Are you guys just not reading the comments about Casas? Do you have reasons in your heads for why those comments are mistaken that you dont feel like sharing? DOB could use a scan through your comment history. Disappointing the guy paid to watch every game is still saying things like, “He needs to get going.” This is the thing that puts the lie to the whole "I don't need to know the stats, I use the eyeball test" attitude of the "old school" dingbats. If you are watching the games with your eyes, you would see that Casas has been on a tear for two weeks now.
I suspect it's O'Brien, in fact, who can't look past the stat line. But because he is an incurious dummy he's only seeing like the season batting line and probably RBI numbers or something.
I remember him doing the same thing when Eduardo Rodriguez had that terrible run of bad luck in 2021 - 7 games where if you were watching the games, you could plainly see he was getting killed by cheap hits. Yet DOB was crushing him on air, presumably because the ERA number was distorting his own perceptions.

You have to imagine Kluber has an extremely short leash today w/ Crawford and Pivetta fully rested.

What do we have to do to get Monaco as the full time play-by-play?

Don’t worry guys. Kluber is going to make damn sure the lineup order doesn’t matter.

He’s not big league caliber if he can’t throw strikes

Kluber is simply cooked. I get that you need to give him opps w/ his contract, but he simply can't perform.

Kluber is about to join Matsuzaka and Buchholz on my list of “Sox starters that ain’t much fun to watch”.

Can't field his position and can't throw his mediocre stuff for strikes. Just DFA him no matter what the outcome of this outing!

I interpret this comment to mean Cora is making a frivolous lineup decision not in the best interests of the team? He is a manager. He is paid to make decisions based on the information he has on hand (much more information than we have). He is responsible to his players & his employers to make thoughtful and effective ones. But you don't like his choice & so casually label it "frivolous"? Actually frivolous was your word. You use quotation marks at the end, but you are quoting your own opening line. Yes, that was my interpretation of "Cora getting cute." It would've been better to have the OP define what was meant. Thanks for pointing it out.

It’s really hard to watch Kluber pitch. Excruciating, really.

Words can't express how grateful I don't have to see Kluber pitch in-person tomorrow...

If someone is DFAd, you have 10 days to trade him. Can you include him in a larger package? Or does it have to be a trade for just that player? For example, can they DFA kluber then package him and dalbec in a trade?

Dude, your calling card is that you throw strikes. You’re walking in runs now?
