At least it’s only three more months until the Celtics start up again

It would be stupid to sell even if we're like 55-49 after the next two series, unless Devers goes down or something. Even then, we'd probably be ~2 GB in the Wild Card, KC and Minnesota are both mediocre, and we'd only need to pass one of them. Casas and Hendriks are looming too - just gotta make the playoffs and who knows what'll happen. I don’t think this affects how you should approach the deadline, but I personally don’t think we will see Casas until September. I just mean that making the playoffs is more valuable when you have weapons like that to join by October.

The clock is starting to run and this team has literally done this song and dance the last couple of years. One of these last place finishes they were 10 games over at one point. I think this team isn't ready to invest just yet in this club and if they lose 4 of their next 6 and start drifting away I can't see them buying a James Paxton type or Justin Turner type and turning around their odds. They need another starter, maybe 2. They need a RHH, they need a 1B. This is also assuming Casas isn't coming back in the near future either. This is why I get annoyed when people proclaim April and May games don't matter. The Yankees built up a very nice nest egg and the Red Sox are teetering on the buy/sell line. If they do decide to sell, I'd like to give Yorke a look at 2B. But this conversation I think ends with a Red Sox sweep and we can go back to dreaming of this or that player coming here to help. To be clear, by "it would be stupid to sell" I mean "they should buy".

i get that it's coors, so i understand why tanner houck is off, but what's with the offense? one hit? do we just stop functioning when we face a left handed pitcher? i thought we were choking against the good teams and beating up on the bad teams, what is this?

Devers strike out rate against lefties is absurd

Raffy hasn't been good since the break. He has a lot of company in that regard.

So when does the Red Sox all-star break end? All the other teams are playing - and winning. Sheesh.

This umpire has legit called any thing close a strike for the Rockies and anything close for the Sox a ball

Not sure it’s just a Coors thing for Houck

Say what you any about pitching. Everyone always needs another starter and another reliever.
This offense badly, BADLY, needs an another righty bat. That’s a team building issue that has been growing for a couple of years as the good righties were replaced by lefties.

At least the Red Sox have the best Westbrook in sports.
