    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    A while back they interviewed him on the post-game show and he broke down the entire game. Afterwards one of the guys on the desk was like, well, Triston just did our job for us, what do we talk about now?

    Extreme Makeover: The Jarren Duran Edition

    His defense is way better, too. His jumps and routes aren't perfect, but as long as they aren't, like, in the wrong direction like they felt last year, his speed really allows him to shine out there.

    Kevin Youkilis to be NESN's primary color analyst on Red Sox broadcasts in 2023

    I liked Youk, particularly as the season went along and he better understood the role. He really understands hitting and provides excellent insight in that area of the game. I don't remember watching a game Middlebrooks called, but look forward to getting an opportunity to do so. The one game I...

    Triston Casas promoted, Bobby Dalbec demoted

    Yeah. In hearing people talk about prospects I've never quite understood when they describe hitter's approach at the plate and how you can see even in plate appearances with bad outcomes how some players have a plan at the plate.

    Sawamura DFA

    I remember being introduced to Hi-Chew after reading about how he ingratiated himself to the clubhouse last year by giving them a bunch of it, and it is delicious. So thanks for that.

    Reviewing the last 5 drafts.

    Yeah, 2011 was the last year without actual penalties for spending over slot - that year and before slot bonuses were just a suggestion. That's part of why the 2011 draft was so productive - both players (well, their agents mostly) and teams knew this was the last year before draft bonuses would...

    Former players in talks to join NESN booth

    I've been enjoying Youk lately. He's loosened up a bit and I think he does a good job mixing fun banter with actual analysis - I think he does a particularly good job breaking down hitting.

    Marcus Smart is your 2021-2022 Defensive POY

    Yeah, I remember that. Must be why Jaylen was so quick to join the celebration last night, which I thought was absolutely hilarious.

    Marcus Smart is your 2021-2022 Defensive POY

    Good thing Brad extended him before he won this. And the video of him getting the announcement and immediately the whole team dumping water on him makes me so happy.
