9/12 Jays Bleu

[moonslav59]

Price is pitching great, but his margin of error is zero his last few games.

 

Price would be very mad at you for saying, "f*** you" to his best buddy, Sandy.

[moonslav59]

Seems we've been scoring a lot on WPs lately.

[Station 13]

Price would be very mad at you for saying, "f*** you" to his best buddy, Sandy.

 

Did Sandy become his binky too?

[illinoisredsox]

Did Sandy become his binky too?

 

So what if he did? They have worked very well together all season, why mess with success?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unlike the MVP where there's some question, there's no doubt the CY YOUNG should go to Snell.

[FredLynn]

So what if he did? They have worked very well together all season, why mess with success?

 

Maybe Sandy should learn to "call a great game" with the relief pitchers too.

[moonslav59]

Did Sandy become his binky too?

 

I could care less.

 

If it works, don't mess with it.

 

price's dominance is more important than one more PA by Leon.

[moonslav59]

Maybe Sandy should learn to "call a great game" with the relief pitchers too.

 

The good thing is, we can PH for him by the time the pen comes in.

 

Another reason to carry 3 catchers.

[moonslav59]

Unlike the MVP where there's some question, there's no doubt the CY YOUNG should go to Snell.

 

I'd give it to Sandy.

[FredLynn]

If Devers is in the lineup too Swihart should be catching to START the game.

[Tedballgame]

Hopefully, Price can go 8.

[moonslav59]

If Devers is in the lineup too Swihart should be catching to START the game.

 

Tell that to whoever is the starting pitcher.

 

He may demand to be traded.

[illinoisredsox]

Unlike the MVP where there's some question, there's no doubt the CY YOUNG should go to Snell.

 

Agreed. He's got all the numbers, traditional and modern.

[illinoisredsox]

Nice play by Devers; seems like most of his fielding problems occur on plays where he has time to think. If he just has to react, he is usually okay.

[FredLynn]

Tell that to whoever is the starting pitcher.

 

He may demand to be traded.

 

Like I said, if Leon is that great a catcher and was responsible for the low ERAs of our SPs then our RPs should also get the same benefit.

They aren't.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'd give it to Sandy.

 

Sandy is definitely the CY YOUNG of hitting.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great game by Price. If it wasn't for the .230 batter Solarde, Price would have a perfect game so far.

[a700hitter]

If price gets us through 8 innings with a 1-0 lead, we will need to say a prayer or sacrifice a virgin to the baseball gods before Kimbrel takes the mound in the 9th. He has given up 2 game tying HRs to these guys this season.

[a700hitter]

Wright in the 8th? This is another button that I wouldn't push.

[moonslav59]

Like I said, if Leon is that great a catcher and was responsible for the low ERAs of our SPs then our RPs should also get the same benefit.

They aren't.

 

You think it's all that simple?

 

Leon is not the best with each starter either. It takes time to build rapport and comfort levels.

[Slasher9]

Price with an absolute GEM.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In the playoffs Wright could be used similarly to how Tito used Miller last year.

[illinoisredsox]

Sandy is definitely the CY YOUNG of hitting.

 

It's a better comparison than you think. Cy Young was a pretty good hitting pitcher, with a slash line of .210/.234/.516 in the deadball era. Leon over 7 years is .229/.293/.635 in a decidedly different era for hitting.

[moonslav59]

Wright in the 8th? This is another button that I wouldn't push.

 

Who else then?

[illinoisredsox]

Great game by Price. If it wasn't for the .230 batter Solarde, Price would have a perfect game so far.

 

Nope, Price allowed 3 hits as Davis got his first major league hit in the 6th.

[Slasher9]

But he "calls a great game" ......and "the pitchers love him".

 

Well...I mean price just pitched 7 scoreless so there’s that....

[moonslav59]

Leon is priceless.

[Slasher9]

Who else then?

 

I guess Cora is telling Kelly something. But not sure why not braz?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nope, Price allowed 3 hits as Davis got his first major league hit in the 6th.

 

Thanks. My bad.

[redsoxrules]

Price should have pitched the 8th
