He's working on it. Maybe.
-
My bookie is threatening to bust my kneecaps now.
-
Plawecki needs more AB's.
-
Odor: 2 for 2 JD/Schwarb: 0 for 4, 4 k's

Forkballs are splitters. Sinkers are more likely to move horizontally than a splitter.
-
Don't tell anyone I said this, but I have no idea what the difference is between a split finger and a sinker. And are fork balls still a thing?

@alexspeier Since the beginning of July, No. 9 hitters are hitting .275/.338/.443 against Red Sox pitchers. League average No. 9 hitters (non-pitcher variety) are posting a .220/.293/.354 line. Figuring out how to blame this on UZR.

I deleted because my numbers were wrong. The Sox really aren't driving up that pitch count though.
-
Runs and then a runner thrown out. Good.
-
After some horrible Sox AB's, Kiké has a good one.
-
That's what I've been saying.

The geographic pods within each division are important for scheduling reasons: These will be the most frequent matchups on the schedule. The winner of each "pod" will get a playoff spot, unless that team is the overall division winner, in which case the next-best team in the pod gets to go. The driving force behind all this is regionalization. Build those rivalries, starting in the minors, which have already become more geographically aligned and presumably will only become more so over time. You don't ignore the national aspect, but baseball is already local to a significant degree. The structure of the sport ought to reflect that. -- Bradford Doolittle Shut the f*** up Bradford. Don't make this MORE confusing than it already is.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/32008079/pitch-clocks-realignment-end-blackouts-mlb-look-were-designing-now 1. Shortened Season - reduce season by a month. Fine. 2. Expand and Realign by geography - Eastern League, Western League, 2 divisions each. No. 3. Pitchclock. Yes. 4. Robo Umps. Yes. 5. End Blackouts. Yes. 6. Allow Trading Picks. Fine. 7. Pay MiLB Living Wage. Yes. 8. New Commissioner that Cares About Game not Owners. Yes.

Needs to adjust the way Devers did earlier this season against the heat.
-
Maybe it's a coaching problem?
-
@redsoxpayroll FWIW, Vazquez's team option next year is currently for $7MM. It goes up to $8MM with another 123 PAs this season. It'll be a race. Down to the wire, especially with more Plawecki ABs.

Prospects - A player will generally graduate from prospect status once he exhausts his MLB "rookie" status." Rookie status is exhausted once a player: (1) has more than 130 at-bats in the majors; (2) has pitched more than 50 innings in the majors; (3) has been on an active major league roster for more than 45 days (not including September call-ups). Duran will graduate in 2 weeks.

Loving these HUGE sample sizes...

Logging in to type "Just Ignore All CERA Threads."

Funny thing is overall he's objectively better than Plawecki at CERA. It's only when moon hand picks data points that Vaz looks worse than Plawecki. Funny.

Not this s*** again...

@ChrisCotillo Matt Andriese's time with the Red Sox is done, as the club designated him for assignment. Josh Taylor activated from the COVID-19 IL.
-
Yes, Cordero played once against BAL. Duran played twice against BAL. We have solved the mystery.

I'm not sure anyone has said "plus" or "suddenly."
