Maybe at least hit the catcher's mitt?

Casas hits a bomb and flips his helmet off so that his hair can flow in the breeze... https://twitter.com/tylermilliken_/status/1631743521135681536

Schreiber doesn't have it today. HBP, 2BB, 2WP, 2ER, 1IP
-
@bradfo James Paxton leaves with two outs in second inning. Flexing his leg. Didn’t seem serious as walked through dugout giving fist bumps. Guess is precautionary.
-
In case he never pitches in a Red Sox uni again, here's Paxton k'ing Correa: https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/1631723748868104192

@byJulianMack Trainers out to see Paxton and he's coming out the game. He was grabbing at his right hamstring.
-
Too bad today's start isn't on tv.
-
Paxton was pumping 95 the other day in a bullpen, FYI.
-
@ChrisCotillo Pivetta, Jansen and Martin make spring debuts tomorrow.
-
Garces good, Wasdin bad.
-
It's depressing. It's why MiLB guys need to be added to the union IMO. I will not get onto a soapbox about it though.
-
I believe moon watches every game. I believe Jacoby ran into some stupid outs, which moon remembers. I believe that his overall baserunning ability made up for the stupid outs and then some. Memories from 15 years ago are going to be a little faulty. That's just the way it is. Trust but verify.
-
Mookie only had one season with a BsR better than Jacoby's 2008.
-
Players not on the 40 man get $700/week. Guys on their first contract on the 40 man get $46k/year. If they get called up, they get a prorated portion of the MLB minimum $570k.
-
And he was much better in 2021 than 2022. We'll see what the new swing does for him this season.
-
2007: 1 BsR (33 games) 2008: 9.2 BsR
-
Yes, I'm denying your biased faulty memory.

WHIP as starter: 1.12 WHIP as reliever: 1.14 K/BB as starter: 3.45 K/BB as reliever: 2.71 (surprising that this isn't higher)
-
I value middle relievers, at least the GOOD ones.
-
Career Starter: 3.22, 603 OPS Reliever: 2.68, 570 OPS His career numbers are pretty strong. The known issue of him as a starter is: 1st time through the order as starter: 0.96, 504 OPS 2nd time through the order as starter: 4.12, 642 OPS 3rd time through the order as starter: 14.21, 1016 OPS (only 6.1 innings) His issue is he really has two main pitches and a third pitch that is fringy. If he truly developed the third pitch, maybe he could work longer into a game.
-
I think players perform better when they know what role they are going to be in from day to day. If Crawford can plan on being in the pen for the year, his preparation would look much different and his outcomes may be much better.
-
Expecting Crawford or Winckowski to become a useful middle relief guy isn't that much of a leap of faith. They both have an interesting pitch mix that could play up in that role.
-
We've already seen that Houck struggles that second time through a lineup. No matter what, they need to find a consistent spot for him and stick him there. The same should be said for Whitlock. Stop yo-yo-ing them around between roles. I think Winckowski's stuff should play up in the bullpen, but only if he's strictly a bullpen arm. I don't think they've slotted him there for 2023. Maybe next year? I don't know what their plan is for Mata, but I've said my feelings on him often enough. High octane arm for sure.
-
Huh? What's the definition of "powerful"? Velo-wise it would be Mata. Spin rate-wise it would be Walter.
-
Vince Coleman was caught stealing 39 times in 85 and 86 alone. Did he have bad instincts? Rickey had 38 in 79 and 80. Did he have bad instincts? I don't think CS are a good measure of instincts. I can tell you that Duran's lack of SB's are a bigger indication.
