  1. Ranking the BoSox hitting coaches since 1980: Walt Hriniak Ron Jackson Dave Magadan Tim Hyers Jim Rice Chili Davis Greg Colbrunn Richie Hebner Pete Fatse Mike Easler Dwight Evans Rick Burleson Rick Down
  2. Harrison's first WOO start. Clarke's first start in over a month. Yhoiker's second SAL start. Good day to watch some pitching.
  3. When I lived out there, the Angels had well known issues with rats at their stadium. Is this still the case?
  4. With all the injuries this team sees, I wouldn't be so set on "abundance" especially after how light the system looks offensively. Aside from Jhostynxon and Arias, there aren't any guys that are really super exciting right now.
  5. There are many problems. He's part of the problem right now. Bailey seems to be part of the problem and so does Breslow. There is enough blame to spread across half the roster (at least) too.
  6. If they want Cora out of the managerial position, they are going to bump him up to some EVP position upstairs and pay him out that way.
  7. The callup to GRE didn't slow Aita down. I kinda lost track of him after the first few weeks of the season. 1.8 bb/9 8.0 k/9 .591 OPS A little BABIP luck for him lately, but I like that he's throwing strikes.
  8. He wasn't asked to play 3b after Breggie went down. Why would they want Devers there when they don't like his defense and thought Mayers (great glove) would be ready? If he's not able to communicate with his players, it's not a clubhouse issue, it's a Cora issue. It's the same as the issue Breslow had with a lack of communication over the offseason and Cora's lack of communication prior to ST when both he and Devers were in Fort Myers. Cora never spoke with Houck all season, even when he was struggling. Houck said he was dealing with some arm issues. Cora never knew about it because they weren't speaking to each other. Seems like there's a common thread here...
  9. If he wants a guy that can OPS 975+ vs LHP, we got a few of those. Probably don't cost much.
  10. There were no issues in the clubhouse. The issues were between Devers and Breslow. That's not a clubhouse problem. The perceived Devers vs Campbell problem was made up. Nobody in the clubhouse knew about it.
  11. The only pitch he has pulled to the OF in AAA was a smoking EV of 83 mph and went 270'. He's turned into Chase Meidroth, if Chase was a horrible fielder.
  12. DD doesn't care about prospects that much. He cares about winning now.
  13. Highest swinging strike rate of his career at 24.5% (18.7 is league av). Also highest 1st strike %, strike %, pitches swung at %. Lowest 3-0 count %, 3-1 count %, productive outs %. He's been pretty terrible even when you include his "good" June.
  14. Call him up, but what does that add? He's another young, unproven starter.
  15. If Juan Soto was signed to a 10 year, 500M contract at the time. I think that'd be a fairer comp.
  16. In his first game back at AAA he had two XBH, but both were OPPO! 😑
  17. Either trade bait or going to be given Refsnyder's roster spot next season.
  18. Record with Bregman and Devers 26-26 Record without Bregman but with Devers 11-10 Record without Bregman and Devers 3-5 The best stretch was with Devers, but without Bregman.
  19. Are there many teams under .500 at the halfway point that have won a WS? Any? Even the '06 83-78 Cardinals that some posters trot out were 44-37 and leading their division at this point.
  20. Management hasn't always hasn't always faced reality when we've needed them to ('22, '23, '24).
  21. This is what Cora said about Duran being selected to the ASG: "And we got one more. When we talk about consistency and posting and playing the game right, this guy is (expletive) amazing. We got kids here, and I bet if you want your kids to become big leaguers and play the game the right way, you're going to tell them, 'Take a look at Jarren Duran.' (expletive) All-Star." Talk about being tortured! That's some rough treatment!
