I honestly thought Pedroia had already retired, but I guess not.

who are these people pitching tonight for this team that appears to be called the boston red sox? r. leyer? m. kickham? a. triggs? r. brasier? (ok, i mean, i know who brasier is. how bad did he have to be this summer to *not* get traded? does *he* know who leyer, kickham and triggs are?)

pretty sure they run a comedy law firm

that was m. kickham's first MLB appearance since 2014
respect the grind, i guess

Literally lol’d at the comedy law firm

triston casas' career numbers to date: 41 at bats, 4 hits, 3 home runs.

display name determinism here12 Ks as well 😬
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 23 September 2022 07:41 (one year ago) link
and now another homer
and he's got 12 BB to go with with his 14Ks.. this guy's like the dictionary definition of the "3 true outcomes"
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 24 September 2022 22:24 (one year ago) link
At least he could hit the ball unlike b***y d****c
― barry sito (gyac), Saturday, 24 September 2022 22:56 (one year ago) link
his ops (.702) is five and a half times his batting avg (.130) which is really really not easy to do.
― fact checking cuz, Sunday, 25 September 2022 06:28 (one year ago) link
so i guess they'll be scoring nine runs every game this year? is that the plan? not a bad plan if they can continue to execute on it!
― fact checking cuz, Monday, 3 April 2023 14:31 (eleven months ago) link
the plan will fall apart if the opposing teams catch on and plan to score 10 runs
― ciderpress, Monday, 3 April 2023 14:35 (eleven months ago) link
The starting pitching though 🫣
― limb tins & cum (gyac), Monday, 3 April 2023 14:57 (eleven months ago) link
well the last two games they only came to bat eight times so they're scoring even more than 9 a game 🤓
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 3 April 2023 15:23 (eleven months ago) link
Pitching help is coming. Bello and Whitlock will be ready in 2-3 weeks. Kelly and Ort get sent down, Houck and Cutter become long guys.. This will be a pretty deep pen. But.... yeah. A lot hangs on the fragile appendages of two former aces now in their mid-30s. If this team hangs in there, and management really want to make a run, they have to deal for an elite starter imo

Yeah not great!
The defence... yikes
1 - Casas botched the bunt; he should either have just charged it or headed for the bag, instead he got hung up in no man's land, waiting for it to come to him
2 - In the seventh, Casas' very risky throw to third which put runners on the corners, rather than just taking the out at first
3 - Devers inexplicably not cutting off Yoshida's off-line throw home, allowing Bryan Reynolds to take THIRD
That said even though they were losses it's good to see some low-scoring games. Quality starts from Klubes and Pivetta
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 6 April 2023 07:29 (eleven months ago) link
I think one high quality starter will be needed this season, and a catcher upgrade. Otherwise.. I'm not so doom and gloom as the chicken little Globe commenters
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 6 April 2023 07:30 (eleven months ago) link
pirates have been waiting like six years for a dominant mitch keller start, and i guess this was it, if only because that game-tying three-run homer went just foul
at this point there may be little difference -- they both got rocked in their first starts -- but why did kluber get the opener last week and sale the second game?
― mookieproof, Thursday, 6 April 2023 08:02 (eleven months ago) link
xxp wasn’t there a three run homer that got ruled out as well
― limb tins & cum (gyac), Thursday, 6 April 2023 08:48 (eleven months ago) link
apparently Cora thought the bright lights of Opening Day would mess with Sale's head
which, if you think about it, probably messed with his head
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 6 April 2023 08:56 (eleven months ago) link
Duvall like the new Steve Pearce over here
Raffy’s slam to the opposite field a beaut, did not think it was going out
Houck back with the nasty stuff, let’s see how long he lasts

Sounds like he'll be out til July. The way I'm looking at it, we got his best games.
Early yet but Pivetta is looking sharp against the mighty Rays.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 10 April 2023 23:10 (eleven months ago) link
Looks like the book on Casas is for lefties to bust him in and down with breaking stuff. Hard for those long arms to pull in enough and come around on it.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 10 April 2023 23:13 (eleven months ago) link
Well that was tough, but a real grown-up baseball game. Some sensational defensive plays, fantastic pitching, what can you do. (Swing at anything near the zone if you're Rafael Devers, maybe, just a tip for next time, just sayin)
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 09:01 (eleven months ago) link
Probably also worth saying, though it doesn't show up in the box score, Boston absolutely roped a good number of pitches but they just happened to go right at somebody. Many days those fall. But TB did a great job of keeping walks down - I think they only issued one. Just a real tight game, felt like the playoffs. Fun stuff.

The Red Sox today reinstated RHP Garrett Whitlock from the 15-Day Injured List. To make room for Whitlock on the active roster, the club optioned RHP Kutter Crawford to Triple-A Worcester following last night’s game.— Red Sox (@RedSox) April 11, 2023

Partially retract my Kutter slander, he pitched a gem today.

Houck has a 1.00 ERA through the first three innings this year. In innings four through six, however, Houck’s ERA stands at 10.38.
