    Houck fell back to earth after July 1 last year. Bello is out. Fitts is injured. Buehler was a shot in the dark for a FA pickup and had horrible regular season numbers last year. Red Sox were relying on Sean Newcomb to provide meaningful innings early on (hasn't pitched 50+ innings in MLB since '19). Seems like the rotation was a little overrated going into the season aside from the tippy top. I think we can expect more out of Duran and Casas, but Abreu and Campbell certainly hit above their weight for a long period of time. The defense is still mediocre to bad or at least it feels that way. On paper, are they really that good?

    He gets blamed if they go too long. He gets blamed if they're pulled too early.
  3. mvp 78
    Gio ended up starting anyway and going 2 innings giving up 3 runs, 5 H, 3 BB to AA hitters.

    That's a waste of a good glove. Kristian Campbell is 6'3".

    A lot of hard contact for Pepiot. Maybe he can get on track.

    However, the Red Sox did not sign any Black free agents between the 1972 start of the free agency system and 1993, thereby missing out on a substantial portion of top baseball talent during that twenty-one year period. Damn you Joe Cronin! It's all YOUR fault! Not that they couldn't sign a black free agent until Jean Yawkey finally died in 1992. Cronin may have been a complicit POS, but I think the Yawkeys put a lot of pressure into how that team looked from the 30's to the 90's. Good thing Tom was inducted into the HOF and Jean was on the Board of Directors of the HOF.

    The author is a clickbait king. Here's his trade from two weeks ago sending Casas to SEA: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox/news/red-sox-blockbuster-trade-pitch-would-swap-triston-casas-starting-pitcher/fc24d570e5dddbae9a4a7e77 Here's a trade of Masa to the Royals: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/red-sox-could-cut-ties-with-90-million-slugger-to-add-depth-in-trade-with-royals/ar-AA1CUNAX He's also traded Arias & Jhostynxon to the Cardinals for Helsley: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/boston-red-sox/news/red-sox-trade-pitch-would-bring-81-million-all-star-boston/f86e999a0a4b394c87c4fee8

    I don't have the appropriate site safe reaction for this, kimmi... There's still 89% of the season to play and I'm going to do my best to be patient until Memorial Day. I'm fine with Cora moving around the lineup for struggling hitters and mixing and matching bullpen guys. At this point, firing a coach isn't going to fix anything. It's just going to punt the season. Hard to do an in season trade this early and the players you'd want to move are vastly underperforming. Why sell Masa, Casas, etc. at their lowest value? I think we just have to hope for a turnaround from internal options.

    It'll be tonight because I will be unable to watch. 🫣

    Joe Torre had almost 60 WAR. Tris Speaker won 90 games twice. Joe Cronin had a good managing career.

    It ain't no slider anymore.

    Hurt his knee early last season and pitched through it. It didn't get better in the offseason. They are rehabbing now. Crawford injured himself covering first base at Fenway Park on April 10 against the Orioles. “My third start of the season, I covered first base and as soon as I hit the base, something happened,” Crawford said. “I just couldn't put a whole lot of weight on it. As you could tell, my velo was declining a little bit.” Crawford was confident a full winter of rest and rehab would cure what ailed him, but he had a setback in the offseason. “Yeah, it's something that I kind of dealt with last year, I just kind of flew through it,” said Crawford. “I did something [to it] this offseason. I had a couple hiccups within the rehab progression of it all. I’m just a little behind. The strength just isn't there where we want it to be. And, yeah, just a little behind, kind of taking it day by day.”

    Also, that dirty rat Pythagoras has the Sox at 8-10 rather than their actual record of 8-10.
  18. mvp 78
    Sox are 1-3 in blowouts according to bref. Feels like it so far.
  19. mvp 78
    Gio is starting tonight vs the Yard Goats FWIW
  20. mvp 78
    Agreed, through age 27, Raffy was better.
  21. mvp 78
    It's a lot of pen lefties, but for a long reliever it doesn't matter to me.
  22. mvp 78
    He has the same approach that worked for Papi.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't know what PeteAbe wants Tanner to throw. His horrible 4 seamer (opponents 1.000 SLG, 625 wOBA)? His splitter is really thrown mainly against lefties. Change his sweeper back to a slider with less horizontal break?
  24. mvp 78
    I don't want to read too much into the Netflix doc, but the two biggest "personalities" are really slumping at the start of this year. Get Matt Young's sports psychologist on line 1!

    K rate 2024 Pre-injury: 28% Post-injury: 33% He definitely was worse after coming back at the end of the year and is really spiraling right now. Maybe he can pull himself out of it. He has always been seen as a "professional hitter" but I think it's time for him to show it, Mr 39% Called Third Strike. It's funny because he's swinging at more pitches than ever (especially 1st pitch), but has worse contact %. His looking strikes are WAY down, but he's somehow keeping an obscenely high k rate of which 39% are without a swing. How is he swinging at more strikes, whiffing more, having less called strikes, but taking the same % of called third strikes. Bizarre. He's only patient when there's two strikes now? WTH?
