Vargas has NEVER had a massive strikeout problem and inability to hit the opposite handed pitcher.

Look, no one is saying 'get rid of Kolson!', moreso 'maybe he won't be the savior that some lauded him as, and moreso 'a guy' with some power.

Vargas was also so bad in 42 games with the Sox that he was worth -1.0 WAR in that time span in 2024

Braden has a lot of work to do in the offseason. He's like a 1 WAR player right now.

not a great game for Braden, going to happen for a rookie

KW wanted Benintendi but the Red Sox conned him into taking Moncada instead.

Braden gets so much fucking top spin on damn near every single ball he makes contact with, what the hell is up with his swing

Who the hell wants to dress like a finance bro? Maybe if you wanna go as a douche for Halloween or something. Benny coming through today!

I thought it's hilarious they're giving that away.

No excuse for not knowing how many outs, fortunately it didn’t hurt us.

Beni is a guy that all that advanced metrics I just throw out the window for. The guy has been a god send for the team this year.

Rolling his hands over?

he has very little "tilt", especially for our lineup.

The team doesn't need a singular "savior" anymore, which is the main reason this season has been what it has so far.

I'll happily take "a guy" with 30+ HR power, solid defense on the left side of the IF, and room to grow.

Yeah outside of the walls, Murakami has been just as disappointing offensively for a long time. When you combine that with Colson being able to play a tougher position, I feel like we’re picking on the wrong guy a lot.

I just looked up who is the most likely rookie of the year for the AL and they listed Mune as the 2nd most likely and the funny thing is that another rookie on the team, Tristen Peters is probably more deserving. I would guess it will be McGonigle.

Colson is 58th in fWAR. He's a solid starter. If he's our weakest link, we're good.

just barely a strike

Took the lead so time for a fucking leadoff walk.

Manly challenge there, Jake.

Out by a stitch

Kody Clemens pisses me off

I saw his HR/RBI totals and figured he had more WAR this year than Chase, I was mistaken

Wow, ty Rogers.

That was touching the zone?

Edit - Gameday said it was not overturned briefly.

Hell of a challenge. I thought they were gonna lose that one.

That’s was as close as can be.

He doesn't have it today. Going to need some luck to get through these innings.

Ya looks like it could be Newcombe's turn for a rough one. He hasnt really had many of them. Although neither ball was hit hard.
