@EdHand89 @BradleyGrinnen You're forgiven. But losing those guys for a significant period of time is a very defensible point to make in defense of Breslow.

I’ve watched about 6,000 Red Sox games since we got cable tv in the late 80’s. Listened to 100s more on AM radio before that.

@gwanders @BradleyGrinnen Forgive me if I'm not impressed with "in the wild card race" in May while the American League is notably awful.

As far as I can tell its;
-He's done a good job with the pitching.
-It's not his fault all the hitters are underperforming.
-The alternatives are even worse.
Please let me know if I forgot any.

What’s the argument against firing Craig Breslow?
English
@EdHand89 @BradleyGrinnen Are you trying to tell me they aren't firmly in the Wild Card race had those guys been healthy and performing to reasonable expectations?
English
@gwanders @BradleyGrinnen They were getting their ass kicked when those three guys were healthy too.
English
@EdHand89 @BradleyGrinnen There has to be a way to articulate what losing your starting SS, anticipated franchise cornerstone, and Cy Young contender can mean to a baseball team that everyone can understand.
English
@BradleyGrinnen Not really relevant to your point, but generally I hate the term false flag. Too many people use it when something doesn't support the narrative they already decided on.
English
The Red Sox are making history with their first 3 hitters in the lineup striking out for the 3rd consecutive time to start the game. No team has done that since 1901. @NESN booth is all over it.
Drew Rasmussen also has a career-high with 12 Ks.
Downright embarrassing.
English
@tylermilliken_ Duran is far and away the most pathetic ballplayer I've ever seen.
English
It's impressive how hard of a watch the 2026 Red Sox are.
English
Wrote out some of my thoughts on the how the Red Sox should approach the rest of the 2026 season. I don't really trust Bresbot to make good trades, but there's no fun in writing about that.
Beyond the Monster@BeyondtheMnstr
"Sneak into the playoffs and anything can happen" is not a team-building philosophy. The Red Sox aren't bad enough to rebuild. They're not good enough to contend. It's time to stop chasing 84 wins and start building a one that can win 95. The latest from @EdHand89 beyondthemonster.substack.com/p/baseball-pur…

@gwanders @tylermilliken_ @alexspeier i would fucking wear you out. enjoy watching this dog and just sticking up for them at every turn, pal
English
Marcelo Mayer woke up with discomfort in his upper back/neck and has been scratched from the lineup, per @alexspeier.
Not great considering he was just starting to find something at the plate with his new mechanics.
English
@tylermilliken_ @alexspeier Anyone think to tell him to play through it? Send his little ass down to Worcester to ride the fucking bus. See how much discomfort that gives him. What a pussy
English
English
@tylermilliken_ @alexspeier What's the betting line that he was actually out with Roman all night in the Bay? Tough playing game days after that epic night.
English
Me and Manny have much in common it would seem.
Baseball Is Dead@baseballisdead_
Manny Machado has beef with the nerds 🤓
English
Don't get me wrong, I want the Red Sox to be good. I want to enjoy watching them. I'd rather they just commit to selling early and come back stronger next year. The core is fine, they just need to add a few veteran leaders and you can do that in free agency if you are actually willing to overspend a little bit.
English
There are a lot of people to be pissed off at within FSG, but I have nothing but respect for the job Chad Tracy has done. The Red Sox have given him an impossible assignment that he's handled gracefully thus far.
NESN@NESN
Chad Tracy on Payton Tolle ⚾️ "He's a fun guy when he's taking the mound... (Tolle is) Another guy we feel very strongly is going to give us a very good chance to win the game."

I've come around on Mookie's relationship with the city of Boston.
Used to think he'd never ever have extended with Boston, but he says he would've signed long term for the right, respectable offer and I see no reason to doubt him. Henry has never paid top dollar, but we're expected to believe the impetus was on Mookie?
English
@Jared_Carrabis Thank God the forefathers of the fanbase weren't a bunch of whiners and quitters.
English
This is the most boring Red Sox team of all-time.
English
Are there actually Breslow apologists?
The Exhausted Sox Fan@ExhaustedSoxFan
At what point do Craig Breslow apologists stop projecting and start evaluating what has actually happened?
English
Often times, Dan's just ruffling feathers for love of the game. In this case, he's not even saying anything new. If anything, it's kinder and gentler than most.
Crazy times we're living in.
Dan Shaughnessy@Dan_Shaughnessy
Red Sox score one run again. Lose again. Everyday lineup is one of the worst in franchise history. Fans deserve so much better.
English
@tylermilliken_ @timbhealey They took his recommendation to fire Cora. He's closer to an extension than getting fired.
English
The Red Sox are not considering firing chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, a team source told @timbhealey.
English
@EdHand89 Theo's executive tree rivals Belichick's coaching tree. The idea he keeps in touch with old friends and still has relationships with front offices doesn't surprise me at all. Bad contracts thing sounds like a crock of shit.
Kick 'em when they're down, though.
English
I for one think that people will be pleased to learn that Theo is personally trying to help!
Savage@Savageboston
A member of the Boston Red Sox ownership group has personally been calling teams to try to trade for a right handed bat. He’s telling teams they’re willing to take on a bad contract. Per: @Buster_ESPN The Red Sox ownership has been described as “desperate”.
