Booooo!!! You get what you get this year. Front office set the tone this year with non effort to push it to the max to win.

The winning run would be at the plate if Heath Hembree didn't exist.

Porcello has nearly a 6.00 ERA and not a small sample size either. I'm surprised there isn't more talk about taking him out of the rotation I have talked about it and how Eovaldi might be needed in the rotation. Now when Brian Johnson comes back for the Yankee double header, I think he should take Porcello's place. You can not afford to give Porcello another start. He almost deserves to be DFA'd at this point.

Lol, the Sox laying an egg when the GM comes out and says he believes in them and thinks they're perfectly fine as is.

Good thing the Sox acquired an arm so they can start to stretch out Eovaldi to replace Porcello soon.....ohhh wait.

No one's trading any value for Heath Hembree, who is 30 years old, especially on a rebuilding team. I overvalue every relief pitcher, nope. I see value as other teams see things. The last guy I'm asking for in trades is Heath Hembree if I'm the Marlins and I want to do deal Romo, in his example. For a guy who was claiming to be the GM whisperer last week, you are in violent disagreement with how this team valued their external options. This board is ridiculous. Everyone and their mothers can see that their needed a improvement to be made. 4 or 5 posters on here and Dave Dombrowski couldn't see that. Frankly speaking, what the 2019 Red Sox did with this bullpen this year was the most irresponsible thing that has been done since the 2015 starting rotation of the Sox that year.

When Colton Brewer is blowing games in late July, it does make sense that you rather see ANYONE else. Perhaps one might even overreact to such a thing. Every game matters. You could win or lose the 2nd wild card spot by one game.

People are really losing their minds over twenty innings of Daniel Hudson or whatever. When Colton Brewer is blowing games in late July, it does make sense that you rather see ANYONE else.

YOU LOST CRAIG KIMBREL FROM LAST YEAR. YOU'RE BULLPEN IS EVEN WORSE THIS YEAR. So, who wants to take the honors this time of re-litigating Kimbrel's performance in last year's playoffs? 2.3 bWAR VALUE IN 2018.

And what if the starting rotation turns it around in the last 2 months here? Then we cruise into the wild card game and have a good shot at making a long run in the playoffs, especially with a Workman/Barnes/Hernandez/Eovaldi bullpen + Cora's willingness to use starters situationally in the playoffs. Adding a decent bullpen arm neither greatly improves their odds of making the playoffs (which depend mainly on the starters) nor improves them much in the playoffs (where they weren't going to improve on the core group named above). Keep drinking that cool aid bragging about those bullpen arms.

Remember last year when the bullpen was the Achilles heel that prevented us from winning the World Series? How can Dombrowski possibly think this team can win as it's currently constructed... YOU LOST CRAIG KIMBREL FROM LAST YEAR. YOU'RE BULLPEN IS EVEN WORSE THIS YEAR.

Just for the record you would definitely be complaining even more if the Red Sox traded for a starter with a 6.07 ERA. Yeap. Should experiment if there are no definite answers anywhere. Or are you content with the Brewer circus in the bullpen? Sanchez's stuff could play up better in a bullpen role.

LOL then let's pitch Brewer in important spots. I love the inexperience we got in Eovaldi and Hernandez. Cashner will save us. But Aaron Sanchez would have saved them... Couldn't hurt.

And what if the starting rotation turns it around in the last 2 months here? Then the bullpen will have Workman, Barnes, Hernandez and Eovaldi to close out those games. Upgrading on Brewer doesn't move the needle. LOL it's a improvement. The Sox need every marginal improvement in this tight wild card race. Brewer isn't a major league quality arm.

Let's do nothing after the bullpen has been tanking since the start of June, while in contention!!! Bold move. Let's see if this one pays off. Let's promote Darwinzon Hernandez, trade for Cashner to reduce the bullpen overwork and get Eovaldi back from injury all in the last month!!! LOL then let's pitch Brewer in important spots. I love the inexperience we got in Eovaldi and Hernandez. Cashner will save us.

I have to say I'm impressed with Dombrowski willingness to change and revisit his strategy: Tigers DDo would've traded Mize to get get a Lugo-Diaz package. Maybe it's the influence of his new front office or the ownership group? I don't know but the farm is getting healthier and deeper and I like that! Would've liked to add a reclamation project like Givens or Biagini but I'm fine with all of that. Now let's roll! Totally agree. He seems to have read the team's situation really well here - given the state of the farm system, no plausible addition was going to add much to the team, and even if it did help a bit the team's still going nowhere if the starting pitching doesn't live up to its potential. And what if the starting rotation turns it around in the last 2 months here?

Just make any trade and give up anything to get him whether it makes the team better or not! That way I know they're trying! Let's do nothing after the bullpen has been tanking since the start of June, while in contention!!! Bold move. Let's see if this one pays off.

Greinke wasn't traded unless it's not on MLBTraderumors yet and Aaron Sanchez is having an even worse season than Porcello. edit - I see the Greinke trade now. There's no possible way the Red Sox could have taken on that contract. They are going to use Sanchez as a 1-inning reliever. Yeap. Sox couldn't even get creative. Astros can. Go figure.

Lol I know you drink the cool aid. Wright can't stay healthy for more than a minute. Don't start with the tantrums again. You were wrong again after telling us how much the Red Sox were going to blow up the farm on the bullpen for the last two years. LOL ya I was wrong after the Washington backed out of a deal last year. I was wrong when the front office acted dumb on the bullpen all year. Every Sox fan in the world knows they needed to make a move.
