@Steve_Perrault @middlebrooks was on point with the jabs during the whole thing. “I really wish Wilyer would have came running out of the dugout with the Wally mask still on” had me rolling.

“And so yea Wilyer puts me on his head and like before I could even tell what was going on everybody started running and I had absolutely no clue what was happening. Anyway, it’s just nice to feel like I’m part of the team again ya know?”

@Jared_Carrabis Nah, Bello is actually throwing good for once. Let him get some confidence and bring that ERA down under 9. Bring Weissert in to plunk someone later. He could use a short outing without giving up any runs.
English
Brayan Bello has to smoke somebody. The team has been lifeless since Opening Day. The Tigers are giving you a free invite to ignite a spark under your own ass and unite the players. Gotta do it. Turning point moment.
English
@tylermilliken_ The Detroit catcher was probably just thankful that Framber hit Story with the pitch instead of him after giving up back to back taters.
English
Nobody softer on this planet than Framber Valdez.
English
@KleaverSports @tylermilliken_ “I wish Wilyer would have came running out with the Wally head still on” got me bad haha.
English
@tylermilliken_ What a gift to plunk the coldest hitter in the lineup, and one of the better base runners, to give him a free pass. I was waiting on Willson to go nuclear. The Chad Sox are gelling lol
English
@tylermilliken_ This is why we can’t have nice things. Get a 3 run gift in the top of the 1st, and give 2 back in the bottom. Really thought it was going to get worse.
English
@EdHand89 Platoon advantages aside, this has to be the worst lineup of the year. I mean, after abreu, 4-9 is abysmally mediocre
English
It's a lefty on the mound so I get it but all the same, the refusal to ever start Masa has fully looped around and it just funny now.
Chris Cotillo@ChrisCotillo
Roman Anthony isn’t in Detroit. Masataka Yoshida isn’t in the lineup. Duran LF, Contreras 1B, Abreu RF, Story SS, Rafaela CF, Monasterio DH, Durbin 3B, Wong C, Kiner-Falefa 2B
English
@tylermilliken_ Looks like they are hoping to manufacture a run every 3 innings. At least they didn’t put Story at 2 or 3.
English
I thought Alex Cora was the one forcing Marcelo Mayer into a platoon?
Tyler Milliken@tylermilliken_
Today’s lineup for Red Sox @ Tigers: 1. Jarren Duran LF 2. Willson Contreras 1B 3. Wilyer Abreu RF 4. Trevor Story SS 5. Ceddanne Rafaela CF 6. Andrew Monasterio DH 7. Caleb Durbin 3B 8. Connor Wong C 9. IKF 2B Jovani Moran vs. Framber Valdez. 6:40 first pitch on NESN.
English
@ragstoriches_3 @BOSSportsGordo Drove me nuts. Granted, Ref and Romey were good in the role, IKF and Monasterio, not so much. Not sure if Cora just thought since he was a platoon player that every team needs 6 of them or what.
English
@BOSSportsGordo Cora’s obsession with righty lefties matchups has been one of the worst things to happen to Red Sox player development
English
@sayybee96 @LBC_Bruin @Jared_Carrabis I think the org is scared of another Masa deal. Murakami and Okamoto would have both been significant pop in a powerless lineup for decent value.
English
@LBC_Bruin @Jared_Carrabis A lot of teams thought he couldn’t hit to be fair lol , kudos to the white Sox for taking a chance it’s clearly paying off , re-energized that team and fanbase
English
@EdHand89 I think Moran has been really under appreciated due to the abysmal start of the team. He’s not a guy that is going to be lock down every time out, but he has ate a lot of innings for a team that has had to go to the bullpen a ton. Filled that Bernardino spot from last year.
English
I like this move.
Chris Cotillo@ChrisCotillo
Red Sox will have Jovani Moran open for Brayan Bello tomorrow.
English
@tylermilliken_ At least it comes when Duran is heating up. Hopefully nothing serious and he is ready for the Rays.
English
@tylermilliken_ I don’t wanna hear anything about platoons the rest of the year. Give him the reps at 2nd. With any luck, Arias continues to progress and slots in at SS next season, or 2028 if that is the next season.
English
Left on left Marcelo. If it wasn’t for some ridiculous defense from the Astros, he’d be rocking a 12-game hitting streak. Not much power yet, but the quality of his ABs has improved dramatically from a year ago.
English
@IanMBrowne @tylermilliken_ You wonder how hacks that take a snippet of a quote and use it out of context for clicks ever get access. You would think players would just freeze them out. Of course, if you’re a click bait writer, you would probably just make something up regardless.
English
Marcelo Mayer has zero issues with Willson Contreras, who said yesterday it can be harder for young players to get out of early-season slumps:
“I think things just got taken out of context. I didn’t mean to take a shot at anybody, obviously, especially not to Willson. Willson and I have a great relationship. He’s an amazing teammate. He’s a great person. He’s a true veteran of this game and we really respect him in the clubhouse and he helps us a lot. He helps the team, he helps the young guys so none of that was directed toward to Willson. It was more of, just, we acknowledge as a team that we’re young, but we have high standards and we expect to win with this team that we have. That’s pretty much it. Classic blown out of proportion, Twitter things.”
English
@tylermilliken_ I feel like you couldn’t be this bad if you tried, short of just not swinging the bat. 2nd and 3rd with no outs, and your 2-3-4 hitters coming up results in no runs once again?
English
This Red Sox team finds new ways to not score every damn day.
English
The defense has been awesome. Unfortunately, you need to score more runs than the other team to win. Run prevention alone isn't enough.
Gordo@BOSSportsGordo
Red Sox team defense rankings: DRS: 1st OAA: 1st FRV: 1st Best defensive team in baseball so far, hands down. Yet they’re 13-21. Says something about the merits of building a team around defense.
