  1. I see somebody else is now being paid by the Arthur Rhodes lobby... Shame.
  2. Game logs shmame logs.
  3. Then why are the all time leaders in blown saves garbage players like Richard Gossage, L. Arthur Smith, Howard Sutter and Roland Fingers?
  4. Absolutely bodied.
  5. Yes, the overall experience could be very similar though.
  6. And before anyone gets too worked up over blown saves, note that Baseball Reference doesn't track blown saves, but does track this: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/mgr_overturn_count_career.shtml
  7. Where does Ottavino rank in blown saves over that time period? Hint: it's the same as Barnes.
  8. That's why I put it at 50/50 that either one is better. They are about the same pitcher going into this season. Of course, we'll have much more information on these guys going into 2022. Right now, there's just too many questions on both.
  9. @jcmccaffrey -Rodriguez is scheduled to pitch five innings tomorrow and Bogaerts is scheduled to play his first game at shortstop -Danny Santana is still in the hospital with the foot infection and it's going to be a while before he's ready to go -Cora confirms they'll use a five-man rotation
  10. Sawamura has a reputation of being wild. He's probably most similar to Joe Kelly in that regards (except he has better movement).
  11. I think most casual Sox fans are underwhelmed by his signing just because it's been so long since he was a top end guy. Kluber would have been the more interesting signing to casual fans. There's a 50/50 chance that he's better than Kluber this year.
  12. They were 17th in pen ERA and 19th in WHIP in 2019. I think they'll be around there again this season. It's not that much of a stretch to say they could be "average" (13th - 17th in MLB).
  13. Richards can pitch. If he is healthy, he’ll be fine.
  14. They are really going with Kiké hitting leadoff. Red Sox at Twins (8 inn.): Hernández CF, Gonzalez SS, Martinez LF, Devers 3B, Arroyo 2B, Chavis 1B, Plawecki C, Duran DH, Gettys RF, Eovaldi P
  15. The Red Sox have won their last 4 games. 3/10 vs. ATL (W) – Houck 3.0 IP, 0 R, 1 H 3/11 at MIN (W) – Rodriguez 4.0 IP, 1 R, 4 H 3/12 vs. TB (W) – Richards 4.0 IP, 0 R, 1 H 3/13 vs. ATL (W) – Pérez 4.0 IP, 0 R, 2 H
  16. Where’d the V go?
  17. One of Brockton’s finest. I remember watching his fights with my dad back in the 80’s.
  18. @alexspeier Bogaerts will DH again tomorrow. Sox still determining when he’ll play shortstop.
  19. Tino OPS'd 830 in 1996. They probably still win with Don instead of Tino because Tino was garbage that postseason.
  20. Difference is that Ellsbury played OF in college. Duran played IF in college and it's taking him a bit to get acclimated to a new position.
  21. I'm not worried about Richards. Houck and Sawamura are still big question marks.
  22. The Rays having a player named Betts feels like a personal attack.
  23. How about that Sawamura chap though?
  24. @IanMBrowne Xander Bogaerts, "I will be completely ready" for Opening Day. I'm ready right now."
