What is the rationale for not just starting Walter? What is gained by the opener here? The third time through the lineup starts with Castro & Taylor ... not the top of the lineup.

I’ve become a big fan of Pablo Looks like Iglesias is free again. ... eventually signed with the Padres to a minor league deal and impressed with the Triple-A El Paso Chihuahuas slashing .317/.356/.537 in 28 games to go along with four home runs Latest update on Mondesi wasn’t good. He’s dealing with persistent pain and it’s looking like we won’t see him at all this season. I also wish folks would let go of the Iglesias idea. His defensive abilities have plummeted the last couple of seasons. Iglesias? We must focus on Sogard. SP seems to have concluded Fitzgerald is not an MLB SS.

And just watching some highlights from the game. Of all the things that bother me about Dave O’Brien, the worst is his home run calls: “And she’s gone!” Why “she”? la balle de baseball French "la", feminine

I'm not sure whether you're including Cashman in your question or just the three Red Sox guys. But if you're including Cashman, then he's the best of the bunch by far for me. He's the only one of the four whose team competes for a championship every year. Once you get there, the relative quality of your time means a ton less than it did during the 162-game season. The MFYs are almost always there. They've just gotten their hearts crushed year after year, often in incredibly unlikely ways, in the PS. 😊😎😜😁😍😋 Ignoring the fact that they were so good for the first half of Cashman's tenure because they spent substantially more money than every other team... He looks a lot worse nowadays without a clear monetary advantage versus other big-market clubs and especially so if you look ahead to their future. Mel Stottlemeyer & Gene Michael deserve much of the credit for the success under Torre

I'm assuming Story would really like to come back and DH and now it's Cora's job to manage and tell him that's not going to happen. So I'm getting ready to see Story come back in July as a DH. Sox really don't need 13 pitchers in July with the light schedule. Story can be a bench guy: DH - PH - PR Not a full-time DH

"the Red Sox farm system cannot develop starting pitchers."
Almost overnight, that appears to be untrue.

Suddenly, the organization whose farm system can't produce starting pitchers ... has produced quality starting pitchers.

A number of relievers over age 24 in Portland performing well. Older relievers in Worcester... struggling.
I hope we see some changes soon. Promotions

Ok, call me a softy, but I feel bad for him. Yeah, he wasn’t great… or especially good… but he has been here a while, he kept grinding, and he often took one for the team. I’m obviously not saying I am against the move, but I’m also not dancing on his grave.

Let’s get an extra cameraman just for Song. What is going on with Song? Wasn't he placed on the 15 day IL on April 1 ? He's not on the Phillies roster so where is he? If he's not on the 15 or 60 day IL doesn't he have to be on the Phillies MLB roster? www.mlb.com/phillies/roster/40-manSong IL-15

It should be obvious to posters how the well thought out depth is playing out. When your toughest question is which talent that's performing you have to shelve, you've done something right. Tomase still thinks the team has no depth and that Bloom did a very poor job of roster construction ... Someone actually publishes his fantasies.

Pivetta's ERAs the last three seasons, including this year: 4.53, 4.56, 4.58. He's been really stable (though obviously this season is young). He shows tantalizing potential sometimes but at the end of the day starts like today seem to be who he is for now - a pitcher who throws innings and gets mixed results that net out to about league average. If he's the Red Sox 4 or 5 starter they'll be in good shape. Except Pivetta is their ACE

Paxton making his case for the starting rotation 43 pitches in the 3rd inning. That's healthy?

My mind is pretty much as it was even before a game was played. I think the hitting will be OK. I think the rotation is generally weak and the bullpen will be super - a better than .500 team when all is said and done.

Yeah I still think you missed how tongue-in-cheek even THAT was. Very few people were deluded to his actual ability as much as we had fun celebrating his spurts of hotness and annoyed as you constantly raining on that parade. Didn’t seem all that tongue in cheek. But I’ll start assuming people don’t mean it in the future when they get excited about guys they shouldn’t. I always said that Franchy "is a ballplayer."
