"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him." Franchy & Tanner ARE your 2021 Boston Red Sox

i find it odd that they did nothing at the deadline to address 1B. it's not like they even had to go get rizzo, anyone half decent would do. surely c.j. cron could have been had for a few bags of balls

i think marwin gonzalez and danny santana can both play first but they’re liabilities at the plate and yeah, for all the talk of schwarber “learning first” a guy with both a hamstring AND groin injury (??) isn’t who you want stretching out to dig out one-hoppers at first, i’d have thought

Red Sox are angry!

feel bad for valdez, i’ve always liked him, but yeah that was pretty fucking satisfying

diff between 4 and 6 back feels pretty big

nothing has the healing power of three at home against the orioles

send them to florida to play icu patients

seriously. :( their last two starting pitchers are like 1-13 combined or something.

i looked it up, 3-20.

akin gave up three runs in 4 innings - which lowered his ERA.

two hits off andrew fucking heaney in seven innings

they’re not a bad team. they’re a pretty good team playing badly which is much worse.

TIL from WEEI tonight about Bobby Dalbec. His walk-up music is the Doors. his dad is an exec at Atlantic. he has an extensive guitar collection and used to hang out with Rob Thomas.

tbf after i obliquely shit on him three weeks ago, bobby dalbec hit .339/.431/.774 in august. on a par with

at a loss as to why fangraphs thinks the red sox are 15 games better [than the orioles

for my wisest takes of the year. but i will not stop!

i’m still not convinced that Large Adult Son can mash against actually good pitchers but yeah, i’m as surprised as anybody
