I wish I could be this bad at my job and get nearly $500K a year with benefits, guaranteed raises and only have to work a few hours a day for 7 months of the year. Or as students at an elite university where I worked used to say, "The professors work 24-7 here...24 hours a week, 7 months of the year." 24 hours per week x 28 weeks = 672 hours per year vs. 2080 for most people….. According to some posting on here, if it were equivalent to MLB players they should make millions per year… 🙄 You know what the two have in common? Most people aren’t qualified. Everyone feel free to get your PhD and write your book for that “cushy” job. Or throw 98 mph for the millions.

Question: is it a problem that Rob Refsnyder is 4th on the team in bWAR (players, not pitchers)? Seems… not great.

What is the purpose of bringing Cordero up to play him one game (made good contact) and then sit him? I get the platoon with Bobby but feel he can get some RF time as well

I fell like today’s ballplayers, the ones who want it, are always working.

Did DOB just call this pitcher a lefty?

Nathan has "career high strikeout" stuff tonight. Filthy.

It is stunning how much Nate has evolved with Sox. He was not this kind of pitcher when they first signed him — not this sort of strikeout dominant guy. He has been one of their best moves in the decade.

For those wanting to rid of the "shabby" defense of X, and you know who you are (sorry), be careful what you wish for.

The only thing keeping JBJ from being the worst player in MLB(again) is having Dalbec on the same team with him.

This offense is so bad. Put Bobby back in Pawtucket and maybe he finds himself. JBJ and Bobby are both horrific offensively and Duran and Casas are finding a groove 🤔

That guy is absolutely not a better hitter than Trevor Story, I can’t believe I wasted time even entertaining that
Incapable of hitting righties. Hasn’t even looked good against lefties. Bob just kinda sucks. Platoon him, for the love of god

Just kidding. The Story/Dalbec discussion happened right at the point where Dalbec went from a shadow hot streak (hitting the ball hard but with little to show for it) to being absolutely terrible. His xwOBA has fallen from I think like .359 to .288.
Maybe he never gets hot again. But for a guy who was hitting like literally the best hitter in baseball for 6 weeks within his last 200 ABs, I'm still going to be slow to get out my buryin' shovel.

For all we complain about the Sox, I am in awe of the Orioles lineup. Like ‘62 Mets.
Edit: that might not be fair. The Mets had Richie Ashburn, Marvelous Marv, the other Frank Thomas… murderer’s row compared to this team.

The Red Sox are starting 5 guys that are batting below .200 today. Tomorrow is May 1st, btw. No more using “it’s early” as an excise anymore.
