    Why is offense down in 2024, AKA is the juice(d ball) loose?

    I would guess it would in fact induce more pop ups and ground balls myself.

    Why is offense down in 2024, AKA is the juice(d ball) loose?

    First thought- we know the Sox have been throwing way less 4-seamers. I assume most hard hit balls are against 4-seamers..... probably other teams are doing similar things in perhaps other ways if not the same way- reducing the pitch that produces the most runs against it.

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    Grissom finally expected to make his season debut tonight.... Chris Sale will likely be injured the exact same moment, yeah? Anyhow..... assuming Grissom can stay healthy, the defense should be at least equal to what Valdez did- which was impressive knowing how terrible he was last season...

    5/3 - Grissom finally debuts

    haha!!! The Scarlet Letter is nothing I would have imagined as a reference in baseball

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    WAS struggling before yesterday's game. Early season fluctuations on both good and bad stats I guess. But basically, unless he destroys AA and moves to AAA by June and then destroys AAA I just don't see him as anything more than an injury or late season call-up in '25. But I'd put some serious...

    What's happened to Wickerman?

    I think I would have left Winckowski in there for at least another full inning. I know he gave up the HR to Yaz earlier.... but still.

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen

    I don't really care. I just wanted Montgomery for what I assumed would have been above average innings, consistently for 3-4 years and lots of them as a starter. So if it turns out his struggles was tied into him being injured (and yeah, no evidence, I'm just hypotheticalizing!) it'd be...

    If it turns out he's injured my mind will turn....more... into mush.

    More Mayday pagan craziness. The "literal" video of this is pretty awesome too. View: https://youtu.be/hZE5e41UpIM?si=8Wo_dRlWdPb3uYDa

    May: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    Generally agree with you almost across the board but I'm taking an exception to Valdez who I think would actually get some improvement back to facing AAA pitchers. Abreu looks good at this point despite his SSS "struggles" against LHP which I'd rather see him continue to face rather than get...

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    What? The guy is killing it this year.... his defense and framing/catching looks fantastic! His control of the basepaths has to be elite.... So what he doesn't walk a lot if he's hitting the ball and not making outs. What the hell do people want here???? As far as Teel not being ready...

    They’re fun and scrappy. Rafaela to SS seems to have stabilized the shitty defense which was making them barely watchable after Stort went down

    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    Unlikely Teel will start the season next year though. Struggles in AA currently.

    Yoshida to IL

    Guessing the 15 day? Just insane, and of course.... just as soon as he seemed to be getting his offense back on track. Entire infield including DH now....

    One of my all time favorite movies. I haven't seen it in years but it just played at a local theater and apparently over the past 15 or so years it's become a Cosplay movie. Half the place was filled up with dressed up/half dressed fans acting and singing along. Was a bit of fun.

    2024 Worcester Red Sox (AAA)

    "impressive" and "standing out" aren't necessarily synonymous with "performing well". But the write up on Vlad is that his stuff at least is definitely impressive and stands out. There's so many of those throughout professional baseball history that never amounted to anything however

    That's what I was wondering..... and wow what a dumb fucking rule. So because Keith Law didn't see him as a serious prospect he gets dinged????? I really hope that gets challenged

    On a crazy small sample though. He's a rookie. This was said of Casas too at this point his rookie season.... these guys need time to see more LHP before the book gets written on them. And RFsnyder has been hitting well also even against RHPs. More likely he'll eventually regress to his mean...
