    Those two wins felt huge yesterday for different reasons. The late come-from-behind win. The big bats booming. Willy continuing to be the greatest player the sport has ever seen, the fans were into it, the team was loving it. Felt like the real launch of our season.

    I'm more than fine being nowhere near that contract for Vlady. Crazy money. There's no guarantee the LT will still be a thing after the next negotiations, but if it is we've made plenty of smart moves recently.

    Love the additional pick and money this deal has brought. Would have been happy if it had just been that. I do like cut of Breslow's jib.
  4. Hitch
    I get exhausted just thinking about your continued need to type bres-slow.

    Sure but he's hardly played. If this continues, then yes, he's a big as bust. If he plays it'll be merely disappointing.
  6. Hitch
    He would have to be near useless for the remainder to be that bad I think.

    Breslow looks great to me. Good mix of smart analytic's guy with being a player and already lived the life of a player. Also, decisive. I don't give a damn on the people we missed out on, I'm just glad we got him.

    I could live with that when Mayer comes up even if he would be a pricey UTIL. Alongside Hamilton and (possibly eventually Rafaela when Anthony comes up) that's a lot of high quality, athletic coverage.

    Campbell gave comments to the Athletic yesterday that Story was who he turned to when he was struggling in ST and he helped calm him down and get him on the right track again. When are rightly obsessed with stats and analytics, but sometimes there's things that don't show up that we forget about. Story is a good clubhouse guy and great for the kids alongside Bregman.

    It really doesn't. It's been particularly wild to start this season. The only thing I've really been worried about is Devers, but he's looked far better at the plate going back to the first game against the Orioles, even if he does still seem to be behind the fastball. That said, he had a nothing of a ST. This team is going to be there or thereabouts as long as we stay healthy.

    I think we have very similar philosophy's on how to build and run a successful club, and I like(d) Bloom, and always subscribe the view that judging anyone has to be over a much larger timeline than the time they were solely hired. Bloom got a lot right, but my biggest issue with him as that he was too hesitant and overthought things (I've seen MassLive release articles suggesting the same thing). There were chances to supercharge our rebuild by selling at two deadlines and he couldn't being himself to make the decision and stand by it, instead taking the middle road that got us nowhere. If he learns from that, he'll be a successful Exec I've no doubt.

    That's been a very enjoyable 2 days. The dark clouds have lifted. Campbell's contract is going to be a steal.
  13. Hitch
    Good opening at bat by Devers. Still a bit late on some fast balls but a little more closed off stance wise and seeing the pitches well.
  14. Hitch
    As already mentioned, it's not ST that worries me. Hopefully he'll be back to what we saw first half of last year.
  15. Hitch
    Win and we're WS contenders. Lose and 4 of the starting line ups need to be melted down for glue.
  16. Hitch
    If we can eek out a win later, this will have been a decent start to the season. 3-4 against two very tough teams to open on the road is not too bad, and with the contract extensions as well... But Houck needs to be in a better place than he's been.
  17. Hitch
    And just like that, all is well with the world again..
  18. Hitch
    Absolutely love this deal. Great work by the FO.
  19. Hitch
    This is likely true. It's always the trade deadlines that come to my mind though.
  20. Hitch
    If something was happening with the bats, i would welcome it. We could do with more offence in the game. the pitchers and spin rates are winning at the moment! Though I suspect like above - they'll just get banned.
  21. Hitch
    As with all GM's - some good, some bad, some shared blame, some shared success. Those two deadlines are what I always think of when I think of him however. So frustrating.
  22. Hitch
    Kimmi! So glad you came back!
  23. Hitch
    They replaced Burnes with Morton. Considering the core position players they have, it's somewhat odd they haven't gone hard for a big pitcher.
  24. Hitch
    Yeah, there really is no need to panic at this point. Every game thread the world is ending, often three times an inning, but on the flip side, in what is expected to be a very close race this year, we can't be giving too big a head-start to others either, even with a very tough opening two series on the road.
  25. Hitch
    I disagree, but for the opposite reasons to my dislike of Casas. I want to believe
