    Until he can take over at 1b, it's a little bit of square peg in a round hole. Otherwise, his pickup up is kind of superfluous.
  2. mvp 78
    3 of the 4 hits he gave up last night averaged 46 ft. They combined for a -4 launch angle.

    What did his previous outing vs Texas look like? strikeout strikeout strikeout

    On the HE CAN NO LONGER PUT BATTERS AWAY argument K/9 2021 APR 16.07 MAY 14.40 JUN 14.73 JUL 7.88 AUG 16.88 BB/9 2021 APR 1.93 MAY 1.80 JUN 3.27 JUL 2.25 AUG 5.06 BABIP APR 190 MAY 313 JUN 364 JUL 167 AUG 571 It's not that he can't put hitters away. He's striking out guys at a higher clip now. The problem is that he's putting too many runners on via BB and is giving up a lot of hard contact. His AUG WHIP of 2.44 is twice as high as any other month this year. Part of it is due to just baseball lol random and that his numbers are now trending back to career norms. This year, he had career highs in XBA, XSLG, XWOBA, K%, BB%, XERA. He wasn't going to keep up that pace. If he's can start locating his curveball a bit better again, he'll turn it around. Saying "Barnes has been lousy this summer" is just false. He's been great. He's just sucked since August 1.

    My issue with Schwarber was not having him for 2 weeks while the team was floundering.

    So they demote Duran then?

    @SPChrisHatfield Very curious who the countermove for Houck coming back up will be today. Would not be surprised if it's Duran. He's started just 2 of the last 7 and has really struggled. Not sure having him as 4th (5th?) OF is the right move for him right now. They wouldn't DFA Shaw after he hit the walk off. Would they? Does sending Duran back to the launching pad hurt his development? Maybe just option Austin Davis to AAA?

    If Cora put Richards in that situation and he blew it, Richards would never be able to pitch at Fenway again. I think Sox have learned to live with the Barnes roller coaster. However, I think they are OUT on Richards. I don't think he needs to get any high leverage spots right now.

    Doubles machine Edinson Paulino now has a 1086 OPS for FCL.

    @SoxNotes Red Sox starters have a 3.11 ERA in their last 15 games, their lowest mark over any 15-game span this season. During that time, Nathan Eovaldi and Chris Sale have combined for a 1.55 ERA with 36 strikeouts and 3 walks. This is what happens when you move Perez and Richards out of the rotation.

    Yes, then the Yankees and Cardinals have benefitted the most. Now if the Sox could only play the Phillies every year rather than every other year...

    @alexspeier Here’s more on the players-only meeting that, according to Alex Verdugo, had the Red Sox pulling for each other like Little Leaguers on Monday We're now in the players-only meetings time of year.

    Well in terms of "profit" I'd go with the clear favorite: Detroit vs Pittsburgh.
  15. mvp 78
    I don't care about such trivialities.
  16. mvp 78
    There is a Yankees forum on here you can add this to.

    Houck vs Jax

    Yankees vs Mets Cardinals vs Royals Red Sox have also been able to beat up on the Phillies over the years. The Sox split their rivalry between the Braves and the Phillies in even and odd years. The Jays face the Braves in odd years and Phillies in even years. Astros/Rockies/DBags/Rangers share their rivalries in a similar manner.

    VA hasn’t posted in years. Kimmi refuses to come on the gamethreads. This is my safespace.

    You can all suck my f***ing lizard.

    Hello me, meet the real me. @JMastrodonato Matt Barnes has a 7.84 ERA with five saves, two blown saves and three losses since the Red Sox signed him to a two-year contract extension on July 11.
  25. mvp 78
    Very good reliever... at blowing saves. f***.
