F U Vasquez.. WTF. That was even worse than Gonzalez getting picked off. Does he have a 10:30 pm dinner reservation. WTF!

The scout(s) who recommended Robles should be fired. What did they see to think that he could pitch effectively in the majors? It is like batting practice every time he pitches.

Why is Richards wearing eye black, particularly when he is not pitching?

He seems to be marginally better than Workman. I still might opt for Pliawicki over both of them.

Certainly an epic trading deadline in 2022. Italy is much better than the NBA trading deadline where top players move without a lot of talent going back to the other team.

We saw Dalbec at 3B and SS, Vasquez at 3B and Plawecki pitch last night. Schwarber at 1B doesn’t seem too far fetched.

The first base umpire checks Workman’s glove and hat after the top of the 6th. Lol.

Workman should be DFA’ed mid-inning. He isn’t even a quality BP pitcher at this point.

After Aug 1st can the Red Sox still sign undrafted picks. Yes.

Is Danny Ainge a special adviser to Bloom? oNlY iF bLoOm CaN't DrAfT!!! Tatum and Brown? The point is the Red Sox will have a 40 man roster problem this offseason. Why not clear some of it to go after Rizzo? Red Sox ownership and Bloom take a big hit on the credibility front if they stand pat by 3 pm tomorrow.

Donaldson is a clubhouse cancer. Is that true? I don't know that I've seen anything like that (not saying it isn't possibly true, just curious) I recall watching a game between the O’s and Jays will sitting close to first base at Camden Yards in April 2018. There were less than 10,000 in attendance on a miserable night. The Jays first baseman got hurt and Donaldson was moved to 1st base. He was horrible in the field and some guys sitting near me were giving him the business the rest of the game, Every ball hit or thrown to him was an adventure as his footwork was quite bad. Donaldson was giving right back to them and telling them that he was going to hit a HR to offset his fielding. Sure enough he hits a grand slam in the top of the 9th inning to put the game away. He waved to the guys who verbally abused as he rounded first base. I think Donaldson is a gamer, however no one wants to acquire his contract.

Duran is obviously very fast. However he turned around three times to watch the fielders durng that spin around the bases. He probably could have gotten a sub 14 second trip if he focused on running the bases.
PS- the home plate ump sucks at calling pitches. He also snapped at Dalbec 2x after blowing strike 3 call.

Who is the official scorer and have they fired him yet?
I timed Duran at 14.24 around the bases on a stop watch once he made contact.

The nonsense of teams arranging deals with players (or their agents) before they are drafted lacks integrity. It essentially allows teams and players to manipulate the draft. MLB needs to wake up and fix this before the next draft. Things are only going to get more complicated if/when the international players are included in the draft.

Fabian would be investing.a lot in himself if he walks away from approximately $2.3 million. That’s a lot of pressure without much leverage if he doesn’t perform in college next season. Same for Hickey.

Per Sportrac there are 7 unsigned draft picks in the first two rounds of the 2021 MLB draft. This list includes Leiter, Lawlor, Rocker, House and Watson in the first tound. The bulk of the overslot bonuses paid in the 2nd round were by teams which went significantly under slot in round 1. www.spotrac.com/mlb/draft/

At what point does Cora tell Vasquez to knock off the attempted stolen pitches? He is not fooling anyone and getting thrown out way to often.

This could get more complicated with the upcoming trade deadline and the Red Sox close to the luxury tax threshold. Could their 2021 2nd round pick carryover to 2022 be at risk if the Red Sox exceed the luxury tax threshold?

Great comeback win. The bullpen has been a big part of the team’s success this year. However Rios and Workman are the two weakest links, with shaky control. Clear room for improvement, with DFA and either trade(s) or call ups.
