Sounds like Devers will miss at least some of the Angels series by the way he was talking post-game tonight. "I've been feeling it since Spring Training," Devers said. "But every time I was swinging, I was feeling it a little bit more and more. So for me, I think like two or three days [off] could be enough. I hope it doesn't keep bothering me after these two or three days but that's something I can't control. That's why I'm just trying to keep working to get stronger, to get my shoulder back in a good way.” x.com/ianmbrowne/status/1778643790388961348?s=46Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I blame the eclipse “Since the eclipse: Celtics lose badly twice, the Bruins lose at home and this 3-game sweep of the Sox by the Orioles “

Feels like the Nick Green days again Years ago I was at a Sunday afternoon Sox that ended with a Nick Green walk off that wrapped around the Pesky pole. Braves were the opponent and Big Papi homered in to the monster in the 1st for the other Sox run. Good memory !!!

Romy Gonzalez getting x-rays on his wrist. Did Xander Bogaerts curse the Red Sox shortstop position when he left ala Voldemort/Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? /my column What's marco scutaro up to these days?

Two things. They tanked (like the astros) prior MLB introducing a lottery. Yah. Good luck with trying to pull a blatant tank job like Baltimore or Houston Did here in BOS The red sox have had one bad (short) season, one good one, and two mediocre ones and the fanbase is ready to burn fenway down. If they ever did what those teams did i would legitimately be fearful for henry’s life lol Exactly

Unfortunately. Tanking paid for the O's. Corresponding with bad owner passing away. Do we know that the Orioles assertively tanked for a few years rather than being just lousy? But if the Orioles have succeeded by engaging losing, do you think that the Sox should do so to compete in the longer term? Are we above this? Looking at our horrendous last September record, could an argument not be made that we employed the same tactic?? We were 8-19 in September 2023. Two things. They tanked (like the astros) prior MLB introducing a lottery. Yah. Good luck with trying to pull a blatant tank job like Baltimore or Houston Did here in BOS

Duran's been the second best player on a team with a .636 winning percentage. He's made remarkable improvements and huge play style changes first offensively in the minors then defensively in the majors to make it to where he is. And he's clearly even more pissed at himself for the error than anyone else is. He's made a few mental mistakes in his time here and yeah those suck to watch, but I don't think he's soft at all, and the personal attacks are lame. I don't know. I still remember that inside the park grand slam and how he seemed to quit on the play and then challenged the fans to go out there and try it. He also argued with heckling fans in KC after missing a ball in CF. There's this quote from 2022 He's helping in building whatever narrative fans are making of him. I question if he has the makeup for Boston. He's hitting the ball well right now and he's blazing fast. Considering how down he sounded yesterday it'll be curious if there's a bit of a spiral. I'm also not entirely sold on him as a player despite his solid start. No. Just no. Again. He has been public about fighting his mental demons. And thats all i will say in response to this post so i dont get banned

I didn’t watch so I don’t even know what Duran did, but I’ll *still* fight the bad-mouthers who slag Jarren. Yup. Some here forget that he has been very public about his battles with mental health.

Framber; Pivetta, Bieber, Pivetta, going down (and thats just a few of the dozens that have been injured and its not even the middle of april) Should tell you no matter the type of pitcher you are (including the once reliable workhorse) you are more likely to be IL'd than in any previous season They could have had another starter or two and began with Houck and Whitlock in the pen and a couple of the pen guys in AAA so when injuries inevitably hit, the oh no you must start Houck and Whitlock crowd would still be appeased as they still wind up in the rotation but now with less quality depth behind them instead. Too bad the Sox had no money for depth. Oh wait. At some point you have to stop being such a front office sycophant. They do a lot of things very well (Breslow traded very well this offseason) but sometimes they dont which you can never seem to acknowledge. You just go into defense attorney mode. Im not being a damn sycophant... The amount of pitching injuries league wide should be sounding alarm bells at MLB HQ... You have pitchers who were the traditional/reliable rubber arm/workhorse now getting season-ending injures... I cannot recall the last time there were this many injures and its only APRIL.. that's unmanageable for any team regardless of the amount of pitching depth one has

Literally every pitcher in the league is getting injured, so you would need a crap load of depth to not have issues with pitcher injuries Ok well they should have landed somewhere between “a crap load” and “only Criswell” the two pitchers that got injured for the Sox have been workhorses, so.... no you are wrong

And just like that Criswell is likely in the rotation with absolutely nothing behind him. Bravo Literally every pitcher in the league is getting injured, so you would need a crap load of depth to not have issues with pitcher injuries
