A ring sailed right over his head, and 8 years later, Nelson Cruz is still trying to grab it.

Not a World Championship ring, but he does have 2 League Championship rings.

He's gotten to play in 2 World Series so far in his career ........ Ted Williams only got to play in 1, and Ernie Banks never had the chance at all.

Collectively we are over-hyping the kid.  Just Elias hasn't given us much else to look forward to.

For it's one, two, three <incorrect swing decisions>, and you're out...as a '20 Oriole.

He's not putting five catchers on the 40.

That wasn’t the point. But once Severino, Sisco, and Holoday start cooling down/get traded, the hysteria for Adley will probably be louder than Mountcastle and carry on for longer until he gets here (unless he becomes a total bust in the minors.)

I don't want to make it too easy for folks...and the light green is hard to read.

Bordick on the pregame show had an interesting OF BJ Surhoff comp, describing how infield quickness helped weak arms keep their heads above water....we'll see.

You gotta think the Red Sox baserunning pregame meeting tonight is....giddy up.
