BTV accepted Brasier for DeJong and $6M.

It's very hard to trade for impact player in April and May. It almost never happens. That's not to say it can't happen. Reynolds might be the one guy available, but his asking price has been too high for any team to match. BTV accepts: Mayer for Reynolds Casas, Yorke, Walter & Duran for Reynolds (I'm not sure PIT accepts this one.) Do you approve of either deal?

.455 4 14 in 37 PAs Duvall .197 11 43 in 351 PAs The rest of the team

We are 5-5 after 2 cycles of our patchwork rotation. Here are our SP'er numbers (ERA/WHIP) 0.90/1.100 Pivetta (5.10 FIP) 4.50/1.100 Houck (5.10) 6.48/1.680 Kluber (8.44) 8.00/1.667 Crawford (5.73) 12K: 2 BB/ 3 HRs in 9IP 11.25/2.00 Sale (8.90) 4 HRs in 8 IP The pen has been a strength, so far: 0.00/1.667 Jansen (2.73) 1.00/0.667 Winck (1.95) 9 IP is 3rd on team (8K:1BB) 1.35/1.350 Kelly (4.60) 1.50/1.330 Martin (5.73) 1.80/1.600 Schreiber (3.40) 6.00/1.667 Bleier (2.40) 6.00/1.333 Ort (1.40) No BBs in 6 IP! 9.00/1.800 Brasier (5.40) I still feel, if we can lessen the IP by our bottom 3 pen guys and replace Crawford in the rotation with a successful Whitlock, our staff can be an overall plus.

It's the way of the world, now. Sensationalism and focusing on the worst in everyone. I can see how this part of the book was something Sox fans would be interested in. I can see why someone, especially a non-Sox fan, would bring it to our intention. ' Just about every person of interest to the public faces this kind of scrutiny and exposure. It's no wonder, we end up with weirdos and narcissists running for public offices. What sane person would seek this out?

He chose the most clickbait part of the book for Sox fans.

I was thinking more in line with their key scouting and developing people. Their GMs and managers seem to come and go, seamlessly.

These Rays are always doing better than what most pundits think they'll do. They have ex GMs and staff all over the league, but why is it so hard to emulate their system- or steal some key personnel away?

Why can't Bloom find guys like them?

I'd guess the Cards might pay part of his deal or like Bloom likes, throw in a prospect.

Yes, that 0.00 ERA is a joke. Your Sox reclamation projects are working, so far.

That's what I thought back in March.

He's your longtime punching bag, for some reason, but at he does deserve harsh criticism. In his defense, of the top 9 batters by PAs on the Sox, 5 have better OBPs, counting Duval now on the IL, and 3 have worse (Arroyo, Casas & Wong.)

It's a place to drink, where your wife won't hunt you down.

I would not write Turner off, just yet. While it's true his OPS has dropped for 5 straight years, it had a starting point of .945 and was still .811 from 2021-2022. He ended last season as one of baseball's hottest hitter, and it wasn't over just a month or two: he hit .868 after May 9th (102 games and 426 PAs.) He hit .942 over his last 67 games and 280 PAs. He might b e all done, but let's see how the season plays out for Justin.

Tonight's Line-Up with No Duvall: 1. Kike SS 2. Devers 3B 3. Turner DH 4. Yoshida LF 5. Refsnyder CF 6. Verdugo RF 7. Arroyo 2B 8. Casas 1B 9. Wong C

Frostbite, too.

These old schoolers don't count walks as success.

Since it's the same wrist, I'd guess more than 12. Yes, Steve Adams reports it's broken: Red Sox center fielder Adam Duvall has been diagnosed with a distal radius fracture in his left wrist, manager Alex Cora announced to reporters Monday (Twitter link via Ian Browne of MLB.com). He’ll be placed on the 10-day injured list for now, with the expectation that he’ll miss several weeks of action. The team does not yet have an exact timetable for his expected recovery. Infielder Bobby Dalbec is up from Triple-A Worcester in place of Duvall, and utilityman Rob Refsnyder is slated to start tonight’s game in center field.

They did! Before 2022's season.

Hockey and Soccer, if you count shots on goal vs goals.

The problem with JBJ was that we always waited and waited for the "hot streak" he so often provided over his career. The guy had some of the most spectacular white hot streaks I can remember. Sometimes the length in between was unbearable, but the hope that it was coming, soon, I think kept him playing, perhaps more than he should have. Some cherry-picked time samples of JBJ's career: 2013: .395 first 43 PAs .755 last 64 (not really "white hot." 2014: .978 first 23 (not really a large sample size) .506 last 400 (a hint of long term futility, early in his career) 2015: .384 first 59 .962 last 196, including a white hot stretch of 1.361 over 102 PAs 2016: .679 first 81 .858 last 554, including 2 white hot streaks of 1.479 in 54 PAs and 1.153 in 149 (overlapping) 2017: .519 first 77 .995 middle 199 .589 last 265 2018: .503 first 142/.563 first 251 .793 last 393/ .851 last 284 2019: .421 first 125 .846 last 422, including 1.057 in a 157 stretch 2020: .593 first 82 .951 last 135 (1.008 last 71) 2021 MIL: .594 first 109 .463 last 286 2022: .730 first 35 .558 last 255 w BOS He has to be one of MLB's most streaky hitters, and almost always starting off cold.

I never said the title was clickbait. I'm not sure about the article in its totality. I think you posting just this snippet seems like clickbait, to me. It is news. It is worthy of reporting. I'm just saying it was presented to elicit emotional responses based one a man's down moments in life. It seemed like clickbait, to me. Maybe trolling would be a better term. I have n o issues, at all, with you, harmony. I enjoy your posts. I don't think any less of you over this.

I might rather see Chang at SS or Arroyo at SS and Dalbec at 2B than Bobby Dee at SS. What a mess!
