What are you doing during the season? There’s a new article once a month.

I wish him the best and at very least I hope he shows enough to establish some trade value to a better situation.

I’m a little surprised that Eck/O’Brien team didn’t once mention the relatively capable play of Swihart behind the plate during the game call.

(Incidentally I’d also say the exact same thing(s) about Betts…)

With that in mind Benintendi ought to be one of Boston’s lifelong untouchables….

But in this day and age, we’ll see…

End,

Nevertheless, Cora insists it’s full speed ahead for the Astros so charge on light brigade!

I’d be curious to see how outfielders have played Fenway over the years, including averages for visiting teams.
BTW, is this data available to the public or some sort of subscriber service? Plus include a link if it’s public.
