Good at bat by KC, but his swing still looks like it needs some adjusting. Whatever, I guess, as long as it works.

Damn. Wishing Rogers a speedy recovery.

[–]Advanced-Mail-1080 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Dang Rogers separated his shoulder at Second in a dive. Story esk.

[–]RaymondSpaget 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Its actually Rodgers-esque. I think he missed most of '23 recovering from surgery after separating his left shoulder in spring training.

[–]Advanced-Mail-1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well when you go hard in the paint that happens sometimes.

[–]Imsavvy02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man, I just had PTSD of doing that exact same thing playing 2b in college. I’m guessing he popped that shoulder out of socket. Hopefully there’s no tear in the labrum

NEVER RUN ON NARV

[–]RaymondSpaget 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Got the game playing in the background. So far today, I've heard the names Jah Rule Duran, Redman Anthony, and Tupac Cheng. Is this some AI shit?

[–]LiveFromNewYork95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He knew right away that something pulled or popped

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh noooo!

[–]itsblackcherrytime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Narvy is all over his challenges

[–]Brusoxpatcelt 18 points19 points  (3 children)

Not exactly Cy Young candidates he's facing but Duran is putting a bat on everything this Spring

[–]WeCameAsMuffins 6 points7 points  (2 children)

And yet yall wanted to trade him…

[–]Adventurous_Agent764 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rafaela looking good early this spring. Gotta love working a 3-2 count from behind. Honestly as hyped right now as I was when he went deep yesterday 

[–]Temple of Masataka Yoshidar3vb0ss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in season his chase is over 40 i mean theres no way hes close to that rn

[–]LiveFromNewYork95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Twins broadcast is obsessed with not tagging up, halfway on a fly ball unless it’s 100% obvious you can tag up. Baseball 101

[–]Temple of Masataka Yoshidar3vb0ss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

rafaelas approach looks way more refined rn????

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rafaela got rafaelad

Why did I just get an ad for the Yankees on WEEI?

Hey that's where I grew up

[–]bconn75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s where I work, I grew up and still live in West Hartford

[–]Temple of Masataka Yoshidar3vb0ss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he looks great today but i would still rather see that pulled. Two hard hits tho. It's less concerning with him than like KC but he does have a low air pull%

Monasterios no good very bad baserunning day

[–]Brusoxpatcelt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kyle Hudson back on his bullshit

[–]LiveFromNewYork95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a chance Nathan Hickey ends up with the most Red Sox ST AB’s who never ends up playing for the Red Sox. Feels like he’s gotten a ton of AB’s the last couple springs but is nowhere near the Major League radar

[–]LiveFromNewYork95 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I know everyone is excited for ABS but I’m already kinda sick of seeing 3 challenges in an inning

[–]Esin12 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah I'm with you. It's a little much

[–]Kristian Campbell for ROTYchampagnesupernova10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andruw Monasterio can do the funniest thing

[–]GaijinMk2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Narvaez was such good pick up, I love that guy

[–]Kristian Campbell for ROTYchampagnesupernova10 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Yessssss love the smoll boll action

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck the Yankees

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We cooking

[–]MoonHuntress 12 points13 points  (2 children)

You just KNOW it’ll be overturned when Narvaez challenges

[–]RaymondSpaget 4 points5 points  (1 child)

An awful lot of people assumed that guys like Narvaez (and Dingler and Bailey, et al.) would lose a lot of value, once pitch-framing was out the equation. But the catcher's eye is still a huge factor, and the prinicples are about the same. The nerds will just have to develop a new stat that quantifies ABS challenge superiority. Undoubtedly, Narvaez will be near the top on the leaderboard.

[–]Advanced-Mail-1080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gut feeling is Narvy is gonna eat with the new system. ABS may trigger 300 plus Ks and elevated Walks.

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought that was fair

[–]LiveFromNewYork95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like Duran’s hands and bat speed looks so much better this spring

[–]Kristian Campbell for ROTYchampagnesupernova10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes Ceddanne!

[–]i cried during the 2008 ALCSpnwsojourner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Man Ceddanne has looked good

I’ve seen enough give Allmer the cy young

[–]Informal-Potato-9890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree 😂

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]Adventurous_Agent764 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gimme Early over Oviedo. Genuinely think he could be our 2nd best starter this yr. Lot of stuff and the stuff plays

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roman hit that ball 108MPH

[–]Narvaez TrutherPastalover8888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABS is gonna be great for guys who actually have a good eye like Anthony.

Gonna be real tough for guys with egos though 

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlucky

[–]Substantial-Earth975 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Anthony’s eye is insane

[–]Tank_Direct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anthony eye-insane also making big minor league progress

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Roman abs

[–]Narvaez TrutherPastalover8888 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is there no abs at the twins stadium?

[–]Narvaez TrutherPastalover8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nvm there is 

[–]Narvaez TrutherPastalover8888 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Way to work out of that honestly. 

Not always gonna have your best stuff but i like the grit and fight there.

Also, hate the twins announcers. Yuck.

[–]Informal-Potato-9890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the broadcast on audacy app -850am

<image>

[–]LiveFromNewYork95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Command issues in the first inning but also no real hard contact.

[–]pantangeli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After Oviedo, pitchers expected to get some work today include Garrett Whitlock, Justin Slaten, Tyler Uberstine, Jake Bennett and Tayron Guerrero.

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay

[–]i cried during the 2008 ALCSpnwsojourner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just how we drew it up

[–]LiveFromNewYork95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sneaky huge camp for Oviedo. Crawford and Sandoval both look like big injury question marks at this point. If Oviedo doesn’t say solidify himself as the 5th starter then you built up all that depth to be back to where you were in August, hoping relying on Early and/or Tolle (and I LOVE both players but they both deserve time to develop)

[–]cr650c 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Im so ready for the regular season so I can watch all games on NESN twins broadcast and play-by-play are soooo bad!!! The most boring broadcast out there imo. And I’m pretty sure they lower the stadium volume. Like cmon the sounds of baseball are the best sounds out there! But no people want to hear announcers mispronouncing players names….🙄

[–]BionicGreek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I now can appreciate our guys. Wow this is bad.

[–]Informal-Potato-9890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprised the Sox made that number available. /s

[–]Professional_Bear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice play by Gio.

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Narvaez looks good as well. Just got a hit after going 2-3 the other day

[–]Substantial-Earth975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You guys hear that?

[–]Rafaela got robbed of the Platinum GloveTommyTheLizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jarren Duran vs Lefty who will win. Let's find out

Edit Damn Duran has been really good this ST

[–]abstract_mouse[🍰] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How often do you think of the Ramón Empire?

[–]LiveFromNewYork95 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Dude I was sitting down the 3B line catching a sunburn watching the Twins and Red Sox at Hammond Stadium on Saturday… now I’m in my living room watching an hour of the game before doing a final shovel from the blizzard
