    Valdez/Sawamura/Brasier/Davis/Ort(older than Danish and Davis) Taylor is struggling to come back from injury. No way do they DFA him?

    The only reliever in the BOS pen with a lower leverage index is Phillips Valdez with 0.31 and that guy would constantly be buried on the bench. Cora straight up is scared to use Sawamura in any important situations. Cora preferred to go to Barnes/Brasier/Robles/Danish/Diekman/Davis all year long. If you are a low leverage guy, shouldn't your numbers be pumped up a little?

    Cora only uses him as a low leverage guy 0.66 gmLI Because he can't trust him -0.13 Clutch 4 ShutDowns 6 MeltDowns

    Fisk/Lynn was an embarrassment. Burleson didn't ultimately matter as he wasn't good after leaving. Boggs should have retired a Red Sox, but they were El Cheapo then. Pedro was my favorite, but I understood why they let him go. He really only had 2 more years left in him at best. Manny forced his way out of town. Sox filled Damon's shoes just fine. Ellsbury got paid and hit the DL just as we expected. It all worked to plan.

    All radio show callers are Johnny from Burger King.

    Betts, Raffy and Xander should have been lifers. Everyone else could have come and gone. It wouldn't have mattered.

    And I look forward to having the same conversation next year. "It's just a shame they lowballed Raffy. Too bad they are close to a playoff spot this year and can't deal him. Maybe they can re-sign him or use the payroll savings to sign someone similar."

    Yes, OR is just saying there's a benefit to being a division winner (3rd best) or the best WC as you get home field advantage in the WC round.
  9. mvp 78
    Make the regular season 150 games.
  10. mvp 78
    No, but they'd have guys on expiring ARB deals.

    Johnny from Burger King is a mythical figure as made up as "Red Sox Nation." At least on here we can point to specific people and guess as to what each person would think.

    I liked the last two lines, personally. I was just being silly. There is no more play in game, correct? The first round is best of three. Division Series is best of five. ALCS is best of 7. Therefore, WS should be best of 9.
  13. mvp 78
    C'est la vie. It is what it is. Oh well. What could have been done? No biggie.
  14. mvp 78
    So what you're saying is that since there are MORE Wild Card teams, that there is a better chance that the WS winner will be a Wild Card team and that if the best Wild Card team is the Boston Red Sox that they better get the duck boats ready?

    Tampa wouldn't let a good expiring contract go to waste like this.
  16. mvp 78
    Old Red said people on here wouldn't mind though?
  17. mvp 78
    Maybe? He's been terrible this season. Franchy/Kiké platoon at 1b until they trade for someone? The Casas injury was a real kick in the dick.
  18. mvp 78
    I can't worry about what Johnny from Burger King thinks.
  19. mvp 78
    He has a better BB rate in AAA than German.
  20. mvp 78
    Yaz 2.0
  21. mvp 78
    It's the most likely play. They can send him back down without losing him. If anything else happens in BOS, they can just call him up again.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't think Arroyo has any trade value. I'm not sure what a broken Kiké can bring back, but I think I'd be more likely to keep him for the stretch run. Sox need to decide if they want to try to advance in the playoffs of play for the future. They have some expiring contracts they can deal. As jacko has said, the worst thing they can do is to get nothing out of these expiring deals. It's great for the Yankees, but bad for the Sox long term.
  23. mvp 78
    Kiké is a 0 win player this year. Seabold doesn't look like an MLB arm. Who knows what Sale will be when he comes up. "Can you believe we split a series with the Yankees even though Tyler Danish wasn't available?" Are you trying to make this argument in a round about way?
  24. mvp 78
    You think they are going to carry 5 OFers? Who are they going to take off the roster to make room for Kiké then?

    Was listening to the game on the radio on 7/6 as we were driving back from MA. Just as McDonough was talking about Sawamura having a strong FIP for the previous month (or whatever time frame), Sawamura then chucked the ball straight to the backstop. McDonough chuckled and Sawamura forgot where the strike zone was for the remainder of the night. I think they could get by without him and Brasier if they were going to deal for two better arms. I don't think these two guys have high upside anymore and I wouldn't trust either in any sort of leveraged situation going forward. Both have been "better" lately, but statcast isn't a fan.
