    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Upgrading the third spot on your depth chart at first and third isn't really ever a priority. When you make the determination he's flotsam is pretty important. If you're doing it after 2022, you're ignoring his adequacy against lefties. If you're doing it between then and this spring, you're...

    That is incorrect. We shouldn't release someone unless we have a better player to take their spot on the 40 man.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Sure. And the evidence it was gone in 2022 is what exactly? 'Cause he played 21 games in 2023 and so far, 14 this year. There's no logic in releasing him now. We need to get someone in who's better, send Dalbec to Worcester, and release him when he's out of options next spring, or when we have...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Yeah, no, sorry, that's a ridiculous opinion. Even in 2022 he was halfways decent against lefties. You're not going to release a guy who has the potential to hit lefties and play third in the majors when he's in AAA and making chump change. The only reason to move him is if you have someone...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    I watched I think an episode and a half and it was the saddest thing I've seen since Watership Down. I can't do sad.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    That's obviously nonsense. He debuted in 2020 and was quite good for part of 2021, so the only "years ago" that they should even have considered releasing him is 2022. He's not even arb eligible until 2025. You don't cut many guys who aren't even arb eligible yet. They should absolutely find...

    Is that Colonel Sanders Jr.? 'Cause I kinda want some fried chicken, now. Also, we gotta find someone better than Dalbec. It can't be that hard.

    Pittsgburgh 4/21, the Nod Goes to Winck

    Wait...wait...wait...I think I figured it out. We're gonna get enough injuries to justify having Bobby Dalbec on the roster.

    Pittsburgh 4/19, On the Road Again

    Huh, Deven Marrero is a good lookin' guy.

    Dave McCarty,, 1b for 2004 Red Sox passes away.

    I thought I made it clear nobody else is allowed to die.

    What a bunch of bullshit.

    If you were a ballplayer...

    Y'all got the part where I said the most athletic version of you, right? 'Cause I hope y'all don't think the real version of me could have made a college baseball team.

    4/17 vs Guardians

    There is zero chance that Kevin Millar did not shit himself on the team plane at least once while he was here.

    If you were a ballplayer...

    I'm trying to avoid the incessant negativity of reality so I'm inviting y'all to engage in some fantasy. If you were the most athletic version of yourself, what is the highest level of baseball you could reach, and what would be your strengths and weaknesses? I think I could have been a decent...

    4/16 - vs Cleveland - in which Dalbec finally gets a hit

    This is overdramatic twaddle. The team is playing stupid and that's not acceptable. You don't need anything more than that.

    I cannot abide the stupid.

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    There are very few Red Sox players I have absolutely loathed and he's on the list. Also, Mike Benjamin.

    Flashbacks to Johnny Damon and Damian Jackson, I take it. They gotta communicate better.
