    He's been HORRIBLE in May.
  2. 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.
  3. mvp 78
    The MIF options are not great!
  4. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.

    Wow!

    TBR: 5th in Starter fWAR 29th in Reliever fWAR 1st in Batting fWAR
  10. mvp 78
    4 ip and the guy was injured for most of the season already.

    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.
  13. mvp 78
    Putting Rafaela in CF fixes the IF defense how?
  14. mvp 78
    Paternity list.
  15. mvp 78
    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.

    “Sox best pinch hitter” swings at balls near his laces
  17. mvp 78
    Hit em where they aint
  18. mvp 78
    Winchokeski
  19. mvp 78
    Not necessarily. Than a lunchpail middle reliever? Sure. Than a late inning guy that can possibly get you multiple innings? It's not so clear cut.
  20. mvp 78
    Bello may have only given up 1 run, but he was walking quite the tightrope. It was far from a clean 4 innings. He had a monstrous pitch count early on. It's his fault they needed 5 innings of bullpen help.
  21. mvp 78
    Trade him to NYY for Jasson Dominguez. Per BTV: Peraza/Dominguez/Mayea for Mayer
  22. mvp 78
    Mariano Rivera has less career fWAR than Tony Fernandez. Therefore, he was less valuable than Tony Fernandez and should not be in the HOF.
  23. mvp 78
    I wouldn't mind Kiké so much if he could just not throw the ball away every other inning. Maybe 2B helps with that? He's been bad defensively everywhere so far this season.
  24. mvp 78
    I think so too. He's a very professional hitter and fits what the organization has been trying to add to this lineup.
  25. mvp 78
    There was talk this offseason that Masa would struggle with velo in MLB. So far, he has a 641 SLG and +10 Run Value against 4 seamers. He's struggling against cutters and sliders.
