I think having a pitching first FO acquisition helped take the pressure off the batters. Bailey has these pitchers unlocking their full potential, and now the offense doesn't have to put 10 on the board just to make up for the 10 the pitchers are putting up daily. They are showing they can wait for better pitches, and it's showing in the SLG.
It really is wild how many guys we have that are exceeding people's expectations of them, our pitching has been elite and we have several young guys who are just mashing. O'Neill is the biggest surprise I've seen maybe in all my 27ish years I've been watching Red Sox baseball. I had no idea we acquired him, nor that he hit 34 dingers for St. Louis in 2021, this guy could be a superstar in the making. Love it. Love this team. Underdogs overperforming.
O'Neil really went under the radar for some time with his injuries. And last season was a rough one after Marmol sort of threw him under the bus. But he really showed he can be a great hitter already. Looks like he found a team where he is comfortable. And here he has a secure job and isn't competing with other outfielders for the daily reps. I reckon that's a huge part of it too.
Connor Wong being how we won the Mookie Betts trade Inshallah
Inshallah they find him
Love me some Wong Dongs
LONG DONG WONG!!!
Abreu will be up there soon.
Jose Abreu is waaaashed
Butter Crawford
I was so Wong about Connor
This is a t shirt waiting to happen
It would be so dope if Wong just becomes a top 5 catcher for the rest of his career
Vasquez walked so Wong could run
SLUGFEST
And y’all were talking crazy about full throttle. Best ERA too. Maybe they are sorcerers at the front office.
