    Diplan was hittable. Krehbiel (from the Rays) looked really good. I liked what I saw from him. Sulser, I didn't watch.
  2. mvp 78
    Sure thing. Swept the A's Swept the Yankees in a 4 game series Took 3 of 4 at Orioles Played .500 vs the Rays in 2 series Went 4-3 against the Twins Lost 1 game to the Yankees I'd say that looks better than what the Sox have done in September.
  3. mvp 78
    I thought it was a team option. It's a player option. Maybe the Brewers would eat half his salary in a deal?

    AKA the moonslav59 affect.

    So Dalbec k'ing 4 times is as good as a player putting the ball in play 4 times? How many GIDP's do you think are avoided by Dalbec k'ing badly?
  6. mvp 78
    Renfroe/Verdugo in LF.

    And I'm confused about JBJ's defense slipping. According to UZR/150, he's doing just fine: https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jackie-bradley-jr/12984/stats?position=OF CF 12.1 (highest since 2014) RF 30.9 LF 22.9 All those numbers seem good? Where's the slippage?
  8. mvp 78
    I think JBJ's contract next year should be pretty cheap. I think JBJ would be a better fit in RF than Marisnick. I don't see other options that are all that interesting. Maybe they are happy with Renfroe in RF? I like his arm, but his errors leave a lot to be desired.

    TBH, Dalbec is just a placeholder for Casas. Arroyo is a placeholder for Downs/Yorke. The biggest IF acquisition they should make this offseason is for a defensive upgrade at Catcher. I think the positional roster is pretty much set. I doubt Xander is traded and I doubt JD opts out. We'll see much more movement on the pitching side of things.

    The WooSox also named Yairo Munoz their team MVP, and Raynel Espinal was named their pitcher of the year, via Joe McDonald. Munoz hit .317 with a .902 OPS in 85 games, while Espinal went 11-4 with a 3.55 ERA.

    @redsoxstats 11 runs in 4 games Against tonight's Oriole starter Zac Lowther the Red Sox scored 10 runs in 5.2 innings and hit .414/.485/.621 off of him in two previous games this year.
  12. mvp 78
    Yes, the team just seems to be running through the motions.
  13. mvp 78
    This is more wins than the vast majority of fans expected of this team. However, this is just not fun right now. I think the owners just wanted to be competitive this year and had no expectations of making the playoffs. If they did, we would have seen more movement at the deadline and last offseason. We'll have to see if they loosen the restrictions this November or if it'll be wait until 2023. I have a sinking feeling they are going to hold off on FA acquisitions due to uncertainty surrounding the CBA, but that's ******** IMO.

    Don't make me put you in pollyanna jail.
  15. mvp 78
    Well, yes, 2017 Sale doesn't give up that HR to Mountcastle. I think people need to come to terms with what Sale is now.
  16. mvp 78
    I think walking and putting the ball in play aren't mutually exclusive. I was just saying that I don't really like Dalbec's all or nothing approach. Casas also has big power, but he's able to really make better contact and have more productive at bats.
  17. mvp 78
    That's how the numbers play out. Maybe the Rays are just luckier as a whole? It just FEELS like they string hits together better than the Sox do. Maybe it's just a deeper lineup? IDK.
  18. mvp 78
    Now look at their k%'s. Dalbec loves having lots of unproductive at bats. Also, I'm willing to overlook growing pains from 2 years ago. Casas has almost a 400 OBP this year.
  19. mvp 78
    Keep Xander at SS. Hope Casas is ready ASAP. Sign Manny Pina. Have someone work with Devers all offseason. Platoon Verdugo/Renfroe. Bring back JBJ and put him in RF.
  20. mvp 78
    I'd rather they end the regular season on a high note and then lose an unmemorable WC game that we'll all forget in a year or two.
  21. mvp 78
    I saw lots of lazy fly balls.
  22. mvp 78
    It'd be better if they played well and just got blown out in the WC game. The way they can stink up the joint is just not fun to watch. By the time Mountcastle got up in the 6th, you could already see that the Sox didn't really have any fight in them. Then Sale gives up a HR, pitches angry and loses his control. Bats just never woke up.
  23. mvp 78
    The future looks better with guys with good bat to ball skills like Mayer, Casas and Yorke. All or nothing players like Renfroe and Dalbec are why we go on extended slumps.
  24. mvp 78
    It's one of the reasons why Casas is a better option at 1b than Dalbec even if we're talking 4/1/22.
  25. mvp 78
    You could almost see the 2011 season slipping away when they got stuck with a patchwork starting rotation. Right now, they are all presumably healthy. The 2011 team showed no life towards the end and just died on the vine. This team will go on short bursts where they look like a playoff team and then just embarrass themselves the next series.
