    No, the original numbers were Pythag, which made them a .500 team this season.
  2. mvp 78
    That's not what I said either.

    Sorry, I pulled the Pythagoreon W/L for Bloom. 20 .400 21 .568 22 .481 23 .493

    He was drinking too much Whistle Pig when he was designing this club. Shame!

    He wants to be competitive by not spending! Don't you get it?!? How could you blame him? He's still in the top half of the league! They can't go over every year! It's not the money spent, it's how it was spent! /s

    Ben Win%: 12 .426 13 .599 14 .438 15 .440 (at date of DD hiring) Bloom Win%: 20 .417 21 .546 22 .469 23 .501 Maybe this team can make a run as they get some players back, but losing Sale really hurt their chances. That's what happens when you build a rotation on older, injury prone guys though.

    I didn’t say they wouldn’t move to Vegas.

    DSL Blue won 10-0 today. Cespedes has a 1155 OPS and may be sent to the FCL at some point. Much more importantly though, the pitchers today for DSL Blue were: Nicolas De La Cruz 4 IP 0 ER 5 K, 0 BB, 2 H Darlyn De La Cruz 4 IP 0 ER 6 K, 2 BB, 2 H Ruben De La Cruz 1 IP 0 ER 2K, 0 BB, 0 H

    My original beef with Wacha goes back to the 2013 WS when Buck/McCarver were just fluffing the guy every chance they could get. Thankfully, he took it on the chin in Game 6. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS201310300.shtml

    Last 4 starts: 22.2 IP 3.18 ERA 1.37 WHIP 17 H 14 BB 20 K The BB's are something to monitor, but today was a good day for him.

    Don't make me go to the other board and find more SBF quotes today...
  12. mvp 78
    Michael Wacha's career mirrors the 2022 Red Sox. High expectations at the onset. Some bad stretches. Some good stretches. Overall they ended up slightly below average, but some people will go to the grave telling you that they sucked.
  13. mvp 78
    They have to pick up 24 and 25?
  14. mvp 78
    He played Raffy in Game 2 and Raffy hit 2 HR's. He sat Raffy in Game 3 and the Sox won. Seems like Cora did fine with the Raffy situation IMO.
  15. mvp 78
    I tried looking at older Cora quotes. Seems like he just plays it by ear and has in mind when a guy needs to sit. He wanted Raffy to get a rest at some point in the Rockies series and just waited until the Gomber LHP start. It was just happenstance that it was before a day off. If Raffy is really beat up or whatever, I don't see what the big deal is.
  16. mvp 78
    Biggest difference between Kluber and Wacha is that Wacha is a relatively competent starting pitcher. Seems like Kluber's career is over?
  17. mvp 78
    It'll be interesting to see if they pick up the team option. This is the first year he's been over 2 fWAR since 2017. Is it a safe bet for him to be a 2+ fWAR guy in '24 and '25? Of course the Padres don't seem to care about money at the moment. And for how much we love the Padres defense and pitchers, they have the same record as the Red Sox.
  18. mvp 78
    2 of the ER were on a 319' HR, which is among the 10 shortest HR's in professional baseball this season.
  19. mvp 78
    Drohan continued his run of good starts in WOO. 6IP 6H 1BB 7K 3ER Nice to see the BB number go down.
  20. mvp 78
    Even though it's a bad stat, coming in last says a lot about the defense.
  21. mvp 78
    It's both.
  22. mvp 78
    My replacement would be Eric Gregg, but I'm not currently in favor of digging up corpses to do my bidding.
  23. mvp 78
    Wrong-handed SPer? Gomber is a LHP. He sat Duran/Yoshida/Devers who are all LHB. WTH?
  24. mvp 78
    Yeah, Devers' best years were when he had a higher walk rate or a lower strike out rate (19, 21, 22) as it makes him a more complete hitter. Chasing bad pitches means that he'll make worse contact overall (FB% is a career high 43%). He's pulling the ball more, but not hitting line drives, just big fly outs. If he was more selective, he'd go back to making better contact IMO. Devers hits 2nd or 4th, so I don't think we'd expect the guys you listed (aside from Casas) to drive him in as they are hitting WAY behind him.
  25. mvp 78
    I'd only trust an eye test from a real eagle eyed pro like Angel Hernandez.
