A 3rd string catcher (maybe overperforming) leading off, handling the 3rd of 3 rookie starters while a guy who was the #3 starter is in Triple A.
Looks like 3's are wild in 2026, but not 3WC or even 3rd in ALE
Gasper may be a nice feel good story for a low ceiling #2 catcher, or backup 1B.
But no way is he a key player on a competitive team over 162 game season. Is he better than Narvaez so far ? That's on Carlos
3 teams in the AL have failed to win 40 games by mid-June. But they have lost 40 or more.
Sox have 4 fewer GP and 4 fewer losses than Royals and Angels.
All are stuck on 29 wins , so let's celebrate the first to 30
I will guess Yoshida won't be leading off tomorrow, despite his OBP
I realize that Duran is not hitting well but I'd rather see him up on the off chance of a HBP
I would also tape Mayer's arm so he can't swing
Just catching up on a weak game but Connelly better keep the bus schedule to Worcester handy. The leadoff first pitch HRs are unacceptable.
Suarez going 5 innings or less is going to be a problem as mentioned above
