It's only a four run deficit and they're leaving in Keller to face the heart of the order. Game isn't over yet...! I'm taking my victory lap now. I am hitting pause on the victory lap.

One way to look at this year's team is, which players' career trajectory is working towards it's peak and which one's are working away from it.
Within that construct, this team feels old, and it has me very worried. You can hope some of the younger guys can imbue youthful energy into this roster, but that isn't a given, unless they play really well.
Call me sufficiently worried about our prospects this season. The teams we are playing seem to have more energy and life.

Couldn’t have been from him… Story was on a 3.6 fWAR pace last year and his replacements (Arroyo, Yolmer Sanchez, Jeter Downs, Yu Chang, Jonathan Arauz) were awful. We're setting up for a similar story (sorry) this year around. Meh Arroyo was a better offensive player in the box last year than Story. Not buying second base defense and base running was that good it made the team that much better. Anyways that record can’t be accurate as it adds up to more games than Story played but if it were the winnings % change is massive and no way it’s attributable to the crap we saw from Story last year. Any WAR number that seriously tries to say story was a 3.5 WAR guy last year needs a re-evaluation.

Like how do we get Ort and Brasier off the team. We knew they were complete crap well before any games in 2022 were played

Just tell me it over rates defense.

Meet the 2023 Red Sox, same as the 2022 Red Sox. Good grief. I disagree. The 2022 Sox couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. The lineup is probably going to be solid. We’ll see, might be getting rope-a-dope’d from that Os series.
