  1. Hernández CF, Schwarber 1B, Bogaerts SS, Devers 3B, Martinez DH, Verdugo LF, Renfroe RF, Vázquez C, Iglesias 2B
  2. "The object of the game is to win. If the pitcher wins the game, they have done what was expected of them. The best pitchers win the most games."
  3. 165 Average 106 WRC+ You don't trade a ton of prospects and hope to bring that back.
  4. Seems like Pivetta was almost equal to ERod in terms of GIVING HIS TEAM A CHANCE TO WIN this season.
  5. @alexspeier Red Sox are having their team photo taken today. Phillips Valdez is present - meaning he’s done with his quarantine in Chicago. I believe he was the last Sox player to test positive for COVID-19, meaning that for the first time since 8/26 (27 days ago), no Sox are quarantined. You've come a long way, baby.
  6. Xander said as much in his postgame.
  7. 2021 ERod isn't 2019 ERod. Sep Pivetta ERA is better than Sep ERod ERA.
  8. CERA is fake. All of his other stats are valid and appreciated.
  9. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31631004/ranking-mlb-city-connect-uniforms Design inspiration: The Red Sox went with the most radical design among the uniforms released thus far, unveiling the first uniform in team history to feature yellow and blue as the primary colors. On the front of the yellow jersey, there is a blue stenciled font, and the hat is blue. While the team featured blue as a primary color through 1907, the team has primarily sported red since 1908. The Boston Marathon and Patriots' Day hold a special place in the culture of Boston, and the team decided to pay homage to the city's unique holiday through its uniforms, highlighted by the 617 marathon bib patch on the left sleeve. These were designed locally. Sox are wearing them right now, because they wanted to wear them last weekend. Now that they are in a winning streak, they may be wearing them for a bit longer.
  10. That's exactly what JH meant though.
  11. You don't earn your contract based off of things that happened before the contract was even signed.
  12. They have 2?
  13. 1. " I think you guys think I value it more than I do, because I spend so much time arguing it matters." There's only one way to fix that. 2. "Those consistent 1.00 to 1.50 ERA disparities have to all be just chance randomness and strength of opponent's offenses." The differences are NOT consistent though. They are random.
  14. He's the most likely to be a contributing MLBer. He may wind up in LF/DH land though.
  15. You fall for the bait every time. Like a tunnel painted on the side of a wall. You're going to run into it every damn time. C'mon man.
  16. Pitcher: Hey coach, I like pitching to Catcher 1. I want him every game. Coach: But Catcher 2 has a better CERA with you this season. Pitcher: I like Catcher 1 better. Thanks.
  17. Eovaldi 12 QS ERod 9 QS Pivetta 8 QS He's about as good as Nick Pivetta.
  18. What was the last year Sandy Leon played with the Sox? You know, the year they decided they didn't need to see anymore of him? I'll just take this call off air and hang up and listen. Thanks.
  19. That's why I think a guy like Manny Pina would be a good offseason get for the Sox. Until the robo umps actually show up, you can't just ignore framing. It's how you get calls like this: https://twitter.com/PitchingNinja/status/1440461254393417739 Vaz just isn't worth the price tag anymore. Plawecki is just Doug Mirabelli, but worse defensively.
  20. They didn't feel the need to make a second offer because they knew enough of these little piggies would just make excuses for the ownership and just blame the greedy player anyway. No reason for PR! Fans have already bought the jersey!
  21. In 2019, Leon was 18th in framing, Plawecki was 12th and Vaz was 5th. That Plawecki number is hilarious because he's horrible at framing now. Maybe because Vaz is rubbing off on him!
  22. 1. Buchholz's best seasons were either early in his career or 2013. I can't blame Vaz's CERA with Buchholz on Vaz. Buch was just a flawed pitcher who was trending down prior to Vaz coming to BOS. 2. ERod seems like a push. 3. If the argument is that Leon is better defensively than Vaz, I don't think you have to resort to using CERA for that. You have gone from saying that Plawecki is better with the pitching staff because of CERA, to now just saying Leon is better. Nobody will refute that Sandy Leon is better defensively than Vaz. We just disagree that you got on this CERA bandwagon because of Plawecki.
  23. I have much more sympathy for nutjobs.
