  1. Wins in April mean as much as wins in September, agreed. Talk about the third wild card in April, not so much…
  2. And Boras was his agent last year, too. If Bregman gets the $160mill offer, which I assume is over 6 years since they compared it to Matt Chapman, that means he would get $200mill over 7 years. Certainly a good deal. But if he stays in Boston all 3 years, he could equal that with a 4 year $80mill deal. Will that offer be there at age 34? Hard to say. Christian Walker is 3 years older than Bregman (almost to the day) and got a 3 year $60mill contract this off-season. That $40mill AAV is tough to walk away from. If Bregman opts out, it makes more sense after 2026…
  3. It’s weird to list out 4 Red Sox, give Travis Shaw second billing, and then look at the list and think “ yeah, seems about right.”
  4. That’s because they’re all breaking on him…
  5. I missed that. But then I just got back from Minneapolis…
  6. 5’7” is pushing it. It’s like looking at Andrew Vaughn listed at 6’0” and thinking “Right. If feet were now 10 inches instead of 12.”
  7. Definitely Story needs some benching. That he has 9 hits in his last 21 at bats just shows how badly he fits in with this team…
  8. The Rays scored 9 runs in the third inning tonight. I was going to say the Rays got more runs in that inning than the Sox will get in this series. Then it occurred to me that might also be true about the 4 runs the Rays scored in the second…
  9. So… pitching debut for Rob Refsnyder tonight?
  10. That’s not a flattering story about Grandal. Anderson certainly has shown he has some temper issues as well, but Grandal should have known better. And there’s no excuse for leaving a day early outside of certain family issues. (Or you’re a SP.) Catcher off day or not, you dont leave your team short-handed.
  11. Merloni is an excellent call here…
  12. Duran has a sub.600 OPS and his defense appears to have reverted to 2023 and before. Why is he repeatedly handed the starting role? Plenty of time left, but if anyone suspected 2024 was a fluke year for Duran, he’s done nothing to disprove them so far…
  13. Cora could certainly push for Mayer and Anthony, but for all we know he is asking for them daily. Can’t fault him for that lack of call up. Casas is a slow starter, but why make it even slower?
  14. I think I’d be happier if he’d just stop platooning Casas with a guy who hits LHP worse than Casas does. I’d’ also recommend not platooning defensive question mark Refsnyder with Abreu, but I at least know why he does it
  15. This game, fine. But this year I don’t like him much and he does hinder the team with his bizarre dedication to platoons. So yes he is frustrating me this season…
  16. Pinch runner to get the potential lead run into scoring position while Cora does nothing to move his struggling offense this series, except bench players with favorable match ups…
  17. People focus on errors, but Rafaela throwing to third base there is the kind of bad defense no one should tolerate…
  18. The problem is the almost complete lack of any hard hit ball. Story actually did hit his double pretty hard, but everything else on this game was lackluster and routine. The White Sox defense isn’t being tested, unless you count their trying to stay awake due to lack of action…
