Using reverse psychology. -
We used our 3 best relievers last night and still lost. This looks like a B game. Over and under for # of home runs Houck will surrender? I'd say 3.
-
I realize that Rafaela plays good CF defense but the book on Roman Anthony is that he's also a good defender. He deserves promotion. As his AAA manager said, there's nothing else Anthony can learn at AAA. He said it, not me.
-
Orioles win 5-4, beat the Yanks.
-
Whitlock= overrated.
-
Story is now 2 for his last 33 at bats. It's really time to flip him with Abreu. He's not a clean up hitter.
-
with 6-3 lead, it's time to bring in our A bullpen. Whitlock, Slaten and Chapman.
-
I agree with you Moon. Let him stay in the dug out with 6-0 lead and feel good about the outing.
-
5-3 Orioles over Yankees, top of the 7th. We could by 1/2 down on the Yankees if the scores hold up.
-
67 pitches through 5.
-
Yep on couple of more runs. Then we can go with our B lineup in the pen.
-
7 pitch inning. He's growing on me, fast.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
Nick replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Story can opt out after 2025 season. Sox can force to negate the opt out by picking up Story's 2028 option. I doubt Story opts out and I also doubt that the Sox would pick up his 2028 option. It's time to trade him this winter regardless of what he does, UNLESS BREGMAN also opts out. Under that scenario, we keep Story at short and have Mayer play 3B. We can avoid all that by extending Bregman to 2028 with another opt out. -
We need this game. Houck going tomorrow.
-
Devers finally breaks .800 OPS.
-
I think he can go at least 3 innings.
-
Giolito and Croshet are both listed at 6-6, 245 Ibs. Big boys. Richard Fitts comes in at 6-3 and 230 Ibs.
-
Up to >1.000 OPS and projected 35 HR/120 RBI.
-
I'm okay with him giving up hits. Please no walk-a-thon. You know, throwing 50 pitches in 2 innings.
-
One final thought before the game. There was a piece on MassLive talking about Devers playing 162 games because he is just a DH. Cora spoke about keeping Devers healthy and that seems to be his biggest concern with Devers. That concern maybe what's holding back Devers from playing the field. Lots of interaction with ball and players while manning 1B. No point in losing 30 games because of a pulled muscle stretching to dig a ball on an errant throw.
-
I'd say give him an extra year at the same salary. Go ahead and give him another year of opt out. Basically he signed for 4 years at $160M versus 3 years at $120M. He doesn't lose anything because of another opt out. Basically we are saying that HE WAS WORTH THE MONEY IN 2025 SO LETS GIVE HIM EXACT CONTRACT AND PRETEND IT'S DAY AFTER THE WORLD SERIES. 4 YEARS, $160M is pretty good security.
-
Yariel Rodriguez will be the starter. Bullpen game. He has pitched 2 innings on 2 occasions.
-
We'll pick him up at $14M and then he'll get hurt again with our luck....$52M investment, ugh (sorry, just get cynical at times)
-
I'm assuming 2.00 ERA is delusional and not the 135 innings pitched, correct? lo
-
TBD is Jay's starter today. Their rotation took a hit with double header versus the Yankees on Sunday, using Bassitt and Gausman. Berrios started Friday so he could pitch today or tomorrow. Jays sent down Lucas (#5 starter) after back to back poor starts on 4/20. Maybe they'll bring up someone or go with the bullpen. I don't believe Scherzer is ready to pitch after his last injury. They look thin at starting pitching.
