At some point, baseball has to get back to valuing ballplayers and not just numbers on a screen. Give me the Freddie Freemans, the Buster Poseys, Hunter Pences, Pablo Sandovals, Michael Youngs, Ian Kinslers of the world. Guys who just flat out know how to play the game. Everyone wants to talk launch angle and exit velo, but what happened to valuing a quality at bat?” The 9-pitch battle that might end in an out, but forces a pitcher to show everything he’s got.
The guy who hits behind the runner, takes what’s given, or just refuses to give a pitcher an easy inning. Those at-bats might not look sexy in the box score, but they show up in the 7th, 8th, and 9th. Some of these dudes could absolutely leave the yard too. That’s the point. They weren’t one-dimensional. Somewhere along the way, we confused measurable tools with knowing how to win baseball games.
I’m not against analytics or hitting the ball hard, but there is an art to winning that you can’t fully measure. We need more guys who know how to play baseball, not just hitters, not just athletes, ballplayers. And I promise you, those dudes never go out of style

John Henry doesn’t have to be involved in it??? You think Henry personally went to KC because he’s not directly involved in trading his largest contract? Seriously @bradfo ??? You can’t be serious because you’d be a complete moron if you think that. I mean maybe you are, I’m not from Boston and I’ve never heard you blather on like a moron as I did here…but holy shit do you sound like you’re delusion. What bat did you want btw? Flores? Dom smith? What bat did San Fran have that you wanted LOL. What a joke. Btw we scored double digits last night. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
The Red Sox should have gotten a veteran bat in the Rafael Devers trade - @bradfo

This isn’t directed toward anyone. I’ve had multiple conversations with multiple people. If you think Devers shouldn’t be at first, you don’t understand MLB. Period. If you think the Boston redsox are a better team with Toro at first and Devers at DH as opposed to Devers at first and one of Yoshida, Abreu, or Anthony at DH, then you’re simply a mental midget. You rotate the DH spot to give guys legs a rest. I ask anyone to look up the big fat slugs who have played first base. Devers is a supreme athlete next to some of these guys. I don’t understand why people feel sorry for the way the situation was handled. The redsox signed Bregman to make the team better. Everyone was happy!! Yay!!!! Now Casas is hurt and you can look at me with a serious face and tell me Devers can’t play first? 400 pounders like prince and Cecil fielder played first….romy is playing first…Vogelbach played first…schwarber…I just don’t understand the logic with you folks. You’re angry because a players feelings are hurt for playing first base on a FUCKING MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM??? Jesus Christ folks, get a grip! He’s playing a child’s game for more money than any of us will see in our lives and his IQ is rocky road. This is why when I make predictions I’m almost always right. You’re all soft…you have no idea how to run a business….and you don’t know the game of baseball.

I have never once come across a Boston sports fan who didn’t stink to high heavens

I watch all the games and have since before you were born. I assume you like Casas also, right? So here’s a question for you. Why did Seattle turn down Casas and Yoshida (two amazing hitters, one with 200+ hit potential) for Castillo? It would still be a salary savings and you’d get 2 stud bats.

Hendricks isn’t pitching this year…if he does, it’ll be a couple stints in September just to get him out there.
