Cmon, you know our guy doesn’t care about that. He just wants the bat in his hand and the sun on his forehead!

Literally rookie errors from our boy; learning curve! However that first home run of the season was pretty great. And it seems like his bat has started to wake up?

limb tins & cum (gyac), Thursday, 6 April 2023 08:50 (two years ago)

Hahahaha

Quite an at bat for Triston Casas, who fouls off eight pitches and draws a 14-pitch walk. Flips the bat at the end, which, honestly, he kind of earned.

Triston struck out 4 times today ;_;

If he can't learn to handle breaking stuff or offspeed stuff when it's down and in his MLB career is going to be very cruelly foreshortened imo

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 19 April 2023 03:16 (two years ago)

I think that’s premature.

Everybody's gonna get what they got coming (gyac), Wednesday, 19 April 2023 07:12 (two years ago)

Well that’s the book on him and it’s working like a dream so far. This is his challenge. He either figures it out or hangs it up. He’s got a good enough eye that I think he does figure it out, but he needs to do it either 1) quickly or 2) in Worcester

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 19 April 2023 16:19 (two years ago)

BA still dire and still a pretty small sample size but there’s a lot of good signs - walking a lot more and has also had some bad luck with strike calls & catches. This walkless streak has now ended so his on base numbers are going up and he just has to get the hitting squared off.

Aren’t two of his three homers on the first pitch?! Anyway, hoping he’s continuing to improve and hit. Mookieproof not sure if you read this thread but he reminds me of Brandon Belt a bit?

0-3 with a walk getting to be a very familiar stat line for our young himbo. I feel for him. He looks miserable!

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:00 (two years ago)

Yeah you read that piece in the Athletic? It’s just pretty joyless grinding atm but they say they’ve seen enough to bench him if needed cos they want him to tackle major league pitching. I think he has enough confidence to work through this slump but it’s tough to watch.

Everybody's gonna get what they got coming (gyac), Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:10 (two years ago)

Btw I saw a clip of him making a pick from short and he was almost doing the splits to do so šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

btw I love KikƩ as you know but honestly he is all over the place with his fucking throws???? He made one soon after this that was into the lights, went about a mile over Casas.

Everybody's gonna get what they got coming (gyac), Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:16 (two years ago)

Yeah it's like he's got the yips. For every one of those diving stops he gives away a couple on bad throws

Casas a very natural fielder imo, always feel good when he's out there

Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:40 (two years ago)

I think based on his PAs I’ve seen he’s getting closer to where he needs to be. He seems to make a lot of hard contact but it gets caught a lot - probably mechanical as much as deciding to swing. Have seen people say he always takes a while to adjust every time they come up a level and the team is clearly pressing him to work it out - can be rough to watch. As I mentioned upthread, he’s got a lot of confidence and young players need that to keep pushing themselves on. Plus also it seems like some of his problems are classic overthinking at the plate? Idk, I hope he starts doing better soon for his own sake, your fans seem kind of awful. Also for our sake so he can start using his Twitter account again ofc

I asked Casas about this. He said he was using the injury on the field as his time to visualize some things in the batter's box. With the pitch clock, he noted, you don't have time to do that.

He's the gift that keeps on giving. https://t.co/xsa4TawOfN

One of the few bright spots on this team since he came back. Posting decent numbers despite looking lost at the plate on occasion - clearly nowhere near 100%. .342/.413/.512 with an OPS of .925. Sad to think about what this season could have been for him.

Romy Gonzalez’s utility infusion (gyac), Tuesday, 27 August 2024 09:26 (ten months ago)

if he’s a 6-7 WAR player then the sox are in the wild card

Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 27 August 2024 09:31 (ten months ago)

I mean he’s a first baseman so I don’t know that that’s really achievable? Vladimir Guerrero Jr has 4.5 according to Fangraphs & probably finishes with at least one more unless he stops hitting in September. Even guys having great seasons like Freddie Freeman & Christian Walker haven’t cracked 4. (Actually checked Bryce Harper cos he was slumping recently & he’s 3.8, which is interesting as he’s having a relative down year).

Regardless it’s great to see what he’s produced already & this team is depressing as fuck but who knows what happens if he goes off in September? They should be prioritising his extension in the offseason.

Romy Gonzalez’s utility infusion (gyac), Tuesday, 27 August 2024 11:10 (ten months ago)

(watching him for fantasy purposes) the homer he hit the other day vs the d backs was an absolute bomb. i feel like he must be doing okay health wise to generate the kinda explosion he did on that swing

slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 27 August 2024 15:30 (ten months ago)

He’s a big boy. He’s said that he feels most pain when he fouls off pitches because he has to get back in the box after a couple of seconds as opposed to hitting or striking out. Are you the person who had him on the fantasy roster? Rough season.

I saw him hit his sixth hr of the season the day before he went on the IL & the hr was like they say on TV: sounds different off the bat.

Anyway, here’s what Red Sox Stats says.

Since August 16th, the day Casas came off the IL, he ranks 3rd/194 in MLB in quality of contact. pic.twitter.com/PcyYxbYHa0

After slumping hard along with everyone else he’s having the best game of his career against Pablo Lopez & a LHP reliever - 3 home runs in 3 ABs with 7 RBIs driven in. Made some lovely plays at first too. If they trade him I’ll be so angry but they’d be incredibly stupid so.

gyac, Sunday, 22 September 2024 18:19 (nine months ago)

I watched The Franchise about the 2011 Giants and at one point Bruce Bochy talks about all the media requests he gets for Brian Wilson. Bochy said ā€œHe’s good for baseball,ā€ referring to the fact his then closer interested people as a personality.

Today the Athletic dropped this Casas article. Casas is the same, and it’s one of the reasons I think he’s going to be a star in the game.

The chance that Triston Casas will be a Hall of Fame quality hitter is 30 to 40%. Most likely he will not be. But what he almost certainly WILL be is Boog Powell or Kent Hrbek. You just don't trade those guys away before they get where they are going.
