Verdugo is very likable, great fit in Boston from what I’ve seen which isn’t a lot.
Story looks like Rich Peverley.

Glad they are winning, and if nothing else, we can laugh/cry at the hitting futility of the great Bobby D.

Correction... we had to pay a $50,000 fee to the Yankees.
Still, seems like a pretty good deal.

Play ball? Return of Lowell Spinners a possibility
Over the past week fans across the country have flocked to their local pro ballpark, packing the stands for Opening Day to celebrate baseball’s return.
During an interview with WCAP 980 on Tuesday morning, Meehan spoke at length about the LeLacheur Park situation and said it would cost $40 million to bring the park up to professional standard. Even just fixing the park to a degree where it would be suitable for general use would cost $6-7 million, and if action isn’t taken soon that number could potentially double by this time next year.
“I toured it recently and it’s in far worse shape than even I thought,” Meehan said on the Merrimack Valley Radio in the Morning show. “No way that stadium could be ready by 2023. That stadium is in tough, tough shape.”

They win and you scan through to find something to complain about
Dalbec 0-3 no strikeouts and good in field
This is where your brain lands.
Don’t worry about Dalbec he is streaky
Last August
Since August 1 (35 games): .314/.391.735, 1.127 OPS, six doubles, two triples, 11 HR, 32 RBI, 11 walks, 31 strikeouts

Was he left in a basket like a baby?

I don't worry about Dalbec. As sure as the sun rises, he will suck at the plate, and be marginal in the field. Btw, marginal is a huge improvement for him. You would rather I focused on Gordon Gekko" Bloom?

Wait ? You mean Chiam Bloom was the guy who made the call on him? This was a Chaim move ?Pretty Much!
They chose to keep Brett Gardner on the roster over Garrett.
Striking out the side on eight pitches?
The new normal is here! With updated pitch clock rules in the Minors this year, Triple-A Worcester starter Darwinzon Hernandez struck out three batters on eight pitches. The rule states that with no batters on base, a pitcher much deliver the ball within 14 seconds or else an automatic ball is called. Batters much be in the box, ready to swing with nine seconds left on the timer or else an automatic strike is called.
After Hernandez struck out Lehigh Valley's Will Coffey on three pitches, the Red Sox hurler threw a called strike to Drew Maggi. The IronPigs' No. 7 hitter was then not ready for the pitch with nine seconds on the clock, according to home plate umpire Edwin Moscoso, so the count became 0-2. Maggi then took a called strike three to complete the at-bat. Austin Wynns stepped up and took the frame's only ball before a called strike and a swinging strike. With a 1-2 count, Wynns was called for an automatic strike, which sealed the punchout for Hernandez. Worcester went on to win 13-1.
The exact same situation happened on Friday when Double-A Hartford pitcher Nick Kennedy struck out the side on eight pitches, including a walk, plus two automatic strikes.
Minor Leaguers had a two-week grace period to adjust to the new pitch clock, but that ended after play on Thursday. The decreased pitch clock was tested in the California League and the Arizona Fall League last year, before getting added to all four full-season levels for 2022. When there is at least one runner on base, the clock increases to 19 seconds at Triple-A and 18 seconds for Double-A, High-A and Single-A. Relatedly, pitchers are only allowed two pickoff attempts or step-offs each plate appearance. The penalty is effectively the same as a balk.
Yup!
Rule 5 draft pick. Yankees left him exposed last year and chose to keep Brett Gardner on the roster. We picked him up. He had TJ surgery a year before that and was deemed a low risk high reward situation. We scooped him up and the rest is history. Yanks gave up on the kid for Brett f***ing Gardner and we have reaped the rewards.
Isnt all this person does is COMPLAIN. I wonder if this person is married. Gotta feel bad for the spouse.

The Three Types of Complaining
Studies reveal when people complain and what happens next.
www.psychologytoday.com
It is useful to understand that complaining (and, by extension, complainers) come in different types. There are those who never seem to be satisfied. These are known as chronic complainers. They have a tendency to ruminate on problems and to focus on setbacks over progress. Some research suggests that making a habit of complaining can “re-wire” the brain so that those particular thinking orientations become ingrained. It is possible to re-wire this re-wiring to make it more positive, of course, but chronic complainers probably don’t think it would work all that well.

It’s funny that you complain about Felger in one thread and act like him in another.

Today would be a good time to rise above the problem of chronic complaining.

Sending Dalbec to anywhere else would definitely be "solving a problem." Instrumental complaining at its finest.

Well, he hasn't been great this year, but he's still got a career OPS+ of 110, so I'm not sure where futility comes into play.Glad they are winning, and if nothing else, we can laugh/cry at the hitting futility of the great Bobby D.
Baseball has changed. The league average was .244 last year. Dalbec hit .240 with plus power. He's fine.
