    That has nothing to do with anything.

    He struggled with an injury last season, but is rocking a 824 OPS right now. He's also best friends with Raffy and would be instrumental in pulling Raffy out of his current slump.

    Zanetello and Anderson should have done the same last year.
  4. mvp 78
    MLB has justified a whole bunch of dumb stuff.
  5. mvp 78
    That was a mandate from ownership. Bloom is the 22-23 guy who drafted Mayer, Anthony and friends.
  6. mvp 78
    Yes, MLB have overcorrected before and they will again!

    Nice article. I read that some people in the know believe that if the power trend continues with the bat that it will be made illegal. FWIW, Bregman just got a torpedo bat. FWIW2, the Brewers pitching is atrocious and the Yankees numbers may reflect that more than the bats.

    I can't be worried about another team's spending when our ownership has enough money to do the same. Per Forbes, the Sox had more net income last season than any other team in MLB. They just aren't spending enough. Dodgers have a window and are maximizing it. That's great for their fanbase. Also, MLB needs a team that everyone can be mad about (see the Yankees in the Jeter years).

    You're against everything until it works out. That's how it seems anyway. 🫠

    He certainly gets credit for '21, but largely whiffed on '22 and '23. It was clear the team wasn't set up for success in '24 either and needed to be handed over. I'll give him a pass on '20.
  11. mvp 78
    He did a lot of great things for the organization, but wasn’t able to manage a competitive MLB team from year to year. He wasn’t meeting expectations laid out by ownership on an annual basis to the media. Going over the CBT was a big mistake. Fumbling multiple deadlines to the point where other GMs no longer wanted to pick up your phone call doesn’t work either. He was a mixed bag. SoxProspects guys said as much in his postmortem.
  12. mvp 78
    I hope that’s all it is because he’d be able to pull out of it. He has Papi’s number and should use it.

    Happy to have you back!

    Dobbins came in and gave up a grand slam. 4ER for Bello.
  15. mvp 78
    Bello pulled after 2.1 innings with bases loaded. Was supposed to go 3 innings or 50 pitches. He threw 47. Rough 3rd inning for him.

    League Average k% 2024: 22.6 Returning 2024 Red Sox players with k% above League Average: Casas - starting slow Story - starting slow Sogard (not currently on the active roster) Abreu Romy Rafaela - starting slow Refsnyder Hamilton Devers - starting slow Wong - starting slow Returning 2024 Red Sox players with k% below League Average: Duran Masa - not on the active roster It comes down to roster construction. Bregman should help a little. Campbell will probably be below League Average. Getting the oft hated Masataka Yoshida back would greatly help this offense. Swapping Story for Mayer and Rafaela for Anthony would help the offensive, but may not bring down the k rate.
  17. mvp 78
    Yup. If they trot him out there tomorrow night, someone needs to get fired. They aren't doing Raffy any favors at the moment.

  19. mvp 78
    It makes sense because Rendon was 3 years older and had almost 5 less career fWAR than Mookie!
  20. mvp 78
    Newcomb was NOT great yesterday. However, Bello starts tonight for WOO and Giolito starts tomorrow for WOO. No Sox game so you may want to check out Bello's start if you have the option.
  21. mvp 78
    I'm just relieved it got done.
  22. mvp 78
    He's a shower not a grower?
  23. mvp 78
    That is not the magic super two date. Super two status wasn't until June 26 last season. It's typically the last week of May through the middle of June. It varies each year. Some previous few years: 2022: May 28th 2021: June 9th 2020: May 31st 2019: June 10th 2018: May 22nd
  24. mvp 78
    Mayer has a 444 OPS in AAA.
