makes sense to keep him stretched out

Brasier survived another round

I just don't understand with Brasier.

He's like a parasite toy can ver get rid of.

Boston can get nuked and he’d be the only person to survive, he’s as indestructible as he is hittable

Sox hung with then pretty well until our best hitter couldn't capitalize with RISP.


I can guarantee we're not getting swept by Tampa.

I can guarantee we score a run.

That's as far as I'll go.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Third most runs in the league so far.

Last night's leadoff hitter is now hitting .097 and the 3 hitter is at .189.

Bottom 3 all below the Mendoza line also.

Sure, but I'm just saying it's hard to complain about the production so far. Plus they haven't played enough to know much of anything yet. And pitching tends to be ahead of the offense in April, when scoring is lower compared to the summer months because of the weather.

 

[CDJ]

Losing Duvall hurts because he’s a primary power source for the lineup. The offense needs to play smart baseball and manufacture some runs with him out.

It’s nice to see the starting pitching improve the second time through. Bullpen has been pretty good all year. Just need some guys in the lineup like Turner and Arroyo to start hitting- track record indicates they will. Turner also had a slow start last year before being arguably the best hitter in baseball from July on

First time rocking the road greys.

I see they dropped the hanging Sox patch to make way for the advertisement.

f***ers

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

McClanahan is my favorite for the cy young this year. Runs are at a premium tonight.

He blew Devers away.

This defense saves NOTHING. I am sick and tired of it. PUT FRIGGIN HERNANDEZ IN CF WHERE HE BELONGS AND GET A LEGIT SS. For gods sake.

These guys Bloom and even Cora drive me crazy.

pain

No breaks!

They have legit SS, they’re just both on the IL





Minor news because I never envisioned him making it after the last few years but Durbin Feltman was released

 

[McGarnagle]

Whitlock switched to #22? Cool that he's getting a real number.

You know what fascinates me, nobody has worn #21 since Roger Clemens left in 1996. It's weird because on one hand his accomplishments here merit number retirement but the acrimony in how he left and publicly handled himself after leaving makes it impossible for the organization to honor him, so it's in this kind of semi-taboo untouchable space where nobody dares go near it.

Lots of players, both good and replacement level JAGs have worn Nomar's #5. Manny's #24 has been worn twice since he left, Schilling's #38 is in regular rotation, even Kutter Crawford took Mookie's old number. But Clemens' number is untouchable.

Only other guys who seem to be in reserve are Varitek and Wakefield's #33 and #49, since they were franchise legends who everyone respects greatly but don't necessarily merit retirement based on the standards of the team.

Both? Story may be a long term 2B and Mondesi is hardly a solution.

Story is a SS who played 2B because Bogaerts was here. His arm wasn’t the best but he was still an easy + defender there in his last season in Colorado, and now the arm is repaired.

Mondesi is one of the best defensive SS in baseball. Between the two they’ll be fine there. No need to trade for a SS.

What they should be doing for now imo is maximizing pitching and defense by playing Chang at SS and Kikè in CF.

Not convinced Story stays at SS long term, but if he can, fine by me. Mondesi may be the best defensive SS, but can we afford another bottom of the order bat?

Agreed with the last sentence. They need to stop the bleeding on defense.

This roster may be the death of me because they have talent, it’s just death by papercuts when we play genuinely good teams like the Rays


Like it’s 2-0 off of a dropped ball in CF that Kikè would’ve camped under and our pitchers not holding guys on. Devers got hit on the hand in the 9th the other day and they haven’t gotten a single break since (unless we are counting the break in Duvalls wrist )

I disagree. That was their game to win to not get swept

 

[CDJ]

Top pitching prospect going for Tampa tomorrow, hopefully they’ll be able to mentally scar him. Gonna feel like a walk in the park after facing McLanahan

 

[EverettMike]

Bloom does not seem to care about defense at all and it drives me crazy.

I can’t wait to see him pitch. Heavily invested in him in dynasty lol

The lineup decisions we are seeing rn leads me to believe Cora doesn’t either

Well, he's pretty overrated as a manager so it could just be old fashioned incompetence rather than indifference.

 

[CDJ]

Lol I feel that, that was me with Shane Baz last year

TINSTAAPP (there is no such thing as a pitching prospect) is something I should adhere to but I get silly over certain arms and don’t

 

[CDJ]

Shoot if David Hamilton keeps hitting the way he’s hitting in Worcester he may be the SS by July (not particularly good defensively but definitely the fastest guy in the org)
