    Maybe? I think they should also stop moving him all over the diamond.
  2. mvp 78
    Duran has a 794 OPS since the STL series. I think he's starting to turn it around. Devers and Casas have work to do.

    To me, they need to learn to walk before they can run. If they are barely consistently above .500, I don't know why I'd even look at the playoff standings. Get above .500 for a while and then I'll look.
  4. mvp 78
    DFA, but he may stick around.
  5. mvp 78
    We've also seen some players just completely lose it. I don't think Devers is the type of player to completely lose it at his age though. For me, knowing there was an issue with his should just makes me wonder if something else is causing this slump. I don't agree with the nonsense about pouting about 3b.

    Only problem being that the 8 AND 9 hole hitters are virtual black holes at the moment. I read somewhere that it's like that across the league though so maybe we have to reset expectations.

    They just need to worry about being above .500, not the standings.

    Schwarber was a great fit for the offense and not a great defensive fit. He was such a patient hitter and it really infected the other hitters around him. While he didn't have an ideal position here, I think he was one of those guys you shoehorn in to 1B/LF/DH for a year knowing that you weren't going to re-sign JD after '22 anyway. You have him fake it for '22 and then become a fulltime DH in '23. He just fit Boston too well IMO.

    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.
  14. mvp 78
    Would never!
  15. mvp 78
    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!
  16. 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
  17. mvp 78
    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.
  18. mvp 78
    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.
  19. 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.
  20. mvp 78
    And Mayer is hitting WORSE against RHP!
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.🪄
  24. mvp 78
    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.
  25. mvp 78
    I'm not high class enough to hang out at the gin joints that Old Red frequents.
