and that should end the Verdugo homerless talk. Had to see that coming. Dugie is one of those players you hate unless he is on your team.

Story is a whiff machine this year...very strange and kind of concerning development because historically he wasn't a huge strikeout guy. Yeah. Story, Dalbec and JBJ are three of the streakiest hitters in the league. In both directions.

Those of you who were on Pivetta in spring training, nice call. Looks to be Bloom's best move so far.

OTOH if you are an A's fan you should probably start studying the 23 draft, along with the daily average temperature in Vegas. That sure isnt Reggie, Catfish, Vida and Rollie out there in this A's unis.

I dont see how Raffy is allowed to leave Boston unless he pulls a Mookie and is determined to test FA.

Devers is not far from slugging .600. And it still doesn't seem like he's that hot for him. He hits doubles like I drink water. ESPN box score has him at 605

I do think this team is going to have a successful season and be dangerous. I cannot remember an 8-2 west coast road trip for the Red Sox in my entire life. Could have easily been 9 and 1.

Poor Sewald. That was about as hard as he throws (94), up, and off the plate and Raffy still takes him to Tater Town. Not many in the bigs with Raffy oppo power. I do believe his first major league dinger was oppo in Seattle.

IIRC he has had back issues. Nothing more incompatable than pro athletes and back issues. I'd be surprised if he left NY TBH>

Abraham says Sox are kicking the tires on the Cubs David Robertson. Sounds like a Bloom type move.

Under rated and under loved player for sure by the fan base. One of the streakiest hitters I ever saw in both directions. Defensively the Paul Blair of his era.

This team is so Jekyll and Hyde that it will literally drive you nuts. I could see them going into NY and sweeping and I could just as easily see Cincy coming in here and sweeping them. Who doesnt love Rich Hill but looks like the end is nye. Reminds me of the 76 season where getting over 500 is gonna be a major chore.

On the post game, franchy gave gedman credit for working him. Figures. One of the more under rated and unsung players in the 50 plus years I have followed the team. A lot of times the 'try hard' guys make the best instructors.

If Franchy stays fixed, whoever fixed him, needs to to stay with the organization. Isnt it amazing how potent this offense can be when other than the big 3 produce.

Wacha and Hill are really pitching to contact this year. Not sure how long their BABIP fortune will last. I think the HOPE is that Sale and Paxton give em an upgrade sometime this season. And yes I am aware hope isnt a plan.
