  1. Per Statcast, he's 21st in OF reaction, which is better than Verdugo and Abreu. What he's not good at is his route: 84th in the league. His great speed and quick reaction time overcomes his bad instincts and routing to the ball.
  2. I think Bloom was ready to have him in the pen fulltime as he was put through the ringer with Whitlock previously. Breslow needs to see it for himself. For 2024, we're getting the Whitlock as a starter experiment. I hope it works. He has the stuff for it, but his body doesn't seem like it wants to hold up.
  3. The defense should settle down. The offense has just been too all or nothing so far.
  4. I think it may also take a few start for these guys to get back up to speed. April was most likely the high watermark for the pitching. Unfortunately, it wasn't super great for the offense.
  5. He missed a called strike due to the McGuire steal which lead to a longer AB for Rafaela and ultimately a go ahead HR.
  6. Cora was pissed when Casas tried stealing. I don't think he was super happy about his catcher going for third. IDK. I didn't see any postgame quotes about it.
  7. "I don't really want to listen to a guy who actually used to play the game professionally, I'd rather listen to the guys who get paid to be shitstirrers like CHB." Yup, that tracks.
  8. If the injuries continue, there's zero chance the ERA+ sticks around for the full season.
  9. If ATL is almost as bad as the Sox defensively, the Sox have a chance!
  10. If we're doing SSS, it'd be Zanetello: 1347 OPS, 524 OBP, 6 G, 6 R, 7 H
  11. Lugo is el fuego: 2-2 w 7th HR and BB So I was right saying that Lugo should be the org's hottest hitter?
  12. @ByAndrewParker Looks like Joely Rodriguez has accepted his outright assignment to Worcester. He is on the field and warming up with the WooSox pitchers. Believe he had enough service time to reject it and become a free agent.
  13. “Hernández has failed to establish a statistically significant disparity between the promotion rates of white and minority umpires,” the 2nd Circuit said in an 11-page decision. “MLB has provided persuasive expert evidence demonstrating that, during the years at issue, the difference in crew chief promotion rates between white and minority umpires was not statistically significant. Hernández offers no explanation as to why MLB’s statistical evidence is unreliable.”
  14. You think he'll rehab all next season?
  15. That title should go to Matthew Lugo.
  16. Johanfran is a good bat, but his defense may not be good enough to get him to MLB. He may be moved off the position especially since he put on weight this offseason. Not sure that his bat is good enough for a DH profile.
  17. @alexspeier Red Sox prospect Johanfran Garcia - off to a monster start in 2024 - was carted off the field for Single-A Salem yesterday. For now, it’s been diagnosed as a right knee sprain, but there hasn’t been imaging to this point.
  18. CB Bucknor and Laz Diaz are really bad behind the plate as well.
  19. I was a math major then got an MBA/Master's in Accounting. I still can't spell for s*** and don't know how to use commas properly. I do love reading though.
  20. Not sure why Pivetta coming back would change how I feel about Bloom?
  21. Twins hitting and relief has been good. Their starters have let them down so far. Doesn't help that they let Gray and Maeda leave. Lopez and Ryan are decent and they'll be in games 2 and 3. Need to take the first game for sure.
  22. Very weird indeed.
  23. The next update to the grade will be when Teel/Anthony/Mayer/etc are all getting their chances.
