They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Now let's see them play some solid defense behind Bello today.

Thank god they only have to play in that godforsaken architectural monstrosity twice a year now. I legitimately enjoy watching the games about 30% less when they're played in that dump. And that's just watching on tv...

I am starting to wonder why you have Rafaela on the roster only to sit him. Isn’t he better off playing everyday at AAA?

This team is definitely going to go on a run of winning 15 of 20 or something this month, stay technically in it until the final week, and then fold like a lawnchair. That's how the '23 Red Sox roll.
Is Rafaela deep in Cora's doghouse after the pickoff, or what? Send him back down to get at-bats if he's not going to play.

It's good for him to get used to big league life, and he in particular might benefit from hanging out with real major league hitters for a while heading into his offseason.
But it would be more fun to see his name in the lineup.

I am reminded of a joke: a mother buys her son two shirts; one blue and one green. The son decides to please the mother by wearing the blue shirt. When the mother sees him she says “what, you didn’t like the green one???” This lineup gives us the other OF rookie we have to see, Abreu of the blue shirt in CF. And another blue shirt, Urias, at 2B. We also get to see if Yoshida is recovering, and hopefully some hot RH pop in CF w Duvall who is fighting for a job here. We will see lots of Green shirts like Rafaella and Valdez over the next few weeks at least.

TBR hatred is a mystery to me. They've only eliminated us once, in 2008. They do things right. They're not the MFY.

But even if Abreu gets the nod, Rafaela has not played much overall. I’m not putting the team on blast… not *that* big a deal. But I wish he’d play some more.

Didn’t they create the shift? They may do things mathematically well, but top to bottom — stadium to style of play — they make games hard to watch.

Reese McGuire, incidentally, is on a 1.8 fWAR/500 PA pace. We got him for Jake Diekman...
...who, I have just discovered, plays for the Rays now. And naturally he has a 2.80 ERA in 35 innings with them.

I hate every team in the AL East that is not the Red Sox with the heat of a thousand suns. And I hate NYY more than that. My AL East hate rankings: 1) Rays… all that I hate about the game the last 15 years. Charisma-less, the anti-aesthetic of sport. 2) Yankees… less fun to hate when we aren’t competing for playoffs. 3) Jays… mostly respect hate. 4) Orioles… can’t hate a team that has sucked so long and finally has an interesting team.

TBR hatred is a mystery to me. They've only eliminated us once, in 2008. They do things right. They're not the MFY. Here's how it works for me:
Boston Red Sox: love New York Yankees: loathe Braves: strongly dislike (for a variety of reasons: their white-flighting from Atlanta, their ambiguously racist but definitely annoying tomahawk chop, and the fact that they were always on tv when I was a kid and I never wanted to watch them, the 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife of televised baseball) Cardinals: strongly dislike, can't quite explain why
Every other major league franchise: about 70% based on what I think of their ballpark, 30% what I think of their city/fans/general vibes. So the Rays are definitely on the top-5 most hated list.

I used to think Jimmy and Rosalind Carter looked like robotic idiots whenever they showed them doing the chop (which Braves fans stole from the Florida Seminoles, btw).

What are we doing with Rafaela up if we’re not gonna play him. The kid clearly needs to work on his approach and sitting on the bench isn’t gonna do anything for him.

I lived in DC for 15 years and went to Camden more than RFK/Nats stadium, but the Os owners are so deplorable that i hate them same as the rest of the AL east. I'd actually feel better if they'd signed a FA or two to supplement the youngsters this year, but I guess they still smart from Chris Davis.
