Someone's gotta think of the poor millionaire's feelings...

You act as if Yoshida is the one demanding that people start bullying the kid to give the ball back, which he's not. It's the bobos like Carrabis, Barstool, and the other dummies on the internet who are doing it. Yoshida has been nothing but diplomatic in asking for it so he could give it to his mom back in Japan to hold on to. I don't think he's being unreasonable or a monster with that request. The Red Sox haven't called for a harassment campaign of this poor kid and the family either.


In any event, I see both sides of the argument for those that are being reasonable and rational for what is a minor to nothing issue; rather than a bunch of terminally online losers who think trying to socially shame and strong arm a kid into handing back what is a really special ball. I would like to think there would be a happy medium where the kid can get an autographed ball and the bat Yoshida hit the home run with as a fair exchange, but then I remember that it is 2023. Asking for compromise is a herculean task.

John Henry as he sees money in merch sales leave his wallet that should be going towards shoes for Linda:

Maybe we judged him too soon. Struck out the side after walking the first two.

But maybe the Tigers just suck too
Tigers have to have a bottom 5 lineup in baseball. Something called Eric Haase hitting in front of 85 year old Cabrera.
 

McGarnagle

Yes.

Still early, small sample size, but not getting the production from Casas that I was hoping for.

John Henry deserves more blame than even Dombrowski for Sale. Henry has proven he's fine letting big free agents go but he signed off on the Sale deal? Everyone knew it was a mistake at the time.

Can we Rusney Castillo Sale? I would rather watch Chaim's middling prospects at this point.

Yep, too many people were counting Casas as a slam dunk contributor including Chaim Bloom.

Hell baby
I’ll wait until it warms up but I’ve never seen a pitcher throw so many meatballs like Sale has to begin this year


Excellent baserunning Kikè

I don't think Mookie wanted to be here regardless but if they didn't give Sale that extension they theoretically could've given him a more competitive offer and the optics of him eventually leaving wouldn't have been so bad. And they likely could've gotten Bogaerts done well in advance of him hitting UFA.

In retrospect that contract has really harmed this org in a big way

Cabrera vs Sale in the battle of bad DD deals and our guy didn’t win smdh

Since Doogie just got a ground ball base hit to right, it sparked my curiosity. I've done more radio listening than tv watching so far this season so can't really answer, have you guys noticed the shift ban having a tangible effect? Like are there a couple singles to right a game that make you think "last year, that's an out"?

And go Raffy
