I have been arguing for two years with posters who keep saying he's a good second baseman. The next time Hamilton cleanly catches any throw from a catcher at 2B will be the first.

Story... TOUCH the ball!

The pitiful part is he cranked one foul the pitch before it. Smart pitchers don't come back with the same slop the batter is looking for...

Big mouth poster, shut down your keyboard.

It's ok, a one-run lead will be safe with Gio on the mound and the RF fence 10 feet behind him.

Lucky for NY, Hammy got called back up -- for his baserunning!

3 Es in one inning by the Stanks, and Judge and Cole aren't even on the field.

The Tallahatchie Bridge was not in southern Jersey. But that throw by Jazz was...

(Mary Hill was the first girl I fantasized about that I never saw...) There goes the Judge.

Joe Stinson? Here's the first hit on the net (Sox prospects uses the same pronunciation): The 22-year-old outfielder was signed out of Venezuela in 2019 and now brings his memorable nickname to the bigs, derived from his first name, Jhostynxon (pronounced JOES-tin-son).4 hours ago

Gil is in such a rush, he skips the first letter in his name and pronounces it with an H.

They don't have a camera following her into her make-up room. If they did, she'd appeal to the icecream court jesters, and get overruled.

Trace missile to left-center, KC scores from 2nd, Woo up 1-0.

I hope it's awhile before he becomes the Jhost runner in extra innings.

Theyre just blabbing, so I put on NESN for Game 2 in Woo. The Jumbo Shrimp are all late on Early.

7 pm and I just turned on the Judge Cam on FUX

But... Refsnyder hasn't dropped any of the fly balls, line drives or bloopers he couldn't get a good jump on to track down and reach! He hasn't even made any throwing Es on balls that got by him that other outfielders retrieved after backing him up!! Though he speaks fluent English!!!

2025 dWAR: Duran 0.2, Anthony 0.3, Abreu 1.2, Ceddanne 2.1. That's for those who rely on stats and haven't watched with their eyes an outfielder make 7 errors and a lot of weak throws this season.

Millar was the most coveted that offseason, with international relations at stake to turn his plane around on the way to Japan. Theo and his staff really set the bar high for front office sleuthing, nabbing guys about to break out, like Mueller hitting 9th in the order to win the batting title, or their '03 postseason HR leader with 5... Todd Walker. They also picked up a good closer who the manager wouldn't let close out the pennant the last day.

1. extra innings, no outs, tied or trailing by a run, with your fastest Ghost runner on 2nd and Anthony on deck. 2. same scenario, bottom of the 9th 3. scoreless playoff game, in the 5th or 6th frame, vs. a foe with a killer bullpen warming up.

The Red Sox need a consistent home run threat in the heart of the order. They average the AL's second-most runs per game -- but with double figures once a week, and 3 or less the rest of the games. And Boston is by far the majors' doubles champion... but how many times have we seen that guy stranded on 2nd or 3rd? In this age of swing-and-miss, the Sox may not be that much worse at striking out than many other contenders. But the difference is most of those clubs have more game-changing HR hitters, guys who regularly blast 30, 40, even 50 taters per year. Yes, there are plenty of examples of teams that win without the longball. But for an organization that prides itself on smarts, tailoring a line-up to fit Fenway Park for half its games should be a priority. It's why I never wanted to trade Casas or Anthony or Garcia, because any prospect with above-average power potential should be coveted. Are the Yankees better than Boston without Judge? The M's without Raleigh? Look how the Astros have struggled to score without a healthy Yordann. Consider the Phils without Schwarber, LA without Ohtani, Mets without Soto and Alonso -- Alonso, soon looking for a new contract... Power to the people, right on.

That edit is not half-bad.

It's best if you consider Cora's strengths. He may not always be a great in-game manager, but he always has the backs of everyone in uniform. Have you ever heard him call out a coach or a player in a postgame press conference? Cora may not be shy about indirect criticisms of the CBO after trade deadlines -- "the roster is the roster" -- but he always covers for his guys. We all see how aggressive AC wants to be sending runners on steals, so does it make any sense he wouldn't want his fastest player trying to score on a fly ball, after intentionally bunting him over to 3rd? Eaton or Hudson or both blew it, but Cora immediately blamed it on series planning -- which is either his own fault, or an opportunity to take a shot at 17 of the 87 Assistant VPs in the Analytics Department.

Just found the reason for last night's problem on Red Sox.com. Batting Average with Bases Loaded 2025: 1.000 Casas, .667 Campbell, .500 Devers, .500 Refsnyder -- all gone (damaged, demoted, deported, debilitated) .
