  1. Baz has a career 505 OPS vs the Sox. He's really eaten their lunch the last two years.
  2. He's hitting the ball a lot harder than last season. The results aren't there yet on the field, but the underlying data is ok. He needs to keep playing it out.
  3. Some sort of rebound was always to be expected as many players were performing far below their career norms. There are a few others who are not noted above that have seen increases. IKF's OPS is up 480 points in May. Rafaela is up over 100 points. Also, two players were brought up from AAA that have posted stronger numbers than the players they have taken over for Gasper (756) and Sogard (721). Abreu's OPS has fallen off in May dropping over 150 points. Mayer is also down over 200 points.
  4. He's Mike Napoli's bat with Mitch Moreland's glove.
  5. He's always fashionable out there.
  6. Chris Sale's arm angle is flatter since going to ATL than it has ever been and he's arguably been healthier. Was it the arm angle that made you think Crochet was injured, or the additional IP last year and his terrible ST and mediocre to bad regular season this year? Is Payton Tolle injured now that his arm angle is much flatter this season? You may not believe it, but pitching dev does work on adjusting arm angle. https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/2026/03/pitchers-are-going-low-and-for-good-reason-but-its-not-for-everyone/?srsltid=AfmBOoo-30ZKxZsEK2Am4fMYEh3oB7Yoz8OJ37w4yRpPqOUL-0P5W1jJ
  7. But Hunter Dobbins dad said something!!! You know, the guy who lied about being drafted twice by the Yankees. Let's listen to that guy! The internal rift is blowing UP! What does Lance Dobbins have to do with an internal rift? Don't ask that kind of question!
  8. No, they aren't getting rid of Breslow this season. Yes, there has been an overreliance on analytics, but there have been complaints about analytics going back to implementing Carmine in 2000. Theo isn't coming back.
  9. Madstork wants Theo to be CBO. Theo doesn't want the job. He's better off with his current one. If you're siding with Madstork, you're on the wrong side of history.
  10. Rafaela was signed for 10k. He played 3 games for Lowell in 19. I don't think DD had any idea who he was.
  11. Is this a joke post?
  12. Need to sweep to get out of the doghouse. Sox sweep at home? Unlikely!
  13. The pitching is really dreadful in DSL and FCL. Can't rely on those numbers for much of anything TBH. Scary how bad some of the pitching has been early on. At least with DSL and FCL, there's a little bit of an excuse.
  14. Bleis hasn't had a good statline since FCL in '22. He's toast.
  15. They aren't worthless. They are just a snapshot of a point in time. Things change. It wasn't meant to be a season grade, but a YTD grade just like the title says.
  16. Untrue, especially these days with how pitching departments change arm angles based on certain metrics.
  17. He was getting consistent late jumps early on, not just occasional bad plays.
  18. He has said all along that the bats should heat up when the weather warms up, but shouldn't the opposition's bats warm up as well? Waiting for the summer to have a good offense is a bad way to do it. I don't think Contreras is hitting too far above his weight class. He may dip a little, but I don't see him really tanking. He's still adjusting to being a fulltime 1b, so we don't really know how his offense is impacted for better or worse.
  19. Jack Winnay is still learning 3b, but may be taken off of it sooner than later. 28 G, 9 E, .866 % He was 1B/OF in College. I think having him play 3B was to find him more AB's and to fill an org need.
  20. Jack Winnay April 644 OPS, 1 HR May 1113 OPS, 7 HR
