Imagine being a doomer about the Red Sox right now because they lost the last few games as if they haven’t been 32-8 in the last 40. Yall need to chill, it’s baseball. You literally cannot win them all, be happy with the turnaround not spoiled
@Nyanasaur Trading a sub 2 ERA closer (while on a great team run too) is a wild take. He’s also playing hurt so cut him some slack. And yes the defense is actually doing its job this season, kinda the point when Bres pivots to pitching and defense
The nerds can tell you they believed in this turnaround all along, but they're full of shit when you've got guys who were brought in from the shadow realm hitting game-tying 2-run bombs vying for 12 straight wins. Nobody. And I mean nobody. Saw this coming. This is demon magic.
@Nyanasaur Dude is a defense first player and sometimes the bat show ups. Not everyone is a 5 tool all star. It sure how his talented is wasted winning gold gloves and for a cheap contract too. Really don’t understand what the big deal is. Dude shows up and catches the ball that’s his job
@Ivdown12@JordanLeandre55 I’ve heard plenty, plenty of people tell me Kenley shouldn’t go in just for the save number 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ so naturally I question Chapman too
How does he have 5 gold gloves is he’s so bad at defense then?
@Ivdown12@JordanLeandre55 When there’s a strong narrative that being in the top all time save leaders doesn’t warrant a HOF spot, I find that pretty equivocal to Perez not getting in. If Salvy wasn’t any good why does he have all the silver sluggers and gold gloves along with WS MVP and a Clemente award
@AlexDevMLB@JordanLeandre55 And hasn’t ABS pretty much cancelled out framing now? You can’t frame a pitch an inch off the plate anymore without it being challenged. And the umps have to be more accurate and accountable now too
@JordanLeandre55 I think basing it solely off war actually really widens the net, especially if we aren’t considering awards. What’s the point of giving them out and making the recognitions then? The awards, what you do for the community and your team, all of that matters too
