Funny memory from Buehler. 

Quote

He said he set his alarm for 6:45 a.m. and got to the park at 7:15. It was the earliest game he had pitched in since Double-A in 2017, he recalled, when he was in the Los Angeles Dodgers' farm system.

"Against Jack Flaherty, SpongeBob SquarePants Day, that we faced each other in," he said, smiling. "I was thinking about that earlier."

Raffy no like Breslow. 

Quote

Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers spoke to members of the media today, including Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Devers said that chief baseball officer Craig Breslow recently asked him about playing first base in the wake of the Triston Casas injury. Devers said that he is unwilling to take up the position, adding that the club told him to put away his glove when they moved him from third base to designated hitter this winter. He feels that the team has now gone back on its word. He also responded “Sí, claro” when asked if he was upset by the request.

“I know I’m a ballplayer,” Devers said, via translator, relayed by Speier, “but at the same time, they can’t expect me to play every single position out there. In break training, they talked to me and basically told me to put away my glove, that I wasn’t going to play any other position but DH. So right now, I just feel like it’s not an appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position.” Devers added this about Breslow,  per Speier, “I’m not certain what (issue) he has with me. He played ball, and I would like to think that he knows that changing positions like that isn’t easy.” Speier relayed more from Devers: “Here in the clubhouse, thankfully, the relationship that I have with my teammates is great. I don’t understand some of the decisions that the GM makes. Next thing you know, someone in the outfield gets hurt and they want me to play in the outfield.” As for the first base spot, Devers seems to think an external addition is the answer, per Christopher Smith of MassLive: “Now I think they should do their job essentially and hit the market and look for another player (to play first base). I’m not sure why they want me to be in between the way they have me now.”

Your just pissed about the Rangers series.

And no, they should not move him to 1st. part of the deal going to DH was filling Papi's legacy.

That post has zero to do with the Rangers. If you read his quotes & think he's boys with Breslow, well, okay. 

No, I don't think he is. But that is not rare. What matters is he let's Cora handle that and follows Cora.

And sorry Dr. Strunk. I was watching the Pope take over.
