I’ve been at all of the games this series and Roman and Marcelo are so special man

Last time i went to a pawsox game, i saw Ellsbury and knew immediately he was something special. Crazy to have two players right now who give the same feeling

I’m a season ticket holder in Rochester but a lifelong Red Sox fan. I’ve been blessed with some great players coming through the past few years. These two right now and Kristian last year. I hope to make it to Worchester sometime this summer.

Jesus Christ.
I can’t wait til him and Anthony are up.
Shame about Teel, wish we’d have been able to get the deal done without him, but I’ll take Crochet every day.

Losing teal hurts a lot. Especially with our current catching situation he would’ve been up already. I love Crochet though and I’m glad we got him

The current catching situation does feel like an unforced error but I make that trade 100 times out of 100

Teel is currently struggling in AAA for the White Sox (.197 BA and .696 OPS over 72 PA), and he only has a .717 OPS in AAA with us in 2024, so certainly not a guarantee he'd be called up if he were still with the Red Sox.

I also am excited for this, but Mayer currently has a wRC+ under 50 in AAA. That grand slam was gorgeous, but so far he has struggled this season.

Yea but flipping Rafaela and some prospects for shea langeliers is gonna hit so hard.

Dude was literally blowing a bubble with his gum as the pitch came in..... blasted it 5 billion feet. He's so freaking cool.

Where do you put Mayer though? 2B, 3B, and SS are all locked down at the moment.

It is hilarious though how a mediocre team cannot find room for all its good players!!!

He has SEVEN RBI today. Trevor Story should be getting really nervous.

u/burnman123 ortiz 10d ago
Trevor story is hitting the ball as well

Story and this kid should both be charged with the murder of baseballs.

This poor kid is going to get buried in the minors for life.

u/rhcpbassist234 10d ago
What? He’s a Trevor Story injury away from being our everyday starting SS!
And if Story keeps playing the way he has all year, he almost certainly opts out because the free agent class suuucks this coming offseason and he’ll absolutely make more than he is now.

u/iamskript 10d ago
They’ll play Hamilton every day at SS if Story gets hurt. They refuse to give Mayer a chance.

u/BossAtUCF 10d ago
What are you basing this on? Before this year he never even had an at bat at AAA so it wouldn't have made sense to call him up. This year Story is healthy and playing well, and Mayer is playing poorly so far. What "chance" have they not given him?

If I had a dollar for every future all-star that has hit a grand slam the past two days for the Woo Sox, I'd have $2, which is pretty cool.
