2024 Red Sox 69 Games In (Copy)

Wow. Not last place. The Rays will recover to a point like they always do and the Blue Jays are looking at blowing it up and choosing between Vladdy and Bo to extend one and trade one. Then the Red Sox standing right in the middle with a ceiling of 3rd place. Simply put, they have no business competing with New York and Baltimore as far as the division. Wild Card however, that gets a little more interesting. That will depend on the X-Factor teams in the Royals and Astros. Yeah, Astros. Didn’t think I'd say that this year…

John Henry. The most hated man in Boston. Scratch any NHL or NBA player. Scratch any Yankee player. This man right here, is the most hated man in Boston at this moment in time.

Why? Simple. He and this group did not allow the organization to put their best effort into making a winning team. Weapons there, playing at a decent level where it’s watchable, a Cy Young contender, bats going good, bullpen not horrible like in years past, and if they were able to sign one or two players the top seed of the AL East could have been open.

But no. Even Ken Rosenthal said that John Henry doesn’t realize how smart the fans are. Higher prices, more BS, no title ambitions, and sell the team chants.

Positives -

Devers is still the man!

Houck will have no more shouting to go to the bullpen.

Crawford finally found his grove in the rotation.

Tyler O'Neil has been great so far.

Duran is the center fielder to stay.

The bad -

Offense needs to string more hits together. Odd Stat line, Tyler O'Neil has 12 Home Runs and only 22 RBIs. Very odd line.

The ugly -

John Henry. Simple. What’s the plan dude? Fans want to know. Figure it out!
