  1. No, it'd be more likely to exacerbate his struggles.
  2. Morton's K rate plummeted this year and his HR allowed rate is his highest in 10 years. His FB velocity is 3 mph lower than it was 2 years ago. Morton is trending towards done
  3. Lost control aka had no starting pitching left in September.
  4. Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said Thursday that the team is hoping Eduardo Rodriguez (heart) will be cleared for a "normal-ish offseason strength program." Rodriguez has been out all year after he developed a heart condition called myocarditis following a battle with COVID-19, but he is back in Boston now and undergoing tests to determine the next step in the rehab process. This situation will obviously be slow-played, and there might not be a clear picture about the 27-year-old left-hander's availability for 2021 until we get closer to next spring. Workload could be an issue even if he is determined to be fully healthy, as E-Rod threw zero innings in 2020 after logging 203 1/3 innings in 2019. You and me both, Ronald.
  5. Manfred originally said this in case the season was cancelled at some point or as a punishment if some teams were intentionally tanking. If he decides to just go forward with it anyway, it'd be pretty s*****.
  6. Lester is getting that 10M buyout this offseason. I believe he still has value as a 4/5 guy who can eat innings. It'd be cool of the Sox to bring him back for one more year, but Lester may just want to go home.
  7. No more commercials pleez
  8. #RedSox Lineup 09/16/20 1. Alex Verdugo CF 2. Rafael Devers 3B 3. Xander Bogaerts SS 4. J.D. Martinez DH 5. Christian Vazquez C 6. Yairo Munoz RF 7. Bobby Dalbec 1B 8. Michael Chavis LF 9. Christian Arroyo 2B Starting Pitcher : Mike Kickham
  9. @ChrisCotillo MLB released the 2021 spring training schedule. Let's hope it goes as planned. Red Sox open up vs. Northeastern on Feb. 26, start Grapefruit League play vs. Pirates the next day. Two games vs. Yankees (3/3, 3/10) and a home-and-home against the Braves in FL before Opening Day.
  10. Or not.
  11. @alexspeier Nick Pivetta is pitching in Pawtucket today - which essentially ensures that he won’t be promoted until next week, thus pushing back his eligibility for free agency to 2024
  12. The rating for Houck is depressed as they don't believe he's a starter. They believe Ward/Mata/Song/Groome all have a better potential to stick as a starter. Prior to this year, that definitely seemed to be the case. But I'm sure you know much more about the prospects than those guys do.
  13. I like the Dodgers version of the Rays for sure.
  14. I know people on here pan Devers' defense, but when he made that really great play at 3B the Marlins announcers were saying "we seen great plays like this from Devers before."
  15. That's why he's working on a splitter.
  16. Does this need its own thread though? Especially one with such a weak title?
  17. Tanner Houck: “Right now, I’m kind of high on life. That win was truly amazing.”
  18. Tanner Houck gives the Red Sox best debut by a starting pitcher since Eduardo Rodriguez (7 2/3 shutout innings) on May 28, 2015.

  20. Houck talking about his slider grip: https://twitter.com/pitchingninja/status/1306008230783578113?s=21
  21. Pitching Ninja shoutout: https://twitter.com/pitchingninja/status/1306008100844048395?s=21 Tanner Houck, Wicked 85mph Back Foot Slider...and Sword.
  22. Mattingly (on Houck still): fastball always running in, breaking ball gets at you
  23. Mattingly: Marlins didn’t see the breaking ball good, Houck was effectively wild
  24. High praise for Houck from Marlins announcers.
  25. OH s***, I missed one. I will now fall on my petard.
