    You should believe it. You've been on the internet long enough to see this behavior before.

    You can say the '22 team underperformed, but Bloom just didn't help the bullpen at all and rolled Dalbec out there way too long when he should have just re-signed Schwarber. Rotation: Eovaldi, Pivetta, Wacha, Hill, Crawford/Bello Bullpen: complete mess, 27th ranked pen Offense: Devers, Xander, JD, Story, Vaz, Verdugo, Kiké, Refsnyder With Schwarber at 1B and a better pen, that team gets to the playoffs and makes one final run.

    If Casas goes down, Toro is the backup FWIW.
  5. mvp 78
    Would never!

    That's my worry with TJS. It's not a magic cure all like some people believe. It was my concern about signing Fried long term. That arm is ticking each time he throws another pitch. And the second surgery is even harder to come back from!
  7. mvp 78
    Yes. I believe that they have tried to tweak the approach, but have given him free reign when it has not worked (i.e. '23). His k rate is starting to climb again after hovering at 10% for a few weeks. I think it will be back to 24% by year end. Since STL: 29 PA, 6 H, 1 BB, 8 K, 1 XBH

    I'm not falling for pitching TJS timeline again. Even the internal brace procedure takes a long while to come back from it seems. Story had his brace surgery over 2 years ago and his arm doesn't seem back.

    Grissom has started off the season fairly strong as well. The two most likely to be promoted AA guys (Romero and Jhostynxon) have hit well to begin the year too. Zanetello leads all Sox MiLB with 21 k (47.7 k%!!!!) has been watching too many BOS games.
  10. mvp 78
    "Years" of failure? He had one bad year in the bigs, but I think many of us who watched him through MiLB knew that advanced pitching would attack him in a way that would give him considerable trouble. Other people just looked at his 1088 OPS in AAA and said we were crazy. If he was sent back to AAA, he'd mash again and not learn anything. When he tried an advance approach in the beginning of '23, it didn't work out and he went back to swinging at everything.

    And Mayer is hitting WORSE against RHP!
  12. mvp 78
    Casas also has options left. They could just send him to AAA to get his head straight for a month and wait for him to mash.
  13. mvp 78
    Sandoval will be where Gio currently is in August. Hard to really get excited about him coming back this year. I'd rather him be ready for next year and just work on the side.
  14. mvp 78
    Perez is a flyball pitcher with a low chase rate and no velo to speak of. The Sox just saw him last turn in the rotation. Unless Fatse is truly toast, the Sox need to tee off on him at Fenway. Red shirt magic tonight.🪄

    Rafaela has tried to work on his hitting ever since he was in AA. What is going to change now? He was arguably better last season when he was swinging at everything and striking out at a higher rate.
  16. mvp 78
    I'm not high class enough to hang out at the gin joints that Old Red frequents.
  17. mvp 78
    Yoshida is NOT playing 1B. C'mon now.
  18. mvp 78
    Yeah, not all of them are going to be winners. That's what happens when you are signing guys at 16.
  19. mvp 78
    It was probably guaranteed, but you never know with the Rockies.
  20. mvp 78
    I believe Mr TBD is Hunter Dobbins.
  21. mvp 78
    Aside from the STL series, it's been a nightmare.
  22. mvp 78
    They did it with Kutter all last season. Raffy's shoulder was so sore that he didn't pick up a bat all offseason. Now he's a shell of himself.
  23. mvp 78
    You don't need lessons on how to argue, that's for sure.
  24. mvp 78
    One less person to pay as they replaced him with a guy they were already paying.
  25. mvp 78
    If the Pirates didn't have Oneil Cruz, they'd be far and away the biggest embarrassment in baseball. They are making a big case.
