@BiggestJohnStud @NESN @WBMasonCo He actually isn’t worse against lefties than IKF funnily enough, regardless monasterio should be there not ikf he lhp

@NESN @WBMasonCo #1 player in his draft. Earned the starting 2B job. Let the kid play and work through the bumps like they did with Pedroia. Especially when the alternative is IKF who is WORSE against lefties than Mayer. I'd rather have David Hamilton over IKF

🎤: Do you have a lot of experience coming in as a pinch hitter in the minors? Marcelo: "Zero. You guys know that, they don't do that in the minors." 😂 🎙️ presented by @WBMasonCo

@Dointhehonors @ChrisCotillo Update buddy

@ChrisCotillo Suarez serving up batting practice. This entire rotation got blasted all spring. I’m sure they will just flip a switch Thursday.

Alex Cora speaking for all of baseball when asked his plans for today in terms of playing time/innings. "Does it matter? We're leaving at 6:00."

@BradyJohnson35 @c4Bostonn Sox have a young and incredibly talented team but hur dur name value. They’re closer to the Celtics than mavs… elite player development and good production from guys you wouldn’t expect

@c4Bostonn @ciaci4175 Yet the Sox a playoff team while the Mavs are bums so yes.. You do not know what you are talking about

Roman is awesome obviously, but I still am disappointed with the Red Sox. They feel like the MLB version of the Mavericks right now

@BradyJohnson35 @c4Bostonn Yep, Luka was a fat fuck just like Devers but one sport Luka is the team so you ride it out or rebuild and in the other Devers is just a cancer needed to be removed.

@c4Bostonn Has no relation to how good the team is rn. You see nothing but negativity on Sox twitter and think you know ball, you don’t, you have no idea what is truly going on with the team other than it’s cool to hate them. Stay on that side

@ciaci4175 Yes they definitely haven’t traded 2 franchise players or let others walk in free agency. I have no idea what I’m talking about

Baseball is here. Baseball is inside your home. Baseball is beneath your skin. Can you feel it?

@_24kin You’d be surprised, don’t run

This is the lineup of a team that might not even finish top 3 in the division

@BiggestJohnStud @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 And he will be, as Cora said both of them will receive PA’s vs LHP

@BiggestJohnStud @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 Mayers AAA vs LHP splits are very similar to IKFs MLB vs LHP splits so it’s not as though it’s just small sample. It’s gonna take some time for Mayer to hit LHP and that’s okay. I literally am wearing his jersey as we speak. Monasterio really should be the platoonmate tho

Red Sox @ Reds G1 #OpeningDay Anthony LF Story SS Duran DH Contreras 1B Durbin 3B Abreu RF Kiner-Falefa 2B Narváez C Rafaela CF Crochet LHP.

@BiggestJohnStud @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 Mayer should be in a platoon because he has lagged behind at all levels vs LHP. Platooning said players like this has lead to success in developing LHHs into everyday players in recent history under Cora. Why change this? Is that better??? Or we gonna pretend its a strawman

@ciaci4175 @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 Cool. Thanks for simplifying a complex process, lol. Defining who is in a platoon and saying Mayer should be in a platoon because platoons exist is what we call a strawman argument.

@BiggestJohnStud @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 It’s what cora has done for the last decade. Platoons were invented by LITERALLY tris speaker in like 1920 this isn’t a new thing

@ciaci4175 @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 That's not a true statement. lol

@honestsoxfan @BiggestJohnStud @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 We also have better bench bats than a lot of past teams. Monasterio imo takes IKFs at bats vs lefties here soon but we have one of the best benches in the league and have the last couple seasons. 2020 and before we were running Nunez and shit it was brutal

@BiggestJohnStud @ciaci4175 @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 Only problem with that is this lineup is not 2007’s they could afford to stick pedey 9th and let it play out. We need as much offense as we can get

@BiggestJohnStud @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 Id rather monasterio but either way Mayer needs to be platooned. it’s “asinine” to have the same opinions as basically everyone who’s ever platooned anyone over the last 100 years?

@ciaci4175 @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 IKF is not Romy, Check his splits last year. Play Mayer, he has no pressure at the bottom of the lineup. Let him get experience and learn to hit guys against Abbot. Your take is asinine.

@BiggestJohnStud @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 Not everyone who comes up is Jesus Christ like Roman. Guys take time to develop and that development doesn’t stop in the MLB. You cant just keep palyers in AAA until they are 100% developed. They will never reach that

@BiggestJohnStud @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 No because platoon players are very valuable when good. AAA lefties aren’t good enough. So he gets protected and is able to play vs weaker LHP in the MLB who are much better than the best AAA lefties but not so good he gets cooked

@BiggestJohnStud @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 Kinky

@ciaci4175 @honestsoxfan @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 Oh I forgot it's you the guy who takes pictures of other guys and makes other profile pic. Creepy

@honestsoxfan @BiggestJohnStud @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 People are funny man, top 10 prospect can’t hit lefties and they think oh he must be a bust and not oh wow he’s so good vs RHP he got here off that alone. It’s well documented he can’t hit lefties and it’s gonna take time for that to change. Oh no…

@BiggestJohnStud @BostonStrong_34 @FacetheFacts15 I disagree. Devers, Duran, and Abreu were all platoons their first few years and none of them were career busts. The only thing that has Mayer on the verge of that is the fact he can’t stay healthy for 100 games. Which is also why I don’t mind Cora easing him in
