Important to note that most of these guys have admitted that they got hurt swinging as hard as they can, per the team’s stated hitting philosophy. Not good if you ask me, but who the fuck am I
In the past like 3 years guys who’ve gotten injured while swinging (that I can remember): casas, Abreu, adley, gasper, KC, Roman x4, Mayer, and Romy (I think) There’s something seriously wrong going on here.
Somebody count how many freak injuries to batters in the Red Sox hitting program this year. AAAA players get elevated to be decent until they break, and the players with all the star talent are falling apart or gone.
If I’m the Red Sox this offseason I’d rather trade Roman Anthony and keep Jarren Duran. He’s never hurt, he fouled a ball of his ankle last night and stayed in the game while we saw what happened to Roman in a playoff game, he can play left better and Roman is just always hurt
The numbers Jahmai Jones has put up since being picked up by the Red Sox are insane.

Simply mashing lefties and bringing the vibes. Rob Refsnyder 2.0. Tip your cap to Craig Breslow for scooping him up.
Another performance to show that Slot’s out of possession coaching is poor.He doesn’t want to dominate matches with high pressing but on top of that is the lack of an effective mid-block. The number of times that Chelsea players had acres to pass in-behind from deep,was shocking.
@JeremiahDJohns has written the best critique of Hasan Piker (@hasanthehun) I’ve read.
This is really about democracy vs. authoritarianism & if someone has the consistency to oppose *any* boot on your neck—whether it was made in a socialist or capitalist factory.
Piker doesn’t.
@RafaelaEnjoyer The pitching was awful under Bush, defense was awful under multiple INF instructors, hitting has been incredibly streaky under Fatse. Cora can’t do everyone’s job. He deserves some criticism but he’s at the very bottom of the list of who to blame imo
Wow: Stephen A. Smith goes OFF on Drake Maye after he said that he has no idea what network Cam Newton is on.
"Drake Maye is a liar…First Take is the number one show... Don’t tell me you a athlete and you don’t know that Cam is on this show."
