    Devers's OPS in the 4 games is .111.
  2. Bellhorn04
    He's actually had more like 25 horrible games in a row counting the end of last year. And the reason that last year's games are also relevant is that we don't really know if the problems that existed then still exist or not.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Raffy only had 15 PAs in spring games after reportedly not picking up a bat all offseason. I get that this is one explanation for him looking so slow and rusty. But what gives us any confidence that the issues that prevented him from picking up a bat aren't still there? Did they magically disappear some time earlier this month?
  4. Bellhorn04
    I'm not buying the move to DH as being the problem. Per Red Sox Stats: Raffy’s stance was 51° open in the summer of 2023, it opened up to 68-70° by last summer, and through three games this year it’s open 77°. Why is he opening his stance so much? I have to think it's some sort of compensation for the shoulder issues. I also think that if his shoulders are still seriously bothering him he might not be fessing up about it.

    Yeah, I know, it is premature. But this stuff does happen. And finishing one season with 9 Ks in 3 games and starting the next with 10 Ks in 3 games is big-time unusual. Not even pitchers struck out at this kind of rate.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Dillon Lawson. The Yanks fired him because their offense had become a one-dimensional, home run or strikeout thing. I was baffled when the Sox hired him. Now he's been promoted to assistant hitting coach.
  7. Bellhorn04
    But do any of these other guys have 10 Ks in 3 games like Devers?
  8. Bellhorn04
    And just like that, 40% of the division is playing .333 ball!
  9. Bellhorn04
    I'm just afraid that whatever the issue is with his shoulders, it's debilitating in a career-threatening way.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I'm more than a little concerned about Devers. We've never seen anything like this kind of futility. He seems to be exactly the same as he was at the end of last season when they shut him down.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I'm going to have to side with you on this. Most seem to think we could only recover 5-6 million AAV if we trade him. Therefore, the opportunity cost of not trading him is 5-6 million. As a 5-6 million insurance policy for the offense, I think it makes sense to keep him. Hopefully they'll be straight with him that he's in Worcester until he's needed.

    Hot off the presses: https://nesn.com/2025/03/alex-cora-makes-hard-ruling-on-rafael-devers-red-sox-position/

    In case anyone missed it, Cora said Devers will NOT be playing 3B at all any more.
  14. Bellhorn04
    There's definitely a lot of money going down the tubes on that deal. We might as well resign ourselves to that. Just hope he can be an .850ish DH for a few more years.
  15. Bellhorn04
    The Zack Scott dude laid it down. The other thing they screwed up was that they talked about an extension for Devers pretty early on, when it would have been relatively cheap, but they nixed it because it would have resulted in more tax that year. They made some spectacular blunders that will continue to cost the team for years. But Polly says: Hopefully Brez can make us forget all that.
  16. Bellhorn04
    2 of the teams are only 1/162 through!
  17. Bellhorn04
    OK, this is the silliest stat nugget ever. You win. 😁
  18. Bellhorn04
    Leiter actually looked pretty good. He's certainly got the velocity.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I think our offense will struggle a bit to score runs until Devers really shows up again.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Meanwhile Mookie gets off his deathbed to hit 2 homers including a game-winning 3 run job.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Well, if he is really and truly 100%, that would make me feel better about it.
  22. Bellhorn04
    The Red Sox start off the season with not many days off so Cora was trying to get another inning out of his starter, who had only given up 2 runs in 5 innings. It's one of those tricky decisions for managers. It's all easy for us sitting at home.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Going back to the end of last year, Devers has struck out 16 times in 5 games.
  24. Bellhorn04
    And Cora will give Abreu the chance to show he can hit lefties. We just saw it in Game One. I don't think you could ask for a better manager in a situation like this.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Refsnyder hit .941 against lefties last year. The Red Sox as a team hit .728. He will get his at-bats.
