Red Sox/MLB 2025 Regular Season

Ah cherry picking mediocre analytics stats for a guy who hasn't hit a lick this year and was injured and not hitting a lick for part of last year. It's a new low.

It's not cherry picking anything. We are literally 15 games into the season.

Casas comes across as a slow starter. The problem is the fans that just don't like him because he paints his nails and suntans on the field so they root for him to fail. He's off to a better start this season than 2023, which was the first season people were ready to ship him out of town because he started off poorly.

March/April:
2023 = .133/.283/.293 -- 59 WRC+ -- 3HR -- 8RBIs

May:
2023 = .257/.338/.429 -- 105 WRC+ -- 3HR -- 8RBIs

June:
2023 = .286/.375/.476 -- 131 WRC+ -- 3HR -- 11RBIs

July:
2023 = .348/.442/.758 -- 216 WRC+ -- 7HR -- 13RBIs

August:
2023 = .294/.400/.518 -- 145 WRC+ -- 5HR -- 13RBIs

September:
2023 = .197/.358/.408 -- 120 WRC+ -- 5HR -- 12RBIs

I get the concerns people have with him on his health and his fielding could definitely improvement. However, freaking out over his slow start this year is nothing more than the internal joy fans get when they see player's they don't like fail. If he's hitting like this come June, then you have a legitimate gripe.

Not overly concerned about the Sox or Casas, still think my over 86.5 wins hits, they’re just playing losing baseball right now. They’ll eventually snap out of it but it’s gross to watch.

My dislike of him has absolutely nothing to do with his personal habits, save thinking way too highly of himself. He has poor plate coverage and a long swing that is very difficult to shorten when necessary. He is also overly passive, but that would be a positive if he had a better swing.

Why is it baseless again? It should tell you I have been around awhile and sometimes recognize vanity when I see or hear it.

Btw I know you will say it is just know nothing Tony Mazz, but he thinks Casas is a total know it all as well. If you do not believe us, listen to Casas say he is good around the bag, or listen to him ramble about simple questions for ten solid minutes.

What exactly is your point besides whining about a contract that does absolutely nothing to the bottom line. It's a cheap deal and he provides value with his fielding, alone.

I don't give a flying f*** about the Red Sox bottom line. That doesn't mean handing out "cheap" long term deals to unproven players is always the thing to do. There is zero need to be locking up Rafaela and celebrating it when he's not even projecting as an every day player. Go turn on a Carrabis podcast.

Kally has to be the old Bruinsfansince94 guy or whatever the username was. Guy who thought Chaim Bloom was good at his job. Was hoping those days were over but now we're gonna be told again that everything is awesome.

I don’t know what that is but okay….

Bloom did some good things and some poor things. What the hell does he have to do with anything here though?

Then why bitch about something so pointless? Rafaela is not an issue and provides elite defense at multiple positions.

It's not pointless. That is the point. You don't have to luck up a roster spot for years on a player who is good defensively...when he is allowed to play. If you love the deal, which I know you do, go nuts and throw a parade.

I'm indifferent to the player and the deal. He's a great defender and mediocre at the plate. I'm also willing to...and this may blow your mind.... wait a bit since we're --checks standings-- 15 games into the season.

Did I check that correctly? Yes.. 15 games. 15/162 is wild to be freaking out over. On all players.

I don’t let fingernail painting and suntanning bother me. It’s funny if anything and I recognize a good player.

Except he hasn't been a consistently good player. Painting your nails has nothing to do with someone saying Casas thinks highly of himself.

As if there is anything wrong with a player thinking highly of himself?

He hasn’t been good but he’s also shown signs in his career he’s a slow starter, like many other players in the league.
