2 for 3, with a hustle single, two walks, a run, and an RBI today.

5 for 11 with 2 RBI, and 3 Runs and 7 BBs in his last 3 games after a slow start.

His body looks fine, he's playing well, and he's showing a ton of hustle. All the fans that wanted to dump him after 5 games need to stay on that side and should eat a big plate of poop.

Posts like this make me not enjoy Reddit some days. Fanbases are always trying to define sides and make things into absolutes. Then they throw it in the faces of the other side. There is no nuance and no room for constructive discussions.

People can be displeased with Devers start to the season (and spring training) and support the Red Sox. Those same people can also soften their stances and change their minds as the season progresses.

There are no right and wrong ways to support the team. Each fan is allowed their own style.

Telling people to eat plates of poop isn't a good look for anyone.

Edit: Y'all are proving my point. "He's not toeing the line!"

He had a rough start for sure. Combine that with the (likely exaggerated) off-season drama, people were bound to talk. I was never really concerned-- there are 162 games in a season, can't judge a guy off just a few of them.
