Looks like his change-up was completely broken last year and couldn't get lefties out.

Fenway was awesome this last year. It helped that both teams were awful in September and i was able to get Diamond club seats for only like $250 each.
Source confirms the Twins are very close to signing free agent first baseman/designated hitter Carlos Santana.

Not official quite yet, but expected to get done.@DWolfsonKSTP had it first.
Smooth.
Spadilly, that's a hot one.

Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
MAGA

He'll be throwing 100 in no time.
That's the truth. Seems like everyone in their pen throws 100
Rays visit #Astros Aug 2-4. Maton’s tribute video will be electric. https://t.co/GlWEhgdCG6 pic.twitter.com/w5wE6YorXZ

That makes too much sense. The two most pitching analytic forward teams signing a guy with major spin. Good piece for them.
Maton had such a strong 2023. But I didn't realize how poorly he did in high leverage.
One last props to Click who absolutely fleeced the Indians. Straw for Maton & Diaz was masterful.

He probably is now on a team that won't bring him in a tie game with 2 on and no outs
That is truly incredible
Some of that I don't blame on him. He was used in horrible situations because he gets warm fast. They've talked about it before how he only takes like 6-10 pitches to be ready to go in.
Once donkey knew that he would leave the other pitcher in too long and then throw brother Phil to the wolves.

Maton's usage was another thing Dusty got wrong last year
Phil set a career high in appearances with 68
1st half ERA ---> 2.44
2nd half ERA ---> 4.19

No data, but it feels like Maton lost his juju after his brother hit the HR off him and he broke his hand punching the locker
In his 3 years with the Astros, Maton went from “OMG no, not him” to “he’s pretty good” to “why tf didn’t he use Maton”.

I’ll say this…in 18.1 playoff IP for the Astros, this f’r gave up 1 ER.
Good luck to the hyperactive & excitable Phillip Louis Maton. https://t.co/tAjm8Jc61y
His first half era would disagree with you
I can't remember if he had an IL stint, but his last month of pitching it looked like he was back to himself.

They acquire outfielder Dominic Fletcher from the Diamondbacks for RHP Cristian Mena and send reliever Gregory Santos to the Mariners for RHP Prelander Berroa, OF Zach DeLoach, and the 69th pick in the draft
He had one when he took a line drive off his pitching elbow

We are taking my 12 year old to Fenway for two games in May as a surprise 13th birthday trip. It's against the Nats but it's still Fenway. I may end up for excited than him.
Where would yall suggest sitting?
I've never been. Trying to find a time to go this year. I think a lot of people would say "you've gotta sit on the monster" but I'd rather be looking AT the monster from the infield. Just my thought.
I watched ATL play in Fenway. Seats on the 1B side about 5 rows in front of the columns and about 30 rows straight back of Steven King.
The atmosphere in and out of the stadium was fantastic. The concourses were, well let's say you could smell the bathrooms before you could see them.

Saw the Astros win there in 2014, sat in the 90 year old grandstand seats, which was cool

30 years ago! I believe they announced Terry Collins as mgr around the same time.

Yanier wanted to sign autographs, but Dusty told him to just sit behind him and watch so he could learn how to do it right
Historians will try and tell you otherwise but Abraham Lincoln actually took his own life by accidentally stabbing himself with a dull baseball bat— a feeling to which many Phillies fans can relate https://t.co/sNYAafXVGv

Facts are facts
I think the decline began with the introduction of the DH.
I'd argue that red line should be getting steeper, not less steep.
