But you were wrong since the team was really good in 2021. You can't just dismiss 2021 as a fluke because it doesn't fit your narrative.
-
You are saying the loss of Price and Mookie's 60M and their contribution was the cliff. The money is just the money. Price's onfield contribution wasn't all that great TBH.
-
Seems like the bigger cliff would have been 2022 after all these FA's left including Xander? Everything prior to 2022 should have been still in the window.
-
I think saves are a stupid stat. I don't typically use them as any sort of metric on here. By definition, the save can ONLY go to the pitcher.
-
2.4 fWAR. I don't see many people adding Porcello to the cliff talk here. That was his fWAR too in 2018.
-
The cliff forced Bloom to go with a 3 man rotation and fill the pen with AAA guys.
-
They were declining, but still ended up in the ALCS in 2021 after going over the cliff?
-
Did you watch the whole video of #2, not just the first catch? There were a few catches that were basically Beni's catch.
-
-
For ALL the marbles... and maybe some pogs too.
-
Trading Mookie was the cliff.
-
The real cliff was 2011!
-
LOL, no.
-
The Lindbergh baby deserved it.
-
Just because he's rich, doesn't mean he's isn't dumb.
-
If I'm Verlander, I'm holding out for guaranteed money.
-
They declined so horribly that Betts went off and is a superstar in LA, Benintendi was an All Star in 2022, JD was an All Star in 2022 and Bogey is going to make $200M.
-
I've seen better catches in the Little League World Series.
-
Sale's injury and ERod's COVID diagnosis was preplanned?
-
Is there a toll at the end of it?
-
They were 13th in fWAR in 2018. Not exactly an amazing bullpen.
-
Did the Phillies lose because of blown leads due to their bullpen? Maybe you could blame one loss on their pen, but hard to blame the Phillies pitching if the offense could only score 1 run that game. Combining the 4 Phillies losses in the World Series, they scored only 5 runs. Hard to blame the pen if the offense is averaging 1.25 runs each loss.
-
Yes, sir.
-
The only reason you think they shouldn't have been competitive is because you were endlessly banging the cliff narrative. The foundation of the team was still largely the same as the 2018 team. It had changed, but wasn't completely gutted. Post 2022, it now doesn't resemble 2018.

The Sox have carried guys like Groome on the 40 man who had no shot of helping BOS that season. I'm kind of surprised they didn't select Wikelman unless they think he's trending away from being a starter, aren't convinced in his late season turnaround or just think it's going to take him too long to reach BOS. Wallace COULD make the bigs, but his ceiling is middle relief. You can't really protect every guy who profiles as a middle reliever. If that were the case, you wouldn't have enough room for incoming FA's. I'd be surprised if more than 2 Sox get selected. It's much more likely that only one guy is selected. If anything, Ward and Wikelman are selected and one gets returned in season. Sox could also select old friend Aldo Ramirez who the Cubs left off their 40 man roster.
