  1. If they didn't do the Devers extension, what would the conversation be surrounding the team right now? What would the atmosphere be like?
  2. Yes, you need the guy at the top. If Sale was SALE, we'd be having a different conversation probably. It's why they overpaid for Price. It's why they unloaded in the trade for Sale. I don't believe you can wait for that guy to show up via FA.
  3. You don't want the Opening Day starter to league average or less than. He's only had 1 start go longer than 5.0 innings.
  4. Since 4/20 (10 games with new approach) 410 AVG 455 OBP 718 SLG 216 wRC+ 3 HR 7 R 10 RBI 9% BB 14% K For the season: Top 3% k rate
  5. Walter is closer to filling in than Mata or Murphy even though he doesn't show it. I think the Sox have confidence that he could come up and fill in if needed. I don't think Murphy will ever be a consistent MLB starter. Mata pitched will last time out, but he's really not consistent from start to start and inning to inning right now. I don't think the Sox could bring him up unless he can be very good for a few months straight. More likely, they just put Crawford out there and hope his recent success continues.
  6. If Kluber just pitched like 2022 Kluber, this season would look much better. Him losing 2 mph in velo and getting pounded has had a bigger impact on the staff than just his starts. It puts additional stress on the bullpen. He was signed to be a leader, but needs to spend time working on himself instead.
  7. The next move to be made will be to waive Bernardino when Joely returns. Then they'll option Crawford to make room for Paxton. Brasier survives.
  8. The wallet didn't open. It's just a shell game. They are UNDER the CBT. They signed Devers to an extension after being embarrassed at the winter meetings when Xander signed with the Padres, Chaim was left to look shell shocked at the airport and Henry was berated in public. I don't think they realistically met the expectations of "opening their wallets" and acting as a large market franchise this offseason.
  9. For you guys, yes.
  10. That's the rollercoaster to be expected with young players.
  11. With uncertainty surrounding Whitlock and health concerns of Sale, Paxton and Kluber, it's just not a comforting ride right now. It's like when Herbie the Love Bug splits in half and you're trying to win a race.
  12. Nomar and Magglio both cursed each other to be horrible after 2003 (except for Magglio's one great year in 2007).
  13. All things being equal, I have more faith in that Yankees rotation over the long haul than the Sox rotation.
  14. It's his year 26 season. His bday is later this month. The Logan Allen 2 was still in High School when the Red Sox made the Logan Allen 1 trade.
  15. It's important to fight against disinformation spread on here.
  16. My comment was more about you saying "he's not doing well."
  17. I bet the next rankings look like: Mayer Casas Bleis Rafaela Yorke Mata Romero Perales Walter Drohan Paulino Anthony Valdez Lugo Wikelman ERC Hickey Jordan Murphy Kavadas
  18. I mean, you could just look at the game logs... 1: 0.2 IP, 4 ER 2: 2.1 IP, 3 ER 3: 4 IP, 1 ER 4: 5 IP, 1 ER I would say he's trending in the right direction the last two starts.
  19. As others have stated, Logan Allen 1 was a throw in on the Kimbrell trade. This is Logan Allen 2, an improved version. This one is only 24.
  20. About to be tied for 4th place.
  21. I don’t post in bold, so probably not.
  22. Did Youk say War Pigs is underrated?
  23. Sounds like a typical moon post to me.
