Bobby is at .139/.225/.215
Pull the plug. I'll take Marwin Gonzalez, I don't care

When did Bobby last make contact? Looks like he fouled out to Abreu on Friday and has two foul tips today. The last ball he hit in play was a flyout to LF in Thursday's game.

We need to get more than a 45-grade player for our ace, especially if we subsidize him. Demand a top prospect. As Gordon Gecko said in Wall Street, "Greed is good."

I love how people say we should blow this thing up after 28 games. Not even a quarter of the way through. This team will start hitting though it seems bleak right now. The one move that the GM has to make is getting a 9th inning guy to close games. The neglect shown in getting that one guy might not be Bloom’s fault completely but that of our suddenly stingy ownership. Playing tight purses does not work when the loyal fan base pays the 3rd highest ticket prices in the game at $101.36 (Cubs/Yankees higher). Which makes the Story signing so random when it happened. Why not spend that money on a closer and another starter. That contract then playing money control with Devers and Bogey seemed to put bad vibes to start season. Xander and Rafa should both be lifers which if they were wearing pinstripes would be a moot point but I’m guessing Bloom is being told by John Henry and company to stay below the dreaded tax threshold. In some ways Bloom probably wanted to start a full rebuild last year but the tremendous surprise season has slowed his role. So we are stuck trying to figure out who will close games with Matt Barnes not being himself and Robles unable to throw strikes. The Red Sox will eventually hit this epic failure of making contact in critical situations will subside as painful as it’s been to watch. Dalbec needs to see the minors to get his confidence back. It’s a long season things will turn the question is who will falter between New York, Tampa, or Toronto. We are closer to the Jays and Rays ruling the roost but the Red Sox farm system keeps adding top 100 talent which will pay off. The Red Sox will be fine even as this current stretch of offense seems like swimming in quicksand. Starting pitching has been really good the bullpen can be straightened out with a trade (easier to get relievers scout the Reds/Pirates) and the hitting will come. Let’s Go Red Sox! Keep the faith!

Devers' defense has looked so good to me and yet he is at -1 DRS and 0 OAA. I guess he's maybe benefiting in my perceptions from the contrast with his past performance...

Can Dalbec play 2b? Might be an improvement.

Uh oh, back-to-back singles by our only hitters is usually a rally killer.

I'd like to see the third time through the order effect deniers try to explain how the Red Sox have managed to put up a crooked number

Robles time! He's got an ERA 0.89 lower than Kenley Jansen so you know he's a Proven Closer.
Actually part of our Four-Headed Beast (with Brasier, Davis, and Strahm) of guys with lower ERAs than Jansen.

I love knowing that the only 2 players hitting the baseball on our team won’t be here much longer. Bloom needs to sit down and pay these 2 guys and maybe it will boost the clubhouse.

There aren’t 6 ice cold players because of any contract negotiations. They’re just so cold and totally devoid of confidence
