    Whether it was Burdi or Kelly, it didn't really matter. Neither of those guys have the ceiling that Moran showed when he was healthy in MINN.
  2. mvp 78
    Is there another you'd prefer? Toro's lower k numbers in AAA this season than Campbell's?
  3. mvp 78
    Glad he learned the all important lesson "make moves in the offseason too."
  4. mvp 78
    Moran was a decent bullpen arm before getting injured.

    Toro has a 527 OPS since 6/13. They could trade for a guy through the waiver process and get someone better through Aug 31. Probably won't though. I'm not sold that a AAA guy who previously struggled in MLB offensively and defensively (451 OPS in 39 G from 4/30 - 6/18) is the key to turning 1b around. He was near the league lead in errors at the time of demotion (all at 2b) and was ranked as the worst defensive player in MLB by advanced metrics specifically for his IF play.

    Top 10 in hitting (per wRC+) #1 in Baserunning (per BsR) Top 10 defense (OAA/DRS/errors) Well coached fundamental team is helping their mediocre pitching beat expected results (30th in E-F, aka their ERA good and FIP bad).

    Should they vs could they is two different arguments. I was just here for "could."
  9. mvp 78
    They needed to acquire somebody.
  10. mvp 78
    Make good deals at the trade deadline and you can get hot? What a surprise!
  11. mvp 78
    I don't want Toro on the roster and have said so many times. I also don't want Campbell on the roster because I want him working on his defense and really spending time learning what makes his hitting work while in AAA. They can't rush him back to MLB. I'd rather keep him down until '26.

    Sweeper is just what they are calling a slower slider TBF if a guy has two velo bands for a slider. According to AI, Chapman throws a 105.1 mph curveball! 🤖🔫 I cursory search found a youtube video of Joe Kelly throwing a 90 mph curveball. It's possible.

    Pedro should have won at least one of those games...

    SD is a 100 wRC+ team. They are perfectly average. Hard to call them weak. I would not be surprised if Gio starts to fall back to earth. I'm hopeful that Bello can still pitch well down the stretch.
  15. mvp 78
    Campbell: 36.1% backwards K Toro: 23.1% backwards K Campbell is MORE likely to watch a third strike go by. 🫠

    O'Hearn AND Laureano got Padres 6, 8, 16th prospects and 3 other prospects. Hard to say what O'Hearn gets on his own. Padres have a bad farm system after the very top so those numbers could be knocked down for a stronger system like the Sox. Josh Naylor got the Mariners 13 and 16th ranked prospects. Mariners have a very strong farm system.

    Campbell has a higher k rate in AAA than Toro has in MLB. You think Campbell would have been LESS likely to k in that PA though?

    Team leader in bunt hits by year: '24 Wong - 4 '23 McGuire/Reyes - 2 '22 Duran - 2 '21 4 players had 1 '20 Beni/JBJ - 1 '19 Marco Hernandez - 2 '18 Brock Holt - 2 '17 Leon - 3 '13 Victorino - 7 '07 Lugo - 9 '04 5 players had 1 '99 Offerman - 3 '88 Barrett/Burks - 3 (1st year with info on bref)

    Feel good about tonight. Relying on May and Buehler to take a series doesn't give me a wonderful feeling, but baseball is weird sometimes. Sox have been bad on the road so a 2-4 road trip wouldn't be entirely shocking here. 3-3 would be better!
  20. mvp 78
    Hamilton doesn't know how to for sure.
  21. mvp 78
    Sox are 6-3 in extras at home. I think there's just an advantage for the home team with the new dumb rules. They are 3-3 in 9th inning walkoffs.
  22. mvp 78
    25 - most errors in MLB 24 - 2nd most errors in MLB 23 - 2nd most errors in MLB 22 - 14th most errors in MLB 21 - 2nd most errors in MLB 20 - 3rd most errors in MLB 20-25: most errors in MLB by 43! (teams behind them MIA, WSH, CHW the real garbage teams) Sugarcoat it all you want, but the errors do matter. They need to clean it up if they want to have a deep run in the playoffs. Their overall DRS/OAA numbers are carried by a select few players and playing one of them out of position is completely stupid. It takes them from a top 5 DRS team to a middle of the pack DRS team.

    He reached on a force out or stole 3b? Weird!
  24. mvp 78
    I don't know what he was trying to do there. After years of wanting Bloom to make some moves, Breslow went out and made a horrific one right off the bat. A lot of us were desperate to root for him at that point.
  25. mvp 78
    Letting Derek Lowe leave was dumb though! I'm not going to get involved with the 20/20 hindsight stuff and whatever.
