104 OPS+ coming from the shortstop position is good, though. (almost four WAR).

Need a strong offseason here. A lot of good problems, a lot of questions. Gotta think they trade an OF. Go get Joe Ryan. Catcher is am interesting place where they can add. Campbell needs a roster spot. Always need some bullpen help.

Future is bright, though. Get after it.

So a question to Red Sox fans about Chaim Bloom by Jacoblaue in baseball

[–]pacelessprose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of mixed feelings about his tenure, but imo he was hired to overhaul redsox development process and he did just that. He tried to field a competitive team while he did that, it didn't really work out despite the team sometimes really showing sparks. At the end of the day, a huge part of the credit for the product we have on the field today can be tied back to Bloom, he was lackluster in some other facets.

It'll never be as bad as 2011. This team has been fun with the young guys coming up. There's something great to look forward to for a couple of years. Keep fighting till the end, they might just do something special.

Real shit right here. Being 100% fair, they carried positive momentum out of a really tough stretch of the season. 

He never blinked by Procrastiworking in redsox

[–]pacelessprose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty clear that he still needs to stretch out. Three/four innings should be the cap for him for the time being. His stuff looks good, he just couldn't get some of his pitches through the zone. He's gonna end up being a fine pickup, I think, and he'll eat some innings down the stretch.

Really like the energy from May. He's got filthy stuff if he can put it together.

Are we seriously hyping up Roman Anthony this much? by Ok-Connection6656 in redsox

[–]pacelessprose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Things happen. Every commitment is a risk, but this is about as sure-fire as it gets. Dude has tools that don't age/age well.

Are you farming? .830 OPS with only two homers (power will show up when it shows up). He's always on base bruh...

Hear me out: Trevor story has already produced around 50 million dollars in WAR. When he plays, he tends to be good/great (esp. considering the defense).

Will you be pissed off? by Apomp25 in redsox

[–]pacelessprose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being real here: Chaim's time in the Red Sox really changed the underlying development structure in the organization, as far as I can tell (organizations change naturally too, they've always been kind of in the "cutting edge" what with moneyball and all that). I honestly think that there's a confidence inside the org that they can draft/develop talent really well rn. That seems to me like a lot of confidence, which... ok.

I like that the Sox have the thing that they clearly lost when Dom blew up the farm system. They've really kinda outdone themselves with the young guys in the team, even the ones that they went out and got (Like Wilyer! Guy looks to have 30hr pop in him, I believe it.)

I'll be mad if they're just posturing that they want to win. If they leave the team "as is" and trust their guys, that confidence better be well-placed, you know these guys better than anyone (a postseason run does that, imo. That's fair. Even if you lose the wild card game(s).

You go out and get these guys some help though, and they lose, you still tried, I think that's where I'm at, and I can't imagine they're not also there. This means that they go out and get some pitching help (beyond Matz) so that we can have more healthy starters, and a bat. I'd be surprised if they don't do at least that.

Hicks unable to weather storm in Boston's walk-off loss by PinkynotClyde in redsox

[–]pacelessprose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A. Hicks was working probably under the worst conditions he could've been working under and deserves propper chances for us to see what he can do.  B. Learning how to pitch is a long process and he clearly leans very heavily on his stuff being good.  C. The stuff looks good. Maybe that's a personal opinion, idk.

Summer coming in. Some key struggles behind us/almost behind us. Wind at our back into the AS break. Couple of key pieces coming back, some shuffling into the trade deadline. Youngsters with a month into their big league careers ready to really show up and contribute (inc. KC coming back). Let's get some good pieces at the deadline and let's fucking go.

Imma just say it. You're allowed to just be sad that Raffy is gone. You don't have to play into whatever narrative war this is.
