I’m so stoked for Masa.
Dude has obviously been coming alive over the last couple weeks but he really needed a big-time hit like that.
Getting this type of reaction from your teammates must be a massive confidence boost.
Jarren Duran
Wilyer Abreu
Tyler O’Neill
Rafael Devers
Triston Casas
Connor Wong
Masataka Yoshida
David Hamilton
Ceddanne Rafaela
The day we get this lineup will be a great day.
Just walked past Tanner Houck in Back Bay. 😱
Interaction went something like this:
Me - “Nice game last night, Tanner!”
Him - “Thanks man”
Me - *Giggles like a little girl while walking away*
Is Alex Verdugo immature?
Yes
Was it insanely dumb to call out Alex Cora?
Yes
Do I hate him as much as I hated David Price and Dustin Pedroia?
Absolutely not.
Will I miss those clutch moments?
Yes
Would I have traded him anyway?
Yes
Any member of Boston media still suggesting the Sox got “nothing” for Betts is outing themselves as a total hack.
Dugie leads the AL in doubles and is playing gold glove defense. Wong is Top-3 in MLB in runners caught stealing and has proven to be an above-average slugger.

For all those suggesting we stop watching games or going to Fenway…
You’re telling me you don’t want to watch this kid hit??
35 bombs this year AT LEAST.
If the Sox don’t make some type of move for a respectable, defensive-minded shortstop in the coming days, that will qualify as gross negligence and a clear willingness to throw this season away.
David Hamilton is not the guy. Pablo Reyes has never and will never be the guy.

4. COMMENT a bold prediction for a player this year 🤔
Adrián Beltré on the Sox was the best.
.325 AVG
.919 OPS
49 DOUBLES!!
28 HR
Resurrected his career in a huge way with us on a 1-year prove it deal. Really wish we woulda kept him around longer…
While Paxton is no star-studded addition, it’s very nice to see us get some LH starting help. He’s taken the ball every fifth day and averaged 5 IP per start. Sox needed a guy like that.
I think I underestimated how likable this Sox team was gonna be. And to think there are some “fans” out there that will basically root against them all year because they have an issue with John Henry.
The same Sox fans upset about the team acquiring Quinn Priester and his 5.04 ERA will be upset about them not acquiring Michael Kopech and his 4.74 ERA.
Sox two games above .500 through 72 games.
Chris Martin back tonight.
Wilyer Abreu back on Friday.
Triston Casas back in a couple weeks.
I’d give anything to see this team catch fire over the back half of the season. 🔥
I am confident Jordan Montgomery will (eventually) end up signing with the Red Sox. Feels like his potential suitors are dwindling and he and his agent are likely playing a waiting game. The match just makes too much sense and I believe Boston will fork up the money.

Dude, literally every fifth post on my timeline is a Heat fan saying how Jimmy and the Heat “live rent free in Celtics fans heads” when all they have done all week is cry about us winning.
I see zero reason why a scuffling Jarren Duran can’t be given a day off to allow Yoshida to get at-bats. Abreu can play CF.
We’ve gone from “Yoshida will DH most of the time” to “he is never seeing LF ever again”.
This whole situation is pissing me off a bit.
“You know that team that’s behind the Red Sox in the standings AND just dropped 2 of 3 to them? Yeah, they’re definitely better than them.” - MLB Network
98.5 clowning on the Sox for not exploring a trade for “a guy like Tim Anderson on the White Sox”.
Pretty sure anyone hired at the Sports Hub is required to undergo a procedure to remove every last one of their brain cells before officially signing their contract.
Steamer is currently projecting the following stats for Masa Yoshida in 2024:
.291 AVG
.821 OPS
17 HR
73 RBI
71 R
120 wRC+
Would you be happy with these kinds of numbers from him in his second MLB season? I’d argue this is underselling his potential just a tad.
There are real people out there who will be commenting on how this is a “AAA lineup of no namers” for the Sox. 🙂
Yes.
It quite literally is a AAA lineup.
Exactly how this goes at the start of Every. Single. Year. 🥴
Has there ever been a more perfect fit for a team heading into the offseason than Max Fried for the Red Sox?
Please, for the love of Big Papi, grow a pair and give him the money he deserves and lock down the LHP and Ace you DESPERATELY need.
I know there are already so many takes out there on this, but I’ve gotta vent a bit. MLB should be absolutely ashamed of themselves over the quality of these Nike/Fanatics uniforms.
They clearly think fans are stupid by attempting to frame this as a move towards a “lighter and
I know I really should stay away from politics on a baseball-focused account, but man oh man is it wild to see folks actually making a fuss about Kamala identifying with multiple races. I guess the concept of biracialism is just another hoax! Freaking MORONIC.
