  1. Quantrill Last 10: 1.77 ERA, 3.67 FIP, 6.1 inning av, 88.3 LOB%. He gives up contact. Need to string together some hits. His BABIP with men in scoring position is .195. Time to end his lucky streak. WHIP Home: 1.09 WHIP Away: 1.40 xFIP Away 5.19
  2. There is no empirical evidence that calling up a player and having them struggle hurts their long term success.
  3. How about $1.5M to Marisinick instead of $3M to Marwin?
  4. Paplebon: 2 inherited runners, 2 inherited runners scored
  5. There is NO WAY that option gets picked up and I want him closing from here on out.
  6. The 1978 game was most likely on when I was in the room and while every other Sox fan was s***ing their pants that day, at least I had a diaper on.
  7. 1986 > 2003 > Sept 2011 > Aug 2021 > 2008 ALCS (which I barely even remember)
  8. Losing game 3 in 2004 ALCS was the best thing to happen to my psyche in that playoffs.
  9. It made up for 2003 for sure. At least 1986 game me a story that my kids love to hear (my dad waking me up to tell me that the Sox are going to win the WS and then me witnessing the Gedman/Stanley mix up and disaster that followed).
  10. It was a question many of us asked this offseason. The OF plan on day 1 was not a good one.
  11. Hard to compare a guy who is still in their arbitration years.
  12. IDK. Ottavino scares the s*** out of me whenever he's on the mound.
  13. Don't speak that into existence.
  14. "Hey Pedro, I know you're one of the most competitive people in the world. Do you think you can get the next few guys out? Oh, good!"
  15. Richards has the second most saves for the Sox since August 1. 2 saves, 1 hold, 0 blown saves.
  16. He's the closer and makes the right amount of money for that position.
  17. I agree, but it's clear that a bigger part of postseason success is due to the starting rotation. If they go cheaper on DH and spend on the rotation, I think you have a better chance of getting to the playoffs. I think you still need some big bats, but it doesn't have to be the traditional DH only types. If payroll isn't a consideration (like in the early Ortiz years and early JD years) then you have the luxury to go nuts at DH. Seems like the purse strings are a little tighter now.
  18. Actually, you WERE wrong. The proof is in the pudding. At the end of the night you were crying in your beer and not dancing in the streets.
  19. Espinal went 1-2-3 in his first inning. Giving up a double to Nelson Cruz and a single to the raging hot Wander Franco isn't the end of the world. He probably deserves a longer look.
  20. Verdugo? A few. He's not very good either. Kiké rarely if ever. He's actually pretty good out there. And yes, Renfroe's range leaves something to be desired. He's got a cannon, but he's not very athletic in RF.
  21. Part time LF? He was better when he was younger (2015-2018). He's still only 28, but plays the field like he's closer to mid 30's.
