They really messed up at the deadline. Relying on Engel to get healthy seems like a horrible decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit for power or get on base, I really don't care which. But right now he's hitting like a sub replacement level bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After landing Tepera, another bat was clearly their biggest need. Deciding to push their chips in for Kimbrel over Bryant was an egregious mistake in the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think had we hired Hinch like Hahn wanted to, we'd probably have Grossman as an everyday corner OFer. But we might also not have Lynn or Hendriks had we gone that route.

SpringfieldFan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Oh well, they are resting up, keeping the powder dry. Just wait - If the Sox win it all we will be able to fondly recall and share with our grandkids the details of what an exciting summer postseason we enjoyed.

It's all about results over process in the Sox situation, but if you gave the Sox a redo (certainly) on the Kimbrel trade they'd take it in a millisecond.

We're one of the worst teams at scoring late in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
