Get Elderly Teammates Zestfully

I quit doing this when TLR and Getz were hired.

50 games under .500 for a full season is 56-106. The Sox would need to play .500 baseball at 29-29 to win 56 games this year, or win 2 more games in a 58 game stretch than they did in 104 games so far this year. Why highlight 56-106? This is the current record for the most losses in a single season in Sox history.

50 games under .500. In July.

Well the Sox are doing their part by trying to stop Texas from being a seller.

Dead by midnight.

Can't wait for the next AA reliever.

The problem is they all have decent to great bullpens, while we technically have pitchers in our bullpen.

I wasn't even going to bother saying it again, but yeah.

Yeah it's one thing for teams to say they can't add dollars, but Fedde is so cheap, even small market teams don't have excuses.

We have three years of control left. It's a chance worth taking when his peak season is just one year ago.

Yeah it is going to be much harder to be "in it" at the deadline, not add, and miss the playoffs and explain that to your fanbase, versus adding and missing out. At least you tried kind of stuff goes further.

Sure but guys like DiPoto and Dombrowski exist, so that's fine.

I know we are in the stage of the deadline where it is all about who teams WON'T deal, but eventually someone is going to look at the last half of the season, his current playoff chances, and blink.

Because we can see what the other 29 teams paid for their classes.

Once you get past Fedde, it is pretty much taking the best offer out there. Maybe Kopech takes some thought, but that group of Brebbia, Wilson, Pham, DeJong, etc is literally whatever you get for them, move them.

Officially predicts Luis Robert doesn't get traded at the deadline

Heyman is still hearing that Yankees aren't willing to give up Spenser Jones for Crochet.

Predicts Crochet to LAD

Crochet "likely" to get traded, Robert "not sure"

Sox "really unhappy" with the offers on Fedde.

I missed the beginning, but Heyman said that DeJong might well be playing 3B as a preview for the Yankees.

It really all depends on what exactly his injury is. The fact he was put straight on to the 60 day DL scares me a lot, as does the lack of information surrounding his injury and status.
