I think TLR gets him every other week in the divorce.

Pfft, striking out Trout is light work. We have Shohei at home:

Now we are complaining about hypothetical errors, since we cannot complain about real errors.

Took him 3 straight walks to start warming Graveman, so that tracks

TA doesn't care what your splits are. If you're a lefty he's getting a hit off you.

He’s gotta be in the lead for 4th OF right? I know he’s not a RHH but f*** it.

These guys aren’t playing 162. 125-130 from Eloy especially would a huge step in the right direction.

Ohtani still coming over to US despite our dumbass owners trying to rig rules against paying him just because he had to prove he is the best, prove he is the best, then win for team Japan in this. All time great sports figure.

Smoltz is so terrible at this

Trout thinking, damn I just made that amateur players career.

They didn't blow it this game. The Lineup ™️ did.

Trea Turner on first and they decide they need to swing away at first pitches. Dear lord.

Schwarber made that look easy. Man he would have been fun to have on the Sox.

This might be the closest play at first I've ever seen.

Is Menechino the USA hitting coach?

No Tim Anderson makes me sad

Why are they not playing in the Tokyo Dome if Japan is the home team?

How can you give Schwarber the green light with Turner on deck?

Can we sign Murakami when he comes over? Please?

Leury dfaaaaaa

Wheels up to Houston a week from now.

Having a real hard time seeing both Haseley and Alberto not making this team. Sox would need to do some roster maneuvering too. Neither are on the 40-Man and they still have to add Colas.

Skye Bolt is such an 80 grade name.

We're changing the ball once again, this time it'll be a bean bag except for Yankee games.

This is like how Argentina is good with Messi. France is good with Mbappe. But PSG, which has them both on it, is not that good (at least in Champions League).

For all you "the sky is falling" babies.

This. Moncada is a very good player outside of 2022 but he's not a franchise changing superstar and those were the expectations. The fans (wrongly) think he's a bust because he's merely a 3-4 WAR player most years and not Jose Ramirez.

Moncada colliding in the OF has me less concerned about the injury bug on the whole as Eloy “cramping” up running to 1st. Eloy looked great in the WBC and physically he actually looks to be in the best shape of his life, so it’s discouraging to see him with a leg issue already. Hopefully Moncada being dumb doesn’t set him back, we need him to be in WBC form this year if the team is going to make any noise.

The Garfien/McGuffey podcast today swayed me fully into thinking Leury is done. Alberto, Sheets, and Zavala are locks. The only question is backup OF- Hamilton/Haseley/Marisnick, and the edge is Billy to start the season. The podcast didn’t even mention Marisnick.

Fox Sports lists his injuries. They don't specify how many of those required DL/IL stints but he went on the list three times last year for example: DATE INJURY 8/25/22 Hamstring 7/6/22 Foot 6/17/22 Hamstring 5/28/22 Quad 4/7/22 Oblique 7/1/21 Hand 6/15/21 Illness 8/29/20 Leg 7/30/19 Hamstring 6/26/19 Knee 6/16/19 Back 6/10/19 Back 6/2/19 Leg Soreness 5/5/18 Left hamstring tightness 5/4/18 Left hamstring tightness 4/21/18 Sore left hamstring

I imagine there’s resentment that he didn’t pan out as the face of the franchise superstar that the hype of being the #1 overall prospect tends to generate, so some people are just waiting for reasons to criticize him. Which is silly, of course.

Moncada hit .435 in the WBC, with a ton of power, and that was met with silence. Which is fine. But then someone collides with him in the outfield which somehow means it's time to start taking shots at him again. I don't get it.

Moncada and the Sox will milk this the entire season as the reason he is hitting .200

but what about the imaginary errors

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is most likely coming next, rumored this coming offseason. It’s a shame the Sox are “maxed out” because he looks every bit as good as Tanaka when he came over, possibly better. A little less size, but a wider arsenal and the same great command.

That's why I said this needs to be a wakeup call. And John Smoltz fucking sucks as a broadcaster.

Guided by none other than Mark DeRosa. Hopefully this is the wakeup call Team USA needed to take its s%*# seriously. The other countries are getting better.

God damn it Mookie

Hendriks said he thought he could be back in May, Lance scoffed at that in the podcast interview and threw June out there. We know Liam is super competitive, but i think it would still make sense to place him on the 60.

Ohtani will have the high ground by virtue of being on the mound. s%*#.

Instead, you get McNeil for Timmy

He's a starter that hasn't really pitched much in the WBC. Now you're asking him to pitch in relief against an all star lineup that has seen him.

Schwarbomb. Darvish was throwing him so many meatballs

Knowing that we won't be in on the Shohei sweepstakes makes me sad.

Definitely some TLR/Menechino energy in the dugout.

He's hitting .154 in the WBC. The hottest man in the tournament was on deck. It was most certainly not a "good call".

Literally all I care about is benintendi not batting third.
