    I have a bad habit putting a player in my dog house. Those of you follow me, you know how obnoxious I was with first with Kike leading off, then playing Kike at short. I think my expectation of Story was too high and I tend to rag on him quite a bit. Just a bad personality trait that I have.....
  2. Nick
    A step in the right direction. This is where I'll have issues with Cora. Under this scenario, Story is the worst hitter. Cora's unwillingness to drop Story in the order goes back to Cora's reluctance not to play Kike at short. I don't give damn about loyalty. Do what's best for the team.

    What exactly are we waiting for? Story to become something he hasn't been? Mayer definitely has more upside than Story. We are better off going with what our ultimate lineup will end up, that's probably Mayer in place of Story and Anthony in place of Rafaela (make him a super utility guy). I will bet that Mayer/Anthony combo will have more impactful hitting lines than Story/Rafaela. We made the bold and right move with Devers to DH and shelving $18M and Yoshida off the field. Next on the cross hair is deep dive into Casas. I'm just not sure he'll ever get over the San Francisco fog that sits between the ears. Obviously we don't have a replacement for Casas at this time.

    You are right. Just frustrated. He was so close to being so good.

    Fitts needs to challenge the hitters. He is up 0-2 on hitters, one he walks and the other gets a hit on 3-2 count. Just because you are up 0-2 doesn't mean you screw around and get to a 3-2 count. Game over. I despise nibblers. If you're too much of a whimp to challenge the hitter, go find another job.

    If it's colder tomorrow, advantage Crochet.

    I believe their tax will be around $150M. It was $100M last year and their payroll went up by $50M which will require 110% tax. I count 10 teams with luxury tax payroll below $150M. Unreal. Tampa Bay says DO MO ARIGATO.

    $403M Dodgers $328M Mets $310M Yankees $309M Phillies $269M Padres Dodgers' luxury tax payroll is just insane!

    Weather just sucks in Boston.

    As I've said previously, this team will score runs at Fenway. Pitching will have to get us the wins on the road.

    It was a tough pop up for Campbell. I'm just glad he didn't get hurt.
  12. Nick
    Our starting pitching has been shaky at the top, #2 Houck and #3 Buehler. Throw in Newcomb at #5.

    Whitlock is not available today.

    Up 5-0, you just can't walk the leadoff #8 hitter. Saved by Bregman's double play.
  15. Nick
    Not sure how relevant it is but Red Sox lead the AL pitchers in least pitches thrown per inning. We're second in the majors behind the Cardinals. It's better than being dead last.

    I heard the NESN guy say he needs two days of rest when he pitches 2 IP. So NO. He pitched 2 innings on 3/27, 3/31 and 4/3. Not every other day.

    Welcome back.

    Every once in a while, you do wonder, "hey, what the hell are you thinkin?"
  19. Nick
    How about just sending back Grissom? He got moved off short because they had a good ss? That is what I remembered.
  20. Nick
    Story just makes me nervous every time he steals second base. I actually wince, hoping he doesn't do something to his ankle. And I am not criticizing him when he hustles but to me it boarders on being out of control. Injury just waiting to happen.
  21. Nick
    Braves are 0-6. There's THAT!

    His girl friend is doing back flips....it's lot of money for 99% of the population.

    Tom Carroll, WEEI “While he hasn’t been perfect at second base, Campbell’s positional versatility is an added bonus to what the 22-year-old has shown to be capable of at the plate in an extremely small sample size. He’s played four games at second and one in left, making him that much more valuable to the big league club moving forward.” Wow, he's only played 4 games and already critiquing his defense at 2B?
  24. Nick
    Not to nitpick, I said position players. But this is a good list Moon.

    Sooooo, we not have a team control as follows CC Wong (4) Narvaez (6) 1B Casas (4) 2B Campbell (10) SS Story (3+1) Mayer (6+) 3B Bregman (1+1+1) LF Duran (4) CF Rafaela (7) RF Abreu (5) OF Anthony (6+) DH Devers (9) Not shabby Who comes up after Mayer and Anthony? Looking at the Soxprospects list, I don't see a positional player scheduled to come up anytime soon. I see several pitchers on the list though.
