If Vasquez, could handle it, I guess that they thought a real IFer could handle it. It was about getting a better bat in the lineup. He was just fine in the field.
    Chavis might be able to handle the job just fine. I'm not saying he can't.

    Yes, which is code for 'panic'.

    Yes, we posters do.

    It's what we do here.

    There wasn't much else to talk about.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Depends on what he's willing to sign for.

    I'd offer him a minor league contract. Being as he just opted out of one, I'm not sure he'd be willing to sign another.

    Maybe even a min ML contract with incentives.

    I could be on board with that.

    To state the obvious, our offense is not doing enough to win games and is almost as big a problem as our pitching. The first game we faced good pitching and our offense had issues with Bogaets providing most of our offensive threat. Colten was our Achillies heel.

    In the second game each of our table setters were each on base three times and our Newbie had two hits, includiing a HR and yet we were only able to score 2. JBJ was 0 for as usual. We need a spark from somewhere else in the lineup and are not getting it. The good work done in Tampa is largely undone and we had better watch out or we will go into May in the cellar.

    It's pretty crazy that the World Champs and 119 game winners are 24 games in and have not had one easy win yet.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    I would argue with your use of the word panic, more on a linguistic level than anything. I don't think a decisional flip-flop necessarily equates to panic. It certainly indicates some disorder in the process. But to me panic is a bit more extreme, it's people running out of a building that just caught fire.

    Eh. Do they even need to?

    We’re getting throttled by tanking teams...

    I would question a couple of moves Cora made last night . Pinch hitting Pearce for Devers . Pearce has been looking absolutely lost at the plate . Leaving Lakins in . Should have used Barnes and tried to keep it a one run game . As it turned out , one run would have been enough , but you don't know that at the time .

    Pearce has hit lefties well throughout his career. It's a totally defensible move. He's not going to hit .133 all year.

    The starting pitching has settled in. Offense is quite dead.
