He never was like this unless I am not remembering correctly. Normally he's up there calm. Now it's wild. I'm surprised our hitting coach hasn't talked to him.
Casas has great playe discipline. Some might be annoyed by it, but I love it.
Doesn't annoy me. He has plate discipline and power, should be a 30 homerun guy. Will be fun watching him until he moves on to a big market team.
You're not wrong here. Story is an awful hitter. Terrible OPS, a putrid OBP. And his offensive numbers have been declining for years. Just an awful signing.
I hope this team signs him for awhile but ...we just don't do that unfortunately
Only one long term.
Only one.
The Sox need to approach it like the Braves do, imo.
We still have reporters who care but the Red Sox beat is much harder now.
The 3 'big market' teams in the AL East are not going to make the playoffs.
The Red Sox situation looks good compared to the mess in the Bronx.
I'll grant you that. At least that Yankee squad had a pretty good run in making the playoffs and being a threat. Didn't win it all though.

Some in here who point to the minor league system and the Baseball America rating and like to high five each other over it.

I don't see what the minor league system has to do with the Red Sox season being called a success.
You can't seriously be on this thread and asking this question
It's one of the things wrecking baseball IMHO.
With the biggest weakness on the major league team, starting pitching, also being the biggest weakness in the farm system.
The pitch clock was a good start. Next up: MSPGA
Make Starting Pitching Great Again
I know I sound like an old
but when I was growing up the starting pitcher stayed in until he got into trouble and even then many times the manager would let him try to work his way out of it. If he couldn't do it only then was the reliever called in to take over. None of this bringing in a particular pitcher to face a particular batter that he routinely got out. I was glad when the 3 minimum batters faced rule was put in, it was getting ridiculous & slowing the game down even more.Complete games by the starting pitcher were routine then, now it is a rarity.

I'm sure I have missed some posts but really do not recall anyone stating this has been a successful season for the Sox.
Seriously.

Not just the Braves, but look at what the Rays did with Wander Franco, the Mariners with Julio Rodriguez, etc.
That's the new best practice around MLB. Move away from buying at the top of the market, and get your younger star players under contract for as long as possible, as soon as you can.
