    If you were a ballplayer...

    Early in my junior year in high school I got brought up to varsity, as our starting center fielder broke his leg. For reasons I can't explain, after years of being mediocre, I was suddenly able to hit. Pop flies fell in, ground balls had eyes. I could always run fast and had a good arm, so I was...

    4/17 vs Guardians

    Rafaela could, and he has, but Cora seems to want to trot one or the other of them out most nights. SSS I know.

    4/17 vs Guardians

    The worst thing about the Sox right now is that it's either going to be Dalbec or Hamilton, and neither one is close to being a major league ballplayer. Other than that, let's go.

    4/14 Galileo's Well-Handled Balls. . .

    Water, but I’d rather have John Franco closing for us right now and he’s 63.

    Any reason we’re not putting Trout on?

    4/14 Galileo's Well-Handled Balls. . .

    And a shitty throw by the person who should NOT be in center puts the go-ahead run in scoring position.

    Over/ under on walks this inning? I’ve got 2

    If I never see Hamilton (the AAAA infielder, not the musical) again, that’ll be just fine.

    4/13 Schrödinger's Fandom

    Could he play short today?

    Dalbec sent down to AAA (recalled to BOS on 4/12)

    Our long national nightmare is finally (??) over.

    SS possibilities going forward

    I said this somewhere else, but if Story is out for more than a month, l would have fewer worries about Rafaela's development and care more about winning games in '24. With that in mind, I'd put him at short and sign Tommy Pham to play left. He's still unsigned. Of course, that would cost money...

    April 7. End of the West Coast Trip.

    That was Valdez’ first walk of the season.

    Dalbec made contact. Alert the media.

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    I have a plan. Yes, this plan sucks, but it is a plan. (and of course, my plan involves the front office actually spending money, so it won't happen anyway.) You want to move Duran to center? OK, let's go. Who plays left? Our old pal Tommy Pham. Unsigned and ready. Go get him Theo.

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    And I'm hoping this is the beginning of the Romy Gonzales era in Boston. Leave Rafaela where he is. Duran is such a shitty outfielder....

    4.3 - A’s Kickin’

    Ass-clench water. We’ll appreciate roughing this one out later in the season.
