His speed probably helps on defense too . Hard to picture anyone coming around 3B faster/harder than Duran. One thing Duran is very good at is cutting the corners at all bases very sharply, enhancing his speed. Very few wasted steps -
Wong initially appeared last year to be able to throw out Superman trying to steal but his overall defense and ability to block or even hold on to pitches has deteriorated this year.
-
Isn't this game the dreaded "mathematically eliminated" finale to 2024? Even if the Sox make a comeback and win, Tigers and Royals are both winning after 6 in their games with a 3.5 game lead ? It has been an interesting season. Now we can let some of the young guys play vs Rays and have some fun. Oh wait, they have been playing all year. Maybe that's why it's time to book a few tee times for next week.

What is the chance of trading for that fat beer league softball catcher Alejandro Kirk before he does more damage to the Sox. ?
-
Why not just acquire the whole A's franchise, keep what we could use and send the remains "return postage' to Las Vegas or Sacramento where that woe begotten ballclub will need to hide for awhile.
-
Fitts, who has now allowed multiple earned runs, should be chastised and castigated by the Red Sox faithful for not setting any records at all in his 4 starts. What a sham. Send him him back to WooSox or even the Yankees as damaged goods
-
Fitts may have to accept the fact that he has allowed 2 unearned per Illinois, but his performance in his starts, including today, seem to show that he has a serious shot at helping this team going into 2025. His motion and command looks like that of a pitcher, not just a thrower
-
I would literally scream if they run the table after making some late, late season sit-downs of guys who physically couldn't play anymore this year. The 3rd WC is a joke, but it is a ticket to the event, and you can't win it all if you are not there. Of course it might be hard to find a set of pitchers for a WC game. Could have been an Opener type game, lol
-
A potential 5 game win streak on tap ?? Who knew what these guys are capable of ? I will say that watching the smoothness and timing of Story at SS and Grissom at 2B on a DP ball is miles and away beyond Valdez and Hamilton.
-
I do rejoice in the story that Rowdy Tellez had a $200K bonus due if he could get 4 more AB's this year, as the Pirates cut him today. Screw Rowdy. I'm sure the MLBPA will protest loudly.
-
Well it is a bit of a stretch BUT, if the Sox win out the next 4, and Tigers or Royals lose their remaining games, we are in the PLAYOFFS !!! The real shame is that it will probably come down to a couple losses in mid-late summer when the Sox had a lead late in the game, then the BP blew it. There are multiple examples. Or maybe it was getting swept by the Orioles April 10-11-12 then dropping game #1 to the Angels on the 13th ? Who knows which few games kept this team out of it ? Better ? , what difference does it make now ?
-
Even more amazing is that they could win out and miss the dance. Hope not, it would be too disheartening. Take the 81/82 wins and call it a success, Sam Kennedy. Something to build on
-
This f***wit Shugart does not belong in MLB.
-
Relief pitchers totally incapable of challenging hitters with a strike. let them hit the ball or swing/miss. Pitiful show between two marginal teams
-
Fred says what everyone is thinking, except Moon
-
Remember when the Jays were going strong with Guerrero Jr., Biggio and Bichette , plus Manea. Looked like they would own the ALE. Not so fast, Pilgrim
-
Cora stretching his shorts a bit with Penrod to close a 4th straight victory, but it ain't over yet Ac
-
Gruesome Grissom is awesome . He may have a future in this game
-
Hah, Story gets a big hit. They do respond to trashing when necessary.
-
And the #1 guy ( also nameless) did not reach 85 RBI's. Rafaela could catch him with a big 4 games.
-
Youk prattling on about Martin's ability to "fill up the zone" with strikes. He walks the leadoff man, but comes right back with the DP ball. It was all a setup, BJ fans
-
So Red Sox either lose or go to the ghost like 10th. Toronto has at least 6 outs left, Sox , only 3
-
Did the Sox slide after the A-S break begin with acquisition of D. Jansen followed by Sims and Garcia. ? Did the clubhouse consensus become WTF? Jansen certainly relieved Wong of a significant amount of catching. Is he that much better than McGuire, who was not having a good year. Sims and Garcia were of no real effect. Weak choices, Brez
-
Our Guerrero on the mound is just wild enough to intimidate hitters from digging in but make no mistake he is a natural born thrower. That's OK if you have others who can paint the black
