    The Amazing Criswell?

    The fight that this team has shown so far is absolutely incredible. If they can get healthy, I think they've got a real shot.

    The Amazing Criswell?

    And that's why Bobby is still on the roster. Nicely done.

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    Fuck. Sorry guys. I'll tap out. See you tomorrow.

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    Just checking in after my last meeting today. So uh... Houck is kind of good, huh?

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    He's going through a historically bad stretch, but he does provide value in that he can competently back up the corner IF spots, has options, and has actually hit lefties pretty well. In retrospect, yeah, they probably should have signed a Justin Turner or someone who was a better bat. But as...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    There's no point in publicly undermining Dalbec until there's a better option available.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    The strong, silent type. Love it! This seems too easy - what's the catch? Lack of positional flexibility?

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    If Devers and O'Niell come back tomorrow and Pivetta comes back as expected, I think they can handle 2-3 weeks without Casas. If we're talking months before Casas can return, then yeah, I think it's time to explore external options or give Kavadas a shot.

    Wilyer Abreu to be called up

    Bumping this after his 3 hit game today. Obviously a small sample size, but an .849 OPS over his first 130 at-bats is pretty nice. He started off a little rough in the field but he's starting to look more comfortable out there. We might have something here?

    Pittsburgh 4/20, High Time for a Win for Kutter

    For fuck's sake. Casas now?

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    The pieces are there. They just need to stay healthy.

    4/17 vs Guardians

    I feel like this has the makings of a watershed moment for the team. You've got a young player who's got all the tools to succeed but hasn't quite put them together, who's struggled mightily to become a viable starting pitcher, who's suffered a significant injury last year and worked his way...

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    Thinking about the injury woes the Sox have suffered this season, one of the underappreciated aspects of Mookie's game has been his durability. He's never played less than 120 games in a full season, and only under 130 once in 2021. Truly the definition of a set-it-and-forget-it type of player.

    Wave of mutilation: The latest injuries

    Any word on Valdez?

    SS possibilities going forward

    19 games then. The point is that it's way too small a sample size to make any decisions. I don't think Hamilton is ever going to be a world-class defender, but can he be adequate? We don't really know, and I think we need to give him (and Romy) a chance to sink or swim before turning to Elvis...
