probably the most encouraging thing so far. Not that he's walked a ton of batters in his MLB career (3.3 BB/9), but his command has been spotty and he's had trouble getting to a third time through the order. Only hiccup so far was his second start against the Angels, but he was let down by his...
Wow. Tanner Houck with a Maddux tonight (94 pitches). He saw the bullpen's been dogshit and took matters into his own hands. Game was under 2 hours as well.
Rafaela barely avoided getting tangled up in that to boot. Someone needs to call the others off in that situation. Just bad awareness. I think O'Neill should have called them off.
And now not only are the Sox are down another player, but they're down one of the few guys that have done anything...
O'Neill had 8 stitches and hit concussion protocol. He's been one of our only guys hitting at all. I like our outfield defense, but the infield is a shit show especially with Story out for the rest of the year.
Nothing like losing 7-0 after your starter gives up 0 in 5.2
It's just amazing how things went south so quickly. They were quite good in 2020 (granted a short season) and 2021, and went from 93 wins (and they underachieved their pythag by 4 games) to 100+ losses in a two year span. What's gone wrong?
Tim Anderson went from being a star to an injured...
Orioles might only have a .711 OPS as a team, but they have a 110 OPS+ (AL average OPS is .683). There simply hasn't been a lot of offense around the league, and the spring weather may play a role in that.
I agree. There was very little talent left coming into the 2024 season and now Jimenez/Robert are hurt, along with Moncada on the 60-day (yeah he's sucked since 2021, but he was one of the only ones showing any signs of life at the plate prior to hitting the IL). Crochet has looked good in his...
