    I would have given one of the spots to Carlos Narvaez. 356 AVG 427 OBP 534 SLG 2 HR 10 R 9 RBI 171 wRC+ (Duran was 8th in wRC+ on the Sox)

    Cora is giving him enough leash to get into trouble and then gives the escape route to someone else. Seems fine to me for a guy with one of the worst bb rates in MLB.
  3. mvp 78
    Scouting report seems to be the same now? IDK
  4. mvp 78
    GRE - 6 start sample POR - 7 start sample WOO - less than 60 innings I'm not sure what that could tell you about how he'd pitch in majors 3 years later. I fixed the dates for you. GRE '19 5.43 ERA (Low A before SAL and GRE flipped) POR '21 4.66 ERA POR '24 6.75 ERA POR '25 8.31 ERA WOO '25 6.52 ERA

    Early Monday morning, Dennis Lin of the Athletic reported that the Padres are (once again) targeting Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, though Lin also pointed out that a need to bolster their starting rotation was "equally as acute" as their need for a left fielder. Add Bello to that deal!
  6. mvp 78
    Bello's bigger problem is that he's 4th out of 135 starters in bb/9 with 4.95! He has the second worst K-BB% in MLB.
  7. mvp 78
    Bello only has a 6.5 k/9 this year. That's 112 out of 135 starters that have thrown 40+ IP. If they're trying to make him a strikeout pitcher, they've got the wrong coaching staff.
  8. mvp 78
    Letting him get hit around after he's thrown to is pitch limit isn't going to help him either. I think he should have worked out of the Brewers jam. Which other one should he have kept going in? At some point, we can't blame Cora for having to pull Bello in the 5th inning if he's at 90 pitches and has runners on.

    Everyone gets push back for every idea they put on here no matter how great of an idea it is.

    These days, you need 2 Catchers. I think Narvaez is great, but I don't know how long his bat will hold up. Padres don't seem to have a pitcher that's MLB ready towards the top of their rankings, so I didn't add one.
  12. mvp 78
    Let's look at when Bello was lifted. Last game: 77 pitches, runner on 3b, tie runner coming to the plate in Christian Yellich (849 OPS vs RHP this year), at some point you want Bello to work through tough outings and maybe this is the one time to give it a shot, but I think Cora was doing anything he could to not get swept at that point as they had just dropped the first two games to the Brewers 5/23: 87 pitches, pulled after 4, there's just no way he's getting through 5 here 5/18: 92 pitches, pulled after 4.1 AND 7 ER, Newcomb came in and got a double play to get out of the inning 5/13: 92 pitches, pulled after 4.2 with runners at the corners and Sox nursing 1 run lead, clean up hitter is due up, Wilson gets out of it 5/8: 90 pitches, pulled after 4.2, Sox up 2, runners at 1st and 2nd, Adolis Garcia up, Slaten gets out of it Maybe you give Bello a shot against the Brewers, but Breslow had already limited him to 80 pitches prior to the game apparently. IDK. Which game do you want to fault Cora for? None of the pulls seem punitive? Seems like a manager trying to win to me.
  13. mvp 78
    I've heard that a lot of teams are sniffing around the Sox, AS THEY SHOULD BE! Sox already showed the willingness to trade in season (Priester) and are under .500. Duran, Chapman and others could probably be had for the right price. For Duran: Salas (C), Nett (RHP) and a low level arm that the Sox like.
  14. mvp 78
    Also, if the order is L/R/L, you can just pitch around the second batter and lift the reliever after the second LHB.

    Who had the better season: Pitcher A: 21 wins, 3.48 ERA, 222 IP, 2 CG, 0 SHO, 215 H, 43 BB, 26 HR, 157 K, 1.159 WHIP, 122 ERA+, 4.0 bWAR Pitcher B: 16 wins, 2.87 ERA, 231 IP, 3 CG, 2 SHO, 180 H, 45 BB, 22 HR, 238 K, 0.971 WHIP, 155 ERA+, 7.2 bWAR

    The real reason pitchers arms are falling off is online gambling. They are throwing harder than ever because of all the death threats they are receiving. Every pitch in now life or death for these guys ever since PASPA was overturned.

    Let's leave yesterday's argument behind and have a nice week, ok?
  19. mvp 78
    They're going to have him skip a start at some point.
  20. mvp 78
    The most exciting swing he had was on an out. 97 mph heater he took to deep CF against Scwellenbach with exit velo of 103. It would have been out of Fenway per Statcast. He has been awful against 4 seamers all year and he had a nice rip on this one. If he keeps swinging like this on 4 seamers, he's good to go.

    MLB prospect ranking is not even in the top 3 of prospect rankings (BA, Law, FanGraphs).
  22. mvp 78
    Can we get an @Alex Mayes feature on trading Kristian Campbell so that he can heat up as well?
  23. mvp 78
    Back in the day, the pitchers didn't take 60 seconds to throw the ball. Games weren't 4 hours long between the Sox and Yankees. Pitchers knew how to get the ball and throw it back to the catcher. The pitch clock was implemented to make the game watchable and more like how it was decades ago. If injuries spiked prior to pitch clock implementation and haven't gotten worse since, what's the argument that it's making things worse? I don't see it.
  24. mvp 78
    Very.

    He's all yours, Kimmi! 🤢
