    Cora is anti-rocking the boat. It looks like Cora is caving to Devers. Devers is a diva. Devers is insubordinate. You just keep rambling on, and on. If Cora thought Devers would be a good fit at 1B, which I don’t believe he does then you would have something to go on, but I don’t believe Cora sees Raffy as a good fit at 1B, and that’s why unless something has changed from the other day he hasn’t talked to Raffy about moving to 1B, and said he isn’t going to. If that is the case Cora isn’t caving to Devers, and Devers certainly isn’t insubordinate. I’ll say it again that Cora knows Raffy better than anyone, and what may seem obvious to anyone else might not be what’s right at all, and that’s what might be obvious to Cora.🤭🙈🤭.

    And Most of all JH likes him.

    Duran has had lots of K’s, but he’s had lots of hard outs too.

    I think Cora relented moving Raffy to DH, but wasn’t going to do it again, and move Raffy to 1B. I also don’t think Cora sees Raffy as a good fit there.
  5. Old Red
    I agree, and when JH flew to KC is wasn’t just to deal with Raffy, but Cora, and Brez as well.

    Cora is Anti-rocking the boat, and Raffy is being insubordinate you say. My thinking is, and has been all along is that Cora just doesn’t see Raffy as a good fit at 1B unlike all of you who just take it for granted that he would. No matter how many times you call Raffy names, and question Cora on this it doesn’t get Raffy any closer to playing 1B. Cora knows Raffy better than anyone, and if he thought Raffy would be a good fit over there he would have had a talk about it with Raffy already. He hasn’t, and said he wasn’t going to.

    I think Brez is studying the old Bloom playbook, and looking for that 3rd option in the fork in the road on what to do with this whole roster construction thing.
  8. Old Red
    Roster construction.🤭
  9. Old Red
    Abreu sucked in the 4th spot too. He got a couple of hits his last time there to make him look a little better.
  10. Old Red
    Raffy is fine right where he is right now, and I believe Cora agrees with that assessment, and that is why Cora said he wasn’t even going to talk with Raffy about trying 1B.
  11. Old Red
    Campbell batting 4th is yuck, and OH MY also. 3-30 with 9 K’s.
  12. Old Red
    The response was to short term, which Devers started out in the land of futility this year. Adjusting to DH might have had something to do with that.
  13. Old Red
    If going to DH was any example I would say no.
  14. Old Red
    It just amazes me how many fans just assume that Devers will be any resemblance of a good 1B just because he played 3B, and many have made the move across the diamond, and were adequate, or better. I’ve heard that throwing was Raffy’s biggest problem, and he won’t have to throw much at 1B, which is true. The questions to me will how will his footwork be receiving throws, and digging throws out of the dirt? How would Raffy be at turning the 3-6-3 DP? How will he be at leading the pitcher to the bag after fielding a grounder. Nothing he did at 3B gives me any reason to think he will be good at those things at 1B. What may look good on paper doesn’t always work out on the field.
  15. Old Red
    Yes, but at least Rusney was actually playing Minor League ball.

    Moon is always so worried about how something is perceived. Bottom line Masa could be the DH in Boston right now, but he is not. Masa could have been the DH in Boston on opening day, but he was not. Masa could be the DH in Woo, or anywhere else right now, but he is not. You can call the why, and why not anything you want, but it still comes out to the same thing that Masa is in exile collecting his $18M.
  17. Old Red
    Why Masa hasn’t been DH in Boston since opening day is, because of roster construction. Why Masa hasn’t been DH for Woo, or anyone else we are not being told. I’m sure there is a reason, but the Red Sox are keeping everyone in the dark. Call it what you want.
  18. Old Red
    What would you call it? To say he can’t play, because he can’t throw in the outfield is completely BS.
  19. Old Red
    That was MY original point.
  20. Old Red
    I think what has sailed is the long-term extension.
  21. Old Red
    And take more mental swings.
  22. Old Red
    C&M. Construction, and Manipulation.
  23. Old Red
    It’s a wink, wink that Masa isn’t playing, because he can’t throw. It’s nothing more than the old roster construction thing. Masa was well enough to DH in ST, and if Raffy wasn’t now taking the DH spot Masa would have opened the season as the DH. Not treating Masa that well at all, but at least he’s collecting his $18M.
  24. Old Red
    A lot has happened since they tried to extend Casas, and I think that ship has sailed, and won’t be coming back.
  25. Old Red
    Talking about Bregman playing 2B didn’t help matters, and I agree that Cora wanted Bregman at 2B, but Brez wanted him at 3B. I think there not only tension between Cora, and Brez, but now even more so between Raffy, and Brez. I think it was also telling that Brez wasn’t in the meeting with JH, Sam, Cora, and Raffy.
