I do understand voters wanting to wait to rank Ivy teams because they start late, but the Ivy has clearly been better than advertised OOC in past years (and this year, as well). I'm not saying there's a natty run in the Ivy or anything, but there needs to be some respect/understanding.
Rhode Island is the #10 team in the country. Harvard is barely squeaking into the media poll’s top 25.
Do with that what you will.

Finally getting the chance to watch a full Rhode Island game. They're struggling against a bad Brown team. If this is the CAA's regional opponent for an Ivy to play in the FCS playoffs, I'm not exactly impressed. Really thought they were going to hammer Brown tonight.

Devers probably didn't want to be in Boston. The org mishandled his situation every step of the way. It's probably better for both parties they're not together any longer. This team also was fun this week but isn't really good. Playoffs aren't happening

People had far too high of expectations for this Red Sox team. The way it's constructed, they're a year or two away. They were this in March before Story sucked, before Duran didn't fail to reach the unrealistic expectations laid out for him, before Bregman got hurt and the pen imploded regularly.

Guess he isn't interested in playing postseason football.

Well that doesn't surprise me.
Boston Red Sox optioned RHP Josh Winckowski to Worcester Red Sox.

Blake Snell experiencing "a setback while playing catch" is the most out of shape, drunk dad injury.

I thought Casas got the one he badly pulled to right.
Hitting it dead-center for a three-run shot when you've played like wet ass the first month of the year has to feel awesome.

This is a really tough spot to activate Bello in. Not sure there's a better (or another) option, but I hope that if this spirals, Cora gives him a quick hook. Really don't need the Red Sox having a kid's confidence break.

Getting the feeling watching Triston Casas that if he can't turn this around for the Red Sox in the next three weeks, he's gonna end up needing to figure it out at Polar Park.

Walker Buehler's past three starts for the #RedSox (18.1 IP): 4ER, 11H, 7BB, 19K.
Just like everything in the first month of the season, overreacting to bad or up-and-down performance is silly. (Yes, overreacting to good performance is silly too, but there's clearly gradual improvement. EXCITING!)

I know it's just the White Sox, but it feels like Walker Buehler is finally getting comfortable and into a groove. 34% CSW% and 7IP of 1-run ball.
It seems like there's still a bit to go, but this is really really exciting for the Red Sox and stuff like today is what I was hoping for when he signed

Feel like Newcomb is destined for a pen role sooner than later. Wondering if they transition him now (no options) and send down someone like Winckowski, who is clearly on the fringe but is in his final option year. Bernardino down would be L4L if Newcomb goes to the pen. But that's harsh imo
Bello will return on Tuesday, followed by Newcomb and Crochet. No moves announced yet for Bello activation tomorrow
