He said "Ref" not "Raf" which generally refers to Refsnyder. Refsnyder wasn't exactly tearing up the ball yesterday. 

Also, the confusion between the two nicknames is exactly why those two nicknames is awful. 

It was a bit strange Ref started vs a RHP, but we've faced so few lefties. I wouldn't say 1 for w a BB was all that cold, either.

He's been "hot" for 3+ years, so you tell me.

You're always disagreeable. Pass.

Being right may seem disagreeable, to some.

Must have been some miraculous weight loss as all that extra baggage he was carrying around according to you and Paplebon was what was really holding him back the first few games, right? 🧐

Why is it you keep bringing up ONLY the weight thing? Is that the best comeback you can muster?I’ve said all along there were a number of things that was preventing Raffy to hitting a baseball with his mechanics being messed up being one of them right from the start, which you kept Pooh, poohing. The weight was added later on when a picture was being shown side by side of Raffy in 2024, and Raffy in 2025, and the 2025 picture showed Raffy showing more girth  in the trunk. You were saying Cora was embarrassing Raffy by playing him, and I even heard the word fired being thrown around. Raffy was embarrassing himself. You hit the panic button, and crawled on a ledge, and thought there was a major crisis when there was NO CRISIS at all.

Remember the guy, last April who was complaining about the guy "kicking the ball all around RF?"

We all go overboard, at times, on smaller than legit sample sizes.

You keep talking about someone complaining about Abreu kicking the ball around in RF early last year, but what you conveniently leave out was he was doing it at the time, and was being talked about on the airwaves, and the papers also. It was also a fact he has turned out to be a better than good RF. Kind of like the Butterfly Man who turned out to be a better than good OF.
