    It's similar to how I feel about Campbell, they are just working on too much stuff with him for a callup to make sense. Let the player get the kinks worked out, find a success and comfort with the new approach, then call them up. When you have a high ceiling guy, it doesn't make sense to throw them back into the fire when you are in the middle of trying to fix them.

    The bb's are the bad results. The ERA is luck. It's not a good result IMO. It's clear they are still working on things and he's not able to locate the way he needs to. That bb rate would be unacceptable in MLB. If he has a 6 bb/9 now, it'd probably go to 7 in MLB. That's Darwinzon Hernandez level. Yikes! I just think there are other arms down there that they aren't trying to tweak that could get called up instead even just for bullpen help (Tolle, Sandlin, Criswell and maybe even Rule 5 eligible Uberstine/Hoppe). Harrison has a great ceiling, but I want them to take the time to get this tweaking right and make sure his repertoire is fully formed before coming up. That's most likely not going to be until next year.

    I think they'd start May over Buehler TBH. Buehler would either go to the pen or be left off the roster. Buehler's last 10 starts: 50.1 IP 5.90 ERA 6.71 FIP worst in MLB (SP) over that timeframe 32 BB 55 H 10 HR 1.73 WHIP 1.79 HR/9 5.73 BB/9 (Kyle Harrison-esque) - worst in MLB (SP) over that timeframe -0.7 fWAR worst in MLB (SP) over that timeframe

    The crazy amounts of blowouts skew the Pythagoras win total. I'm not the biggest fan of that model to begin with. I think it needs to have some guardrails built in.

    Over that stretch above he gave up 19 bb's. That's a 6.04 bb/9. Who cares about the ERA? You think the hitters a level higher are going to walk LESS? He won't be getting out of those jams against more advanced hitters. You can't simply look at earned runs and say "oh, this guy is definitely ready now."

    Sox are very good at home and not great on the road. Going 2-4 on this tough road trip isn't the end of the world. I said at the start of the HOU series that a sweep wouldn't change my mind about this team. The rest of the schedule looks very manageable. The next few series are against some teams they should take care of business against: MIA/BAL/NY/BAL/PIT. They can basically end this pathetic Yankees season next weekend with a 4 game sweep.

    Everyone has been a little snippy lately even though the Sox are currently holding a WC spot in the middle of AUG for the first time in several years. 🤐

    They are still tweaking his arsenal and I'm not sure he's ready for a callup. The WOO numbers don't look very good. His bb/9 is up to 5.23. His k/9 is a career low 9.58. I'd rather they continue to work with him for the remainder of the year and see how he looks in ST.

    30 pitches, 15 strikes yay

    Nestor Cortes

    Last meal was probably a 30 rack and a pack of smokes.
  12. mvp 78
    Roman leading off? But what about his 5.6 Launch Angle?
  13. mvp 78
    Bring David Hamilton back.
  14. mvp 78
    He's not impacting the ball more though? His EV's are still down.
  15. mvp 78
    Mariners vs Padres (picked out of a hat today)
  16. mvp 78
    Sorry for leaving Canada out of the discussion. Is Robert Pickton's farm still up and running? 🐖
  17. mvp 78
    Aileen Wournos was probably the loudest person at every dive bar she walked into.
  18. mvp 78
    Permanently injured guys don't get a lot of ARB money. Not sure what his FA market is. People getting very excited over one start though.

    No way were John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Ed Kemper, HH Holmes, Pee Wee Gaskins, Henry Lee Lucas and Albert Fish quiet. They were probably the most annoying people in the world to be around. If they were internet posters, they'd quote people and provide endless non sequiturs and emojis. Yuck! David Berkowitz and Dennis Rader were probably quiet though.

    Anonymous 3 hours ago What are scouts saying about Kristian Campbell's efforts to rebuild his past hitting success? It seems like he still has a way to go. Thanks. Geoff Pontes 2 hours ago I think the results have been better than the feedback or the underlying data. It's odd, he's EVs are way down and he just doesn't seem nearly as explosive. He did homer for me on Sunday and has generally hit in every WooSox game I've sat on in the last month. Evaluators just don't seem to be watching the same guy.
  21. mvp 78
    He just needs to average 5 innings per start. Doesn't seem hard for a guy like him.
  22. mvp 78
    This is the most lopsided pitching matchup we've seen all year. Sox take the series. Brown was close to being outdueled by a AAA pitcher the last time. Buehler isn't a AAA pitcher.
  23. mvp 78
    He's got until the postseason ends for the verdict.
  24. mvp 78
    Ewww, they should keep it PG TBH.

    Pedroia had a large contract? I thought it was a below market deal? 😇
