Radio up here in Boston aren't getting up for the Sox this season, but I'm excited by the moves they've made. Despite being one of our better hitters, Rafael Devers is going to be a shit show at 3rd base. Let Alex Bregman play there, and swallow your pride and play DH. Hoping for 85-90 wins for the Sox.

Dodgers taught Yanks a lesson last year.

I expect dodgers to compete for a back to back.

Do you think this is a product of the torpedo bats they are using?

The new bats should obviously be banned but it’s more a function of the short porch in right field. All left handed yankees have ate off that real good. If bonds played dh in yankee stadium would be standing at 900+ and that is being conservative. Would probably have over a thousand. Mays would beat the breaks off hank aaron if they counted negro leagues as well. Mays number one goat with barry a close second. If you try to argue against it you do not know baseball.

Willie Mays played 13 games in the Negro Leagues at age 17 and didn't hit a single homerun :lol


Looks like it's you who doesn't know baseball.

It's hard to compare someone like Babe Ruth or Lou Gerhig to Mays and Bonds but it's a little easier with Ted Williams, as he and May's careers overlapped by 9 years.

I think at his peak you could argue he was the better overall player and he certainly had better longevity, but Williams was absolutely the better hitter so it's really close to me. If he didn't lose 3 years of his peak to the military and didn't struggle with injuries in the middle back portion of his career he'd probably be sitting over 700 as well.

The Reds are the 6th team in MLB history to lose 3 straight games by a score of 1-0, joining:

1960 PHI
1917 PIT
1909 WAS
1909 SLB
1908 BRO

No team has done so in 4 straight

I honestly can’t say. I watched Jimmy Rollins and Pedro speak on it. They explained the advantages and disadvantages. Pedro also said pitchers should adjust to placing pitches where it hits the end of the bat vs the sweet spot. It could’ve been just bad pitching honestly. Opening days, adrenaline flowing and meat balls were sold lol

I am curious what other teams/players are using it. And seeing numbers as the same sizes increase. And bein transparent I don’t follow baseball nowadays much. So I don’t have many strong opinions when it comes MLB. I tend to read what folks who do follow it say. I used to watch it more than any sport. If a million dollars was on the line to name the Phillies starting rotation? No million for me haha

Sad time for us Reds fans before today. A combined 36 innings and we scored only two runs with Del La Cruz in our lineup?

And we didn't score those two rungs until the 35th inning of us being scoreless.

MLB record I think is 48 consecutive innings to be scoreless.

Innings are more impressive. Longest team scoreless streak is 45 innings. Longest streak ever is the '68 Cubs with 48 innings.

Del La Cruz was using it the day he had 7 RBIs and two homers. Said he loves the torpedo back. I think several Reds are using it, but that speaks about them using them becuase they just had the 4th longest scoreless inning streak in franchise history.

Yea I’ll never understand the people, although very slight in number, who downplay what he is as a player. If someone doesn’t understand how fvcking insane his skill set is then we don’t have much in common as baseball fans.

Judge might compete for the Triple Crown this year. He's leading the league in batting average, second in homers, second in RBIs, also he's tied first for hits.

It's early, but looks like this could be a MVP year for him.
