I don’t put too much stock into what the Yankees did two days ago with all those HRs. Didn’t four of them come off Cortes, last seen throwing a meatball to a future HOFer with the bases loaded in the World Series?

My baby boy didn’t pick up a bat all winter and then had an abbreviated spring training, so if he’s telling the truth and his shoulders really don’t hurt, he’ll get his timing back eventually.

In a better world someone would walk up and knock his ass out cold.

He’s wisely created a protective piss ring around himself that potential punchers wouldn’t want to step in.

Bahaha, not being able to set these down is the first thought I had when first seeing them a couple years ago.

Big surprise so far is the Braves down 0-5. The Padres are no slouches, though.

A coworker of mine has Devers on his fantasy team, so this has made for great water cooler talk. He's not happy!

If he goes on the DL after the offseason of them saying that his shoulders are fine and that he didn't need surgery, I'm going to be pissed.

But, hey, at least the Sox extended Crochet!

I’ve never heard of this before, but am wondering if it becomes more common: the Red Sox signed Crochet through 2030, and he can opt out after that season. However, it he misses 120 consecutive days with an arm injury the 2030 opt-out is voided AND the Sox have an option to pick up a 2032 club option for like half the AAV of the rest of the deal. Basically built-in TJ insurance.
