I am really rooting for Franchy, but this trade has been a disaster. Benintendi even with his middling performance, is such an upgrade And I believe Fenway would have raised his numbers to even more respectable levels this year. I would’ve kept him and let him build up his value then trade in the off season. Trading an asset when it’s value is at its lowest is just bad business, especially when the sunk costs in his case are relatively minimum.

Alex Cora, let's not have Houck throw high leverage innings where it's just lefties facing him for the third time

I think the big part that people forget is the $5M in savings we got from the trade (maybe I misremembering but I think we paid off $2M of the $7M?).... considering we’re right up against the luxury tax I think it’s pretty fair comp to say that $5M savings is the difference between having Renfroe and not having him. So if you want to look at it that way, we got 3 years of control of Renfroe (who’s having a much better season than Benny), Franchy, Winchowski, $2M savings (Bennys salary netted with cash to KC and Renfroe), and the other prospects whos names are escaping me at the moment. I like it.

So much for my dream about Houck cruising thru 7.

Trading an asset when it’s value is at its lowest is just bad business, especially when the sunk costs in his case are relatively minimum. With a 0.6 war season so far, Beni’s trade value is actually probably lower now, even though he has performed better than last year. Now that you’ve seen replacement-level performance over a larger sample size there is less chance that he will bounce back to what he was.

Ground Rule Double

How is that not a ground rule double

Wtf. That should be a ground rule double.
That could be a back breaker. Time to go get Houck. It's amazing how hard it is for pitchers to get far beyond 15 outs.

How do you not bring in Taylor to face Franco???

After further consideration I guess it’s the same thing as if the ball hits a fielders glove and goes over the wall

Houck gets nobody out in the sixth. Is he out of gas or is he a twice through the order pitcher?

The subsequent double would have scored both runners anyways. Damn. I suspect TB will score some more and their pen will hold the Sox down.

How is that not a ground rule double I'm without video feed for the game - would you be so kind as to explain what happened there?

how can Lowe be a .220 something hitter, but closer to .500 against us?

The line between the monster and dead center there’s the yellow line to determine home run vs in play... it hit a few inches to the left of the line (so it was in play) and on the way down went over the CF wall.

why does this team get competitive balance picks? Because they can't draw flies to that worthless stadium. There should be some adjustments in that thinking.

I know this is like a broken record, but when you have 3 guys who are 0-6 with 5 Ks… and look even worse than that… it makes scoring almost completely reliant on homeruns. Marwin/Franchy back-to-back makes an extended rally impossible.

Robles(who is shaky at best) vs Margot who has knack for clutch hits and always does well vs us. Don’t feel too good about this
