Red Sox/MLB 2021 Regular Season III - Great Start, Let's hope it continues

....as long as we get Rocket I'm good.

I want Leiter but there is no way he falls.

Gonna have to wait and see on Leiter. Doesn't sound great.

Mets are going to grab Leiter at 10 @LouJersey

Who even cares if he needs TJ? I would take him #1 or 2...wherever he is slated to go. Nobody should be scared of TJ "guys" these days. You should just expect it will happen at some point.

Oh and Eck is so good.

Jarren Duran leaves Polar Park. Over everything in RF.

There is no reason to draft a pitcher with a top 4 pick

I'm pretty sure the highest a pitcher who's had TJ surgery has been drafted is #8 (Cal Quantrill 2016), so if Leiter gets it, he's not going top 5.

I go back and forth on this. I don't trust the risk of pitchers, but they've struggled to develop top quality starting pitchers, so it's hard to pass up the opportunity to draft Rocker or Leiter, assuming his health checks out.

Right now, I'd be happy with any of Lawlar, Mayer, Davis, Rocker, or Leiter. I don't really have an order of preference, but those are my clear top five.

 

[Johnnyduke]

And I think that will come back to bite whoever passes on him.

Good news, Leiter's in

Ya I agree for sure. I just think there’s so much risk with pitchers and you can find good arms later.

I guess that power from the new swing is quite quite real

And this is why you don’t give up on a bonafide starting pitcher after 2 bad starts in 4 April games

Eck can f*** off, elite move by Richards. That’s the old school baseball I love. Bob Gibson pees in your soups Dennis!

Lol it’s his beloved A’s. What’s the timing he speaks of? I missed this one.

EDIT: Oh I see the first video, lol I like that move.

I love Eck but this is what you want to see in baseball. NASTY.

Since April 10th, Richards is 3-1 with a 2.72 ERA.

I’m so into this premise

I had been reading about that catcher and was thinking maybe they grab him and then yesterday I read Gammons tweet

Sports Hub guys like Bertrand wanted him gone

marc Bertrand is the single worst full time host I’ve heard in 50 yrs

Throwing at a guys head can be career or even life changing. You would think a Redsox fan (remember Tony C?) would be aware of this. That is a completely ridiculous over reaction to the hitter being a bit of a twat and putting his elbow over the plate.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Ya I don't have any problem brushing guys back or even hitting a guy like Canha who WANTS to get hit. But you don't throw at the head. No need.

 

[CharaBadSenyshynGawd]

That’s Manny/Clemens to me. Not a big deal

Hey if he wants to lean into strikes he can lean into that. Not like he got him

So true, although he has lots of competition for that title. Amazing in such a major sports crazy market that the majority of the shows can be so bad and the hosts so uninformed

I’m in even if he needs TJ
