    And it's the entire staff giving up HR's too. Pivetta and Kluber were absolutely dreadful though averaging over 2 per 9.
  2. mvp 78
    No, there aren't enough guys in the pen to cover 3-4 IP very often. That will run the bullpen ragged and there isn't much help coming from AAA.

    We've already seen Rafaela play SS. We know what he is and he's better in CF. Mookie was better in the OF, that's why they moved him there. Mookie was able to hit in AA and AAA. Rafaela isn't hitting.

    And how do you separate any personnel decision from Bloom and BOH? Is it Bloom's fault they went over the CBT last season or was that pushed by ownership? A lot of things we just don't know. However, we do know that Bloom AND Henry have both not really covered themselves in glory since the end of the 2019 season.

    He's the first that gets sent to the wall when the revolution comes.

    I don't believe he wants to spend on the Red Sox. That's what I've heard. I don't seem to remember him saying this out loud in 2019 though. I've heard there's a push and pull between him and Werner as to spending money.

    You can't pick and choose. It's on all of them.

    He still plays SS like once a week, but I just don't see them calling him up all the way to BOS to play SS. He is struggling at the plate and his highest value is in CF. Bringing him up to play SS doesn't make much sense. Just wait until Chang is healthy or whatever.

    No, he wasn't. Do you think the birth certificate he has is lying or his listed birthdate on fangraphs is wrong?
  10. mvp 78
    You have that quote handy for us?
  11. mvp 78
    He's been HORRIBLE in May.
  12. mvp 78
    He wouldn't hit 660 in MLB. Below 550? Under 500? Why ruin any development you've tried to put into him at this point. At least let him succeed.
  13. mvp 78
    The MIF options are not great!
  14. mvp 78
    Why would you bring up Rafaela to play SS? He's a good SS, but he's much much better at CF. That 684 OPS in AA isn't shouting to me that he needs a callup either...

    Kiké has a higher wRC+ than Arroyo. I'm not sure either guy is a starter. Platoon Valdez and Arroyo I guess? They most likely DFA Reyes.
  16. mvp 78
    I think the hope was for a strong second half push: C McGuire/Wong good defense 1B Casas/Turner ok defense 2B Kiké above average defense career wise SS Story has been good in the past 3B Devers hopeful of him getting better LF Yoshida just hide him CF Rafaela GG RF Verdugo hoped that he would revert to 2020 version
  17. mvp 78
    I think some of the issues point back to Cora consistently putting Kiké back out there at SS. At this point, they need to just run with a glove first guy like Reyes and let Kiké be a UTIL guy. Having Kiké AND Valdez up the middle is just BRUTAL.
  18. mvp 78
    Wow!
  19. mvp 78
    TBR: 5th in Starter fWAR 29th in Reliever fWAR 1st in Batting fWAR
  20. mvp 78
    4 ip and the guy was injured for most of the season already.
  21. mvp 78
    It's not so much "bad pitching" but rather relief pitchers are no longer the ham and eggers they once were. Now there are lots of guys pumping 100 with wipeout sliders. Nasty two pitch pitchers that are so much better of an option that it doesn't make much sense to really have a starter struggle to get into the 7th or 8th inning with diminished stuff. Just call for the high octane guys you have sitting in the back and close out the game.

    This year's low attendance has more to do with how poorly with how they played last year than how they are playing this year. For comparison, the stadium was packed to the gills in 2018 when they had the greatest Sox team of our lifetime. It was actually LESS than 2017 and 2019.
  23. mvp 78
    Putting Rafaela in CF fixes the IF defense how?
  24. mvp 78
    Paternity list.

    Chase Shugart also got beat up a good bit last night. 0.2 INN, 5 ER, 2 BB, 5 H, 2 HR. He had a good stretch for a while, but really took it on the chin in a few outings. That pitching staff really doesn't have much going on and is pretty disappointing. May as well start speed running some of better prospects through the system. There's nobody in their way at AAA.
