    Maybe Nate's last inning...
  2. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    That time, Devers should've grabbed it. Ugh, any break in a scoreless game is big.
  3. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Means' fastball is his change-up. It's like calling a majority a minority.
  4. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    "Nifty."
  5. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Joe's not calling them low today. It's ok, as long as he doesn't change when new guys take the mound.
  6. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Not riding the pine in Milwaukee...
  7. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Rafie just stole a 6-3 from X.
  8. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    NESN graphic: Eovaldi has the fastest average four-seamer in the big leagues for the past decade? And he's got a cutter and a breaker that not even Eck or Remdog can identify as a curve or slider? Ace stuff.

    First friggin inning of the season and replay delay on a pick-off throw? This is the crap Epstein needs to change -- disputed HRs or plays at the plate only, please. And ban Check the Check.
  10. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Love the two-strike hitting (not homering) approach. The Sox and the MLB need more of that.
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Draft Kings is honoring Pete Rose today by letting anyone with a credit card bet on baseball.
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Another day of rest for the bullpen, another day closer to when ERod's arm comes back to life.
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    And no matter what anyone thinks of Joe West, at least he made the right calls -- maybe the most important overturned calls -- in recent Red Sox history: Bellhorn's homer, ARod's slap, Altuve's fly ball. Imagine if those calls went the other way (like they always used to)... there would probably be no talksox, and possibly more posters would either be in institutions, radicalized, homeless or six feet under.

    EVERYONE in the industry is picking the Yanks to win the AL in a runaway. I might agree, except they have more IFs than the past three years combined, when they were also favorites with "the greatest HR power and best bullpen of all-time". They lost HR champ Voit and lefty set-up Britton. And replaced their #2, 3 and 4 starters? If George was alive, would he really let Snell and Darvish go to the Pads? MLB.com has a few writers who love NY -- this past week, they rated the Yanks the MLB's third-best rotation (behind LA and SD), best offense and most improved team (Jay Bruce > Gardner?). These are also the same guys who called Sanchez the All-Star catcher because he hits longballs. Can they win it all with mediocre to bad D at C and SS? Maybe, but if they don't, watch them open the wallets for at least a star free agent shortstop next winter (and move Gleybar and/or DJ back to the corners).

    Or that after today, half the teams will be tied for last. But what about the other half...
  16. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Definitely. I said full-time regular; Downs will take over an infield position because of injury or trade. Chavis may always be a part-timer, at 1B, 2B or DH... somewhere. And my darkhorse candidate for a catcher who moves rapidly up the depth chart is Connor Wong. A great half season of power hitting and defensive improvement down on the farm might allow Bloom to flip Vazquez for more prospects!
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Or Danny Santana? And since this is a Realistic Part II thread: who will be the Red Sox next full-time starting position player called up from the minors? I'm predicting Jeter Downs, after the trade deadline. Duran will also make the bigs this summer, but in a platoon role as he makes adjustments.
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Nice research. Still, I wonder if projections consider spring training performances... not stats, but doesn't this month always seem so contradictory when one week a poster says, "Spring training performances don't count" and the next: "Boy, our starters look great!" Also, despite the numbers, I also wonder: beyond each team's #1 aces, would any manager or fan honestly take the next three Yankee pitchers over, say, Strasburg/Corbin/Lester or Keuchel/Lynn/Cease or Fried/Soroka/Anderson?
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    That writer and site constantly overrates NY, basically every preseason. Seriously, does anyone besides Yankee fans truly think Cole plus three question marks are better than Scherzer/Strasburg/Corbin/Lester? Fried/Morton/Soroka/Anderson? Giolito/Keuchel/Lynn/Cease? Bieber/Plesac/Civale/McKenzie? The A's??? Do honest Yankee fans even?
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Can Ort imitate life?
  21. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    David Price just opted in... the clubhouse.
  22. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    They have the balls -- but don't know if Sanchez can catch them.
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    They should just IL him in September with a dead bat.
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    They hijacked Jax' talksox thread on Sox posters being false positive.
  25. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    He may be the kind of guy Bloom would go for. I'm with Moon, in that I'd prefer someone already starring in D1 (closer to the bigs); I saw a TV profile on high school athletes, and Jordan Lawlar hasn't even played in a single high school playoff game against top scholastic competition yet. It's not his fault there's a pandemic, but it does limit his experience and scout evals...
