  1. Having good players means you typically have a high payroll. It's the price of doing business if you want to be competitive every year. Teams like the A's and Rays can only compete every few years because of their salary constraints. Handwringing over the Sox payroll doesn't make much sense to me. You can't run this team like it's Milwaukee.
  2. Replacing Kimbrel with a mediocre reliever at $5M will be even more costly.
  3. https://twitter.com/NOTdirtysports/status/1040383078135263232
  4. Unless they have a good fallback plan, they better not let him walk.
  5. Every year, the playoff posts get far more traction and different posters show up. They won't be 6 page bitch fests. They may be 15 page bitch fests, but they won't be 6 page bitch fests between 3-4 posters.
  6. Don't worry, more normal people will start posting on the game threads once the playoffs start. For me, every other post on the game thread is by a user that is on my ignore list so it's not entirely unreadable. May need to add another poster to make reading less frustrating.
  7. Kelly 4/11 - 5/29: 0.42 ERA 1.91 FIP 92.9 LOB% 9.97 k/9 2.08 bb/9 21.2 IP 5/30 on: 6.11 ERA 4.66 FIP 64.5 LOB% 8.66 k/9 5.09 bb/9 35.1 IP Ghastly... This is the worst stretch of his career.
  8. If I'm an opposing hitter, I just wait on Kelly's fastball. It's straight, so if it looks good out of his hand you're just going to let it rip. He has little to no control over his offspeed pitches so there's no reason to ever swing at them.
  9. Basically. I ate my crow last year with Pomeranz and was happier to see him succeed than to see him fail.
  10. Well, he'll get more chances because THEY HAVE A 10.5 GAME LEAD IN THE DIVISION ON SEPT 14TH!!! Cora is going to throw everyone in the bullpen out in high stress situations. He needs to find out who will sink or swim. They have a 10.5 game lead. If they blow a game or two because of Thornburg or Kelly it won't matter. He's right for putting Kelly in these positions over and over. 101 101 101 101 101 101
  11. I'd keep him.
  12. I want Joe to work out because he's a very affable guy, but it's just getting harder and harder watching him pitch.
  13. Too many wet blankets here. Good game. Nice meeting YOTN.
  14. Legally, I’m not allowed to be this close to Devers.
  15. These seats are old. My back is sore....
  16. At the game mojo
  17. Back to back to back
  18. You just got banned by Youk. RIP
  19. Baseball is LOL random.
  20. He has at least 3 more starts to go. He'll be ready.
  21. Swihart is probably as good at 3b as Pearce is at C.
  22. Phillips?
  23. What are you even talking about with this? There is only one guy who can only play 3b (Devers). Everyone else that can play 3b, can also back up at other positions.
