  1. Thanks Ben!
  2. And having a day off afterwards certainly helped.
  3. As well as how much time it takes for a reliever to get warmed up.
  4. http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/2017/05/08/craig-kimbrel-has-been-simply-overpowering-far/QAi3nn2KoIHwb8PXwHAp8M/story.html More Kimbrel goodness.
  5. http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/batting/sort/homeRuns/order/true Sox are now tied for second to last place. OPS is 8th though. That's good enough for me.
  6. https://www.outsidepitchmlb.com/boston-red-sox-elite-craig-kimbrel/68736 And people still while about him.
  7. @PeteAbe Re: Devers being named EL Player of the Week: Dave Dombrowski was in Portland this weekend watching him. Boioioioioing...
  8. In less than half a season, he went 288/15/54. It was his best defensive year too. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=7002&position=3B
  9. Selsky is the only OF on the 40 man roster not currently playing in Boston. The other two starters at Pawtucket are Castillo (not being promoted in a 1,000,000 years) and Aneury Tavarez. Tavarez was the guy the O's picked in the Rule V draft but had to return. He was mashing AA pitching as a 25 year old. He has decent speed, but the Sox basically refuse to play him in CF. He's only had 4 starts in Pawtucket. He went 5 for 8 in his first 2 games with 2 HRs. He's been 0 for 10 ever since. In order for him to be called up, he'd have to really start mashing. He'd be an interesting call up, but if they aren't interested in playing him in CF, his value is diminished.
  10. If you're moving on from JBJ, who are your starting OFers? Young can mash LHP, but who hits against RHP?
  11. I don't care how it gets done. Results matter to me. 7th in BAA. 3rd in Runs. 3rd in ERA. 5th in Saves. 7th in BBs (lowest). 5th in Losses (lowest). Low batting average + not giving up walks + not blowing games = pretty good bullpen.
  12. 2012 - 2014 was the WMB experiment. I'm not sure many people were complaining about 3b in 2012. In 2015 they signed Pablo. Pablo failed. Shaw played over 100 games in 2016 and was a 2 WAR player. If it wasn't for the Pablo contract, I believe they would have found a professional 3b to play until Devers is ready. Tough to sign a FA 3b when you already have Sandoval on the roster.
  13. And you burn through the pen by midseason. Not the best way to manage a ball club.
  14. Shaw's defense is still s*****. He's on a hot streak and will soon cool off. http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=11982&position=1B/3B He's a worse fielder than what we've thrown out there recently.
  15. OH NO! ONE BAD DAY! https://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/pitching/split/128 This pen is one of the 5 best in all of baseball. Complaining about it seems silly to me.
  16. I'm not sure what his trade value is. Everyone has a price.
  17. That would have bounced off Mookie's head.
  18. Devers, why should you be playing 3b in Boston? CAUSE I KNOW I CAN TREAT YOU BETTER
  19. How about: IF THE INFIELD FLY RULE IS NOT CALLED, RUN IF THE BALL HITS THE GROUND. Definitely don't meander around and get tagged out. Definitely don't stand directly on 1b like a dope. Don't fail to run out the hit to 1b.
  20. C'mon Mookie... 3b isn't the only defensive hole.
  21. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/xander-bogaerts-is-a-very-weird-good-player/ Here's an interesting read from the Tribune about Bogey's power outage. SEE, I DON'T JUST PICK ON PEDROIA!
  22. Farrell teams never run the bases well. I'm not sure Butterfield has done a very good job prepping the guys lately. Maybe his offseason surgery is taking a toll? I give a huge amount of blame to Amaro at 1st for Pedroia standing on the bag and JBJ not running through it on that triple play. I'd get rid of those three guys for sure.
  23. @PawSox Red Sox recall INF Deven Marrero from the #PawSox and option Brandon Workman to Pawtucket. #PawSox add INF Jose Rosario from Portland Looks like Spud is getting his wish!
