    Before motorcycles, pitchers would just throw the ball as hard as they could, and then they’d go get it and throw it again and go get it. They would keep repeating this process for an hour. Then someone would see how many miles away they were…

    Exactly. What headline gathers more readers? ”Devers accepts new position, moves on.” or ”Devers claims third base is his, will fight all interlopers to the death!!”?

    I think he has bigger concerns than media missteps. His job is to play baseball and hit very hard. If he chooses to focus on getting ready and being pain-free so he can do his job, I have absolutely no issues with that…

    Someone has to bat ninth. And hey, when you’re just looking for a short term injury replacement, getting a guy who can field his position (and throw) might work for a stopgap. Plus, per StatCast, Eaton runs faster than David Hamilton and throws almost as hard as Aroldis Chapman. We got nowhere for that skill set?

    Yoshida/Refsnyder in LF?
  6. notin
    Only if Hamilton/Romy wins the 2b job over Campbell, Mayer and Grissom. He is helped by being on the 40 man but hurt by a lack of outfield experience…

    We all know you’re retiring in Fort Myers, bringing nothing with you but your stopwatch and trusty radar gun…

    I think they had a better idea of whether or not those pitchers would step up than you’re giving them credit for…

    Still better than Kevin Slowey or Grant Balfour…

    So what if the Sox kept Sale and didn’t sign Giolito or make other moves for the rotation? Without the benefit of hindsight, would that have been a better plan?
  11. notin
    Calling the deal “ill-advised” was based on hindsight. There’s a big difference between an ill-advised trade and one that didn’t work out. Would the Sale trade have been ill-advised if Sale had torn a ligament in his elbow last spring training?

    Campbell and Mayer are not options yet, which leaves Grissom third on your depth chart behind a platoon and …. leaving a gaping hole on the right side of the infield?!? The first two are not on the 40 man roster, and the one banging his way doesn’t play 2b, and the one who does play 2b isnt banging his way on to the roster. Hamilton and Romy are last year’s story. Campbell isnt likely. That really just leaves Marcelo Mayer or the 2021 version of Marcelo Mayer based catapulted through the Braves farm system aka Vaughn Grissom…

    What a stupid article. Clearly the assignment was “Jackson, post something about the Red Sox by Thursday. And nothing about Devers. Make it something new.l Essentially it boils down to “The Red Sox were stupid and impatient for giving up on Sale after 4 years of no production that was preceded by his worst season ever. But they should learn a valuable lesson from that impatience and give up on Grissom NOW because he has had over 100 PA with the big club and didn’t set the world on fire and now there’s a ‘roster crunch’ among the utility infielders, all of whom have options.” A roster crunch? Like the Sox have Paul Molitor and Ryne Sandberg battling it out for second base.

    Fulmer has had TJ twice already. Maybe he’s best left in the bullpen…
  15. notin
    3 pitchers down and the TJ veterans (Crochet, Buehler) still standing for the moment? Kyle Gibson and Drew Smyly still need work…
  16. notin
    Extension!!!!
  17. notin
    Moving Devers up from third to second in the lineup gets roughly 18 more PA. In theory, more PA from Devers is a good thing…
  18. notin
    Then why not just say that?
  19. notin
    And then what?
  20. notin
    Crochet, Houck, Buehler, Priester, and Fitts. With Cooper Criswell on standby. When do things get serious enough to call Kyle Gibson’s agent?
  21. notin
    Adam Duvall needs work.,.

    I remember ESPN showing a Jack Clark bomb that “hit the Citgo sign.” It did kknd of look like it did because something flew into the path of the ball. But hit the Citgo sign? That sign is a good 400 yards behind the monster and some 35 floors up…

    Trayce Thompson! He’s the new Babe Ruth…

    Kinsman’s blast was in the famous 23-22 game, one that gets replayed often. It was his third of the day, but there were a slew of home runs that day. But there most legendary Wrigley home run was off the bat of Glenallen Hill back in 2000. Distance estimates vary from 490 to 510 feet all the way up to 700 feet (by Hill himself). While probably a bit under his own estimate, Hill did reach one of the rooftops across the street that had never been reached before in the history of the ballpark…

    Well, with all the injuries happening to this team, who plays where is more likely to depend on who is still standing come opening day…
