    To me Cora not asking Devers to play 1B was not an issue at all. Cora didn’t think Raffy would be a good 1B, and if Cora didn’t think Raffy would be a good 1B he didn’t even ask, and he definitely wouldn’t demand it like you, and others thought he should. Pretty major it was, but opposite than how you meant it. Shaugnessy actually talked to Cora on this, and Shaugnessy said he even argued with Cora about Raffy, but Cora gave a big NO on the idea of Raffy to 1B for the reasons I gave above just as I assumed all along.

    It makes a big difference when the SP goes 5-6-7 innings, because the SP is still the make it, or break it to the success.

    Gio was coming off a rough one, so hopefully Buehler will be as good as Gio was last night.

    NNN🤭. The fact that Anthony, and Mayer wasn’t on the roster to begin with is the Roster Construction issue.🙈 Masa not being on the roster i, because of roster construction. It’s not that hard to comprehend. Then again I guess it is.🤔

    There was NO Mess at all by not moving Raffy to 1B right away just like there isn’t a mess of having Raffy at 1B now. Just a narrative that many like to run with.

    My reply to MVP’s had nothing to do with prospect depth at all, so you just ran with something in the wrong direction. My point was, because of how the roster was constructed there was NO room for either Mayer, and or Anthony, and if not for the injuries they would still be a Woo, because of it. No one said anything to the sort of anything being terrible to cover injuries with prospect depth, but you. Another N added.🤭
  7. Old Red
    And I believe that Mayer, and Anthony might still be at Woo if not for injuries, because of all of this.

    They needed to trade an OF last offseason, and to me that would have been Duran selling high.

    In the real world I think Raffy is happy right where he is. I get many 1B are moved there from other positions, but just as easily as Raffy could become an average to better 1B he could just as easily be just as bad at 1B as he was at 3B. Once again he the best DH on the team.

    Being so called exposed by you is like getting so called arrested by Deputy Dawg.😜

    Well pitched, and pretty well played game tonight. Good win.
  12. Old Red
    What you think I responded to, and what I actually responded to could be entirely two different things. As usual just when you think you know the answer I change the question. BAZINGA.🤓

    Once again Story Land continues to stay open, and he couldn’t do it without all your loyal support. Keep up the good work, because Story Land isn’t ready to shut down just yet.

    Childish, and immature behavior is calling Raffy all kinds of names, because so many others think they no what’s best for the team, and because Raffy, and Cora don’t agree on what’s best for the team, and is doing something different. To you Raffy moving to 1B is the only answer to get, or keep Anthony on the team. Once again Raffy is the BEST DH on the team. Raffy is the worst defender on the team. Being the DH after he was told to do so is NOT an immature, and selfish move like name calling is. Whine all day, and cry all night, but Raffy at DH is what’s best, and right.

    4 out of the top 5 in RBI leaders in MLB this this have mostly batted 2&3.
  16. Old Red
    Judge has gone back, and forth this year between 2&3.
  17. Old Red
    Last year, and this year are two different years. Next year he could bat 3rd.
  18. Old Red
    Yes, and just, because Anthony can play CF, orbRF doesn’t mean he should. Especially RF in Fenway.
  19. Old Red
    Chisholm, and Raffy are two entirely different players in two entirely different situation. Chisholm is nowhere near the hitter/DH as Raffy, and Raffy is nowhere near the athlete Chisholm is. Raffy is the BEST DH on the team, and the worst defensive IF on the team. That’s a no brainer what’s best for the team, and the proper attitude is to be the DH. This subject has been beaten to death, and the fact remains Raffy is doing what’s best for the team IMO.👋
  20. Old Red
    RAF Man, and, or Duran would both have to leave before CF would most likely be Anthony’s best opportunity.
  21. Old Red
    Right that Cora never asked Raffy to play 1B, and said he wasn’t going to. If Cora had asked Cora to play 1B my stance would soften some. Raffy was never going to be a backup infielder at Any position, and that’s why they told him to put his glove away. It doesn’t change anything if Bregman, and or Casas both went down for the year. No one is going to be a better DH than Raffy, and Raffy is not going to be better on D than what’s out there now, so NO need to move Raffy off DH where he is best suited.
  22. Old Red
    Romy, and Toro have been solid at 1B. No need to try Raffy there, or even pick up a glove.
  23. Old Red
    Cora wasn’t going to bring it up, and that’s why Brez talked with Raffy. Me first would have been to Raffy to stay at 3B. Team first is Raffy being DH, and being good at it. Team first would not be a bad, bad 3B, and try to make a 1B out of him, and especially during the season in real time. 👋
  24. Old Red
    Brez talked to Raffy, but Cora didn’t, and Cora said he wasn’t going to. Cora, and Brez had a disagreement about it, and Cora won out even with JH refereeing.
  25. Old Red
    Most likely Toro, and Romy won’t keep this up all season, but right now as Cora has said the Red Sox are solid at 1B, and also at DH.
