    @alexspeier Cora says Kiké Hernández and Marwin González have taken it upon themselves to discuss/tutor Devers on defense.

    https://community.fangraphs.com/a-lineup-construction-experiment/ When the performance of batters is static, the order in which they bat is not that important. In particular, while there was a slight difference when trying to form a bad lineup, the two reasonable lineups yielded the same results in a large sample. Thus, when trying to optimize a lineup, the emphasis should be placed on gaining advantages with particular batter-versus-pitcher matchups — the goal of which would be to maximize the performance of each player rather than worry about who goes to the plate the most often.

    April used to have extra days off to cover for rain delays. Not a fan of front loading off days. The O's series should be game 1, game 2, game 3, off day. If there's rain, just use that 4th day as a make up. I realize that they put the off day on 4/2 as a make good to opening day fans if their game gets rained out.

    @jcmccaffrey Cora says he'll use Marwin Gonzalez in left if Franchy Cordero isn't ready for the start of the year. He says Alex Verdugo and Hunter Renfroe will mostly be used in center and left. Nobody voted for this option in the poll.

    @alexspeier Red Sox pitchers have regularly shown mid- to upper-90s velo in outings. ‘It’s a lot better than (2019), obviously,’ Says Cora, referencing the slow post-WS buildup in which Sox starters weren’t physically built up for the start of the season. Oof. Cora throwing shade at the 2019 manager.

    Slasher isn’t here anymore. Don’t try to invoke him.

    Starting rotation numbers mean jack in ST.

    Meaningful September games!

    Let’s get crazy with 2021. What do we have to lose?

    His glove isn't the problem IMO. The problem is his arm. Maybe that gets rectified with a move across the diamond?

    Alerta! Alerta! @ChrisCotillo Franchy Cordero finally cleared to work out and will do so tomorrow.

    Same, but only when I go to fangraphs. I keep putting "Bobby Dalbec."

    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.

    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

    @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?

    Next offseason, right?

    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.
  20. mvp 78
    The top of the lineup should be very solid as long as Xander is healthy. I can't quibble too much with batting order.
  21. mvp 78
    Honestly, with Swihart, we have no real idea what he's talking about anyway.
  22. mvp 78
    I'm sorry, do you not care about the Tampa Way?

    @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."

    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

    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.
