@EricCrossMLB Cash out, or let it ride? ;-)

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@RedSeatPodcast Well... at least since Rusney Castillo was down there, anyway.

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@redsoxkatelyn Aroldis... But any of Wilyer, Rafaela, Gray, Early or Tolle would not be any worse than Scott Cooper

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@JonPgh He owes those of us who were there from the ugly beginning.

@TSuave29 @JoeOrrico99 Jac finally jacked one last night. Maybe this is the start of the tear? But yeah... vindicated on Kurtz, and not just over Jac. Debate during draft season was Kurtz vs. Vlad, and I was in the distinct minority due to slight concerns about Vlad's power output.

@Scottshuster11 @BBGreatMoments Josh Hamilton

And if I'm trying to be funny... Kirby Puckett

@berkie1 That's my walk to and from North Station when I'm working in Boston.

(Call the Premature Victory Lap Police, I realize -- the man hasn't even thrown a pitch. Just having a little bit of fun. It's been a long wait, and even if I end up being "right" on Hader, it'll be for the wrong reasons. I thought he'd be back long before June 2.)

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

Happy Josh Hader Day to those who are also celebrating.

I know he's got quite a bit of ground in the saves category to make up on closers drafted in the same ADP range -- like Carlos Estevez, Ryan Walker and Griffin Jax, -- but I think he can close the gap.

@cfthepodcast @E44Teddy @RachelBitecofer I do think there's room in tent for people with wide range of antipathy (or lack thereof) for oligarchs and whatnot. With democracy under threat, that feels like a fight for another day, but what do I know? If we could hash those things out without Nazi tattoos, that'd be great!

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@cfthepodcast @E44Teddy @RachelBitecofer I'm accepting the idea that, for Auchincloss, this is a genuine expression of how he feels rather than some weird 3D chess move about his future ambitions, and I have to think that's right. He is courting a primary in Massachusetts by taking this position.

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@cfthepodcast @E44Teddy @RachelBitecofer Frustrating thing about Platner is that, absent the Nazi tattoo (and a few of the Reddit posts), he'd be a really interesting candidate. But I get why, for some people (including Jake Auchincloss), that's an "other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" scenario.

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@Jesse_Leg She's not pro-choice. C'mon. She might pay lip service to that idea, but when it came time to test that principle, she completely, utterly failed by confirming the judges who quite predictably overturned Roe.

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@E44Teddy @cfthepodcast @RachelBitecofer Would never cross my mind to call for primarying Auchincloss, especially for this. I totally get why some don't even want to entertain idea that there could be a "good" explanation for Nazi tattoo. I'm not sure there is, either. Geriatric Janet was a bad choice, too, though!

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@E44Teddy @cfthepodcast @RachelBitecofer Is it enough? That's for him to decide. I can understand and respect why, for Jake Auchincloss, that's a hard "no." Seems like (for good and bad reasons), for a lot of Maine voters, it's a lot more nuanced.

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@E44Teddy @cfthepodcast @RachelBitecofer He's undergone a fair amount of "sensitivity training" since entering the campaign. He also suffered PTSD from horrific experiences in combat, and he went through a phase in his life where he thought he'd have no higher calling than to be a Reddit rabble rouser.

[Kris Olson @KO_Reporter]

@conservativjake @NorthSideCapper No, I won’t. But thanks for the kind offer. While we still have the First Amendment, I plan to use it.
