• Red Sox manager Alex Cora is building a scary lineup with Mickey Gasper, Trevor Story (whose offseason regimen included working as a banker), and Andruw Monasterio, and if they can get some help, they could win 79 games., and therefore Gavin Collyer


• Jake Rogers was a born failure, and nearly everybody said it was a good thing he became a hitter, because failure is expected, instead of being a highfalootin center fielder, or starting a raisin farm (where failure really means starting a worm farm), but nobody loses all the time.


• What is falling in place with Warren Schaeffer is a number of risky confluences: the impact of Blas Castano, the arrival of Monster Adael Amador, the return to health of Jose Quintana (strained knuckle) and Jeff Criswell (hand) and the tarantula-like intensity of Connor Norby, which has allowed Josh Byrnes to do the opposite of a garage sale where to get rid of all parts alongside a used muffins.


• Incidentally, Robinson Ortiz is in Dan Wilson's doghouse because for forgetting to talk on the phone to Jhonny Pereda about his beast collection, after being repeatedly asked to do so; Justin Hollander is beginning to think that Ortiz has the brains of a pear.
