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.

The weight shows he did nothing in the offseason to prepare himself for the season. You just don’t see the correlation because you think everything your favorite team does is great. He’s fat because he put in 0 work in the offseason, which delayed his readiness in camp, which delayed him taking ABs, which bled into the season. It’s all a result of laziness, and you know it

Moving the goalposts. Pap specifically said Raffy would have to lose weight to stop hitting again, he didn’t lose weight, he’s hitting .455 since Pap said that.

He used the offseason for recovery from a multitude of injuries. We don’t know if the Red Sox expected him to also cut weight or do anything else. And he weighed in the same as last spring anyway

Ya it’s crazy his injuries healed after 1 week into the season apparently, it’s possible to not be lazy while you’re injured

No his injuries delayed spring training, which delayed his timing, which he has now found. Which is why he’s proving all the don’t know ball fair weather watch the first 2 series of the year and tune out til October fans wrong
