That’s tough

I also thought it was interesting how they talked about how it seems like for the nth consecutive offseason they haven’t been proactive on the position player market. Do you think that’s intentional or are the genuinely surprised at the way some of the of the players are coming off the board?

A three team trade with the D Backs and Marte makes so much sense.

Maybe they just want to avoid overusing him?

Of course he went on to post a season high in whiffs. Couldn’t be more pleasantly surprised

@redsoxstats.bsky.social another zero whiff performance underway!

That was very embarrassing that Headrick just threw Story all fastballs right down the middle and story couldn’t touch it.

Next pod?

Where do you think this goes/how do you think this ends?

That’s the whole point of having a bench.

The in zone contact rate is off the charts too. He’s gonna need to see some more advanced pitching sooner rather than later…

Agree with you there!

Informed take?

When do you think they play the Roman card? When they come back home next week for the angels?

I just don’t understand it

Am I crazy for being insanely frustrated and thinking that a Roman call up won’t come for a couple weeks still…

Am I the only one that thinks it’s ridiculous to have Mayer moved off his natural position to let story keep having run at short w the way he’s playing…

#RedSox have allowed the 3rd most batted balls, trailing only the Rockies and As. The two primary defenders playing up the middle, Story and Campbell, have been negatives on defense. That recipe is not conducive to winning baseball games. Pretty straightforward. There is a simple fix if you ask me…

I know a guy that would look really good hitting fourth for this team

Seems to be working, hopefully he sticks with what worked last year.

I’m glad someone noticed, it seemed weird that he had lowered his bat and gotten rid of that leg kick after he had so much success with it last year.

I genuinely don’t think tanner houck should make his next start he’s looked that bad. The problem is everyone else is hurt or rehabbing so I’m not really sure if there’s another option

Crochet is going to have to not do what he did late against the orioles and give up a lot of fly ball outs.

I kinda figured this would be the adjustment, especially considering his mechanics and how he starts closed. Righties running sinkers up and in there could be a rough pitch for him to handle.

Yeah, with especially with Rafaela with Roman breathing down his throat. I can see them waiting a bit longer with Mayer just considering story’s track record and games played for Mayer at the AAA level.

It seems unfathomable that Rafael Devers hasn’t been the worst hitter on the team. Might be time to really look at Narvaez if Wong isn’t going to hit or provide much value with the glove…

Next pod?

Short term it’s the bullpen - long term (and it’s not even a this year concern) is crochet being a two year rental.

Obviously he is young and it’s early, but how does Juan Valeras stuff compare to the current top pitching prospect Luis Perales? Does Valera have a chance to be the top arm in the system by the end of this season if all goes well?
