If a frog gets in the house, it's because the cats brought it in from the pool deck. Then there is a mad scramble to rescue the frog before certain death.
You think the pets are getting birthday banners or something? Don't give them any ideas because they can be very demanding.
None of the pets are named after Red Sox players anymore. My computer password is the same as my luggage FWIW.
In '25, they were completely dragging at the end of the season due to injuries (Bregman, Anthony). Just look at the playoff lineups. Did injuries catch up with them in '26 as well? Hmmm, I don't remember.
If all that happens, even a health Story at 104 OPS+ doesn't get the Sox to the playoffs. At that point, who really cares what Arias is hitting? At least he'd be getting MLB experience in a lost season.
GGs don't go on the scoreboard either so??? Honestly, hits, runs and errors are the only that thing that goes on a traditional scoreboard, not HRs or RsBI.
Also, when Ceddanne first came up, people were still comparing him to Mookie because he had a 1000 OPS in AAA in 50 G. He wasn't that guy. People had false hope.
It's still a better offensive season than Duran '26. If 85 OPS+ is the ground floor for Arias, it's not the end of the world. That was Mayer in '25 and people were ok with it. Mayer in '26 was well under that.
