  1. In case anyone missed it, Cora said Devers will NOT be playing 3B at all any more.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 2 of the teams are only 1/162 through!
  5. OK, this is the silliest stat nugget ever. You win. 😁
  6. Leiter actually looked pretty good. He's certainly got the velocity.
  7. I think our offense will struggle a bit to score runs until Devers really shows up again.
  8. Meanwhile Mookie gets off his deathbed to hit 2 homers including a game-winning 3 run job.
  9. Well, if he is really and truly 100%, that would make me feel better about it.
  10. 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.
  11. Going back to the end of last year, Devers has struck out 16 times in 5 games.
  12. 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.
  13. Refsnyder hit .941 against lefties last year. The Red Sox as a team hit .728. He will get his at-bats.
  14. But where exactly do you fit him in if Devers is healthy? Who does he replace? These pesky roster rules are a bit of an impediment.
  15. Don't forget '20 was only 40% pay. But OK, I'll just stick with highest pay for one year.
  16. Abreu can probably improve. But I agree that Ref will get his starts against lefties. This kind of juggling is child's play for Cora.
  17. Yoshida could beat both records. Castillo's years of total exile were 2016-2019.
  18. His only real opening is if Devers has to go on the IL, which is not really what you want.
  19. Devers did nothing to dispel concerns about where he is. He's still #1 on my list of concerns.
  20. Quite possible, but I think Cora will find Ref enough ABs against lefties to keep him sharp.
  21. Rusney Castillo's franchise record for highest paid AAA player is about to be eclipsed.
  22. Did he really say "oh shoot"? This guy is doing everything right so far.
  23. Mind you if the Dodgers get there again and their rotation is mostly healthy, they will be "prohibitive" favorites. Big if there of course.
  24. All their eggs are in one basket!
