Bingo!!

[mvp 78]

Story was Cora’s guy. He’s gotta go.

[mvp 78]

WC40 rules

[a700hitter]

Monasterio should keep playing if he keeps hitting.   Durban, Mayer and Story may have to give up some PT.

[alsoason]

3-0 that might be enough

Go where, though? They aren't eating his contract. Nobody is taking him. 

I really like what I see from Mona.

Because Mayer is a platoon player, and the players that he platoons with are better at 2nd.

Monasterio might be better at SS than Story, too.

IKF is better at SS than Story.

Use the platoon at SS, then.

Contreras has been pulling his weight.

Who was the lousy GM acquired him, instead of paying out the nose for Alonso?

They need to eat the contract. They’re eating Cora’s. They’ll eat Story’s eventually.

I am not paying to watch them, but from following along on the gamecast, Anthony has been abducted by aliens WTF is up, I have a question for those who were paying more attention. After they got ALL their players back this spring, did Cora play them enough because every time you turned around in that stupid tournament, some Sox player was leading the way. A total disconnect except maybe for the RF between then and now.

Everything about this team has been worse since Story signed here.

Underlying injury with Roman? Bad advice from coaches?

I'd be very surprised to see that this year.

Durbin is starting to hit a bit and Mayer is your best glove in the infield. I give Mayer a full year and let him play everyday and see what he’s made of for once and for all, if he shows lights AND is durable, keep betting on him, otherwise move on and call Arias. Story and Yoshida as I said are role players at this point. Either you DFA them or live accepting that.

I still have some hope he'll start hitting again.

signs of life

Maybe it’s just me but the Anthony hype probably was just that, a hype. Hopefully he becomes what everybody is expecting but I don’t give it for granted. For instance he has to probe he is not fragile. 

[alsoason]

wow crooked number two innings in a row

[Hitch]

Well this is a little more enjoyable. Better at bats all round tonight for most. 

[mvp 78]

Runs are good

I think people need to get off Anthony. Way, way too much pressure has been put on him. He's looked very good in his first spell up. Let's take the temperature out of what we're expecting of him and just let him play without expecting absolute eliteness in his first full year. 

[mvp 78]

Being aggressive on the basepaths is good.

[Hitch]

Nice to see us running again, too.

We need to steal bases again. That was key last year. 

Yup

Put the ball in play and good things happen
