Nobody scapegoats like your Boston Red Sox (hello, Juan Nieves and Chili Davis), and so on Tuesday the world learned that Swihart had been outrighted to make room for the return of Leon, who was batting a robust .120 with Pawtucket.

Do not wait under water for the Sox to admit that they were wrong about anything. Ever. They aren’t likely to admit they misused and abused Swihart starting in 2016 (they are now likely to get zip for an athletic, switch-hitting 27-year-old catcher). They’ll continue to insist that their “plan” to hold the starters back in spring training was a swell idea. They aren’t going to come clean and tell you that the Dustin Pedroia comeback should have included a longer stay in the minors. And on Tuesday they wouldn’t admit that keeping Swihart instead of Leon to start the season was a mistake. No. This sudden switch was just something they decided to do because . . . well, it was time. Oh, they want you to know that this was not a result of complaints from starting pitchers.


Perhaps it’s time for Larry Lucchino’s CEO title to be restored to the Boston masthead so the Sox can blame this hideous start on evil Larry...

Fun reading.  https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2019/04/16/shaughnessy/N1Y8ItQxrglujNEdU6i2kI/story.html?p1=Article_Recirculation_Pos2

Why would the starting pitchers need to complain?  It's right there in front of all of our faces.  Sox missed Leon.

I wish Swihart well.  I don't know if he worked his ass off to be a better defender.  If not, maybe he will now.  If he did, that should bode well for his future.  Dude can play on the offensive side - and his versatility (thank the Sox for this) is surely a positive.

Does being a first round pick change how you are treated in an organization?  Yep.  Blake is Exhibit A.

As noted yesterday, the Swiahart DFA struck me as rash and desperate.

Sox are playing poorly in every phase of the game. pitching, hitting, defense.

They just suck.

They seemed unprepared to start the season and have yet to play out of the funk.

I agree.

I do however feel the same way to constantly changing systems and rounding $$ up from $.20 to $1.

I will try not to do that again.

busy night last nifght

Sox-Celts-Bruins plus pre-Barr on CNN/MSNBC

remote got a good work out.

and generally I was not on-line

Sox-still suck, 0-2 meatball to Gardy JFC

but C's and Bs came through
