u/usoreigns

from the dirt from the dugout podcast theo talks about the state of the team…..

2.0 games out … the al sucks fam… and just to think we have one of the best defense team in the league and a top 10 rotation top 5 when bello is optioned or move to the pen when crochet returns. roman anthony injured, the regression of jaren duran and the shell of trevor story, we are calling up guys like sogard and gasper to provide a spark which they have contributed. i guarantee craig can’t sell at the deadline because his job is on the line to make the playoffs this season…. if your going to buy my hope is the team within 2.5 games come the deadline because the reality is if we played in the NL we would be 10 games back from a spot but since orioles & jays haven’t played great, the AL west are mid and the AL central as well the whole race is open and some of the top team currently will fall down to their means.

season is over when your that close to being in a wild card and yes it’s may and yes i’m optimistic because quite frankly the team is playing the worst of the season and it’s only a matter of time they brings us all back in…

SELL THE TEAM……

like what exactly are they doing? i mean honestly. the franchise deadass had been trying to regroup after they traded mookie…to get to a point last year of the prospects mixed in with devers and addition to bregman there was great promise & godwill with the fanbase. in the span on not even a year they jettison it all away with communication problems… scapegoats the coaching staff.. extending players who don’t perform let alone playing in triple a without a defensive position. the franchise has no bloody direction mate and i for the longest had been against sell the team but come on mate.

the team and the organization is what i call soulless and what we’re looking at is the equivalent of a corporation coming into a prestige organization and cutting costs and changing the way they run the place and gutting out what the core fans want and eager for with past teams for cheaper players mixed in with the analytics nerds up above with no feel.
FSG deadass name there group after FENWAY FUCCIN PARK & the one thing they don’t give a shit about is the team that plays there. they rather have their hands in everything else besides the ball club and act suprised when fans don’t show up the diehard ones and every home game is essentially a away game with other teams fans.

the training staff that has been here for years they can go as well… 21 years old who is made outta fiber glass along with casas who quite frankly i don’t even know he is a part of the organization. there is nobody saving the team in the minors to save the ball club anytime soon and the pitching lab might as well be useless when the roster they got is PATHETIC.

the season is a wrap and the bad part is is we 2.5 games out of a wild card spot but the team is legitimately cooked fam

looks like we got our window….. 10 pm eastern should be clear and ready boys….

UNFORTUNATELY we lost the series technically we can still split in july but the morale of the story is the rays are the rays for a reason and given performances from tolle & early and offense wasn’t shut out 3 days in a row im pleased.. its funny that looking at our record of 17-23 im fine with it because the teams hasn’t gotten hot offensively there has been stretches but the team needs to focus on putting the ball in play than aiming for the streets. the one area of concern is the bullpen is heavily taxed and i don’t trust weissert in the 7th not kelly with slaten coming back is a good get but i feel craig outta be searching for some depth or help.

mickey gasper had a great game today and i wouldn’t mind if the solution is contreras on the 10 day IL & activating roman anthony if the injury is worse than expected call around craig to see who you can get because we cannot be playing sogard and monasterio platoon when the defense has been one if not only the bright spot.

trevor story needs to change his stance because not only is he late to every pitch but he sets up so far off the plate and the stance paired with his timing has been off for years now and not only can’t he hit but costly errors we cannot have..

phillies, braves, royals, twins the next 4 upcoming series i like what i seen of the offense even though in stretches but these next two are big series and if we stay in distance of a game or 3 games outta the wild card CRAIG GONNA BUY he job depends on it…

brother is literally guessing out there that whole sequence was pathetic for a 5 whole hitter..

makes you wonder if craig never re-signed/ extended alex cora in 2024 and let him walk while craig hired his own staff and manager would rafael devers still be a boston red sox and the chaos in kansas city last year never would’ve occurred.
i do believe the handling of communication with cora being an advocate for alex bregman but at the same time refused to directly be upfront with raffy to DH/ get reps at first was the beginning of the end. while a lot of the backlash was on breslow for not being upfront with devers on one side the long tenor manager should’ve had that conversation and handle things accordingly than let it all spiral out which lead to a trade.

we stand 14-21 currently but if the team continues to put at bats together and the rotation while crochet is hurt but we get sonny back.. i’m optimistic.

roman injury up in the air doesn’t necessarily bother me bc it gets yoshida to play and duran has turned a corner lately. roman has started to elevate the ball but the lack of power and his strikeouts has been a let down to start so maybe time off would be best for him but for the outfielders bc the logjam solved itself out. if roman is hurt i’ll bring up campbell no and or ifs about it.

it amazes me how awful the AL is and orioles, tigers, & more will come down to earth we must hope our team plays above expectations thus far

Oh brother…. we got about 130 more games of this season and they are defending duran and cora till the end of time on there. talk of trade deadline and the teams outlook. i mean do we expect breslow to pack it in open a blue moon and watch the organization go down in flames? this is a make or break months for breslow to make something horrible into something great. i don’t know why we defending alex cora who NEEDED to go years ago and duran who is hitting a buck and coming for his defense when he is 29?

they expect breslow to sell on all the players at the deadline when i hate to break it to ya they won’t and it will cost breslow his job if he doesn’t turn this around. astros suck just like us there has been a lot of examples of bad teams to start to turn the ship around…

seen this going around hopefully it he hitting staff shows roman this…. i noticed his load was off and the position of the hands on the wood bottom of the bat..

corchet looked rough lately anyways…. gray will be back and we have jake bennett if we need him… get better ❤️‍🩹 gona need him for the playoffs

nate eaton is coming up……. also the report of dombrowski saying he was fielding trade calls… i wonder if we getting the red sox traded duran to the phillies for pitching…

am i the only one who thinks we legit might not see casas back in a red sox uniform ever again? let me preface i wish casas gets healthy bc the team needs power in which he gives us but man its so unfortunate with the setbacks and i know for a fact AC definitely wasn’t keen on him so im hoping he is back soon …. the lack of updates its like will we ever see him again?

Congrats on tracy on his first win as manager in the big leagues! crazy 24 hours and gonna be event more crazy in the couple weeks with all this media reports and drama. honestly believed the team that was out there today feels like a weight was lifted off of them while still processing what went down. the organization and team needed this win and i have full faith as i said before that the team beed d a new voice and roman anthony praise for tracy and the additions of tinkering the lineup as well as being back the speed element of the sox who would go crazy on the bases im happy.

onto toronto blue jays….

if you have time before the game, watch this interview of new interm manager chad tracy… quite excited for his managerial debut !

only up from here amirite?
