The less this offense hits the more idc if they commit to bogaerts as a SS for 7 years He’s had a hell of a game tonight He’s been our most consistent player for the last 5 seasons. Consistent is so rare in baseball. He’s worth 6 years all the money. After taking the paycut the last few seasons. 6 years 210 would be my offer. Not sure what value Henry and Bloom put on legacy players these days.

A couple of things: I am certain Bloom has pretty much noted the same issues as everyone here. I feel confident he will make corresponding moves between the quarter pole and trade deadline. Second I much prefer to be playing their best ball in September as opposed to now. Anyway its off to Toronto sans non vaxers. Hoping for the best.

Shaw getting meaningful at bats is inexcusable at this point. See my post above. The aggregate MLB batting average suggests there are a lot of players in the league who shouldnt be. Case in point.

The Red Sox arent the only team not hitting. Going into the game tonight the Red Sox team average was .239. A 239 team batting average is bad enough generally speaking but it was actually 11th best overall. Seems like there are a lot players who dont belong in the bigs. Also heard on ESPN radio the other night that MLB had made the balls lighter this year which was making for less homeruns and offense.

Could be completely off, but from the games I’ve watched in person story’s throwing looks so off. Whenever I watched him warm up before the game or in between innings he looks like he’s forcing each throw. Just looks uncomfortable. And we’ve already seen a couple of bad throws from him already. Could be a physical or mental issue from his arm injury last year maybe? Or I could be mistaken Dont know what a factor it is currently but the was said to have elbow issues before he was signed.

What are the odds of winning a game while getting 2 hits? Probably under 5%? Guys who want and got big money better start hitting.

As frusterating and streaky as Dalbach and JBJ are, I have no desire to see Franchy in Red Sox MLB game again. JMO of course.

I feel like an early argument can be made that the bat this team really needs, ended up a Chicago Cub. Cant blame Bloom for that, I dont think.

Going into tonight the team was 16th in batting average .228 and 16th in runs scored 47 for those interested.

Sox look like they are playing with weights in their shoes through 10 games. Just feels like there is a lack of energy — I am not impugning effort, but it still comes off like spring training. They need a laugher… just bombs away, get everyone loose, playing, waving, cart-riding etc. Too many guys worried about future contracts?

The Twinks hit one (!) ball off Wacha that was more than 95 mph off the bat. Early returns suggest that he might've been a good signing by Chaim... like we all thought. LOL. Time will tell on Wacha. Personally I like him in the bullpen but that is just me. Put it this way, I didnt hate this signing like I did Garrett Richards last year from the second pen touched paper.

Raffy playing like he gonna command his number in next contract. Where ever that is.

Not gonna complain about a 500 record at this point. I think they will be in the thick of things all season.

Nice to see Raffy raking early in the season, normally a slow starter. Also nice to see Whitlock will be a fixture for a few years.

I know the jury is still out with Bloom for a lot of you but I think he is right far more often than wrong in acquiring talent. Particularly getting cheap obscure pitching talent.

It is not officially a great win until Guidas says it.

We all hate losing to the MFY. Not gonna get too worked up about it at this point. Said going into spring training I thought the team was a bat and two pitchers short and I still think so. I am sure Bloom is will do his best to improve the team in due time.

Judge turns down 8 yr, $233M extension. Sure to draw media frenzy today. Very nice. A tall power hitter with a history of back problems. What could go wrong?

What was the projection, 90 wins? Let this be three of them.
