Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season VI: Hunt for the Wild Card is on

They responded to the lack of moves last night. The players are embracing this "if our GM doesn't believe in us, we're gonna believe in us and prove them wrong" attitude.

I like it.

Ya I don't buy the rah rah plucky underdog stuff. Players won't end up being fueled by that. Either the team will be good enough or it isn't. We'll see.

Yah other than Edman at second or getting a John Smoltz like return for Downtown Doyle Alexander aka James Paxton

Chaim did right thing

Yet to come across one baseball individual I respect who is upset about this

@Fenway any insight and/or articles discussing this, pretty interesting that this was something Red Sox considered

Can we get a list of these individuals? Other than geek squad fans i haven't seen anyone applaud Bloom for taking a nap during the deadline. I sure as hell hope you don't mean fans. And why would a neutral analyst be "upset" about the Red Sox not doing anything?

 

[Johnnyduke]

Next year people will be saying Mayer will be here in 2025 and that they're fine with Bloom doing nothing but stick his thumbs up his ass. It will never end.

 

[Johnnyduke]

And is being the Mets/Cohen really so bad? If it doesn't work you can still sell off talent for good prospects.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Finally, the Red Sox West are extremely aggressive in trades and free agency yet for some reason we are supposed to be content with the exact opposite here.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Hopefully Baltimore helps us out for 2 more games, if the Sox can just win.

The Yankees begin the day in last place in the AL East by 2 games.

They'd be leading the AL Central by half a game.

The AL East is the only division where no team has a losing record. Every other division in MLB has at least two, save the AL West which has an historically bad Oakland team skewing everything.

Cleveland is the ultimate .500 team, 53-55 and 444 runs scored, 444 runs scored against.

Casas just got named AL Rookie of the Month for July

Duran pissing on an 0-2 changeup

Best player on the team tbh

Probably their biggest game changer.

At some point before Kutter Crawford's Red Sox career comes to an end, I'll stop calling him Paxton.

One of the more obscure, weird baseball injuries there has ever been

Also the most inconsequential player to be named in the Mitchell Report

 

[Mione134]

I love Jarren Duran.

That is all.

 

[DKH]

Whoever is running the development part of Red Sox organization they should get a raise

 

[McGarnagle]

The fact that Jaren Duran's turned into a baller after I'd completely given up on him and wrote him off as a failed prospect gives me hope for Trent Frederic

 

[08SeaBass08]

Loved getting out of that jam.

 

[GatorMike]

 

[DKH]

I wanted Jeter Downs in that Betts Dodgers deal badly bur Connor Wong could end up the gem

 

[quietbruinfan]

Screw the Bloom pen, and screw that incompetent, gutless zero. However, if this goes how it should, he may be FIRED!
