    Pivetta goes to the pen, Brice is DFA'd.

    I think Downs, Casas and Duran could all force their way onto this roster. Is it likely to happen? Probably not. I think at least one of those guys mashes and winds up being a starter after the ASB. Cordero and Renfroe would be a good platoon in theory. We'll just have to see if Cordero can stay healthy. Also, who would the other OFer be aside from Verdugo? Marwin? Kiké? They have pushed Chavis into a IF only role. This team isn't set up for Cordero and Renfroe to be strictly platoon.

    If he hits 250, I'll be surprised. Like I've said before, I enjoy the Dalbec experience and will look forward to 45 HR's and 225 K's. His OBP will be ok, but his batting average will be closer to Mendoza than many old school fans would like.

    He still needs to work on his secondary stuff if he wants to be a starter. Obviously, there is more value to him starting and they need to do whatever they can to get there. He's most likely just going to the pen at some point though.

    They put him in the 9 hole yesterday. If he's there hitting 225 and 35+ bombs, I don't think we can complain. I'm not sure he's a long term option and do hope that Casas forces their hand at AA this season.

    Smarter than people on here who said he was foolish not to take the Sox’s offer.

    @jcmccaffrey Eduardo Rodriguez today: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K In three spring starts: 11.2 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 14 K

    Dalbec with another slam.

    Chapman: "No, I said IN THE GARAGE, not in front of the team again you silly goose!" The rest of the team: "I understand that German shot that girl at a charity gala, but everyone is deserving of third and fourth chances and he's been pitching really well for us. We can tell you that he's on the thinnest of thin ice!"

    AAA season doesn't start until May. If you want him to keep hitting, he needs to be in BOS not WOO.

    John Henry could have kept riding his bicycle as long as he wanted. He chose to ghost ride it. It was a choice. It was always a choice. They could have kept Mookie and reset later on.

    @jcmccaffrey Bogaerts’ first game at short. This could be your opening day lineup: Red Sox vs Twins: Hernández 2B, Verdugo CF, Martinez DH, Bogaerts SS, Devers 3B, Renfroe RF, Gonzalez LF, Vázquez C, Dalbec 1B, Rodriguez P

    It was a fake cliff though.
  14. mvp 78
    That has always been the case. It's why he's been tagged as a bullpen arm in most projections.

    This didn’t need its own thread.

    I plugged the phone in where the blender used to be. My wife tried to call 911. She went "Aaaaahhhh..."

    @PeteAbe Pablo Sandoval tried to score from first on a two-out double and was out by 10 feet, much to the delight of the crowd at Fort Myers.

    Someone would also have to definitively explain where Bud Lite really comes from.
  21. mvp 78
    They are bringing back Steven Wright.
  22. mvp 78
    Disgusting.

    @PeteAbe Sox will use robots to fight Covid at Fenway: Better use of robots: k zone or melee vs COVID? C'mon, man!

    I really didn't want to fall down this rabbit hole. Hazing by senpai (upperclassmen), who often act as surrogate disciplinarians of their kohai (lower classmen) is also systemic and involves a variety of tortures. Ichiro Suzuki, as a 10th-grader on his high school club, was forced to kneel on the rim of a lidless garbage can for an extended period of time as punishment for overcooking the rice in the team dormitory. On other occasions he had to kneel with a bat between his calves and buttocks. He described these sessions as unbearably painful. Such practices may continue into the pros. In last year's Japan Series, we were treated to the sight of Giants catcher and captain Shinnosuke Abe striding out to the mound and slapping second-year pitcher Hirokazu Sawamura in the head to scold him for a lapse in control. "Snap out of it!" he yelled. It was all on nationwide TV. Sawamura's reaction? An embarrassed smile.
