Maybe I'm missing something, but Devers is still a top 10 hitter in MLB. Not sure how losing your best hitter improves hitting. And there's no guarantee any of the young players ever reach Devers' level. Time will tell if this is a good move. But if the youngsters don't develop as planned then this might be another Mookie situation. -
I think it's more taxing on fans' morale than on players. They fought back against the Sox ace to get to extras. And then of course the top of the inning had some questionable calls that all went in one direction, so they'll probably be more frustrated about that than anything else.
-
He did pinch hit for Anthony against a lefty just the other day (IIRC). But maybe it was a late game situation.
-
Yanks starting three lefties this series. Does that mean Cora will be sitting Anthony and Mayer all three games?
-
I won't ever make a statement of 'No way is X a steroid user' because who the hell really knows, and I wouldn't want to be made a fool of kind of like Aaron Rodgers was when he backed Ryan Braun.
-
For this exercise I think he does. He was using PEDs when there was prevalent use, so his OPS lead is relative to all other roid users at the time (though I don't feel like Helton was a steroid user).
-
In 2004 Bonds had a 1.421 OPS. The next closest hitter was Todd Helton with a 1.089 OPS, so Bonds had a .332 OPS lead.

Lousy series for Yankees pitching. Gave up 27 total runs (11% of their season total). The fact that it was against Boston is irritating, but ultimately it's just one series. June schedule looks relatively soft with 10 home games vs Angels/O's/A's, and 9 road games against KC/Boston/Reds. The Boone June Swoon has been a thing in prior years but hopefully this schedule prevents it from repeating.
-
One thing I always wished they'd come up with is an option to mute the announcers but not the sounds of the game.
-
If they lose hopefully it's an early blow out, that way I avoid about six innings of s***** commentary

Sunday night ESPN games are the worst...

Sox making Yarborough look like Yarborough
-
Pythagorean record also agrees and shows their record should be 34-31. Which would still have them 4th in the division though.
-
Fielding % doesn't matter
-
Guess I overestimated the Yanks
-
He doesn't throw hard but all of his pitches move a lot. If he locates he's pretty tough to hit, as evidenced by his 11.9 Ks per 9 innings (for comparison, Crochet has 11.1 Ks per 9 innings).
-
Yikes. Coming into the season I thought the Red Sox starting pitching would be a strength. Admittedly I haven't followed them too closely, so what's caused them to be this bad?
-
Yanks offense has been in a funk this week, and Buehler owned them in the World Series last season. So it only makes sense that the Yanks will drop 8 runs on him in the first inning.
-
This afternoon the Braves entered the 9th inning up 10-4 and ended up losing 11-10. They hadn't blown a lead that big in the 9th inning since 1973. Braves just seem destined to suck this year.
-
Just wait until Chapman has his annual 6-week slump where he can't throw strikes.
-
I always wondered why Boston wouldn't just load their roster with right handed hitters, considering that the Green Monster boosts righty production a ton (similar to how the Yanks refused to sign any good lefty bats the last few years). But Narvaez was a good get for you guys. He probably has more value in Fenway than he would've in YS, evidenced by his drastic home/away splits (.956 OPS at Home, .652 on the road).

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

Maybe not at this moment. But at the trade deadline when contending teams are desperate to add help, they might get a handsome offer. -

You can argue that his value is as high as its going to be (given his large contract and questionable locker room presence). If the Sox fall further out of contention I think they should consider it. A $300M contract for a DH will start looking terrible as soon as Devers isn't a top 10 hitter. -
Sox fans have probably had the most highs and lows of the 21st century in MLB. But at least you have the championships to go with all those miserable seasons. Fans of teams like the Rockies and Orioles have nothing but lows. As for Yankees fans, we do get to enjoy most regular seasons but then end up humiliated in October.

Us? I thought you were a Red Sox fan. Or maybe I'm confusing you with another poster that has Splinter in their name
