Red Sox/MLB 2025 Regular Season

[Morris Wanchuk]

Anthony is ready, time to make Rafaella they platoon guy.

 

[RoccoF14]

Fun fact that I think you'll appreciate. He's from the Crystal Lake, Ill., area.

Another fun fact. He played for the youth team at the same facility that I train at for Old Man Baseball. He's got an autographed jersey hanging up on the wall in the indoor facility where we practice.

That's awesome. A buddy of mine covered prep sports in Crystal Lake for decades. He remembers his first interview with Preister and thought at the time that his answers were advanced for his age. They still keep in touch. They caught up during this past Spring Training. Seems like a good kid.

Big win in so many ways

They showed they can get their nuts kicked in and bounce right back

Duran big game for him
Buehler looks solid

Story plays 150 they are winning 90 ~ heck of a player healthy

Cora doesn’t panic and excellent manager

Also Merloni is so freakin good - hate the Boston accent but other then that he’s a keepah

Duran's been hitting in some bad luck. Not worried about him.

Anthony is ready, time to make Rafaella they platoon guy.

I want to agree with this, but Rafaella defense is so freaking good.

Offensively Anthony - Duran - Abreu is a hell of a lot better than Duran - Rafaella - Abreu

But man, he's made two highlight catches in a week because of his speed and his routes tracking the ball.

I’m starting to see why if they were shopping Casas that nobody was buying.

But, for as dysfunctional the first 20 have been, they’re still at 500 I guess.

Slaten looked absolutely filthy

-11 run differential with a series win, feels good

 

[Mione134]

A win is a win! Kids eat again 2 days in a row!
I'm not worried about Casas. He'll get it going. I still think Pete Fatse has to go. But I digress...

Anyone else hear this?

You have obviously seen my team with only one reliever and no horse besides Lindor.

Roman is so ready

 

[Mione134]

Roman REIGNS!

Roman is so ready

At last check, there was still a bit too much swing-and-miss at the AAA level.

He cuts down on that a bit, and they'll call him up.

 

[quietbruinfan]

They will not call up Anthony until they hit the deadline to get him for an extra year of service time. They will probably call him up the next day. IMO this team still has not committed to spending long term if they can avoid it.

I have, but it was back in the early 2000s when John Henry owned the team. Haven't been to a game at their new ballpark.

The deadline is already passed. They're not going to call him up for a couple of reasons. He still has some development goals the Sox would like to see, per Breslow. He also has an injured shoulder that precludes him from playing defense. He's been DHing for an extended period because of it. They won't promote him to be a DH while Raffy is the full-time DH. They'll call him up when he can play everyday.

Ok, thanks. Too bad about the shoulder, as they are obviously best served to let it heal.

For more context, he's been injured since at least April 11 when he started DHing everyday. It's only been 6 days, but who knows how damaged there is. Obviously, it's not affecting his hitting.
