I count SP depth of 14 in March. Counting emergency starters. Now I see 8. Chaim has a reason for being obsessive. Lessee if I can get the 14 and 8 Eovaldi ERod Richards Pérez Pivetta Andriese Whitlock Houck Seabold MataGossett Gonsalves Hart SaleThat the 14? Are you at 8 by subtracting the two MLB relievers as not stretched? Eovaldi ERod Richards Pérez Pivetta Andriese
Houck Seabold Mata Gossett Gonsalves
Hart
Espinal Weber
I dropped Hart, Espinal, Gossett due to total ineffectiveness. Let's put Espinal on as number 9. He threw strikes today.

I trust Cora more than me to run the pitching staff, but I am surprised that he pulled Perez after just 74 pitches. And Mancini just hit one that doubles my doubts. Perez third time through the lineup is gonna have a worse ERA than run of the mill MLB relievers. Perez needs a 5 batter opener

I think we've seen the last of Austin Brice. Josh Taylor holds onto his job of mop up. 1. Brice is certainly bad enuf to clear waivers now. So, that's a success. And he's outrightable. Off to AAA 2. ATL pitching has struggled. At home, with DH, SOX have advantage. Playing the AL East in June. Yep. Gotta play their division.

Casas is off to a rough start to his AA career. 8 strikeouts in his first 15 at bats. Had 3 on Thursday and another 3 today. When I was watching today, he wasn't using his crouched, choked up stance with 2 strikes. Don’t know whether or not that is a new thing. Casas. Has he ever played in this Maine climate before? No. They could have started him in A+ for a few weeks. When he was in a good hitting rhythm and the weather turned, bring him to Maine.

Marcus Wilson continues to be an OBP machine early on. Anyone think he gets a look if Franchy continues to be sub-optimal? He's not a basher, but we could really use a legit lead-off guy at the MLB level. I'm in the Wilson Fan Club. I'm hoping he gets some bench time this month in BOS In Hadlock, it's Johan in left, Jeisson in center, Joey in right. The way to distinguish Johan and Joey: Joey is much bigger, much older, and he's a former I.L. MVP.

It’s actually semi-impressive how bad the systems pitchers have done to start the year. Trying to think of a pitcher that has had a positive appearance. There’s a few relievers that have done alright but definitely not any starters. Only one direction to go from here. Buff vs WooSox pitching: 47 PA 24 REACH Safely 23 retired with one out on basepaths Lucky they're on the road and only needed 24 outs BAA of .353 is 20th of 20 teams
OPS of .469 is 20th of 20 teams Greenville: BAA of .346 and ERA of 10.57 12th of 12. OPS of .630 is 10th of 12

Wilson & Arauz should be on the bench.
Franchy and Chavis should be playing every day in AAA. Re-evaluate in 10 days

Hopefully Kiké is alright, but at least Cordero finally scored a run. Wat 'appen? Kiké hurt sliding into 2nd?

FYI: this is probably old news: "Red Sox lineup: Alex Verdugo scratched Wednesday due to lower back tightness Steve Hewitt" Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo · 22m Christian Vázquez is now at second base for the Red Sox. Arroyo was hit in the hand with a pitch earlier. Plawecki in to catch. Arroyo was hit in the left hand by a Casey Mize pitch in the sixth inning and was later removed from the game with a left hand contusion. X-rays were negative but Arroyo is unlikely to play in Thursday's series finale.18 mins ago www.masslive.comBoston Red Sox

Brantley is making $16 million. No, absolutely not. I was not optimistic. So I’m asking if that thought is creeping in. But I also don’t get paid to assess guys, nor do I have inside info on, say, how JDM felt over the winter etc. Some of us pay a subscription fee for a premium membership to get your assessment of players. Try to get with the program

Mets' Peterson LHP is a good hitter, per milb stats Richards: dreadful hitter
Andriese is a lousy hitter Brice might be best 2-way pitcher. But put on weight ... not good for fielding

Renfroe can get optioned after Cordero is recalled. Or before.

I await the discussion of what to do with 3 third basemen. Xander, Dalbec, Devers
No, they're all too young to be full-time DH

Twice. I wondered about why/if the Royals could have traded straight with the Mets twice. Technically repetitive. Perhaps I should wonder why Kiké is leading off. I havenât seen that discussion. Why isnât Whitlock pitching more? Has anyone asked? Mets had no MLB ready player they wanted Kiké, not a good leadoff man. But he's the default option to prevent others from having to do it.
Whitlock is still a Tommy John patient.
