I didn’t read much about spring training nor pay much attention to it, but I do know he was delayed getting to Florida and then HE pushed his start date back even further. There’s been no mention of injury and we know he wasn’t happy about being moved off of 3rd. I don’t put pouting out of the question.
Can’t complain about the pitching in this series. 13 runs in 4 games; I’ll take that all season.
Devers pouting all spring training is going to be a factor for a while; he’s never been a fast starter, and now essentially he’s in Ft. Myers mode. Bright side is he only struck twice today.
I know Pudge used to catch 150 or so games a year, but at 77, do you think he could hold up for 120?
Varitek’s only 52 but appears to have put on a few(?) pounds since he retired.
Maybe they could each do 81.
Hate to break it to all of you, but scoreless means exactly that; no runs allowed, period. Fitts has allowed 2 runs, albeit unearned. Fernando’s record is safe for now
Agree on Youk overall as an analyst, but at least today’s comment wasn’t without merit, that was walk number 3 on the season (one of which Cora held up 4 fingers for).
The problem with Fred isn’t that he has the opinion of Rafaela that he does. That’s fine.
It’s that he feels the need to post it multiple times every game.
They’ve been behind Seattle all year, The Mariners have around 70 more than the Red Sox. The Rockies have more as well.
So 2nd in the AL and 3rd in MLB, which is probably where they will finish as the “race” isn’t particularly close in either direction.
I’d vote for a triple rainout.
luckily, unless I remember to VPN my TV to Atlanta, Buffalo or some other place out of the Midwest, I’ll be blacked out. The Twins are one of my 6 blackout teams.
The kids should be better. The really rough September the kids had may actually help that. The sophomore slump happens when kids think they know what they’re doing. This September should serve as a reminder to them that they don’t, and hopefully accelerate the last bit of development.
