    He wasn't going to be on the Red Sox unless they gave up Roman, Tolle, Early and Abreu.
  2. mvp 78
    Career: 61 tOPS+, best against any team with more than 6 GS (Marlins, Rockies and Pirates had lower tOPS+ in small sample sizes) 2.35 ERA
  3. mvp 78
    Masa over Eaton or Refsnyder IMO.
  4. mvp 78
    Unless he has a big lead or is cruising, probably need to pull him after 5. You got rested arms in the pen, use them.
  5. mvp 78
    He's struggled down the stretch, but is a certifiable Yankee Killer. We'll see how tonight goes.
  6. mvp 78
    Overall, he's a very good manager. We just see the moves that don't work out because we watch 162 games every year. Most of the other managers are far worse.
  7. mvp 78
    I'm not sure he put the best lineup out there tonight. Fried has a reverse split and Cora just said "we're going with righties because that's what we always do" even though Masa has been hitting the ball really well lately. Needed a bullpen meltdown (and Masa) to win the game.
  8. mvp 78
    I'm fine with the middle relief. Just bring them in for clean innings. Don't do the "let Bello put a or two runner on" gimmick. They have one of the best bullpens in the league. Just go to them early and secure a win if up.
  9. mvp 78
    Game 1 is the 15th day. He's not eligible until Game 2, I believe.
  10. mvp 78
    Pitching wins championships. See how Bello holds up tomorrow.
  11. mvp 78
    Has that happened before? Seems unlikely?
  12. mvp 78
    Will most likely miss all of October per Cora. 🎈
  13. mvp 78
    "Rolled with righties (and trying to ignore Masa) all year"

    The players that chase more than Rafaela:
  17. mvp 78
    Rafaela: 70.6 strike%, 58.9 pitches swung at%, 48.9 1st pitch swing% Leads BOS and NYY for all batters above 50 PA. He's just up there swinging. He's not a high k rate guy, he's a high volume swing guy, which causes him to chase pitches outside the zone more than almost everyone else in baseball (2nd percentile). Since he chases bad pitches, he's induces into a lot of weak contact. If he gets his pitch, it can go a long way.
  18. mvp 78
    Kelly has much higher upside and has seemed to pitch well lately. I know he's a rollercoaster, but he had some great performances last season against the Yankees.
  19. mvp 78
    Murphy wouldn't be available again until WS. Not a guy who is going to swing a playoff series TBH.
  20. mvp 78
    '23 was his best season when the strike out looking % was down to 27%. All other seasons were 10 points higher. If he wants to be productive, he needs to keep that rate down.
  21. mvp 78
    The problem with Casas is that he is his inability to protect the plate or be aggressive with 2 strikes. He carried a 37% strike out looking, when league average is 23.5%. Other Sox hitters above 30 were Campbell, Sogard, Eaton and Sabol (not exactly a wrecking crew). His overall strike looking % was only 21.2% which means he was more likely to watch a called third strike than any other pitch.
  22. mvp 78
    Local viewership was up 44% this year for the Red Sox per the Sports Business Journal.
  23. mvp 78
  24. mvp 78
    He practiced on the field yesterday with the team. Don't know how limited he was/is.
  25. mvp 78
    You got the wrong ballpark for Casas if this is the target. Fenway is 24th for LHB HR's. Worse than SD and SEA. It's a park made for 2b's. Head and shoulders #1 for LHB.
