Definitely a lackluster start in many ways.

I had posted this year. Just been on the road.

Funny memory from Buehler. 

Quote

He said he set his alarm for 6:45 a.m. and got to the park at 7:15. It was the earliest game he had pitched in since Double-A in 2017, he recalled, when he was in the Los Angeles Dodgers' farm system.

"Against Jack Flaherty, SpongeBob SquarePants Day, that we faced each other in," he said, smiling. "I was thinking about that earlier."

Raffy no like Breslow.

Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers spoke to members of the media today, including Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Devers said that chief baseball officer Craig Breslow recently asked him about playing first base in the wake of the Triston Casas injury. Devers said that he is unwilling to take up the position, adding that the club told him to put away his glove when they moved him from third base to designated hitter this winter. He feels that the team has now gone back on its word. He also responded “Sí, claro” when asked if he was upset by the request.

“I know I’m a ballplayer,” Devers said, via translator, relayed by Speier, “but at the same time, they can’t expect me to play every single position out there. In break training, they talked to me and basically told me to put away my glove, that I wasn’t going to play any other position but DH. So right now, I just feel like it’s not an appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position.” Devers added this about Breslow,  per Speier, “I’m not certain what (issue) he has with me. He played ball, and I would like to think that he knows that changing positions like that isn’t easy.” Speier relayed more from Devers: “Here in the clubhouse, thankfully, the relationship that I have with my teammates is great. I don’t understand some of the decisions that the GM makes. Next thing you know, someone in the outfield gets hurt and they want me to play in the outfield.” As for the first base spot, Devers seems to think an external addition is the answer, per Christopher Smith of MassLive: “Now I think they should do their job essentially and hit the market and look for another player (to play first base). I’m not sure why they want me to be in between the way they have me now.”

Your just pissed about the Rangers series.

And no, they should not move him to 1st. part of the deal going to DH was filling Papi's legacy.

That post has zero to do with the Rangers. If you read his quotes & think he's boys with Breslow, well, okay. 

No, I don't think he is. But that is not rare. What matters is he let's Cora handle that and follows Cora.

And sorry Dr. Strunk. I was watching the Pope take over.

Bunch of the adult Tshirts are already sold out.  My nephews are getting tees for their birthdays - they'll actually be sitting on the Monstah on the older one's birthday.  Brother splurged on tickets - $1600 for the family.

 

Raffy just homered to walk off the Braves.  Now 5-12 in 1 run games!  1st game I've watched this year and it was highly entertaining!  Duran hosing Verdugo at the plate was my favorite!

Can't wait to do that one day. Have to sit on the Monstah.

If they can start figuring out how to win close games, that would certainly help. The AL East isn't so hot thus far. 23-24 and only 4 GB.

Yeah. Losing  Casas sucks.

And same here. I was slotted to do a site visit in Cape Cod last week. I was going to hit a game for sure. It has been a long time. Got pulled at the last minute and sent to Miami. The other person who went. Yep, a Yankees fan and had no desire.

Fuck it, lets plan.

Remember when Raffy looked like he had purposefully forgotten how to hit a baseball?  Dude is one of the hottest hitters in MLB right now.

Before today's game (4-for-6, 2HR, 8RBI, 3RS), his May numbers:

This season is fucked.  Need to go young and let all those prospects get as many at bats and innings as possible.

Fucking hell - crazy day game today!  Started off on fire and ended w/ a Raffy oppo poke around Pesky's Pole ftw!

Unfortunately not. We'll see. Still a lot of acclamation to be had.

Upon request is right! Mayer was the difference tonight. 

Now let’s hear it for vastly improved consistency across the entire pitching staff!

Sweep the Yankees and trade Devers in the same day.  Fuck this fucking team.

Holy shit. They just traded Devers.

salary dump 

The San Francisco Giants will cover the full $250 Million remaining on Rafael Devers contract, the Red Sox are dumping all of his salary.

They have a lot of young players/prospects, need more pitching, and are gearing up for other FA signings. Makes sense. Also not surprising given all the drama around where he'd play earlier this season.

I still don't like it though. It certainly feels like a better move for the Giants; at least for this season.

OtM guy ain’t happy.

BREAKING NEWS: In the immediate aftermath of a sweep of the blood rival Yankees, which brought the Red Sox over .500 and created more good vibes than even Brian Wilson ever did, Rafael Devers attacked manager Alex Cora with a fork and threatened to release his private copy of the Epstein Files, which reportedly includes incriminating evidence against most of the Red Sox front office.

Or, at least, that’s what I assume must have happened, because otherwise I’m at a loss to explain this:

(tweet announcing the trade)

Yes, Rafael Devers — the face of the franchise, who currently sits ninth in the American League in wRC+ — has been traded to the Giants for a package headlined by a pitcher who currently has a a 6.47 ERA. 

It’s past 7 PM on Fathers Day and I would be annoyed to work right now under any circumstances. Given these circumstances, I’m pretty pissed off. 

I don’t know what this team is doing. They better hope that they do.
