    His arm was a known issue...

    To be fair, Bloom added Schwarber and Renfroe, but just let them leave. Duvall looked like he could have replaced Renfroe's production. Duvall didn't get injured because he was out of position. He could have been hurt running in on that same ball in LF or RF. He's a former GG winner. He's not some schlub. It's not like he was injured playing 3B or something.

    Less than 100 PA's in that sample size. Last year in AAA: LHP: 967 OPS RHP: 798 OPS

    I'd rather have McGuire, Anthony and Crawford than Houck.

    I think EVERYONE wanted a SS. Kiké wasn't the ideal option. As a fallback plan during the season, it's ok, but not going into it.

    In 2020, NESN went out of their way to talk up Springs as a late inning arm and potential closer. The Sox liked his spin rate and whiff %. I'm still surprised that they gave up on him, but stuck with some of the junk they kept around early on in 2021.

    I'm glad you can admit when you're wrong about something.

    There's been a lot. He makes some good choices, follows it up with a bad choice, then gets shown up a year later. Picks up Springs and then trades him to the Rays. Yikes. Picks up Martin Perez and then lets him go to the Rangers. Attempts (?) to re-sign Xander, but signs Story instead. Xander leaves for the Padres. Story gets injured. Xander hits lots of dingers. Yikes. Trades Vaz to HOU. Vaz wins a ring. Vaz wants to re-sign with the Sox. Bloom says no. Vaz is currently catching a great staff in MN. To fill (?) the hole at SS, Bloom puts Kiké there and signs Duvall (primarily a RFer) to play CF. Duvall gets injured. There is no depth up the middle. Signs oft-injured Paxton for 2 years. Paxton stays injured. Bloom gets his pants pulled down in the Rule 5 draft. Calls up Dalbec to play SS (?) because he can probably fake it. He boots the first ball. He just makes the weirdest most daft decisions. I said he'll probably get fired at the Memorial Day BBQ. We'll see.

    Yeah, can't get any ballgames when you get near the beach. If my office was directly across from the beach, I certainly wouldn't be able to follow the Sox anymore. Enjoy your break. If the Sox go on a streak while your gone, mojo says you can't come back.
  10. mvp 78
    Houck and Duran gets it done for O'Neill and De Jong.
  11. mvp 78
    You wanted Dalbec at SS yesterday. Don't try to cover your tracks and slink out the door the morning after, sir.
  12. mvp 78
    Game 1: Wentz LHP Game 2: Boyd LHP Game 3: Fleming LHP Game 4: McClanahan LHP Random? No. What do all these pitchers have in common??? What did I say above about how they are splitting the time with these catchers? Did you hit your head this morning? Should I call a doctor for you? Do you need medical attention?
  13. mvp 78
    Sounds like buzzarding to me.
  14. mvp 78
    Oh no, not that! Anything but that! Must commit seppuku after I finish the monthly financials today. Using CERA for an argument over a 4 series stretch? Looking at catcher usage over a 4 series stretch as a barometer for what will happen for the whole season? C'mon man! Bloom is just as likely to throw Dalbec there at some point to increase his trade value.
  15. mvp 78
    Considering that the manager is bad mouthing O'Neill in the press, you could probably get that package for less.
  16. mvp 78
    With Kluber and Pivetta, we're talking about the difference between one start. Like what are we doing here? Kluber had a bad start on Opening Day because it was cold as s***. Pivetta had a mediocre start because he's a mediocre pitcher. Saying Ort is "noticeably better" when his OPS is still 845 is just embarrassing. A bad pitcher is a bad pitcher. CERA over such a small sample is just dumb.

    @itsbrianbarrett Chris Sale 48.6% hard hit rate (balls off the bat 95+ mph ) 58th of 67 qualified starters 10.8% barrel % - 58th 5 bombs - t-3rd most 11.25 ERA - last!!!!!! 2.08 WHIP - 64th .321 OBA - 61st 10.9% walk rate - 55th *command has been atrocious!!! I can't believe McGuire would do this to Sale!!!

    @ByAndrewParker WooSox manager Chad Tracy told me postgame yesterday that when David Hamilton gets on base, he has unlimited freedom to steal and advance bases. He noted Hamilton went first to third successfully on an infield single last night. The speed is real. @SoxProspects David Hamilton homered (3) for the second night in a row in Worcester's 10-5 loss tonight. The 25-year-old infielder is off to a hot start slashing .419/.438/.839 with five stolen bases over 32 PA. I guess it's more important to dick around with Bobby Dalbec at SS for some reason?
  19. mvp 78
    Only 2 games back of the Wild Card!!! Still in it!!!
  20. mvp 78
    Mondesi is also still 45 days away. They need a fix long before then. If Hamilton isn't really an option, he should have never been put on the 40 man.
  21. mvp 78
    You wanted Dalbec yesterday and now after one error, you're out. What a quitter. That's loser behavior.
  22. mvp 78
    They are catching different pitchers though. It's just not a fair comparison, which is why CERA isn't widely recognized. Wong started because I think they are doing a platoon split based on R/L matchups.
  23. mvp 78
    Chang is still at 000. I'm not sure if Hamilton can hit in MLB, BUT his EV early on has been much higher than it has in previous season. If he's making more productive contact at the plate, he could find more sustained success. He would probably k too much and never walk, but it's not like he has a high ceiling that you are worried about hindering. Just run him into the ground while you need him.
  24. mvp 78
    Completely missed the mark with this one. He was 0 for 4, 2 k.
  25. mvp 78
    It's true though. Tampa has been competitive year in and year out. Sox are either first place or dead last.
