Out of earshot of Casas, a veteran Red Sox pitcher walked out of the dugout, saw the scene in right field and bristled. To no one in particular, he made his feelings known.“Are you (expletive) kidding me?” the pitcher asked.

Casas meticulously assembles his guest’s plate and then holds it up for closer inspection. He softly recites something that is impossible to hear, like those baseball conversations where everybody covers their mouth. He looks like a modern-day Mark Fidrych, who appeared to talk to the baseball when he was on the mound.“I’m blessing the food,” says Casas.

Barry Zito is dead, long live Twitter beisbol king Casas.
Casas’ tweet (Nov. 29, 2022): Don’t know how I used to catch lizards they somehow evolved and became too fastCasas’ explanation: “I did try to catch a lizard (recently). Typically I could at least grab their tail and it will break off and then they’ll get away. I used to be able to scoop them up and let them run all over me. I tried to do that the other day and obviously it ran away because I didn’t catch it. And then I was seeing if anybody knew about the evolution of lizards lately. Because I feel like they have gotten more athletic.”

Idk have you watched him recently Tracer? He doesn’t look that wildly different at the plate, just a lot more assured & more willing to swing. If I wasn’t too lazy to go on Savant & find out, I’d be interested to see his % of pitches that he swings at. Scrolling back up, you said about him hitting breaking pitches and he’s had some success with them in June, to put it mildly.

I love when this guy homers twice off Max fucking Scherzer.Yeah, Scherzer isn’t who he was. But he’s still someone that could fuck a rookie up. Three ABs & couldn’t get Casas out in any of them. He clearly didn’t want to pitch around him, looking at it now. Look at this maniac staring across the plate at Scherzer after Scherzer threw him two fastballs across the plate in nearly the same spot and the second was crushedhttps://i.postimg.cc/CLFtWcGs/37c11a17-a137-4ebf-b285-83a17d88d321.jpg
Scherzer will have to wait until next season to get another crack at Casas. It was clear who emerged victorious in their first encounter."I left pitches in his wheelhouse,” Scherzer said. “I'd like to face him more. I'd like to get more at-bats against him. But tonight, I left pitches down and in for him to be able to hammer."

At 23, Casas joined Lou Gehrig as the only players ever to hit multiple homers in a game at such a tender age against an opponent with 3,000 strikeouts; Gehrig’s performance came against Walter Johnson.

Fangraphs interviewed Casas about his hitting
Laurila: You do your thinking before you step in the box.Casas: “Yes. I develop my approach to an at-bat when I’m on deck. What is the best way to go about this at-bat to put my team in the best position to succeed? Maybe I want to grind it out and I’ll be taking the first pitch. Maybe I’ll be trying to take my whack on the first pitch, trying to drive the ball into a gap, hit a double, hit a home run. Sometimes the game calls for a walk. I also look at where I’m at in the lineup; who am I protecting, or who is protecting me? A lot goes into it.“When I step into the box, I know what I want to do. I know what I’m looking for. I know what part of my swing I want to get to. I focus on what I intend to do based on my feel for the game and the situation. From there, it’s all about reaction.”

I’ve watched so much Pedroia tape. He’s hilarious. I read a piece with him earlier in the season cos he attends spring training. Two of his kids play baseball and the other doesn’t; he said that son has no interest because baseball used to take his dad away from him. I guess that’s why he’s not very involved the rest of the year but he watches all the games, he says.

Wasn't sure if I should post on the Jays thread or not, but I was listening to "Baseball Isn't Boring" podcast for Sept 16, which for some reason had Toronto radio personality Jeff Blair et al asking questions of Boston personality "Bradfo".
Blair (laughter in background): "When did Tristan Casas go from being the dude who was like, walking around the field in bare feet before the game and doing yoga and painting his nails and all that stuff, to 24 homers, first in OPS among rookies, 2nd in home runs among rookies...when did that happen? How did that happen?"
Just a disappointing question. Obviously, he's not two different people. Obviously, the behaviours/achievements are not mutually exclusive. Am I being hugely uncharitable if it sounded to me like he's asking "when did this guy go from total f** to complete chad?" Maybe it's innocuous for sports radio, i dunno. It got me wondering how Boston media has been treating his season as it relates to his personality vs. his accomplishments?

Yep, Bradfo backed him up very well with his answer. The red flag was all in the question, and I wondered how pervasive that kinda condescending tone had followed him.
thanks for that! i've been very interested in Casas for his potential and his personality, helped by yourself and this thread. i really hope he continues to live up to that potential - a very easy guy to root for, which means a lot coming from a Blue Jays fan!
I had suspected there was a tonal shift as he proved himself, and agree that it's bs to have to succeed to be accepted as an individual.

Thank you, I think just Tracer Hand and I really follow/pay attention to him, he’s a fun/unusual personality and character for baseball, and if you haven’t read the interview with him towards the beginning of the thread where he cooks for the reporter, it’s a really nice piece and he talks about the nails etc. His Fangraphs interview where he talks about hitting is also a really interesting read, he has a very mature (!?) approach to the plate.

When I started this thread I thought it might be fun to follow this weird kid over the season. This article with its quotes from/about multiple teammates is so sweet!JT is A Guy:
Turner, who played with the Orioles and Mets in the early years of his career, credits players such as Nick Markakis, Adam Jones, Ty Wigginton and David Wright for instilling the idea of a mutually respectful relationship between teammates, regardless of age. Rather than following the concept of “making them earn it,” Turner believes in embracing rookies and making sure they’re comfortable.“I always say I’m like the bumpers on a bowling lane,” Turner said. “I don’t want to interfere with them or stop them from doing anything, I just want to keep them moving in the right direction, make sure they don’t wind up in the gutter.”
Outside of the meticulous gameplan Casas follows, the rookie’s confidence not only in his routine but in the way he carries himself has stuck out to some veterans. Jansen saw that confidence firsthand one night after a game when he and Casas were the only two left in the clubhouse.As they sat eating in silence, the 23-year-old rookie turned to a 35-year-old Jansen and asked, “Hey, do you have a problem with me?”“He kind of called me out,” Jansen said. “Not called me out, but was like … ‘I have a sense that you don’t like me.’”
Though Casas noted that techniques such as grounding have been “in the works long before (he) came on this earth,”
not only have his teammates accepted Casas’ routine, some have tested it for themselves. Among those players who have joined Casas in the grass pregame? Devers, fellow rookie Yoshida and Nick Pivetta.“I think you might see a couple guys over the next couple years do it,” Casas said. “I feel like I'll be here for a while, so I'll definitely keep doing it.”

Tracer Hand, this is the Fred Lynn interview.
“It was nice to see somebody in the Major Leagues make an adjustment, because I see a ton of them just do the same thing over, and over, and over,” the nine-time All-Star said with a chuckle.
“Back then, we didn’t even see what we were hitting until Sunday when the averages came out,” Lynn recalled of having to get the newspaper just to know how everyone was faring. “It was easy to just play the game and not be overwhelmed by all the other stuff. Today’s players, they can’t do that. I don’t know how they do it, to be honest, because they can’t get away from all that chatter.”

Casas hopes to use his experience not only to help teammates but also the region. His participation alongside teammates Brennan Bernardino, Chris Murphy, and Brandon Walter in the Red Sox’ holiday caravan — with visits to hospitals and charitable programs — represented an interest in becoming more deeply invested in the community.“Baseball is great, hitting home runs is good, and winning World Series is even better, but giving back to the community and somehow making an impact in somebody’s life is better than those things,” said Casas. “I struggle sometimes with knowing my purpose in life and what this all means, being a baseball player compared to a workforce member or a teacher or a firefighter. We get so much attention and compensation that sometimes I’m confused about the dynamic of the world.“But I want to use this platform for good. Any opportunity that I can get to come up to Boston or give back to the community or hopefully one day get into (hosting)charitable events and foundations, to tap into that after I’ve gained my platform, I’m here to give going forward.”

he’s back
Red Sox' Triston Casas turned 24 on Monday and enjoyed a big b-day dinner courtesy of his dad. “My dad went to my favorite butchery shop in Miami and he got me an Australian Wagyu Tomahawk, then a separate Japanese A5 Wagyu Ribeye. So I had both of those for the birthday dinner"— Christopher Smith (@SmittyOnMLB) January 17, 2024

Him! Posted in hope a passing FrancisF might see this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iEm7ZBXhrYThere are so many shithead comments online like Ted Williams would nEvEr and bro, Teddy Ballgame wouldn’t even admit he had a Mexican mother until decades past retirement. It’s ok for players to be themselves now.

Joe Sheehan has him as the 5th best 1st-baseman in the game, behind Freddie Freeman, Matt Olson, Bryce Harper and Vladdy Jr
gyac thinks he might be better than Vladdy Jr and all I have to say about that is, it'll be interesting to watch :)

I mean maybe????? What exactly did Sheehan say? I remember he was annoyed with some Sox fan who was complaining about Casas having a low average in May or something, after he’d started hitting, but before it showed up in his numbers. Sheehan: do Red Sox fans bother watching the games?

lol he basically just pasted what he wrote before--I wrote this in an email May 31, 2023 and published it in a mailbag June 21:
Casas was hideous in April, but in May he’s at .257/.338/.429 after last night’s 0-for-5. That’s also not great, but it’s progress. The K/BB is 22/9 and the K rate is 28%, not unreasonable for the profile. May xBA is .264, xSLG is .560.I’d have understood these questions a month ago. It’s weird to get them when he’s basically playing about as you’d expect. He’s absolutely earned some patience.

Casas hit .299/.397/.556 from June 1 through the end of the season.--

"What part of that [pregame breakfast] makes you feel light for the game?"Triston Casas: "The trip to the bathroom right before the game. That'll make me feel light. I think it's the chia seeds and flax seeds running right through me. That's the light part." pic.twitter.com/zxgpOt2wEt— Sox & Shoes (@soxandshoes) March 7, 2024

At some point shortly before the season on the team plane, a group of veterans were playing poker on the back of the team charter when, after someone won a hand with a favorable river card (the fifth and final community card in a flop game), gestured like a monster and said the “River Monster” had come for one of his teammates.“It’s something to do with poker,” said first baseman Triston Casas. “I don’t play but apparently there’s something called the ‘river.’ Sometimes it frustrates players when something happens there that they lose and the other person wins. Somebody made that gesture when they were playing one day. I wasn’t there.”…“The back of the plane card game got it going, so (Nick) Pivetta and Raffy (Devers) were doing it,” Casas said. “Someone was like, ‘I’m doing that when I get on first base.“I don’t know how there can be a river in a card game. Those run through land, with water. I don’t understand.”

Cause of injury: big
Triston Casas first felt the discomfort after a swing against Ben Lively during last Wednesday’s shutout of the Cleveland Guardians at Fenway Park. The Red Sox first baseman thought it was an abdominal issue, but after trying to tough it out for a few days it eventually became clear this wasn’t an injury he could play through.Now Casas is likely to miss several months with what the club described as a rib fracture, though after a series of examinations he likened to an anatomy lesson, Casas explained his injury is actually a bit more complex than a simple bone break.“No ribs were fractured, it’s not a bone thing, it’s more of a cartilage thing,” Casas said in the Red Sox clubhouse Friday afternoon. “So there’s the rib cage and there’s the sternum, and there are pieces of cartilage that connect the two, and that’s what was torn.”Casas said he was told by the doctors that his injury is much more common in football and hockey players, and he was asked if he’d been involved in any collisions that would merit some pain in his midsection. When he told them no, the doctors chalked it up to his being so big and rotating so fast so many times when he swings that his body couldn’t hold up.“They said anywhere from three weeks to six weeks to nine weeks, they don’t know, it’s just depending on how my body is feeling,” Casas said. “Right now I’m still in pain to breathe, my lungs are still hitting my midsection. I’m still getting to like 75% capacity without pain, so the first step is to feel good breathing before I can move to cardio and then I’ll move into more anaerobic exercises and progress as I go there.”
