As I said in my reply to your earlier post, I mostly agree.
There are definitely some bright spots to temper the frustration. But still, I can't say I'm happy with this new Red Sox era of mediocrity and future-gazing.
Not well, I'm afraid. Everyone seems to agree now he's a DH. $313.5 million is a lot of dough for a DH. Should have spent it on Betts, obviously. Thanks Henry!
I don't know man, if anything the power teams seem to be separating themselves early. Dodgers/Braves/Phillies/Yankees/Orioles are all playing .650 ball.
There's no need to worry about the 2024 Red Sox. Their fate is pretty much assured.
When we look back the loss of Casas will likely be seen as a crusher to any chances of making the playoffs.
Yes, and I know a lot of this is the bipolar syndrome that the early season can bring.
On the other hand, you picked them to win 79 and I picked them to win 80, and I don't see much reason to alter those projections.
And of course people complain about players not hustling, not having their heads in the game, not playing when they've got some minor health issue, et cetera.
