  1. MLB.com Injury Report on Crochet (updated yesterday) Expected return: First or second week in June Status: Threw his third side session in the span of a week, this time two innings, on May 20. Will throw one more short bullpen before facing hitters at some point early next week.
  2. Duran could easily be the key to 2026. Maybe Anthony could be more impactful, but as of right now, Duran looks like the difference maker. Much of his jump is over these past 2 games, so we should be cautious about over-pumping him up, but who else looks like they can or might step it up a couple notches? Since going to the #1 slot on May 1st: .310 OBP and .514 SLG but it was .270/.379 in the 16 games before Tuesday's game. We needed a third guy to step up, and hopefully he will do it. Now, who can be the 4th guy? Anthony or Mayer? Narvaez? Does Rafaela have another notch to climb? .794 Narvaez after first 12 games (last 21 games) .643 Mayer in last 26 games .555 Durbin after first 6 games Yoshida has been heading downwards. .770 Gasper in 10 games .732 Sogard in 4 games .682 Monasterio in 26 games (.769 last 14 games) .674 IKF after first 4 games (last 20 games) .850 last 12 games
  3. It helps having good pitching. Earned Runs Allowed in last 23 games: 60 (2.63 ERA) Zero ERs 3 times 1 ER 4 times (7 out of 23 was 0-1 ER!) 2 ERs 7 times (14/23 was 0-2 ERs!) 3 ERs 4 times (18 out of 23 games saw 0-3 ERs allowed) We are 13-5 in those games.
  4. BTV has Duran's current value at 16. That seems about right. A few days ago, I might have said it's bit too high. The have Anthony 52, Rafaela 48, Tolle 47, Arias 46, Mayer 45, Abreu 44, Early 39, Crochet 38 Narvaez 26, Witherspoon 17 Duran & Durbin 16, Suarez 14, Eyanson & Soto 13, Phillips 11, Azocar & Gonzales 10 Slaten 9, Godbout 8, Cespedes 7 Valera & Romy 6, Holobetz & Bennett 5 -37 Story (owed $48M) In theory, we could trade him and "save" 9M to be even. -19 Yoshida (owed $31M) We could maybe "save" $12M trading him. -15 Bello (owed $49M) They say he will bring $34M value to his team! -5 Sandoval (owed $9M) "save $4M?" LOL -4 Gray (owed $18M) -3 Chapman, Houck & IKF -2 Crawford & Whitlock, -1 Casas & Oviedo
  5. BTV says the Sox make a minor over pay for this: Witherspoon, Phillips & Wong for Paredes & Janek
  6. The Braves are one of the leading teams in extending young players. One trade of vets wipes all that out? When it works, it works. Most of ours are still TBD.
  7. A quick glance at the teams ahead of the 22-27 Red Sox: 23-27 MIN- 11 batters over 110 PA: 3 in .500s, 3 in .600s, 3 in 700's (2 over .900) 103 ERA+ with 4 of top 5 SP under 3.63 ERA _______________________ 24-27 SEA- 10 batters over 100 PAs: 1 in 400's, 1 in 500s, 2 in 600s, 3 in 700s, 3 in 800s 108 ERA+ with 4 SP'ers under 4.45 _______________________ 24-25 TEX (WC slot) 9 batters over 100 PAs: 2 in 500s, 2 in 600s, 3 in 700s, 2 in 800s 105 ERA+ w 4 SP'ers under 4.35 ________________________ 24-24 Athletics 10 batters over 100: 1 in 500s, 2 in 600s, 3 in 700s, 1 in 800s and 3 in 900s! 105 ERA+ with 4 SP'ers under 4.45 _______________________ 25-24 CWS 9 players over 96 PAs: 2 in 400s, 1 in 600s, 3 in 700s, 2 in 800s, 1 in 900s 101 ERA+ (worst of this group) Only 1 SP'er below 4.10, but 4 below 4.30 _________________________ Red Sox: 10 batters over 100 PAs: 1 in 400s, 2 in 500's, 3 in 600s, 2 in 700s, 2 in 800s 110 ERA+ (Best of this group) w 4 SP'ers under 3.21 and 3 under 2.93
  8. Yes, I went off track. Your Rushing suggestion might have worked real well. MVP was saying "prospects" all winter.
  9. Funny, but I think he tells the truth. He may be wrong, but he's not knowingly saying false things. 🙃
  10. If TOR loses to NYY, we'll be in 3rd place all alone. If they win, it means the Yanks lost. We still remain 2 GB from the WC slot, but only 2 teams are between us and TEX (MN & SEA,) and I still think the CWS, Athletica and Rangers can easily go on a long losing stretch. Hell, only the Yanks and Rays sorta look "for real."
  11. Agreed. I did not think Duran for Paredes was worth it. I wanted 2 from King, Sousa or Janek, but later thought just one would be worth it. I'm not sure HOU would have done 1 for 1.
  12. He was known as a solid defensive catcher when we made the trade.
  13. Bennett K'd 11 in 5 IP, tonight. 0 BB 7 hits and 1 ER allowed.
  14. The Braves are dipsh**s?
  15. Cespedes hit his 8th dinger (.911) and Guzman his 3rd in GRE's loss. Berrios got lit up.
  16. The increased focus may be paying off quicker than we imagined. Samaniego is another rookie pitcher doing well. (1.10 ERA and .616 OPS Against) Bennett did okay (4.35/ .736) Watson- not so good. Rivera, Uberstine & Gamboa have 7 IP, 4 hits, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 Ks (1.29 ERA)
  17. Nope. The Rays scored 4 in the 8th. 3/4. BOS & TOR 21-27 5. BAL 21-29
  18. Why'd we trade Brasier? Why'd as team like LAD trade for him? (Hint: they hoped he'd do better.)
