    4/17 vs Guardians

    I feel like this has the makings of a watershed moment for the team. You've got a young player who's got all the tools to succeed but hasn't quite put them together, who's struggled mightily to become a viable starting pitcher, who's suffered a significant injury last year and worked his way...

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    Thinking about the injury woes the Sox have suffered this season, one of the underappreciated aspects of Mookie's game has been his durability. He's never played less than 120 games in a full season, and only under 130 once in 2021. Truly the definition of a set-it-and-forget-it type of player.

    SS possibilities going forward

    19 games then. The point is that it's way too small a sample size to make any decisions. I don't think Hamilton is ever going to be a world-class defender, but can he be adequate? We don't really know, and I think we need to give him (and Romy) a chance to sink or swim before turning to Elvis...

    SS possibilities going forward

    I think we've got to give him more that 44 at-bats before making that decision.

    As big a loss as Story was on the defense, it's looking this team has absolutely no leadership in his place.

    The wheels are coming off pretty quickly.

    SS possibilities going forward

    I think we have to see how Hamilton and Romy can handle SS duties. We also have Reyes. Once Refsnyder is back, they might be able to play Rafaela at short more frequently. If none of the internal options work, it might be easier to grab another outfielder than a starting-caliber shortstop.

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    I think that explains the cross country flight for a second opinion.

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    Head team physician for the Dodgers apparently. Good guy to get a second opinion from I guess.

    SS possibilities going forward

    If they really think Story is finished at SS, maybe give Colorado a call and see what it'd take to get Ezequiel Tovar?

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    He's talking to reporters at least... no sling... that's a good sign? He just sounds frustrated.

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    This sucks. Nothing else to add here. Get better soon, Story.
