They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

For all the grumbling about Casas and the persistent calls to send him down to AAA, it's interesting that not a single person has taken note of the fact that he's on a Duvall-like tear at the moment: .429/.556/.929 in his last 6 games. A 289 wRC+.
In the last month he's hitting .238/.402/.413, a 129 wRC+.

I honestly haven’t seen that much grumbling. He’s been fine. Even in his worst stretches, he looks so much different from Dalbec, as a comp… Casas has never looked hopeless. |

That's what we have you for  I've been quietly optimistic about him and I think the OBP streak you've been tracking is very relevant and an indication that he's going to find his way. Lately he's been doing this while the rest of the offense is colder so it's not like he's padding his stats in 14-run batting practice games. I am honored to serve.
By the way, today is a potential milestone for the streak - if he gets on base for the 24th straight game he'll only have 60 to go to tie Ted Williams' all-time record!

Not great pitching matchups. I'll at least skip the Pivetta game. I'm not *that* much of a glutton for punishment. |

Casas has a higher OBP and Devers now. Not sure what to make of that, but he definitely is showing he belongs and is impacting the baseball recently.
Devers meanwhile, I have not been impressed with a lot of his ABs. A little unlucky but I can't help but think his approach has regressed a bit.

No Yoshida tonight. But, I’m glad to see Tapia in there, he should be getting more at-bats.
Similarly, I have no problem with Wong being the #1 catcher, but McGuire should be playing more than he has been.

Oh, I've noticed that he's gotten the rake out. I watch him closely because I think his reaching his potential will be huge for the Red Sox once they're ready to start a run of competing at the top of the AL for a few years. It's great to see that he may be turning things around. |

Hard disagree about grumbling. My and the site account's mentions on Twitter being any indication, general fandom has been at least worried, if not upset, about his production. |

Seattle's pitching staff for me is the best in the AL even with the loss of Ray: Kirby, Miller and Gilbert are the best trio of young SP out there.
