  1. Is Brewer more or less impressive than Franchy Cordero and his 1.257 OPS, 2 HRs and 7 RBI?..
  2. Maybe the Sox need to inquire about Paul DeJong. Trades in April/May are rare. But DeJong is returning from an IL stint back into a crowded Cardinals’ middle infield picture. As he is owed $11.2 mill this year (counting buyout), and is really just taking up a 40 man roster spot, I have zero doubt the Cardinals turn down any offer at any point in time ever. DeJong hits right/handed, albeit poorly. He does have some power. But he also has an excellent glove at shortstop. He very won’t hit like Duvall was hitting, but him at SS and Kike back in CF is a much, much better defensive alignment…
  3. Ditto. I thought they got him to fill the leadoff spot that’s been empty since Betts was traded…
  4. It was more balanced two games ago. What teams have lefty-heavy rotations?
  5. Yoshida Devers Turner Verdugo Casas McGuire Hernandez Tapia Arroyo Top heavy with the lefties, but that’s the big issue with Duvall’s injury…
  6. Yoshida and his .378 OBP and 3:1 BB:K probably should lead off. And that’s not even counting reaching on all those errors…
  7. Ice fishing isn’t a sport. It’s a hiding place for guys with miserable marriages…
  8. I golfed one time in my life. By Hole 8, I was praying to be struck by lightning…
  9. Doesn’t that apply to nearly every player over 32?
  10. See, you’re getting more optimistic already…
  11. Losing 1-0 is tough. But the Rays led MLB in runs scored by a wide margin (25% more runs that the second highest scoring team!!) and had the best pitching in MLB coming into this game…
  12. I’ll take that bet…
  13. Golf is not a sport. It’s a waste of time hobby and an excuse to wear plaid pants…
  14. Fail 7 out of 10 = good Fail 8 out of 10 = very bad
  15. Bradley flirted with hitting on occasion in his career in Boston. But even when he wasn’t hitting, the list of Sox glove-first centerfielders hardly begins and ends with him…
  16. He’s a depth starter…
  17. Tampa’s Magic Number is 147!!
  18. I live in Chicago. That’s literally what they call Fernando Tatis Jr…
  19. Which Padre SS? They have like 7 of them…
  20. Yeah he’s one of those guys who the only ability he lacks is availability. If they knew he’d be out for two months, I do question that move, too. Andrus was the obvious miss. But right now, would you prefer Andrus or Duvall? That does appear to be the choice…
  21. They could have, but that they signed Turner ahead of Duvall probably means they liked him more for the DH role than they liked re-arranging the OF for Duvall. They brought in Duvall to play CF. As much as I questioned (and still question) that call, it’s pretty likely he would be the one not here….
  22. 1. “Consistently bad” is still consistent. 2. If you meant “consistently good”, why does Derek Jeter have all those rings?
  23. I have not read the book. Probably never will. Does it do a deep dive into Cora’s drinking? Or just mention is in passing? I mean, just because someone “likes to drink” doesn’t even mean there is much in the way of drunken behavior. Sure it can be an inference, but it can also be a way of implying or exaggerating a behavior that may not or may rarely be there…
  24. Not to mention, signing a SS very likely means Kike is in CF. Which also very likely means Adam Duvall isn’t on the radar. And as bad as the early Kike play has been at SS, the early hitting of Duvall has been better. Of course both are likely to level off. I doubt anyone believes Duvall will maintain a 338 OPS+ all year. So why do you think Kike will get over 100 errors? (Bear in mind no player has made 100 errors in a season since the addition of webbing to the gloves. Do you really think Kike will be the first?)
