    @alexspeier Swihart ability to block balls in the dirt this week has been drastically better than it was in 2015-16. In '15, Red Sox thought he was reluctant to call pitches that were down because of blocking issues. Not so now.

    Guys similar to Kimbrel's level are available every offseason. Ben never made a move there. Not convinced he'd do one for Sale.
  3. mvp 78
    That's who I was referencing.

    I'd rather have Sale and Kimbrel. Beni and Devers are both pretty good young stars IMO. The heart of the ballclub hasn't gone past their arb years. A stocked system isn't required.

    It seems to me that DD really maximized the value of a lot of the guys he traded. Good on him.
  6. mvp 78
    In this case, his good seasons aren't that far back in the rear view mirror.
  7. mvp 78
    Blast him to the sun.

    They put up 5 runs in 2 innings on Wednesday.

    Why'd you have to interrupt Dalas' post streak? I'm not sure I've seen a six pack like that before, but I was hoping he'd make it a case.

    https://deadspin.com/mariners-demand-180-million-in-public-funds-or-they-wo-1827920723 The Mariners’ ballpark cost $517 million in 1999 dollars and was paid for mostly with public money. The Mariners do pay rent, but it’s a fraction of what they’re asking for: $55 million in rent payments over the 25-year lease, vs. the $180 million they’re demanding. Majority owner John Stanton is a billionaire. Glad to not be a Mariner's fan. The public has been trending away from these subsidized stadiums for good reason.

    I'm not sure it can be argued that Ben could put together a competent starting rotation. Ben had the luxury to trade whoever, he just didn't want to. There's no reason to expect him to not hoard prospects. I don't see him trading for Sale or Kimbrel. Without them, they probably don't make the playoffs. Maybe Ben even signs a few more Pablos and Hanleys to join in the decimation of the cap.

    What's their record again?
  13. mvp 78
    Why? The team came in last place 3 out of the 4 years he was at the helm?
  14. mvp 78
    Sale vs Lynn

    The manager and medical staff are easy targets. Sox lose? Blame the manager. Sox hit the DL? Blame the medical staff.

    This pen had a great run at the start of the season. If Kelly can get back into gear, running Hembree/Kelly/Barnes/Kimbrel out there turns the game into a 5 inning game.

    Here’s one: https://www.google.com/amp/s/spreadsheetsolving.com/little-league/amp/

    Sorry, I think that could be the High School number. Will check tomorrow.

    Maybe Pom is better than Johnson?
  20. mvp 78
    I think Robby Scott is a good LOOGY and doesn't cost anything.

    Sports parents are often s***** to begin with. Parents like to live vicariously through their children. It's dumb. Only 1 out of about 7,000 little leaguers ever play in MLB.

    Ok, but his career bullpen numbers are far below average... Bad even.
  23. mvp 78
    Betts RF, Benintendi LF, Martinez DH, Bogaerts SS, Pearce 1B, Devers 3B, Swihart C, Holt 2B, Bradley Jr. CF, Johnson LHP

    From MLBTR: Also from Fenech’s piece, he reports that a Red Sox executive was recently in attendance to see Francisco Liriano in action, and notes that Liriano could be a fit as a left-hander out of Boston’s bullpen. The Sox are currently going with eight right-handed relievers, with southpaws Bobby Poyner, Robby Scott, and Williams Jerez down at Triple-A, all of whom are far less experienced than a veteran arm like Liriano. While Liriano has struggled overall as a starting pitcher for the Tigers this year, he has dominated left-handed hitters and would fit as a LOOGY in a return to relief work. Liriano's career numbers as a reliever are worse than as a starter. Not sure this is a good fit.

    This is true.
