Hell of a game tonight for Connor Wong. 3-3 with two homers. Cooper Criswell gave the Sox 5 scoreless. The latest on Casas is he has a left rib fracture and could be out for "a while." Sox have been plagued with injuries, but honestly, this is probably the most painful one for me. Really enjoy...

Red Sox getting shut down by Blake Lively...

https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/WAR_bat_active.shtml Thought this would be a fun thread to revisit. Freddie Freeman's chances are looking rather good. He's coming off back-to-back 6+ WAR and > 150 OPS+ seasons. He's currently the active hit leader at 2139 and could make a run at...

I get the frustration, but baseball is prone to things like that. 1999 Pedro Martinez got lit up by an awful Marlins lineup (3.2 IP, 12 H, 9 R, 7 ER, 3 K's)... he had only one other start with more than 3 runs allowed that year (4 in 6 innings against Montreal)

Crazy to think there was a time when he looked like an upcoming star. That fizzled very quickly

to be fair, I'd say there's a much higher chance Judge finishes with an OPS+ double his current (89) than him finishing anywhere near 89. I also doubt Torres finishes with a 59 OPS+ Yanks have a 103 OPS+ versus last year's 91. Offense has been down across baseball, and I don't think it's a...

that too

it's April 22nd

Heineman is a 32 year old catcher with a 65 OPS+ over 285 career plate appearances. Not too much to say about his career minor league numbers. He hit well in Lancaster and the PCL, but those are very hitter friendly. I like Hickey's bat. He draws plenty of walks and has shown plenty of power...

Pretty baffling that the Sox response to the Casas injury is to call up Tyler freaking Heineman. What's even more baffling is that they didn't even bother giving Nathan Hickey any reps at 1st until this weekend, especially when his prospects as a major league catcher look rather bleak (though...

Stopped at Autodidact yesterday. Had my first Tonewood beer yesterday, this lovely coffee porter.

loved watching Gordon play

10 day with a rib strain

Yankees fans booing star players never gets old

and now Casas is hurt the lineup already sucks as it is and Devers is banged up. the last thing we need is him missing time

probably the most encouraging thing so far. Not that he's walked a ton of batters in his MLB career (3.3 BB/9), but his command has been spotty and he's had trouble getting to a third time through the order. Only hiccup so far was his second start against the Angels, but he was let down by his...

he's also been using his splitter way more this year

to be fair, ESPN also fucked up

Wow. Tanner Houck with a Maddux tonight (94 pitches). He saw the bullpen's been dogshit and took matters into his own hands. Game was under 2 hours as well.

Pirates might have something in Jared Jones
