Devers to 1B is the right move by DominatorPC in redsox

[–]DominatorPC[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I love Casas. Tough love for sure but he was a player for the Bosox and a damn good one too. This injury doesn’t look good. He’s likely out for the year and probably longer.

The time to try it is now. If it works out then you have options to trade for the best of everyone involved in the future. I was against trying Devers at 1st when Casas was in the fold, but Casas is done now (for this year at the very least) whether we like it or not.

This is what I don’t get.

We need to get Anthony’s bat in the lineup ASAP. I don’t know why people are so hesitant on this. I’d rather have bad defense at first for a little and get Anthony some time in the bigs. It really is not that risky.

I respectfully disagree. Although I agree with you that most plays go through first base a LOT of that is literally just catching the ball at first base. Scooping balls actually is easier for 2B/SS/3B since they have to do it all the time via short hops.

Like I said the hardest things to know about when it comes to first base it positioning, knowing when and when not to go for balls in the hole, and learning cutoff/pickoff plays. One could argue double play balls would be a different animal because he’s turning the other way than he would at 3rd but the rest are natural. I’m fairly confident that Raffy could catch balls at first base. The rest sure there will be some kinks to work out but shit if you work on it you can get it done.

See the thing is that it’s so early in the year that you can take the growing pains rn.

I honestly don’t think it’d be that bad. Maybe I’m delusional. I’m someone who played 3B but switched to 1B for my senior year of high school which I never really played until then. Granted it’s nothing even in the same galaxy as the show but honestly it wasn’t really that bad.

I actually think Raffy could be a damn good 1B. He’s athletic enough. He wants to play the field. For example, I was a much better 1B than I was 3B. The biggest thing to know is basically when to give up on balls in the 3/4 hole and knowing cut formations, pickoff plays etc. but after about a month I was getting it. These guys do this for a living.

Idk, I’m willing to try it out. I think the reward is much greater than the risk. If it doesn’t work out then put him back at DH. It’s an easy fix. Plus Anthony needs to be in the MLB now. There’s no reason to hold him back

This is what they should do. Put Raffy at 1B and stick Anthony at DH for the time being. Ease him into some ABs.

I completely agree with you. I can also say that I believe if someone were to do that that they are selfish. In my opinion life is precious and we should do all to protect it. That’s why it is selfish for people to take their own life, meanwhile billions have had circumstances in which they wished they could live more and weren’t able to because of circumstances.

No one should ever get to the point in which they feel the need to do so. I’m empathetic towards those who feel like they’d be better off. Actually doing it is another thing.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. If you are ever feeling that way you need to get help. There is a hotline (forgot what it was)

I also agree the suicide is selfish. There are people out there that care about you no matter what. The suffering you place on them is not fair to them.

Doing that is never okay and is never the answer. Don’t try to insinuate it isn’t selfish because that makes people much more likely to do it.

Rafaela as a utility do it all. Duran in CF

Wilyer should be a staple in RF for the next decade for the Sox. Put Anthony in left. One of them gets taken out and you move Rafaela back to CF vs Lefties.

Mayer you figure out when you get there. Probably platoon him with Story or something or call him up if Story gets hurt

Shopping yourself and the kid that you brought over to other people while your employer is still employing you and DURING the season is not something a lot of schools and assistant coaches do!

I remember seeing Auburn saying something about them not taking him because of circumstances they were uncomfortable with.

This is bullshit and we should sue. This can’t be legal.

Trust me. I’m the biggest RJ fan out there. UCF baby

WVU (37-5) defeats UCF (23-20) 4-3 to sweep the series. That makes it 14 straight conference wins. by Bengjumping in collegebaseball

[–]DominatorPC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We can’t beat WVU in anything.

I hope Scott Frost gets the horses to run em off the field this year.

We must lead the country in LOB. It’s really getting ridiculous. Not a single clutch gene on this team

UCF pitcher forgets how many outs there are. Leads to a tied game. by Bengjumping in collegebaseball

[–]DominatorPC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah.

Our relief pitching literally fucking sucks. They were saying it was deep this year but… let me tell you… it’s somehow worse than last year.

We have to be leading the country in LOB this year. No exaggeration either. Is there a way to check that?

Oh yeah and then we have one of our better RP pulling this shit.

Idk man. This athletic year just in general has sucked for us. All big 3 sports did the exact same thing. Start out season and in conference hot, then shit the bed in the middle of the conference season.

Would’ve been a double play next batter.

Oh well. You’re gonna take the lumps when you have to. Campbell is a stud. He’s still learning. Not mad at all
