What fixation? This is the first time I've mentioned bringing him back.
-
I'd rather have Duran on the roster than Marisnick. There's no upside there with Marisnick.
-
Like who? Who would you bring in instead. I thought JBJ would be a good, cheap PR move and he helps with the defensive issues the Sox have.
-
The recency effect is "they got swept by the Yankees, I hope they play better against the O's." If they then s*** the bed against the O's, it's not "recency effect" it's "the team is NOT playing well. This team has had wild swing going up and down. Right now they are on a downturn until they play better. Could they turn it around? Yes. Will they? Very uncertain. However, there are signs that this team is NOT built to win in the playoffs: rotation question marks, no closer, bad defense.

You asked and I made a case. You don't have to agree with it.
-
I think you're just being obstinate.
-
I asked for proof and wasn't given any. For all OF positions combined, this season was his second best year of UZR/150.
-
Marisnick has not been good this year. I'd rather have JBJ at $4M. Again, JBJ isn't a savior. He'd just help shore up the defense that you've been clamoring for.
-
Diplan was hittable. Krehbiel (from the Rays) looked really good. I liked what I saw from him. Sulser, I didn't watch.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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?
-
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.
-
Yes, the team just seems to be running through the motions.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
