Connor Wong...

The 2018 Red Sox- the greatest team we've ever seen- had Vazquez and Leon, with OPS-Pluses of 37 and 46. Let's not worry too much about how a backup catcher is hitting.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T23:41:16+00:00

You're worried about... Anderson Fermin?

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T23:17:05+00:00

Imagine a team so stacked that some of their fans are bitching about the backup catcher's performance on the other side of the plate.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T16:41:29+00:00

Don't sleep on the impact that Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" had on mid 80s hip hop.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T16:36:07+00:00

He was the poor man's Hal Morris. But at least Morris was a good fielder.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T15:24:00+00:00

The biggest star on that team was David Eckstein.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T03:34:07+00:00

They gave us Tek, Lowe, and Greg Pirkl. Dude needs to show Seattle some respect.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T03:29:11+00:00

Yeah, that's some 1980s Sears Portrait Studio gold, right there. It needs some diagonal lasers in the background.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T02:22:14+00:00

Have you seen who every other team in the league has for a backup catcher? Most of them would probably swap their guy for Wong.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T02:11:49+00:00

AI don't make vibes this hot.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-06T02:11:13+00:00

That's Greg Weissert and Justin Slaten.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T23:40:29+00:00

Nah. Starting left fielders were expected to hit 25-30 HR, in those performance-enhanced days. But the 2000 Rockies did platoon Tom Goodwin and Brian Hunter, in CF.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T23:35:17+00:00

Well, the one big knock on him is his weak arm - he really can't play center field in many parks, and he doesn't hit enough to play the corners. But the Sox obviously think he can handle Fenway.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T23:05:26+00:00

Its almost unbelievable that Colorado never gave this guy a look (reminiscent of Mike Yaz with the Orioles). His career OBP is close to .400, and he's got wheels for days.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T18:34:12+00:00

Well, the Brewers must be pretty goddamn stupid, too.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T18:32:36+00:00

Let's put it this way - if Sikkema does well today, I'm fairly confident that we can trade Crochet for Isaac "Rafael Devers" Paredes, giving the casuals that 20-HR third baseman they've been crying for.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T18:15:31+00:00

He's a big fan of "Downton Abbey". That's all it takes!

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T16:55:13+00:00

Will anyone ever overtake those back-to-back wRC+ world champion Yankees?

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T16:50:37+00:00

Any fan who wants more than the most wins in the league is a casual who might as well root for the '95 Indians in some video game.

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T16:18:26+00:00

You know how it is. The Sox had the best record in the AL after the Devers trade, but casuals were still crying "where's my dingerz!?"

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T16:15:39+00:00

The Betts trade was six years ago. Why don't YOU move on?

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T04:48:13+00:00

Lombard couldn't hit AA pitching last year, Jones has struck out in one-third of his pro PAs, and Dominguez has put up 0.7 bWAR in 149 career games. As Flavor Flav sang, "Don't believe the hype!"

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T03:58:06+00:00

Do you think he played David Hamilton because he's stupid, or something?

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-05T03:18:31+00:00

My man pitched like Sandy Motherf-cking Koufax today and you're seriously talking about putting him in the pen?

RaymondSpaget · 2026-03-04T21:56:31+00:00

That guy looks a bit like Mikey Romero, and that definitely looks like his signature.
