  1. I have, before. When it's late in a season and we are down 1-2 games in the WC race, I think of the many winnable games we let slip away, and sometime a single game or two stick out.
  2. Kristian Campbell He's already shown he belongs in the bigs.Roman Anthony Overdue for the big call.Marcelo Mayer Currently blocked.Franklin Arias He's got the D, already, and has looked good on O.Yoeilin Cespedes Been my sleeper prospect for a while.Luis Perales Needs healthBrandon Clarke Small sample size, I know...Jhostynxon Garcia Always liked this guy- maybe too much.Richard Fitts Looks better than I expected.Yophery Rodriguez Liking the trade.Connelly Early This could be the year he opens eyes.David Sandlin Hope to see him in AAA, soon.Mikey Romero Finally fulfilling the early promises.Justin Gonzales Let's see how he does when promoted.Hunter Dobbins Looked pretty good in the bigs.Johanfran Garcia Coming back from a long off.Payton Tolle Has some tools.Dorian Soto Pure speculation.Juan Valera Looking human, lately.Dalvinson Reyes Not sure why I like him this much.
  3. Agreed, but asking first is not a bad idea.
  4. This is the kind of loss you look back at, later in the season.
  5. Woo outhit Toledo 8-4 but lost 2-1. Wink did okay, but not much else to report. POR is up 3-1 after winning game one 3-2. Romero and Jh Garcia are getting things done, today. GRE is down 6-5, late, but not because of Clarke: 4.2 1H 0ER 0BB 7K SAL up 4-3, late, as Cohen has pitched a gem in relied: 5.1 IP, 1H, 0ER, 1BB, 3K. de Lon homered.
  6. I'm not expecting Gio to keep this up, all year, but it is very nice to see his first Sox outing look like this!
  7. Maybe, if they were asking with the idea that they will play him there, no matter what he answers, I see your point, but it does seem like the best way to approach the situation, after what happened with the DH move. It is likely better than them coming up to him, one day, and saying, here is a 1Bman's mitt: we want you to go out and show us what you can do in practice at 1B. You think that sits better with him (and the team?)
  8. Devers just hit the .800 mark as April comes to a close. No, I'm not "giddy" or about to say "I told you so," because I had no idea how long his troubles would continue. I did think his hard hit% being so high was a clue that maybe we were too hung up on the low BA and OPS. I hope he's "BACK" for good or "forevers!"
  9. Monegro went 3.2 IP allowing 5H, 1ER, 0BB and 7Ks in the 3-2 loss by POR. Romero had 2 of the team's 3 hitsn(.944,) while Jh Garcia has one w a BB (.907.)
  10. I mentioned this over the winter and also suggested that if Casas and Devers shared DH/1B, maybe both could play 80+80 for 160. That could get both a lot more PAs, if it helps them stay healthy. (I'm still assuming Casas will start hitting well, again.)
  11. A Gio start could turn into a pen game, very quickly. The odds may be close to even on who pitches more innings: YR or LG?
  12. LOL, I didn't see your post, but you know, I've been talking about it for over a year.
  13. From the Sox perspective, which is better? $160M/4 with optout after every season or $180M/5 with no opt out (or one after 2 more seasons) What's better for Bregman?
  14. To me, one big surprise- not the biggest- is the performance by our 3 SP'ers that were slotted around 8th to 12th on the winter rotation depth chart, especially when compared with the combined numbers of the only top 5 depth chart SP'ers who have seen action, this season: 4.18 ERA in 21 GS by Crochet, Houck, Buehler & Bello (118.1 IP- 55 ER) 3.58 ERA in 10 GS by Dobbins, Fitts & Newcomb (50.1 IP- 20 ER)
  15. Injury updates by MLB.com: May 1st Wong ??? Fitts is throwing 120 ft but not off the mound yet. Cora says he's "feeling better." ??? Yoshida will visit Boston's training staff on May 2nd to discuss trouble progressing with his throwing program. ??? Crawford may start facing live hitters, soon. Sandoval & Murphy on 60 day. Sandoval is throwing 105 ft and Murphy off the mound.
  16. I'm not sure Wong can or will ever hit lefties as well as Romy has, recently. Plus, and interesting factoid: Wong's career splits: .711 v R and .686 v L.
  17. Career for Judge: .986 MAR/APR .985 July .980 AUG (Those are his only months below 1.000. He is doesn't like cold or hot- just warm.
  18. The thing about slow starts to a season, if that his OPS his shown on the screen every AB. If a player has a stretch like this in July, his OPS might show at .725, whan maybe it was at .850 the month before. Hardly anybody gets all worried and starts calling for a benching. Plus, some batter are just more streaky than others.
  19. You can just ask him how he feels about playing 1B. Doing that is not going to shake the clubhouse foundation, if he says no, and the club chooses to not try hi at 1B.
