  1. Well, even the dumbest of managerial moves only affects the outcome .01% of the time. He also only has 12 holds out of those 22 times.
  2. If they are using their 3 best relievers? Why is Barnes pitching the 8th?
  3. He needs to check out the TB12 sport drink that fights concussions.
  4. Holt may never play again. Waiting on him is foolish.
  5. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/2466501// Most people saw promise, not playoffs.
  6. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/TBR/2008.shtml Hard to see that team as a WS contender going into that year.
  7. Working his way back from Tommy John surgery, Smith had hoped to begin a rehab assignment on Sunday, but he came down with a sore shoulder last week. It doesn't sound like a big setback, but it's unclear when he'll be game-ready. "When we sent Carson back (to Boston), we’re still in that five-day period where we’re going to let things settle down and continue to go through rehab and strengthening," Red Sox manager John Farrell said Monday.

  8. I don't think Maddon is a great in game manager. He always gets his guys ready to play though. Rays always seemed to have a better record than they should have had and the Cubs smashed a 100 year old curse without issue.
  9. Kelly should be the 8th inning guy. 7th inning can be a whatever guy is pitching well at the time. I just hope Carson Smith can contribute at some point.
  10. @alexspeier As @SPChrisHatfield and @IanCundall note, Devers and Chavis had a timeshare at 3B in Greenville in '15. Both developed defensively during it Chavis is still getting over elbow inflammation which is causing him to be a part time DH. Maybe Chavis sees some time in LF? My guess is Chavis is 3B/DH this year and works on OF in the offseason. His glove is putrid right now.
  11. Hanley has a pretty lengthy injury history. Him bulking up was the worst thing he could do to his career.
  12. Yeah, I don't agree that there is a formula that Farrell uses. Last year, he really shied away from using Kimbrel in more than one inning. This year, he has no problem doing it. Sometimes he's aggressive in pinch hitting during the 6th inning, other times he just leaves the starters in. I think he manages by feel of the game rather than going off script. The only thing you can consistently call Farrell out on is how horribly his teams run the bases.
  13. Wrong. Terry Francona is a great manager. Probably top 3? (Bochy, Maddon, Tito)
  14. I bet Devers stays until the AA AS Game too then gets promoted to AAA. I'd rather they just bring him up this afternoon though.
  15. @SPChrisHatfield Confirmed: Chavis, De La Guerra promoted to Portland
  16. Trade high end prospects for Sales not for Pomeranzes.
  17. Shoulder is still bothering him.
  18. Petered out after 6 1/3. Typical.
  19. In his previous 26 starts with the Sox, he's only gone a full 7 innings twice.
  20. Pom at 71 through 5. Could he go a full 7 innings?
  21. https://theringer.com/2017-mlb-home-run-spike-juiced-ball-testing-reveal-155cd21108bc Did you read ^
  22. At least Pom is only at 40 pitches. He may get to the 7th even.
