Red Sox Offense CRUSHED The Rangers...BUT!!

[@Bondagefetishstore]

I have been advocating for a 6 man rotation for over a month now. Use Chriswell as the 6th man. Crawford and House are burnt out. It would do more harm to shut them down completely so limit their innings. The bullpen on the other hand is now a strength. Martin is going to be back Wednesday so someone will be sent to minors. Slaten should be back in 2 weeks. So both these players are fresh. Hopefully the people they sent down are getting rest. Weisert was spent. Most of the year he was pretty good so if the bullpen starts to get taxed. Rotate the players with Minor league options till the end of the season to keep them fresh. They also will get an extra man for the pitching staff on September 1st. That could be Liam Hendricks (If he is not up sooner.)

[@austin5019]

The Red Sox offense is absolutely amazing!!!

[@redseatradio]

Yeah they really have been

[@josephdubiel7129]

Offense wise I am thrilled. So many ways to beat the other teams. Our starting rotation definitely needs to be stabilized if possible. We need to quiet down these homers by other teams. I am not disappointed we didn't add Montgomery or Yamamoto to the team. Montgomery really isn't having a good year and Yamamoto seems pretty injury prone. I will give Breslow a "B" for his trade deadline moves. I like the two bullpen pieces of Sims and Garcia that we added. They might want to consider negotiating and extending them if they continue to do well if we can. They don't have to be mere rentals. Danny Jansen is kinda an under the radar pick. He has looked pretty good for us since getting here and adds another right handed bat. Lets do well vs the Royals tonight !!!! Go Sox!!! Great content young Corbin!!! Love what you're doing !!!! Between those interviews and content of these video's I nominate you for the sportscasters all star team !!!! Thanks, Joe. P.S. HOW BOUT THAT PERFORMANCE BY BIG MAPLE VS THE ROYALS TONIGHT FOLKS?????

[@kevindecoteau3186]

I really like/appreciate your take on this team, I feel like it "keeps me in the loop"

[@redseatradio]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@frankg2057]

Great take, Corbin! One of the things I have noticed, primarily from Houck, is that he is looking like he’s not comfortable on the mound. Now that is probably from the wear and tear of the season, but you can see that he’s obviously missing his spots. Another for me is that some are allowing too many walks to the 7, 8, and 9 guys. That’s been the straw that breaks them. I feel like instead of attacking them and challenging them, making them beat you, they have tried to nibble the corners too much. All in all though, I think this will be figured out by Bailey and the pitching staff, and the second wind will come as the season gets more interesting down the stretch. It’s better to slump now rather than in September or October! Cheers and Go Red Sox!

[@redseatradio]

Yeah it’s all about wear and tear right now tbh

[@rayr4320]

Paxton out dueling Singer was a huge win. Kansas city is vying with Boston for a wild slot, so it was a huge win. Paxton giving Boston a quality start is such a boost for the nullpen.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah that was a pretty important start

[@MrBacchus18]

At least we are still in the race better than I thought it would be

[@redseatradio]

For sure

[@SteveGee1986]

Criswell: They must move him back into the rotation.

[@redseatradio]

Could but that takes someone out of the bullpen that’s been struggling

[@etrin5714]

Nice series win. But it almost feels like we can't lose a game if want to keep up with the Royals & Twins who are just feasting on the White Sox & Tigers. The HRs the pitching staff is giving up is very concerning. They've given up 33 HRs since the AS break. Kutter has given up 12 HRs in his last 3 starts. Both the most in MLB. Bailey needs to adapt, Teams have definitely caught up to them.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah not great. And yeah it’s been brutal lately but at the same time they will be facing some better competition over the next couple of weeks

[@prodigyheat9578]

What’s crazy to me is that our best starting pitcher lately has been Nick Pivetta I never thought I would say that.

[@davidlamm1591]

Yah after AC went out to talk to him

[@redseatradio]

Yeah kind of wild haha. Bello had a strong start last time out too, maaaaybe

[@masonr5677]

[@Versatilty]

The problem is they can't pitch well and hit well at the same time?

It's the pitching approach. They throw way too many Sweepers. Especially to Lefties who are just sitting back and Launching the pitch into the stands.

[@rmcintire1087]

I think oddly enough the offense can continue to carry for a while. Especially if we get Casas back and possibly Grissom if he gets hot. I feel like Grissom may finish the year in AAA being as he has been on and off injured a lot this year. Hopefully Casas is able to come back sometime next week. I was thrilled for you to get to interview and meet him. Hopefully he knows you're founder and president of the Casas fan club. haha

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I could see them optioning him to give him some time. He’s still so young

[@josephmartel6032]

I wanna see a few more walks and some more stolen bases but I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen for the most part

[@redseatradio]

Hard to complain

[@ElliotHughes2010]

[@Bondagefetishstore]

Hopefully a sweep

[@RalphRomano-l5u]

The starting pitching particularly Kutter & Pivetta are proving to be what i thought they were nothing better then a #4/5 type starter. Back in April / May when most were singing their praises telling me i was wrong on them that i had to trust the process that Breslow & Bailey had worked with them and untapped some thing that they were much better then i was giving them credit for how’s that looking now. Back in 80 there was a HOF football coach of Giants / Patriots and while a different sport he correctly correlated “You are what the back of your baseball card saids you are “. Kutter and Pivetta are nothing more than #5 starters - no pitching coach can give them talent they don’t have !

[@diegobrandomtg]

Really needed a second starter at deadline. 6 man looks like a good option. Even if it’s a guy who’s gonna toss five homers, 1 freebie outta 6 is better than 2 freebies outta 5. Unsure who they stick in that slot.

[@redseatradio]

Kind of fair statement but ideally you’d wanna limit the stinkers as much as humanly possible. If you put someone out there you know is gonna suck, but the day before Houck has a rough outing things can snowball really fast

[@dennisbanks8606]

Early in the year i called Rafaela and Abreu budding stars and got called out for exaggerating but i felt they both were doing amazing as rookies and now they are like Casas a year ago , they are new stars of the future!

[@eddiegill]

I’d go with 6 man rotation

[@azex443]

I was at the game Saturday unfortunate that we lost and put us even more in a hole at 2.5 games back but at least we won the series!

[@tsid160]

Alex Cora likely will need to go with a six man rotation while relying more on his bullpen ... Our bullpen.definitely has not reached its peak and has the potential to quickly become a "lights out" staff ... The soon to be return of Chris Martin, Justin Slaten and possibly Liam Hendriks teaming up with Lucas Sims, Luis Garcia, Kenley Jansen, Zack Kelly, Brennan Bernardino and Josh Winckowski may possibly be the deciding factor in the Red Sox being able to play well into October ... Cora also taking a page from the Tampa Rays playbook by piecing together a few "bullpen games" down the home stretch might also make all the difference as well ...

[@dennisszantyr7636]

Will be interesting to see what the Red Sox do about the pitching. That being said Pivetta could have gotten the last out in the inning. Seemed watching the game replay there was some issue between Cora and Pivetta . Im sure that got addressed and its done. Could just be a little fatigue making nerves a little short. The offense is just amazing. KC is a big series you are on the money !! "Let's Go Red Sox!!!

[@redseatradio]

I am not sure that Pivetta was taken out strictly because of attitude

[@RickBarnett]

Doing well, next few series are going to be big. Pitching woes are from lack of experience from youngsters, meaning arm Fatigue. best way to fix it is going to the 6 man rotation, because if not, than you will have them giving up more homers and going less innings. I would put Criswell in as the 6th man and then figure out another long man besides Wincowski. Not sure if any arms down in Wooster are able to provide long relief, but I saw some of the Buffalo series and they said the Sox have the worst AAA relief staff right now, or one of the worse ones. We shall see what happens. Just need to take it one game/series at a time.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah you need to find a way to elevate some of the pressure on these arms

[@mykelengieza7057]

If we can sync up just in time for playoffs

[@erikjager4704]

I agree with about 70% of your video assessment. Who does Chris Martin replace? Martin should rehab at this point. Sogard should be used to give more time for Vaughn Grissom in Woosox. Liam+Tristan+Justin are at least 10-14 days away.

[@redseatradio]

I would say they option one of Booser, Kelly or someone else

[@petergarcia6645]

It's always good to win a series on the road against a good team. The series against the royals is going to be like playoff games. The royals are really good the twins seem like the team the sox will possibly pass however there's still loads of time. The pitching is the biggest concern hopefully they will hold up 🤞

[@redseatradio]

Yeah people said the Sox would have to catch the Mariners, and Royals earlier too. All I care about is that they are in front of them so you gotta beat them

[@petergarcia6645]

@@redseatradio I guess it's too soon to figure which team they have to pass the immediate issue is winning this series against the royals is going to be tough but I'm going to try to remain as positive as possible!

[@Bondagefetishstore]

So far the problem is winning at home

[@patrickreeves4650]

I still have very little confidence in our pitching. I feel like Houck, Crawford, and Bello are always going to give up 4-5 runs per game. Pivetta is a little better, but prone to a big inning. The pickups we got at the deadline are pretty below average guys too. Our offense is a little too streaky right now. We can put up a big inning, but more often than not we are leaving runners on the bases in scoring position. We gotta be more consistent. also...why is getting vaughn grissom back a thing? that guy is not going to be here long. a whole lotta could, and might's with grissom. at least hamilton hits...

[@redseatradio]

Eh the offense has been consistently good for awhile but the rotation yea it’s scary

[@stephencorsaro954]

Witt jr. is on fire. He's vulnerable up and in and down and out only ..and it's marginal. How the Sox pitching manages him will be the difference maker in this series..plus he's hitting.400+ at home.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah they have to find someway basically to keep runners off the bases when he’s up

[@traci635]

Abreu and Refsnyder played outstanding, expecially Wilyer after losing his Grandmother. Our offense is going to need all hands on deck, as our pitchers are wearing down and giving up too many long balls. Let's hope Paxton can come through with a great game to give our bullpen a rest. Criswell may need to be an opener or piggyback with say Crawford to keep our guys rested....

[@redseatradio]

Yeah it’s gonna be a whole lotta pressure here

[@Crosshair300]

If the pitching can figure it out, we will cruise into the playoffs

[@markmccarthy7887]

The offense is deep and athletic…still worried about us against left handed pitching. Definitely concerned about the rotation. Just how much would have a Cal Quantril or Lorenzen helped this club. I’m hoping that the bullpen depth will help these starters out. The addition of Sims And Garcia look to be brilliant adding Martin and hopefully Hendricks would be incredible

[@redseatradio]

Eh idk do those guys give you quality that you are gonna need

[@thienvu8120]

I'm in the 6 man rotation camp

[@brentbell7235]

I think Houck and Crawford are gassed. They have pitched a lot of innings above what they have done in the past. Maybe they shorten the game for Houck and Crawford… perhaps pair up Houck and Criswell, and Crawford and Winckowski. Maybe pull Houck and Crawford before they go off the rails.

[@redseatradio]

Could but that is also going to take 2 relievers essentially out of the bullpen, which leads to exact what we saw right after the all star break

[@brentbell7235]

@@redseatradio except that now the remaining six relievers are higher leverage types. Martin, Slaten, and eventually Hendricks working their way back. Problem is only Bernadino, Booser and Kelly amongst that group have minor league options… making rotating people more challenging.

[@metaldams78]

Getting gassed is most likely correct. This was predictable before the season began. I really think Bello will be the best starter going forward - due to him actually being a starter his whole career and the raw talent he has.

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

The way I see it is that we need to let the pitchers try and figure out what is going on? If Houck isn't ready to pitch that night, move him to the next game!

[@clarktaylor9803]

Also agree on Bello, he needs to step it up, we all know he’s great but he hasn’t been great so far

[@redseatradio]

Yep

[@ianANDtheLEYlines]

Wait what!? The games were blacked out for me, but on the highlights I watched it did not look like Cora pulled Pivetta because he was trying to conserve his arm. The highlight show Pivetta walking past everyone in the dugout saying nothing, throwing his pitch comm carelessly. All of this following Cora first talking to him in the 2nd(?) inning after Devers (?) couldn’t make a play and Pivetta sort of pouted and threw his glove! Did nesn not cover this? Post game with Cora? Pivetta was literally at 70 pitches when he was pulled. I genuinely worried they might cut him after I saw the highlights because it looked like a team culture infraction. Anyways, it’s also interesting because Aaron Boone literally just did a similar thing to Gleybor Torres, but they addressed it immediately after the game. Lastly, I am genuinely concerned that Houck, Crawford are just in a new territory of endurance. Just last week Even Garrit Cole misses a start because of arm fatigue. I wish the Sox were in a position to maybe let them rest longer than normal. I wouldn’t mind seeing Winchowski or Bailey Horn start a game a pitch a few innings

[@redseatradio]

Nah I don’t think he was pulled for a bad attitude

[@dennisbanks8606]

Pivetta was pulled as punishment for his dramtics pn Devrrs error. Nick was pissed and i get it. Cora could have let him keep pitching and just dogged him more in the dugout but Cora sent a message. Devers is leader and our team doesn't all cry everytime you give up a homer soo. It is what it is.

[@jackm4457]

The starting rotation is so cooked, that, in order to fix it. Breslow would have had to trae for the 1999 edition of Pedro and the 2001 version of Randy Johnson. If Cora is able to take this team to a wild card spot, he becomes the John J. McGraw of the new millenium.

[@stephencorsaro954]

Sox starters are losing focus, most likely from mental fatigue, sporadically. This is the problem with plus inning ramp up in the early years with MLB starting pitching over all. It's how management can help them overcome. Pivetta and newly added Paxton are the only starters with any experience in this area. I'm really interested to see if the others can make the mental adjustments. This should tell a lot in the next 30 games. Hitting isn't the problem. Pitching and fielding are. If Crawford, Houke and Bello can get it together the Sox could make a run at the division. Dog days are a gut check.

[@redseatradio]

Not sure it’s focus but mental fatigue is definitely a factor

[@robertsomogy3185]

Corbin there's a major question? What seems to have happened between Cora and Pivetta? Pivetta was removed after 4 2/3 innings. Why would or did Cora do that? Pivetta's reaction was warranted in my mind. Whay do you think?

I think Cora went out there and straightened them up. I think he was more so taken out because the bullpen was rested and the rotation is on fumes
