Chili Davis should start fining anyone who lunges at breaking pitches way outside and then give the money to Devers.

Benny's back. Also Nunez, Benintendi, Betts is a lot of speed at the top of the lineup. It's a nice plus.

So Carlos Asuaje is currently hitting .311/.378/.434 in 136 PA for the Padres. (He does have a .400 BABIP though) He also hit this very comedic homer, lol.

Rusney now has a 13 game hitting streak .313/.350/.493 w/12 HR Hitting less ground balls, striking out less Still doesn't walk ever, but it's encouraging.
Edit: Chavis now has an 11 game hitting streak too lol

Moncada was carted off the field tonight after a collision with the right fielder. It's hard to tell exactly what happened to Moncada, but I'm pretty sure Garcia literally got knocked out here. Another AngleSlow Mo

I'm really impressed with Workman. Seems like he's back.

Yikes. Selling heroin and weapons charges... I'd have to guess he'll be watching his son from a very, very small tv only after some good behavior.

Second trade for more cap space involving Diaz and Espinal from Lowell. Apparently they only have standing room only tickets for tonights Sea Dogs game. We would be driving from Middletown. Anyone try this before? I am back visiting from Florida and really hoping to catch a game. I've done this before and we got the standing room tickets, but there were plenty of seats open. They had ushers at the entrances to the sections, but not all of them so we just walked in and sat down in an open row. Also 32 oz. beers for $10 isn't bad at all

how is Jonny doing so far? After today he is 1 for 10 with a double and 4Ks Seems like today was his first day in the field and he played 3 innings before rain suspension and had no chances.

What's wrong with his face? Lol it looks like there's some weird lighting from the sides casting shadows from his nose on both sides somehow.

We've been so spoiled in the recent past years with amazing offenses. As of this morning this team is #6 in the AL in runs scored, 4th in ERA (3rd in FIP) and 4th in run differential.
The best hitter on the team is running a .262 BABIP, help is coming in the form of Eduardo Rodriguez, Carson Smith and whatever 3rd baseman whether that be Holt, Lin, Peralta or Devers. My point is, the team will get better, and the competition (mfy) will likely get worse due to absurd overperformance.
Are we like people eating a steak dinner who can't help but complain it's not fillet mignon?

I may be crazy, but is there any reason to try Castillo at 3B? If Pedroia has to spend a while on the DL there's going to be an IF depth problem. I know he played in the infield in the past and worked out there before signing, but it's been a while. He seems to be hitting decently enough in AAA despite the awful OBP. He has a .342 OBP this year, which is just fine. He doesn't walk much (and probably never will), but he also doesn't strike out much and has a high-average batted ball profile (lots of line drives and ground balls), so he'll likely hit for enough average to not be an absolute black hole OBP-wise. I agree he's cut his K% from 17.2% to 12.5% which is pretty good. But his BB% is 3%! That would put him at 5th worst in the MLB between Tim Anderson and Ryon Healy. He probably wouldn't be awful offensively I guess but could he pull off some IF?

I'm too lazy to look up the stats, but it feels like Iggy hits the Red Sox way out of proportion to what his slash line would tell you. I thought the same to be honest, but it turns out the numbers don't really show it: Jose Iglesias career vs. the Red Sox before today: .217/.230/.417 Maybe it just feels like it because he had only 13 hits against them, 6 of them being doubles and 2 being HRs.

I'll be at the game guys. Hoping my magic translates better than it did to Lugo. Hope you can snag Sam Travis' first career HR lol

How has Travis looked at the plate? Sadly I can't really watch any games live and I'm left with game day. I've always liked him and want to see him succeed He ripped a double to left center field. I think he's looked good so far.
