OT Adams (new guy) gets through the 8th on six pitches...oops, talking Padres...
I used to sort of root for the Dodgers cuz of Lasorda, but a few years ago I went to Disneyland, and people were so rude to my kid wearing a Padre hat that I will never ever ever root for them pricks again...Wanted one for Dave Roberts (who will always be dear to me, I will never forget THE STEAL), who LA wanted fired, but I am over it now...eff LA...
Hoeing, another new aquisition, just threw an 8 pitch 9th...Sweet!...Game over...
Gotta be fun for the new guys to get into a game right away in front of the new home town crowd...

AFter taking first 2 against KC, Sox odds of making playoffs are now over 50% per fangraphs at 52.3% www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-oddsDeadline is looking better now that we have some time to assess. Lucas Sims has pitched 2.1 scoreless from us, and he had a rough start to the year (high ERA in APril), since then its been in the low 2s, so he looks like a guy we can use in close games. Connor wong struggled leading up to deadline and has continued to, now I understand why they paid a decent amount (prospect wise) for the catcher (D. Jansen). We have Casas and even Liam Hendricks coming back soon. Prospects looking good too with the big 3 (Mayer, Anthony, Teel) all having OPS around.850. The new guy we drafted, which many considered a steel slots in as prospect #4 behind big 3. Campbell (#5 prospect) continues his breakout with an OPS north of 1 in AA

Three here glad you post only 1 lives near Boston the Cape Man. On Wong. He's 9 for 24 in August. One of the best defensive catchers in baseball. He does need a rest from time to time from behind the plate. Jansen was an upgrade over McGuire especially on defense and is a dead fly ball pull hitter who will benefit from the Green Monster . Cases is hitting around .300 in Worchester and Wong can spell him. Right now we need only a middle infielder so Raffa can stay in CF. Sogard has played well but i expect Campbell or Mayer to get a shot next month. Hamilton is decent at times but still needs some discipline at the plate. Smith who's finally hitting might be the odd man out. We made some good moves still need a starting pitcher Bello isn't nearly and ace and Crawford and Houck have been spotty. 30 to 1 odds the Sox win the east. I put 1k on them. Do i expect to win? No . Am i enjoying the season ? Yep. We've got a trio of youngsters that can fly on the bases. Henry and Bleslow arn't the complete idiots that many made them out to be. Cora obviously knew that he could have made more money elsewhere/

The train might end up costing the Yanks 303 mil this year. We'll see if they can buy a championship the Mets are failing to. Two facts that seem to escape the Sox fans here. Henry has won 4 championships with the Sox in 20 odd years. WYC has won only 2 in 20 some years. That's twice as many for most of the Sox fans who i suppose can't count. Want to know something? We have more Sox fans in Virginia than Mass has. How's that work? Were just dumb Southerners with shitty High Schools and Universities? We can count however. 4 is greater than 2

Red Sox Place Tyler O’Neill On 10-Day IL, Activate Chris Martin By Nick Deeds |
The Red Sox announced a series of roster moves this evening, headlined by the club placing outfielder Tyler O’Neill on the 10-day injured list due to a left leg infection. The move is retroactive to August 4. Replacing O’Neill on the active roster is infielder Enmanuel Valdez, who has been recalled to the big league roster, and the Red Sox also activated right-hander Chris Martin from the 15-day IL. Lefty Cam Booser was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Martin.
O’Neill, 29, was acquired from the Cardinals over the offseason and has enjoyed an excellent campaign during his first season in Boston. In 342 trips to the plate this season, the 29-year-old has slashed an excellent .268/.357/.544 (142 wRC+) with 16 doubles and 22 homers. While he’s striking out at a hefty 31.9% clip, he’s paired those strong power numbers with a solid 11.1% walk rate that has given him a more well-rounded profile than he flashed in his career-best 2021 campaign when he crushed 34 homers and posted a 143 wRC+ but walked at a clip of just 7.1%.
The slugger’s performance this year seems likely to line the pending free agent up for hefty raise in free agency this winter, although one red flag for O’Neill has been his frequent trips to the shelf. After suffering hamstring, back, foot, and shoulder injuries during his final two seasons with St. Louis, he’s now made three trips to the shelf with the Red Sox this year: once for a concussion in April, once due to knee inflammation in May, and now today’s most recent ailment that manager Alex Cora described to reporters (including Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe) as a worsening infection on his left leg that has caused swelling.
The silver lining in O’Neill’s repeated trips to the IL this year is that they’ve all been fairly short-lived, and Cora indicated that this one should be more of the same as he’s likely to be activated once eligible to return next week. In the meantime, the Red Sox figure to turn to some combination of Jarren Duran, Wilyer Abreu, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Rob Refsnyder in the outfield. With Rafaela frequenting the outfield in recent days, Valdez should help to shore up the club’s middle infield mix alongside David Hamilton, Nick Sogard, and Romy Gonzalez. The 25-year-old enjoyed a strong rookie season in 2023 but has taken a step back this year with a .226/.282/.402 slash line in 182 trips to the plate at the big league level.
As for Martin, the right-hander’s return to action is welcome news for a beleaguered Red Sox bullpen that has been second-worst in the majors since the start of July, ahead of only the White Sox. The 38-year-old veteran sports a solid 3.42 ERA with a matching 3.40 FIP in 26 1/3 innings of work this year and is coming off an even better season in 2023 where he dominated to the tune of an eye-popping 1.05 ERA in 55 appearances. Adding Martin to the late-inning mix to be the primary set-up man for closer Kenley Jansen should further shore up a bullpen that got reinforcements in the form of Lucas Sims and Luis Garcia prior to the trade deadline. He’ll take the roster spot of Booser, who heads to Triple-A to become the club’s top depth option with an excellent 2.77 ERA and 2.99 FIP in 39 innings of work this year.
While the bullpen will hopefully be revitalized by the return of Martin, Cora suggested to reporters today (including Abraham) that the Red Sox intend to skip right-hander Nick Pivetta’s next start. While the veteran righty doesn’t appear to be injured, Cora indicated that he’s “not responding well” coming out of his last start and that the club had some concerns about a dip in his velocity. With a day off scheduled tomorrow, the Red Sox will be able to utilize the rest of their rotation on regular rest without needing to call up another arm to take the spot on Pivetta. The righty has a middling 4.44 ERA through 18 starts this year thanks primarily due to a trio of brutal outings his last three times out that have seen him surrender 13 runs (12 earned) in 14 innings of work while serving up six home runs.

Red Sox ‘Fully Convinced’ All-Star Infielder Will Return From Injury This Season
"Cora said he's now fully convinced Trevor Story will play for the Red Sox this year," Cotillo said. "Story will take BP on the field Monday in what Cora said is a "huge step" for him."

Firing Dombrowski remains biggest Red Sox mistake of last five yearsBoston has made the playoffs once since Dombrowski's departure in 2019.By John Tomase, Red Sox Insider •
Baseball's new-school GMs are cut from the same cloth, kinda literally. Their standard outfits -- chinos or dark jeans, team-issued pullover or generic half-zip, dressy sneakers, sunglasses perched atop their heads -- scream "I AM IN CHARGE AND PROFESSIONAL BUT I AM ALSO A FAN AND CASUAL. WHAT IS UP, MY HOMIES?"
If you can't differentiate Jeff Greenberg from Mike Elias from David Stearns, that's OK. There's more where they came from, because the Ivy League pumps out efficiency-obsessed sabermetricians as vigorously as rapacious McKinsey consultants.
These GMs or High Potentates of Baseball Operations or Presidents of Whatever don't just dress the same, they march in lockstep, too. It's how so many of them can annually offer the underwhelming Andrew Heaney the same contract, or why half the league has abandoned the traditional thumping DH in favor of "versatility," or what we once called "a utility infielder." (The Rangers have used 17 different DHs this year alone!)
These execs fetishize data, care only about numbers "under the hood," and have poured more money into R&D than your average cartel.
But there's one man who bucks the trends, sartorial and otherwise, and it's safe to say Red Sox fans didn't know how much they were going to miss him when the team said sayonara in September of 2019.
Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski is a throwback. He travels with the team so he can have a constant feel for the pulse of the clubhouse, generally wears a jacket and tie, and is as likely to file information on index cards as spreadsheets.
His old-school approach of identifying needs and then filling them with money and/or prospects but without regret resulted in the most dominating Red Sox team ever.
The champagne on that 2018 World Series championship hadn't even dried, however, before owner John Henry decided he wanted a piece of that small-market action. Why spend aggressively when, with some smarts, you could pay half as much for a roster that might even occasionally sniff the playoffs?
So out went Dombrowski and in came Chaim Bloom. And while the well-meaning chief baseball officer certainly pumped the farm system full of A-1 position prospects, he neglected the big league club under the naïve belief that ownership would tolerate multiple last-place finishes for the hypothetical promise of a better day.
They stood by their man until they didn't, and now it's Craig Breslow's turn. The Red Sox are better, but they're still probably going to miss the playoffs for the fifth time in six years, partly because they neglected the roster this winter.
Meanwhile, Dombrowski's Phillies have rocketed to the most wins in the National League and first place in the brutal National League East. They're on pace for 95 wins and a third straight playoff berth, their winning percentages increasing over each of Dombrowski's five seasons.
The Phillies aren't merely a force, they're a phenomenon. Whereas Boston has devoted much of its Red Sox coverage since he left to whether anyone cares about baseball anymore, Dombrowski has overseen a Philly renaissance. Attendance at Citizens Bank Park has more than doubled since 2021 and will top 3 million for the second straight year, creating one of baseball's most significant home field advantages.
Phillies games resemble rock concerts, the crowds raucous and intense, the atmosphere a mix of birthday bash and fight club. We used to know that feeling, but now celebrate that Fenway is mostly filled with Red Sox fans again and not awash in visiting colors.
If that's progress, it's depressing.
Dombrowski has given Philly a team to cheer, built around an enviable mix of free-agent smashes, homegrown talent, and complementary parts. He recognizes that fans form bonds with stars, whereas the Red Sox lamely insist the paying customers just want a winner. Perhaps one begets the other and they actually prefer both?
While it's easy to say the Red Sox lost market share because of three last-place finishes in four years, it's also true that fans haven't yet forgiven the illogical trade of former MVP Mookie Betts, nor the follow-up lowballing of franchise shortstop Xander Bogaerts. The Red Sox have spent the last five years stripping the roster of recognizable names.
Meanwhile, Dombrowski targets talent without any mention of the godforsaken margins prized by the modern exec. He inherited franchise cornerstone Bryce Harper, a player Red Sox ownership almost certainly wouldn't have paid, as well as All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto. He augmented them in free agency with superstar shortstop Trea Turner, ace Zack Wheeler, and old fiend Kyle Schwarber.
The knock on Dombrowski in Boston was that he sold out the farm, but he left behind more talent than we credited him for, from All-Stars Jarren Duran and Tanner Houck, to exciting rookie Ceddanne Rafaela, to slugging first baseman Triston Casas and promising right-hander Brayan Bello.
His Phillies are winning with homegrown players, too, including All-Stars Aaron Nola, Alec Bohm, and Ranger Saurez. All three predated Dombrowski's arrival, but he extended Nola, stuck by Bohm, and developed Suarez. Meanwhile, he also added solid outfielder Brandon Marsh in a win-win trade with the Angels for catcher Logan O'Hoppe, and recognized All-Star potential in former Red Sox reliever Matt Strahm.
In the process, he has done what Henry used to care about, which is put his team at the center of the baseball universe.
It's enough to make you wonder what the Red Sox would look like if Dombrowski had stayed in power. Betts would still be here. Wheeler might be the staff ace. Whatever prospects filled the pipeline, they'd be augmenting the roster, not tasked with saving it.
Actually, it's not hard to envision this alternate reality at all. Just look at the Phillies, and imagine cheering for that every night while the nattily attired Dombrowski oversees it all from his box high above home plate.

Well, geez, thanks so much for posting that...err, as if it was not bad enough, I did not realize that Dombrowski is the GM of the Phillies...errr...
I just came here to comment on how we are totally sucking and have lost five in a row and 7 of the last 10...spiraling down the toilet...dang...
Rooting for anyone that plays the Yankmees...second best team money can buy....Dodgers probably the first...pricks...
Baseball is the only one of the four major sports without a hard salary cap, but it is supposed to be the 'great American sport'...and it is, except for the POS commissioner...if any other team tried to push that Otahni contract though it woulod have been vetoed...
Can't wait for some basketball...Go Celtics!...

Theres a lot I agree with here, maybe even most of it. But how did Dombrowski know which players to keep (both with the sox and the phils)? Was it by saying damn the analytics? Was it because he's old or "old-school" ? I doubt it. Letting Dombrowski go was a massive mistake, no doubt. Trading Betts was as well, no doubt. Dombrowski wouldnt have traded betts- okay , ill give you that. But what makes Dombrowski special isnt that hes old or refuses to embrace analytics, its that hes aggressive and fearless. Many GMs are scared to trade a prospect because of what he might become. Or trigger-shy on an acquisition. Thats not Dombrowski, he figures out what his teams need, and he gets em. ANd hes also really good at knowing his keepers. So I agree with most of the article, and if you line up Dombrowski against a Bloom/Breslow, sure you can see his philosophy is better suited for a big market team. But its not because the younger GMs are looking at numbers too much. Its because the younger guys are scared money. They dont want to give up a prospect or cut into their financial flexibility or that kind of stuff. What makes Dombrowski special, to me, is his confidence and aggressiveness.

Betts didn't give a rats ass about staying in Boston. He was offered a fair deal.
Mookie says he has no regrets about rejecting a reported 10-year, $300 million offer from the Red Sox .
Now he's 32 years old and is signed till he's 40 at around 30 mil. He batted over 300 only one out of 5 years in LA.
He's been moved to SS because he lost speed and range in the outfield.
Dave Dombroski has a career. 497 winning %.. He has just a .533% in Phila He's won 2 World Series in 35 years.
He also traded away 27 prospects granted most were trash but few were not. He did draft Casas Bello and Rafaella i'll give him some credit. Mayer whom he drafted is still a tossup.
I'll agree with Drew. He's aggressive and has confidence.
Is he better than Bloom? Yep. Is he better than Breslow? That remains to be seen.

Labor Day! Whoo hoo!...Heading out for a quick surf, water is toasty out here...then back for some baseball!..
Sox keep sinking, dang...But the Cardinals beat up on the Yankees 14-7, and Baltimore, my new best friends, won so only 1/2 a game back...
Padres won and Dodgers lost, so that is good out here...
Football starts in a week, but who cares?...No Brady, no Belichik, no hope...
