A Realistic View of 2024: Part II

[A Red Sox fan named Hugh]

Their circumstances are different and they are different pitchers. Those pitchers noted are BETTER than Pivetta and they got less years than some expect Pivetta to for some reason. I was just responding to the idea that pitchers in their 30's typically get contracts longer than 2 years.

Well I didn't clarify this so it's my bad but I meant pitchers who are healthy and don't have any abnormal situations or concerns. There's usually something going on when a guy gets a 1-2 year deal.....or they're just old as FFFF

Pivetta has already been on the IL, so early in the season.

One minor IL stint means nothing compared to his seemingly enitre career of health. Especially if he finishes the season and has clean medicals. No one will care that he missed a month back in April if he finshes this season fine.

I guess they need to make Slaten a starter.

He read your post and developed a twitch in his eye. But Cora said they're going to take care of him.

Next week, they hope to monitor him reading monitors on flat ground.

It means a lot if he’s throwing different pitches today that puts more stress on the arm. I agree on how he finishes the season though.

Using a modified QS formula, here are our SP numbers:

MQS:
7+ IP 0-3 ER
5+ IP 0-2 ER
4+ IP 0-1 ER

10 Houck (12 starts) would be 11, if you count his 6 IP/ 3ER game.
8 Crawford (13) He also had a 6IP/3ER game that does not count, here.
7 Criswell (9) The team is 7-2 in his starts.
6 Pivetta (8) The two 5 ER games has killed his ERA.
5 Bello (10) He had one 6/3 as well.

83% Houck
78% Criswell
75% Pivetta
62% Crawford
50% Bello

If he finishes the season healthy, there will be a 4 year deal waiting for him somewhere if he wants it.

They'll take real good care of him. Real good.

[mvp 78]

Knowing us, that might happen, someday.

Bernardino, too.

LOL

Have Slaten pitch 250 IP. Bernardino is older so you gotta be a little more careful with him, maybe only 225.

This prediction recorded for posterity.

Jordan Montgomery bombed again yesterday and booed off the field by Arizona fans. Sox dodged a bullet by not signing him.

I’d still take him on a one year deal. If nothing else, he’s given the Diamondbacks 46 IP the Sox don’t have the depth to cover…

THIS outlines the importance of having a spring training, not having one really messed him up. Blake SNell has looked horrible too, same deal.

Time for Boras to retire.

Maybe we trade for him at the deadline.
