@Winslow05@CoachSwit true but most of our players want one last summer playing with their friends....since the age group was raised in 2003 to 19u we've had many players come back after a year of college baseball and play for our team
The Red Sox and Craig Breslow have invested $295 million in Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela, Kristian Campbell, and Brayan Bello over the last two years.
$115 million of that money is sitting in Triple-A and doesn’t seem anywhere close to returning to the big leagues.
Usually, teams get praised for locking up players like this with pre-arbitration extensions, but you can’t increase the cap hits for unproven players while also having the horrible contracts of Story and Yoshida on the books. It’s just a bad model.
If you are a UMASS
basketball fan check out today's Boston Globe. Al Skinner said in 2010 he couldn't even get an interview for the UMass basketball job. COULD NOT GET AN INTERVIEW....unbelievable
@MinutefanJSF@UMassTwittter good point.....anyway I never understood why he wasn't ever given a chance at UMASS EVER....he was a great player.....a good coach and a good recruiter.....
@CatherinVaritek@gfstarr1 avid fan since the 1960 season when I was seven years old....worst hitting Red Sox team in my lifetime....makes the 1964 Red Sox look good
The internal rift in @RedSox is blowing up. 🚨 Lance Dobbins—father of former Red Sox pitcher @HunterD_20 just absolutely torched @CraigBreslow and the front office on social media.
He didn't hold back, fiercely defending pitching coach Andrew Bailey while placing 100% of the blame for the team's struggles and pitching limitations on the analytics department. According to Dobbins, "people behind computers" are dictating the pitches, forcing the coaching staff to operate "with one hand tied behind their backs."
He completely slammed the organization's heavy reliance on Driveline, calling it "the answer to everything, but winning games!"
Most notably, he pointed out that the constant wave of pitcher ailments and hitter wrist/hand injuries (like Roman Anthony's torn finger ligament) isn't "pure bad luck"—it's a direct byproduct of the front office's rigid, spreadsheet-driven training methods. Meanwhile, Hunter Dobbins was traded to the Cardinals for Willson Contreras and immediately found success after throwing his sinker again.
The pressure on Breslow's analytic-heavy culture is officially reaching a boiling point. 💣

UCLA was the first team ever to be ranked #1 wire-to-wire in the regular season. The Bruins did not lose a series all year.
They end up not even making it to their own regional final.
College Baseball.
On April 3rd, Milwaukee was 5-22 and one of the worst teams in the country.
Some of their losses:
Run-ruled 21-7 by LSU
Run-ruled 20-3 by Duke
Run-ruled 14-4 by Minnesota
Run-ruled 12-2 by SEMO
Run-ruled 17-1 by Purdue
Run-ruled 14-1 by NKU
Run-ruled 13-2 by Wright State
Run-ruled 16-2 by Notre Dame
Run-ruled 14-4 by UNLV
They finished the regular season 22-31, but won the Horizon League tournament and earned an autobid to the NCAA tournament.
Milwaukee beat #4 Auburn 13-8, beat UCF 13-6, and is now in a regional final, one win away from going to supers.
College Baseball.
@coachwwest believe me when I say this went on in the 60's when I was growing up and it'll never change....the only thing is when I was 12 we played baseball every day all summer at our neighborhood park BEFORE we put on our uniforms and went to our Little League games
College baseball feels like the last of the big NCAA sports where mid-majors have a chance to make some noise.
And that is why its stock is skyrocketing.
