  1. Same, but only when I go to fangraphs. I keep putting "Bobby Dalbec."
  2. If I can get my vaccine before the end of the summer, I'll be happy. My wife is expecting it by the end of June, but I don't see it.
  3. The Dalbec experience: @redsoxstats Update: 16 at bats this spring: single, fly out, ground out, 4 home runs, 9 strikeouts I love Devers, but this Dalbec stuff is just so much fun. I want him to hit 80 HR's and k 300 times. Stanley was right. I never hit another home run. I struck out most of the time. But they always remembered that home run and while they still hated me, it was a better kind of hatred, like they weren’t quite sure why. - Charles Bukowski in Ham on Rye
  4. @bradfo Tanner Houck coming in hot at 98 mph
  5. @ThreeTwoEephus BREAKING: Texas Rangers plan to open to full 40,518 capacity for 2 final exhibition games and Opening Day, with plans to have social-distanced sections available in subsequent games. @ThreeTwoEephus - masks will be required - no tailgating allowed - team is asking for “voluntary compliance” but refusal to comply will fall under the usual three-strike rule, just like excessive profanity, etc. Will Fenway go to full capacity at any point this year?
  6. Next offseason, right?
  7. It's where he needs the work and where we have a great need. No used putting him all over. Give him the experience at 2b. If it doesn't work out, then you know you can move on. However, if he goes down to AAA, he's not getting ANY reps at 2b.
  8. The top of the lineup should be very solid as long as Xander is healthy. I can't quibble too much with batting order.
  9. Honestly, with Swihart, we have no real idea what he's talking about anyway.
  10. I'm sorry, do you not care about the Tampa Way?
  11. @ChrisCotillo Interesting note on Michael Chavis: He said there have been zero conversations with the Red Sox about playing outfield since arriving in camp. @redsoxstats In the video the Sox released today Cora told him, "Work on the corners here and there, but just work a lot at second."
  12. Officially, 2/3 inning. That doesn't count sim games or whatever else. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/stats/player/pitching/al/spring-training/all-pos/qualifiers/?sortcol=era&sortdir=descending
  13. Because if Devers got his throwing issues fixed, he'd be better than Dalbec. Maybe easier to fix that than shuffle the lineup all around.
  14. @alexspeier Cora says Sox see Houck as a starter, and he won’t be a bullpen consideration to open the year.
  15. @PeteAbe #RedSox (vs. Braves, 1:05): Hernández 2B, Verdugo RF, Martinez LF, Devers 3B, Renfroe DH, Gonzalez SS, Vázquez C, Dalbec 1B, Duran CF, and Andriese RHP Verdugo in RF and Duran in CF sounds like a good idea to me.
  16. He struggled last year because his swing was a mess and he couldn't watch video during the games to prep. It had nothing to do with the batting order.
  17. If Dalbec was a vastly better defender, they would have kept him at 3b. The truth is, Dalbec is just an average defender at best. You're not going to move Devers off position for that defensive profile.
  18. It's always been his throwing, not his range. Maybe it's a mental block? Maybe it's him not setting his feet?
  19. I don't think Chaim sees Devers' defense as keeping us from the playoffs. We're on the outside looking in right now. I think Chaim's plan is to watch Devers this year and move him to DH/1B next offseason if there isn't improvement. This team is NOT a WS contender. Moving a "butcher" off the position doesn't fix the larger issues with this roster.
  20. So why did they never give JD a 1b mitt?
  21. DFA Devers over bad defense in Spring Training!
  22. Houck and Seabold are closer to the bigs? Ward will be on the same team as Hernandez on 5/1.
  23. Carl Mays: 103 JAWS (sandwiched with Oswalt and Koosman)
  24. I learned something today.
  25. Theo saw Drake LaRoche draw with crayon all over clubhouse walls. "Time to go, pal!"
