Just a few years after fielding some of the most star-studded teams in recent memory and winning a World Series, the Washington Nationals have becoming shockingly irrelevant. They’re so irrelevant that I didn’t even know they’ve attempted to bring back the bullpen cart which, as it turns out, the Red Sox relievers aren’t too excited about. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)
But what’s one thing the Red Sox bullpen is excited about? Killing time during the early innings by wondering whether the Earth is actually flat. (Varun Shankar, Boston Globe)
So that’s interesting, but not quite as interesting as watching Triston Casas develop into an offensive weapon over the course of the last few months.
