    Our farm would be much better if we never tried to win a WS.
  2. mvp 78
    The report I pulled must not have had all the info.
  3. mvp 78
    Mantle vs Radatz 19PA, 12k, 3BB, 3 H, 1 HR, 753 OPS
  4. mvp 78
    @SoxNotes Most strikeouts as a reliever, Red Sox history: 1. Dick Radatz – 629 2. Matt Barnes – 517 3. Bob Stanley – 516 Not sure Barnes will catch up to the Monster at this point.
  5. mvp 78
    Today, yes. Next year, who knows?
  6. mvp 78
    Price's contract on the books, but nothing else.
  7. mvp 78
    If we were, we wouldn't be over the luxury tax cap right now.
  8. mvp 78
    Clearly.

    https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/ryan-brasier-518489?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb How he is actually pitching right now is what is important and it's been terrible. Bottom 1% in xSLG, EV, Hard Hit%. He's getting rocked. Move on.
  10. mvp 78
    I don't know how they could rely on Sale coming back after seeing how he was last year down the stretch.
  11. mvp 78
    2018 was a LOOOONG time ago for that guy.
  12. mvp 78
    I thought the plan wasn't to have Whitlock in the rotation?
  13. mvp 78
    Who would want Barnes, Diekman, Brasier or Hill right now?
  14. mvp 78
    Diekman is struggling because he's a bad pitcher, not because of the guys around him. He fails against the bottom of the order. They have no trust in Valdez and Sawamura and don't use them in pressure situations. Danish isn't an MLBer. Brasier should be DFA'd. Crawford should be in WOO. Barnes is lost. It's a bad pen.
  15. mvp 78
    With Pivetta struggling and Sale out, all those guys are good enough to be in this rotation.
  16. mvp 78
    Hill, Paxton and Wacha are relievers? I think simply signing Diekman and Strahm doesn't really show him putting an emphasis on improving the pen at all.
  17. mvp 78
    The boys famously fought over who got to ride in the front seat on the way home afterwards. Rough night for mom.
  18. mvp 78
    Not until Casas is called up.
  19. mvp 78
    1. Trevor Story 2B 2. Alex Verdugo LF 3. Xander Bogaerts SS 4. J.D. Martinez DH 5. Enrique Hernandez CF 6. Jackie Bradley RF 7. Bobby Dalbec 1B 8. Christian Arroyo 3B 9. Christian Vazquez C Pivetta
  20. mvp 78
    @brendan_camp Christian Arroyo playing third base for the first time in his Red Sox career tonight. Oh God. What is this lineup....
  21. mvp 78
    Don't you go mooning up my post.
  22. mvp 78
    https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/1518982380165468160 Sox have used Diekman and Robles the most as their highest leverage closers. For some unknown reason, they keep putting Brasier in that position too. Diekman's way too early 6.28 FIP portends for some correction though.
  23. mvp 78
    Half. 15th in fWAR, 12th in FIP, 23rd in LOB%, 26th in GB%. Average of those 4 is 19. 15/16 is midpoint. It's still early, but they seem like an "average" pen to me. I wouldn't say above average though. Not yet anyway.
  24. mvp 78
    Someone you'd ignore when they were signed. I don't think anyone expected much out of him that offseason. Him working with Whitlock more than made up for his salary though.
  25. mvp 78
    He replicated his boyhood hero's fete of hitting 5HR over the course of a double header, which he was in attendance for. "Interestingly, Colbert grew up in St. Louis and, in post-game interview with Tom Emory of the Associated Press, claims to have personally witnessed his boyhood idol's historic feat (correctly identifying both the venue and the day of the week): I was there when Stan hit those five in old Busch Stadium. Hitting five in one day is unreal. I don't remember the exact day, but I know it was a Sunday. Stan was my first hero when I was growing up. I'd be pretty proud to have the kind of batting average he had."
