    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.

    Eovaldi 12 QS ERod 9 QS Pivetta 8 QS He's about as good as Nick Pivetta.

    It's zero.

    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.

    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.

    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!
  7. mvp 78
    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!

    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.

    Always.

    I have much more sympathy for nutjobs.
  11. mvp 78
    It's just bad negotiating.

    He's only caught 500 innings with the Sox. How many pitchers have worked with him for "HUNDREDS" of innings. At most, it would be 2. Even then, you'd need to account for opposing lineups which would bring that already SSS even more meaningless.

    I learned the following after reading this thread: ERod is balless and spineless. Brasier should not throw his best pitch.

    Living the dream.

    They should have countered with 69 million and see if it got a chuckle out of Mookie. Then they could have sat down like adults and agreed on 350.

    And during this 6 game winning streak, MADSTORK has not posted once. Interesting!

    And since his contract is up after next year, even if he tanks, it doesn't kill the payroll. However, I STILL WOULD HAVE RATHER NOT PAID SALE AND EOVALDI IF I COULD HAVE KEPT BETTS.
  18. mvp 78
    If he has a 3.5 fWAR season consistently, he's a steal. That injury concern still plays into his future value IMO.
  19. mvp 78
    He was very good in 18, but has slipped since then. He gets blame because he was a part of some imploding pens. Really guilty by association. He may not be the 2018 version again, but he could be a decent middle reliever. However, he's already 33 and there isn't much meat left on the bone.

    Why is Lindor struggling? 1. Increased k rate 2. Career low line drive rate 3. Career high weak contact % 4. -7 runs on pitches in the heart of the plate 5. Career low contact rate on pitches in the zone 6. Career low on contact rate for pitches out of the zone 7. Career high whiff %

    Akil Baddoo was taken after OPSing 683 in High A. Jimenez OPS by month: May 815 June 611 July 752 Aug 827 Sept 896 OPS 538 vs LHP, 805 vs RHP He has the more conventional swing when hitting RH, but is not making good contact. As a lefty, he's slappy and has a high OBP. The question is if that is sustainable or not. This has been a disappointing year for him.

    Use of CERA at all is misusing it. It is a stat with no value. Even you said it fraught with randomness.
  24. mvp 78
    Do you actually go back and read these after the fact?
