    If the 2003 team had that pen, they break the curse.
  2. mvp 78
    He had a 1.50 CERA through 6 innings. Seems good! If only he had a decent pen of Paplebon, Wagner, Bard, Ramirez, Okajima, Saito to give the ball to...

    Make sure Eovaldi is COMFORTABLE what that first.

    With you, never. We know what you are doing. You're one of those nutjobs that constantly pines for the backup catcher. I bet you're one of the football sickos who roots for the 3rd string QB too.

    https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jd-martinez/6184/heat-maps?position=DH/OF&ss=&se=&hand=&count=&pitch=&season=&view=bat&data=&grid=&blur=&type=2 He's twice as likely to swing at balls low and in though. He's much better at taking that pitch than Xander is.

    It's an ok idea. Just tough to have 3 bullpen arms that you are saving for certain day. You want to lengthen the pen, not shorten it.
  7. mvp 78
    No.

    lf/dh

    Maybe other fans don't do that calculus, but that's how I feel about him. He was worth it for 2018, but I won't be sad to see him go.
  10. mvp 78
    It's still real to me dammit.
  11. mvp 78
    You bolded everyone but Vaz. That is not random. You don't want him playing anymore, do you?
  12. mvp 78
    We actually need him for the playoffs though.
  13. mvp 78
    He's a 2.6 fWAR guy who struggles in the field. He also makes a lot of money and could be leaving after this year. Sox fans just don't see him as a long term fit. He's a hired gun.
  14. mvp 78
    Is that the same time ESPN stopped tabulating it?
  15. mvp 78
    You don't want to wear out his knees though.
  16. mvp 78
    Your strawman is not true though.
  17. mvp 78
    No. With CERA, you are taking partials and dividing them further. You say that CERA is useless on a macro level. Things like OPS+ are made to compare players across the league. CERA, by your definition, cannot. Other stats can utilize a larger sample size. You say that CERA gets worse the larger you make the sample. These two things are not the same.

    Yes. Verdugo has taken a small step back or at least slightly underperformed. Verdugo is still a starting regular, but he's not a potential All Star going forward. Downs and Wong haven't shown much at all to this point.
  19. mvp 78
    Dalbec to 3b confirmed.
  20. mvp 78
    Xander WRC+ 137 Devers WRC+ 131
  21. mvp 78
    I'll stick with the good ones.
  22. mvp 78
    Have Arroyo play Catcher.
  23. mvp 78
    "Just root for the laundry." They aren't even wearing the same jerseys anymore.
  24. mvp 78
    I know we can. It would just make me sad again.
  25. mvp 78
    And what happens when sample sizes are wrong or fraught with other sample differences (opposing lineups, health of players involved, pitchers either declining or improving as time goes on, etc.)? Randomness!
