Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season V - 58 games to go - Kiké Hernandez to the Dodgers for prospects

[McGarnagle]

Fun fact the Red Sox have the best record in the AL over the last month

I checked b-r to confirm, and I don't know the parameters of how they define the last month, but over the last 30 games for each club, Cleveland is 18-12 while the Sox are tied with Baltimore and Toronto at 17-13.

Looking more at the standings breakdown, the main thing that's setting us behind the pack is our record against the crappy AL Central and interleague. We're 16-11 against the East, tied with Baltimore and only one game back of the Rays in that respect. But we're only 11-8 against the Central where Toronto is crushing them at 14-3 and Baltimore and Tampa have a good 17/18 wins against them (in more games played to be fair). Interleague is killing us, we're 11-18 against the NL where the rest of the AL East is at least .500 or better. Interleague is the only thing keeping the Yankees above .500 right now too.

I was just going off since June 14th, they’re 15-8 from what I saw somebody post somewhere else an hour ago. Perhaps I should double check their work lol

Posting with homework, I love it

Great post

I am definitely not on board w trading high level prospects for 2 months of Ohtani. If we’re gonna get him, offer him a shitload in free agency. If he turns down more money to be on the west coast, it was never meant to be anyhow.

 

[CDJ]

Trading premium prospects for rentals is the dumbest thing they could do right now

 

[McGarnagle]

I'd empty the cupboard for a long-term extended Ohtani. But not a rental.

 

[GatorMike]

I'm not even sure I'd empty the cupboard for extended Ohtani for fear of not being able to surround him with enough talent while he's in his prime.

 

[Mione134]

Wait til the off-season to go after Ohtani

Agreed. The Sox philosophy would not spend more, which they can, to surround him

They should be doing the exact opposite.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Go for Sho in the off-season. I too worry we will not have enough around him, but logic says you do not surrender assets now.

Bello better have the same strike zone.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Nevermind. It’s Monaco! He sounds different on TV vs. the radio.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

HOMERUNS GALORE!

 

[Mione134]

Monaco calling the game tonight is an instant serotonin boost.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Bello looking good.

Listening to him I feel young and cool. Listening to Dave I feel dusty and sad

Bello looking good.

Like the lefty lineup tonight. I wish we had one more righty to break it up in spots.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Raffy nuked that 2nd ball. Off the scoreboard haha. 4-0 lead for Bello. Love to see it!

If the damn scoreboard hadn't gotten in the way, he might have hit the Red Line Station behind Sheffield Avenue.

2nd half Casas has emerged and he’s going 420 feet oppo, BLAZE IT
