  1. He pouted for a bit, but he produced from April - June in a way we had never seen. He was great on the field. That production won't be replaced. It won't. It definitely won't be replaced by swapping in and out KC, Abreu, Duran, Hamilton, etc as you said. Yeah, you give guys a day off, but I'd rather have a guy who can legit OPS 900 at the top of the lineup for the whole year. You can't count on Romy, Toro, Refsnyder and others to do that for the next 3 months. The big three are going to need a breaking in period. They may have some great moments this summer, but the big three are not a finished product.
  2. It's not good enough that we have the second highest fWAR catcher. We need the highest fWAR catcher!
  3. They may see Eldridge as trade fodder at the deadline now that they have a DH for the next decade.
  4. Why does it matter that Devers didn't want to talk to Ortiz? He was doing fine without him.
  5. Have you seen Eldridge's fielding percentage numbers? 🤮 24 errors in 135 G. That's worse than Raffy at 3b.
  6. I consider Sam more culpable than JH because he's around the team on a daily basis. He stuck his nose into the drama when he didn't need to. For a guy that is just a go between for JH, stay out of the way. JH is just a checkbook and has the final say on decisions. He's the guy who had to fly to KC after the s*** hit the fan (not like it would do anything). JH realized it wasn't going to get better and authorized a trade. JH mandated that Breslow get rid of the salary in any trade (not what was said, but what was reported). Breslow is at fault for not communicating from the beginning. He needed to be the bigger man all along. He put zero effort into fixing the relationship and has learned nothing from this. Cora told half truths to Raffy to manage the situation and doesn't get along with Breslow. Raffy needed to suck it up a little bit better than he did, but he let his emotions get to him.
  7. Some people believe it means something. Some people have said "well if they speak up, they'll get traded too" or whatever like we haven't had a million "unnamed source" stories in the past.
  8. If Flores and Devers are both in the lineup, they are putting Flores at 1b (career 6 DRS). Even Dom Smith is a career 1 DRS. I don't think the Giants could count on Devers being an average 1b if he's never played there before.
  9. The also were looking into Arenado. You frame it as "we're looking to upgrade everywhere. We may get a 3b and need you to move DH if they have a great glove. We may get a 1B and need to move Triston instead. We're just trying to put the best ballclub on the field."
  10. It was very weird. There were lots of weird moments from that press conference, but that one was up there.
  11. They can try a Houdini act each night, but some day they are just going to be punched in the stomach and it'll be all over.
  12. Sam explained last night in the press conference that he was mistaken about that and should not have said that. He admitted he had no idea what he was talking about and just said it because he saw Raffy taking infield on NESN monitors and didn't talk to anyone about it.
  13. Wilmer Flores has a 733 OPS (63 GS at DH). Devers is a little bit better than that!
  14. What are you talking about? I get that you are really pissed at Raffy, but at least be normal for a second.
  15. Sure, but he ONLY played SS in 2004. He needed another offseason to be convinced of his declining skills. The reason he didn't play more SS was because of his constant injuries.
  16. I don't need them to say anything. I'm just dubious on the idea that Raffy was ruining the Red Sox clubhouse culture.
