  1. Are you saying trade Anthony or move him to 1B/DH?
  2. Wake was another one of my faves.
  3. Woo won a pen games as Criswell was the opener (2 IP 0 ER) Anthony, Noda & Hickey had 2 hits in the 3-1 win. POR lost 5-4, as they allowed 4 in the 9th. Ehrhard, Jordan & Castro had 2 hits. GRE lost 5-0 as Valera let up 2 ERs in 3.1. Arias & Brannon had 2 hits. SAL lost 7-3, as Aita let up 10 hits and 4ER in 6. Gonzales, Encarnacion & Salazar had 2 hits.
  4. Don't scare me like this!
  5. Exactly! Noda shows just how urgent things are and the extent a team can go to try and fix an issue. The winter was the time to make sure we were set at 1B for depth, especially after we dealt away Gaspar and Meidroth. They could have also asked Devers about 1B way back when he was complaining about not being on the field while DH'ing.
  6. Agreed, and I always felt Pivetta as underappreciated by Sox fans. He was our 4/5 starter who often pitched as well or better than many teams' #3 or even #2 guy.
  7. I think Mayer will be fine, but we need Bregman back as soon as possible. I hope it's just 10-15 days,, and when he gets back, Mayer has earned his stay.
  8. We really have not been able to get one of our many mediocre type or semi-promising pen depth guys to earn a slot on the staff.
  9. I hear you, and not that these guys have been babied for so long, suddenly asking them to pitch 110 pitches in a game and 190+ IP would likely make their arm fall off.
  10. We kinda got lucky with Dom Smith, last year. The Garrett Coopers are more like norm for May additions.
  11. Unless Mayer is already holding down a FT infield slot, and Story or Campbell have gotten hurt or sucked so badly, they lose their job, I would not move Rafaela out of CF and into the IF.
  12. I don't disagree. I will say, we do have an extra pitcher for the DBLHDR. 77 pitches is not a lot for a young pitcher, but he's only pitched over 72 innings, twice in his career, and never over 126 IP. At this rate, he may end up with 150, so maybe some caution is not a wild concept.
  13. We traded for a 1Bman and have KC working out at 1B. It may be little, but it's not none.
  14. A few people could dislodge Casas from his role as the worst defensive China doll, 1Bman in MLB
  15. Jh Garcia is off to a nice start with Woo. 3-4 in first game, today. He's nearing a 1.400 OPS! He's 1-2, so far in game 2. (Anthony homered in game 2.) Uberstine pitched well in the 2-1 win in the 7 innings game 1.
  16. After tonight's game, we'll be 1/3 through the season and at .500 or +2. Here are the WAR numbers (before today's game) fWAR Player bWAR 2.5 Bregman (going on the IL) 3.0 bWAR 2.1 Devers (not easy for a DH only) 2.3 1.9 Crochet (the savior?) 2.21.7 Narvaez (steal of the winter?) 1.9 1.2 Abreu (slowed a bit) 1.8 1.1 Rafaela (tremendous D) 1.8 0.9 Duran (probably over 1.0, after today) 1.0 0.7 Newcomb (Hmm...) -0.2 0.6 Dobbins 0.4 0.5 Chapman 0.9 0.5 Slaten 0.0 0.5 Refsnyder (unreal for 54 PAs) 0.6 0.4 Whitlock & Wilson 0.3 Buehler & Weissert 0.2 Fitta, Bernardino, KC & Romy 0.1 DHam, Kelly, Wink, Liam, Bello & Gio
  17. Thanks to the O's, we are back over .500 and 1 back in the way too early WC race. Gotta keep it rolling, here. GO SOX!
  18. The obvious choice is DH, but we have one firmly entrenched there and apparently not willing to budge. Another option could be to move the best defensive CF'er in MLB to middle infield, but that seems drastic.
  19. Maybe Criswell gets a chance to start a game. He did well as a starer.... ...way back in 2024.
  20. I remember thinking that 10games at 3B for Bogey, before he was called up was too little. I think Mayer has 6 games at 3B, scattered over a few seasons. He only has 10 at 2B, so that option was not really better. We gotta do what we gotta do. Good luck, Marcelo. You are now under the spotlight.
  21. Penrod pitched a scoreless inning for the FCL Sox, today.
  22. Have they said, he'll play 3B? (Or, who will?)
  23. Another big hit by Devers. Big smile. Nice win. Now, keep it rolling.
