  1. What's your worry? He's had success in MLB. Has a starter's build and throws 4+ pitches.
  2. Was initially going to pitch for WOO, but rained out today.
  3. During the game, no. The morning after the game, should be a different story!
  4. 100%. You don't treat that guy like a used car that you are looking to trade out or scrap in the next year. He's a foundational piece. It's the same thing with Raffy. If his shoulder is a little wonky and keeping him at DH helps him for now, just leave him at DH. Sox need to worry about the long term AND short term. You do both if you can manage the health of your best players.
  5. Masa plus half his contract for Bell? Done.
  6. Crochett is leading MLB in pitches thrown and innings. A guy who has only pitched 243 innings since being drafted in 2020. You probably don't to be riding that guy too hard early on IMO.
  7. Mayer is the second best fielder today in a Bregman, Story, Mayer, Campbell IF. Why would you put him at 1B? Story has been awful. If Mayer is up, he's playing either SS or 2B. I'd move Story over to 2B where he played pretty well in '22 TBH. If he's not going to hit, at least his defense could play up a little. Right now, he's not the SS he once was. I'm not sure he's even as good as Rafaela at SS.
  8. Red Sox like to play down to their opponents, but they also like being .500. 4 game stretch? Feels like they end up 28-27 after the weekend. How toasted will be Giolito be? Every other start it's been rough. 4.22 xFIP though. Could be a tough watch.
  9. https://talksox.com/boston-red-sox-bullpen-usage/ Learn it. Live it. Love it.
  10. It was obvious from the very first regular season game he was behind the plate. He's just more calm back there and if Wong's bat isn't well above average Wong's not a viable starter.
  11. With Campbell, at least there's hope he can turn it around. Story? I don't see it.
  12. To work on what, hitting against AAA pitchers? He can already demolish those guys. What's the point in that?
  13. I wrote last 4 games, because I was commenting on your 15 AB sample which was 4 games???????????? I think the wrong person is picking nits atm. 😔
  14. He needs to perform in AAA first. If he can't do it in WOO, he definitely can't do it in BOS.
  15. His k% and bb% and other peripherals are Clay Buchholz-esque. I feel gross for saying that, but I think that's where we are with Bello. Maybe he's a healthier Buchholz without the All Star ceiling?
  16. I didn't mention 15 AB, that's was you, buddy. It also doesn't change my argument as I still feel like he's been unlucky (091 BABIP in the 51 PA's you are talking about).
  17. I mean, if you're worried only about a 4 game sample, I don't know how you get through 162.
  18. It's easy to say anything on the internet. Alex Bregman really hasn't been worth his contract so far. Garrett Crochet? Bad trade! Sam Kennedy is a great guy.
