    If LHP are going, sure.

    A bridge to the next bridge.

    He's 27. He's spent a few years working on a third pitch. He just isn't really able to turn a lineup over. Can you throw him out there as a 5th starter for a while and see if he figures it out sometime? Sure. I don't feel like his stuff really popped when he was pitching out of the pen.

    Well, if you aren't spending top of the draft capital or over slot capital on pitching, all your getting are value plays. Are those expected to work out into a a complete starting rotation? That doesn't seem like a safe bet to me.

    It's what happens when you utilize a player correctly.

    https://www.milb.com/player/jack-leiter-683004 Technically they can, but nobody is a sure bet even college pitchers.

    deGrom and Rodon staying healthy weren't safe bets.

    And people switching to other means of watching the Sox. And people just not caring about baseball as much anymore. And a whole host of reasons.

    Even if it changes, that's a 3-4 year waiting time at best...

    @WooSox Walter on the bump! What are we guessing? 3.2 INN, 5 ER?
  11. mvp 78
    Throw every ball into the concession stand.
  12. mvp 78
    Let's get crazy with it.

    The mistake they made was thinking they could make up the rotation on the fly year in and year out. Everything else has been whatever. To me, it's always been the rotation. Mookie, Xander, JD, Vaz, JBJ, Beni, et al left, but the Sox are still scoring runs. The problem is that the starting rotation is a steaming pile of horseshit because you need an actual plan in place and can't just pull a good rotation out of your ass.

    There are a few exceptions and it really depends on the type of "stuff" the guy has. I never liked Derek Lowe out of the pen. He seemed to be a starter only profile to me.

    The ratings were even dropping as they were winning division titles with DD. The glory days of the early 2000's will never come back.
  16. mvp 78
    I think he likes the interactions and the back and forth. I don't think he realizes that he comes off poorly. That's why they have put in a middle man (Sammy) and have shuttered Henry off to the owner's suite no longer to be spoken to by Johnny From Burger King again.
  17. mvp 78
    Cord cutting. NESN ratings have gone down year over year over year no matter their standing.
  18. mvp 78
    Not sure that's allowed?
  19. mvp 78
    Complete Polar Park opposites from what I see.

    I was hopeful that he was going to really rocket through the system this year, but I'll settle for him getting to Fenway next year I guess...
  21. mvp 78
    I realized you were being sarcastic. I didn't know about his relief outing, but went back and looked at the Statcast from the game to see what it looked like. I don't know what their plan is right now. It's quite the mess. This is the part in the Herbie movie where s/he's in the middle of the race and falling apart.
  22. mvp 78
    I've been trapped in here so long that the whining only really bothers me from one poster who gets put on ignore at the start of every season just because of the gamethreads.
  23. mvp 78
    Louisville has the highest OPS in the International League and he kept their contact soft. My worry is that his velo was all over the place, especially in the first inning. If he comes up in relief and tries to get over a 91 mph 4 seamer, it's not going to go well. He got it up to 96 later on in the outing, but it seemed like it took a while for him to get warmed up? I just don't have faith that he can transition to a bullpen role the way Winckowski has.
  24. mvp 78
    I'd ask Henry, but he'd just laugh and look at his watch then Sammy would shoo him away.
  25. mvp 78
    I was agreeing with you, dork.
