    Pitchers are getting injured everywhere. KC is second in starter fWAR and just put Ragans and Lugo on the IL.

    Hunter Refroe is an RBI machine! We need to re-sign him! He averaged 61 RBI the following 3 seasons. He's on a 22 RBI pace this season.

    It was hard to judge that he was a good starter IMO. A lot of us saw him as a fringe starter going into 2024!
  4. mvp 78
    Senga has an xFIP of 4.21. Sox are going to cause a bit of regression in this one IMO.

    I don't think Breslow went to the press. I think Sammy went to the press. The Sox have the leakiest ship of all time and a lot of it seems to come from his office. Dude can't keep his yap shut.

    What was good about Houck before Bailey? '23: 21 GS, 106 IP, 5.01 ERA, 4.07 xFIP, 1.2 fWAR '22: most of the time in the bullpen '21: 13 GS, 58 IP, 3.68 ERA, 3.08 xFIP, 1.8 fWAR '20: 3 GS, 17 IP, 0.53 ERA, 3.73 xFIP, 0.4 fWAR You have to go back several seasons to find when Houck was good in a starters role. Even then, he didn't pitch a full season. For years we've wondered if he's better in a late inning role rather than a starter's role and have him just let it rip.

    Are you making the trade strictly for return? I don't think the Sox are looking at it that way.
  8. mvp 78
    The pitching wasn't good before Bailey. Hard to blame him for them not being good now. Chicken 💩 chicken salad. Buehler is pitching better than expected and has tweaked stuff. Chapman has been better. Wilson has been better. Weissert has been good. That Bailey got Houck to be a an All Star is probably a miracle. Slaten was a Rule 5 pick and Bailey convinced us he was a potential closer. Giolito is coming off a career altering surgery. They've given Bello every opportunity to be the guy in Boston. He just isn't.

    I heard that Whitlock is potentially tipping pitches? Anyone else hear that?

    soxfacts.com would be a very boring place to post at.

    You can point at Cora, but the guys on the field have to produce. Sox are 27th in starting pitching fWAR for May. That's not going to get it done. Can't put that on Cora. Houck is toast. Bello is not good. Gio should not have been counted out. Maybe Buehler can come back and give them something? Maybe put Newcomb back in the rotation? Crochet Buehler Dobbins Bello Newcomb

    Well, that's just like your opinion because your actually watching what's happening around here. 🥸

    I don't know if JH sees him as a FO guy tho. That's the weird thing! They like him in the dugout, but maybe not upstairs.

    1. Super Two status - additional 4th arb year if brought up before mid June 2. Top two in ROY voting earn a year of service time (i.e. the Sox lose that extra year of control and wouldn't get a PPI as Roman/Mayer weren't on Opening Day roster)
  15. mvp 78
    If they wanted to move on from Cora, they wouldn't have extended him. Ownership loves the guy. They had the opportunity to distance themselves from him after the Astros stuff came up and they brought him back the minute they could. Over and over again they've shown they want Cora around. He'll be here longer than Breslow, Bailey and many others.

    Mayer May OPS: 709 Mayer OPS vs LHP: 698 He's still working on hitting offspeed stuff too.
  17. mvp 78
    Mayer's numbers are going the wrong way. 794 OPS
  18. mvp 78
    I think you could trade him for a late inning MLB reliever and a decent MiLB prospect and be happy with hit.

    Moon, I've answered this directly to you five times already. I'm not doing it anymore. What's the point?
  20. mvp 78
    2022: End of the line for the old core, Bloom doesn't add at the deadline, team fades 2023: Young team that was DREADFUL up the middle and bad starting pitching 2024: No 1B/2B/SS, starting pitching fell off down the stretch 2025: starting pitching not great except for Crochet, no 1B/SS production (supposed to be top of the order hitters) If the starting pitching keeps being awful, it's hard to blame Cora. If Casas keeps getting hurt, it's hard to blame Cora. If Story keeps getting hurt or underperforming, it's hard to blame Cora. Breslow needs to really shake something up here internally with some of these guys.
  21. mvp 78
    Cora has outlasted multiple GM's/CBO's at this point.
  22. mvp 78
    Nope.
  23. mvp 78
    He’s been a little lucky so far this year… then this start happened.
  24. mvp 78
    Bello ERA regressing to his FIP
  25. mvp 78
    DH only please
