    Just put the ball in play! Less k's! It worked back in the 80's!

    To me, it's more about the loss of Turner. Even if O'Neill replaces Duvall/Verdugo production or whatever. Without Turner, there's just a missing piece in the middle of the order, especially now that Story is out.

    He gets "lucky" because that's where all his balls go. Eventually, what he hits goes through. He'll have hot and cold streaks. It's just the nature of how he approaches hitting. Hard to say he was "lucky" or that his "average was boosted" if his BABIP was only 316.
  4. mvp 78
    Yes and he was able to turn it around quickly early on.
  5. mvp 78
    Likely to miss about 30 games to the IL at some point and hasn't been exceedingly productive since 2021. If they can manage his health, he'll be another in a long line of fun one year wonders for the Sox (VMart, Beltre, Cody Ross, Renfroe, Bay, etc).

    Yeah, 830 is still good. I get all the anger towards Yoshida. He still had a good year last year until he fell apart at the end. Hard to take away the first 2/3's of the season from him. He's struggling now and maybe he can turn it around again because he has before. It's not like he's the only one struggling either. I'm not the biggest fan of his game and I agree that he's overpaid and that he's stuck here unless the Sox eat his salary. Thanks, Bloom.

    IDK, this offense seems like a downgrade from last year to me. This has 750 written all over it.
  8. mvp 78
    Yes, I've watched a few of their games. I thought I'd end up checking out a lot of Portland games early on, but haven't seen any yet. I've also watched a few WOO games and a couple innings of Greenville, but nothing substantial.
  9. mvp 78
    Oh come on. 800? That's a nope. Only 7 teams scored 800 last year.
  10. mvp 78
    I always need eye wash after logging out.
  11. mvp 78
    He's above average for LF. In CF? Probably below average. His athleticism plays up, but he doesn't have great instincts out there. His jump on balls is good because of his burst speed, not his reaction or route running. His arm was 102nd out of 151 in the league last year for OFers. He's a better fielder than 2024 Benintendi.
  12. mvp 78
    That August dragged his 888 down with a 640 OPS. APR 832 MAY 962 JUN 742 JUL 844 AUG 640 SEP 656 First 2/3 good, last 1/3 bad. Easy enough to spot the difference.
  13. mvp 78
    It's clear that Bloom was indecisive and that was what all the reports stated. Other teams didn't even want to pick up the phone when he would call. It's clear that Breslow is far more decisive in how he has handled trades and working with other teams. Seems easy enough to put two and two together.

    The lack of loft has been concerning going back to last Spring Training.
  15. mvp 78
    He'd have to get there first and staying healthy is no given. Also, an August callup to AAA is probably too late for a September callup to MLB IMO. I assume he would follow more of the Xander/Mookie progression and would be in WOO for 40-50 games. He'd have to be called up in June/early July for that to work. With his injury track record, I just don't see them rushing him as there would be a tendency for him trying to do too much. He topped out at 91 games before. He's not going to play 150 this year.
  16. mvp 78
    It's the second quarter of week 2 and the damned QB threw another pick!!!!
  17. mvp 78
    From all reports, they were more concerned about the trade deadlines and Blooms inactivity than bad FA signings.
  18. mvp 78
    And when the Sox tried to pry the O's FO guys away from them for their open CBO position, they said no.
  19. mvp 78
    Through 7/25/23, he had an 888 OPS. That's 2/3's of the season.
  20. mvp 78
    1% at most.
  21. mvp 78
    Brennan Bernardino is 32!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. mvp 78
    Mayer - injured in '22 Mayer - injured in '23 Mayer - rushed to MLB in '24? It doesn't make sense. I could see Anthony getting called up and maybe Teel. Mayer is a good player, but would need to bang the door down the way Benintendi and Devers were and I don't think he's that type of hitter. They'd be better off bringing him along slower than the other two.
  23. mvp 78
    It's the lack of RHB. Even the young guys coming up are LHB... I'm totally not concerned about it.
  24. mvp 78
    They ran into some great prospects though. A lot of other teams are picking high in the draft and missing. O's have had a bunch of hits lately.
  25. mvp 78
    No comment. I get the excitement for his extension, but I think there was less than a 50% chance that he was going to make over 50M over that time period. Dude just hasn't hit AT ALL at the MLB level. Sure he can field, but those guys aren't making a ton of ARB money.
