@SPChrisHatfield This was supposed to be Thaddeus Ward's day, but he's been placed on the IL. The top 4 pitchers in the #SP60 entering spring training (Mata, Houck, Ward, Seabold) are all currently on the IL.

2021 MLB draft
mvp 78 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
@jimcallisMLB I'll use this as an opportunity to plug @JonathanMayo's mock draft, which will be out tonight. As of now, I think Mayer & Lawlar go in the top 3, leaving the @RedSox looking at some combination of the Vandy RHP & Davis at 4. My best guess w/7 weeks to go is Davis. #DraftTop200 If they have the choice of either Leiter/Rocker or Davis, it'd be gutsy to take Davis IMO. They better hit on it. -
So far, he has 3 appearances with 3 IP, 1 H, 1ER, 3 BB, 5 K. Unless he makes a dramatic turn around, he's only getting called up if there's an injury.
-
I posted elsewhere that he has dealt with bad luck and bad pitch mix. If he stops throwing his slider anywhere near the zone, he'll be fine.
-
Houck said he feels great. No idea.
-
Hermann is 33 years old.

Per statcast, his cutter and slider don't break enough anymore so he's leaving them over the heart of the plate. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/eduardo-rodriguez-593958?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb The slider seems to be just a "show me" pitch, but it's getting wacked around whenever he tosses it. Dropping the slider and sticking with a FB, Cutter, Change, Sinker mix should be enough. The slider should only be used if he's going to throw it out of the zone.
-
Anyway, ERod has a 4.70 ERA, but a 3.27 FIP. He's been unlucky. His walk rate has been cut in half. His velo is a little down, but not dramatically. The only issue I'm seeing is that his slider and cutter has been worse this year, but he's throwing those two pitches more. Needs to fix his pitch mix maybe?
-
He's definitely not helping his FA $$$'s any.
-
Haven't seen any reports about his D.
-
He's not even ready to do a rehab start yet.
-
@ChrisCotillo Red Sox will be activating Kiké Hernández from the injured list before tonight's game, in case there was any doubt.

@FoolishBB Hitter fWAR since 2019 1) Mike Trout 13.5 fWAR 2) Xander Bogaerts 11.0 fWAR 3) Mookie Betts 10.8 fWAR 4) Alex Bregman 10.7 fWAR 5) Marcus Semien 10.3 fWAR

Sox Pitching: All - 4th fWAR Starters - 5th fWAR Relievers - 3rd fWAR Sox Batting: 4th in fWAR Seems kinda good so far?
-
Broken clock yada yada yada...
-
Red Sox offense is struggling so hard right now they didn't even put a ball in play last night. Embarrassing.
-
I agree that there are still question marks around him.
-
It's fine. If you want to you can keep on chooglin'.
-
It's hard to say what he really is. I think we have our answer on what DHern is atm.
-
@IanMBrowne At 10 a.m, you can order Red Sox tickets for the May 29 and 30 games against the Marlins, which will be the first full capacity eligible games at Fenway since 2019. Tickets will be sold on http://redsox.com.

He runs "unique" routes to flyballs.
-
I think COVID played a significant role in Taylor's struggles. He was productive in 2019. Sucked after coming back from COVID in 2020 and sucked his first few outings in 2021. He seems to be better now.
-
Kiké for Cordero. OF would be Verdugo LF, Kiké CF, Renfroe RF
-
If it goes poorly, I either get to switch the channel or head to bed early.
-
What I'd do: Kiké activated - Send Cordero down Arroyo activated - Send Arauz down DFA Brice - Call up Santana
