    The whole idea of picking a single date for when the impact of the lackadaisical spring wore off is silly. Every pitcher got into the groove on his own schedule and the improvements weren’t denoted by a singular point. Some of them still might have occasional momentary lapses...

    OMG they all grow up that way now!! My daughter hates it when I tell her that getting better is up to her. But she finally decided to listen and we spent half the spring in batting cages and playing catch and now she’s going to her first All Star tournament. (This is not a travel team, however. That stuff is crazy!)

    No, because he still has 0 blown saves. He turned a 10-3 game into a 10-6 game. I’m not fretting his performance as a short term mop up guy. But Dombrowski better rise from his spring-summer hibernation and add an actual MLB arm someplace on this team to replace Kelley at some point...

    I lost the ability to take this post that borders on Conspiracy Theory very seriously. You’re actually saying to Benintendi “It’s not your fault!! It’s Big Baseball! They did it to you!!”

    Well, most of that damage came against one guy making his MLB debut. Trevor Kelley has not been part of the problems the Sox pen has had recently...

    Already did. The name Steven Wright ring a bell?
  7. notin
    He does hold the record as the first (only?) first baseman in MLB history to get 3 assists in one inning...

    Rusney time!!

    His OPS in AAA is .999. Same as Chad De La Guerra’s...

    So even when DD presses the panic button and has to take evasive action, he does nothing....
  12. notin
    And he should be. The Rays spent about a quarter of what he spent on the Sox but are 4 1/2 games ahead...

    So.... you think it’s either Tony Massarotti or Gerry Callahan?
  14. notin
    As well as a comparison to how likable Mariners’ fans are...

    I still think he’s blaming Thunder for stopping watching Seagal movies...

    Well that may have been a negotiation ploy. The highest-paid relievers make about what he makes now under a contract for a mid-rotation starter. And if it was a negotiation ploy, it worked. Or, he just wants to start. Not eliminating that possibility either...

    The Sox are third in MLB at 5.51 R/G, behind only theYankees and Twins, while getting subpar production from Betts and Benintendi. Certainly it would be great if both could turn it around, but the season doesn’t depend on it...

    The “bullpen every fifth day” is s bad, Bad, BAD idea. The pen has been overworked and has underperformed. The idea should NOT be to try and get more innings out of them...
  19. notin
    Actually he would. He was a starter then, having throw a 9 IP shutout the day before...

    Trevor Kelley was called up today. He could be a real shot in the arm for this bullpen, meaning he could be painful and not enjoyed by anyone. Also make small children cry. Or not...
  21. notin
    I really hope the Sox don’t do the opener thing. Right now the main purpose of their rotation should be to keep the bullpen off the mound...
  22. notin
    While I prefer that idea, can he physically handle it? Even knuckle ballers have to have some stamina in their arm and shoulder...
  23. notin
    I think maybe a starter. I originally assumed a “starter turned swingman” who could go to the bullpen when Eovaldi returned. Then I assumed it would be Shane Greene Now I’m thinking a starter - with Mets’ PR blunder Jason Vargas climbing to the top of the list of affordable candidates...

    Especially since television was still in its early stages and televised commercials were only 8 years old at the time...

    I can wait for the official cause of death. But before anyone assumes it’s an overdose (or an adverse medical reaction), it is worth noting his father passed away at 40. So it could be congenital...
