose Turner and paxton in the off-season. Paxton is literally a chip to cash in on. He is insanely injury prone, is going to be a 35 year old free agent, and in what looks like a sellers market. Extending him will also be a mistake. Turner is probably gone because I don’t see Bloom wanting to lay him for multiple years, which will definitely get now. Odd are (literally) that we miss the playoffs. So why not cash in on these aging (and essentially rentals)? Especially if we are going to add anything impactful to this team today? That is the only argument to keep them, is if they add an impact player today no

Yup, it has nothing to do with bad situational hitting. Justin Turner strikes out with runners on 1st and 3rd and 1 out, but that's on Cora. Seattle made two good plays in the 7th to thwart a rally but let's blame Cora for that too. You must be new to this baseball thing. This is 100% on that moron. The 6th inning 2 on and nobody out vs a lefty that moron decides to hit verdugo instead of Refsnyder. Then the idiot lets pivetta pitch to the one guy who hit a 3rd time for some moronic reason. It’s time to wake up he costs this team more games then he wins them when that happens it’s time to cut bait and get a real manager not somebody who won one championship cheating and has somehow never been questioned since You are clearly a troll and i reported you as such.

3 1-run loses in a row that’s on the manager. If you can’t get the team to play for you in the middle of a wildcard race it’s time to go. There is literally nothing this guy does that is good besides speaks Spanish so he “connects with the players”, and being friends with the idiot media who refuse to ask him any hard questions. Screw that

Great job by Cora pissing another game away. Would rather this team lose every game the rest of the way so this moron gets fired then have them win 87 and he somehow get an extension Get out of here.

The Rays have been playing around .500 ball for something like 2+ months and the Rangers have a lot of players overachieving based on advanced stats. Just like saying when the Astros are healthy, a healthy Red Sox roster is a damn good team. Definitely wouldn’t call them the best, but let’s not act like they aren’t a strong contender. A top three rotation of Sale (healthy), Paxton and Bello would be a solid contender for one of the best out there. You also say etc, but who exactly are the other better teams, especially if the Sox are completely healthy? I don’t see much else out there that would be clearly better at that point. Braves, Orioles, Astros, Rays, Dodgers, Marlins, Phillies, Rangers and maybe the Reds are all above this squad. Then you have a team like Toronto who is super weird and should be a lot better than what they've shown. Rays came back to earth, but they're certainly still better than this team. Them coming back to earth was expected. They were on pace at one point for well over 100 wins. Anyways, you can enjoy what the team has done to get out of the cellar but acknowledge they don't have the horses to compete. They need top end talent. I like the moves and the young guys coming in, but they aren't there yet. Lol.

I know people are going to blast me but… this is lame. Why can’t you work AND be with the team? How is it other execs do it it? What is so special about this “war room”? I think it depends where the team is playing during the trade deadline.

To me this isn't a difficult decision. This is not a World Series team. Sell off Paxton, Turner, Duvall or Verdugo. Probably get a better return for Verdugo and sign a vet in the offseason to fill an outfield spot until Ceddanne is ready to come up. Uh. No. Strongly disagree with every word of this.

Wouldn't read into that too much. Kirby is a right hander that throws 97-99mph, and Duvall has been miserable against velocity since his return. I agree, something to be said about showcasing your guy on the trade block too. If you’re talking up a guy it’d be weird to bench him while in a playoff race. can also be "benched" if a trade is close (as to not risk injury etc)
