    He had a really good defensive year last year too. Very weird what has happened this season.
  2. mvp 78
    Prior to the Bregman signing, I thought they were punting on this year. With the injury, I think they will definitely punt on this season. Anthony will get up at some point. They will get their guys in the positions they want them to play. If Campbell isn't looking great at 1b, they won't force it. Sandlin gets called up to AAA in the next month or so. Maybe even see him in the bullpen down the stretch? Probably trade Blaze Jordan at the deadline. Duran, Buehler, Chapman and Wilson dealt at the deadline.
  3. mvp 78
    It would take even longer to get Anthony up if they are going to move him to 1B. He'd be down in WOO for another 3-4 weeks. If they leave him in OF where he can rotate all 3 spots, he'll be up sooner.
  4. mvp 78
    The starting rotation is a HUGE problem right now that affects everything the bullpen can do. The fielding was supposed to get better with Story, but he's just been awful. If Wong can't hit, he needs to be let go at the deadline too. The k rate is 100% on team construction and can't get fixed this year.
  5. mvp 78
    Crochet: 1st Inning: 167 tOPS+, 100 sOPS+ 2nd Inning: 165 tOPS+, 127 sOPS+ He's an average pitcher the first two innings of the game. He needs to figure out how to adjust.
  6. mvp 78
    Overall, he's a great pitcher, but I don't think Pedro Martinez or Chris Sale is letting the first pitch of the game get knocked for a HR like that.
  7. mvp 78
    I will say, Cora having him bunt is a complete waste. The dude can't bunt at all and seems to be missing signs frequently. It's a part of the game that is gone and Cora needs to learn that.
  8. mvp 78
    It's one of the few reasons his k rate is so low (56% swing first pitch vs 31% MLB average). He is terrible when behind in the count, but good when even or ahead in the count. I don't mind him swinging at the first pitch if the ball is a strike. I'd rather that than watching a meatball go right by him and then whiffing on two pitches out of the zone like we've seen a bunch from him.
  9. mvp 78
    What kind of point is that? Shouldn't the point be what you're doing right now? Ceddanne had a very low k rate to start the year and is now just reverting (10% k rate first 11 games, 22% since then).

    Couldn't pull a 4 seamer from a RHP if his life depended on it.

    It's not on the approved complaints list! 🧐
  14. mvp 78
    My thoughts on this game: 1. Crochet needs to be a stopper, letting your first pitch go into the stands is BRUTAL 2. The offense loves weak fly balls the least exciting play in baseball 3. I can't stand all the called third strikes 4. The home plate ump was annoying with missed calls and holding the game up to fill out his book (when was the last time a homeplate ump took time out of the game to fill out pinch hitters, most umps get that done seamlessly)
  15. mvp 78
    If they were trading Duran for prospects, other teams would be open to it 100%, similar to how they traded Quinn Priester. Most other teams weren't going to trade their MLB caliber pitchers, but the BoSox were for the right price. Rafaela's "best value" may be as CFer, but maybe the best thing for the team is just straight platooning Duran/Rafaela in CF, adding Anthony as LF, moving Campbell to 1B and playing Rafaela at 2B/SS as needed.
  16. mvp 78
    22.5% since May 1. He's going to be over 20% in the next week or so since he's already at 19.6%,
  17. mvp 78
    Campbell is already working on 1B. Why move Anthony there? It makes no sense. Campbell has been really rough at 2B and there are questions on if he can stay in the IF. Maybe 1B works out for him?
  18. mvp 78
    What's a new manager going to do differently?
  19. mvp 78
    The ACTIVE roster includes: Dobbins (ok, but can't go 6 innings which is a problem because of the next two) Bello (yuck) Giolito (c'mon) Connor Wong (if DFA'd might pass waivers) Sogard Toro Hamilton (2b only, 44 wRC+) Campbell mired in a huge slump
  20. mvp 78
    I didn't say it was an improvement to anything but the k rate. 🫠
  21. mvp 78
    Guerrero is already back in WOO (swapped out with Kelly). Bello starts on Wed.
  22. mvp 78
    You're right. I was thinking 4-4-0-2.
  23. mvp 78
    Mayer and Campbell are talented, but the results aren't going to really be there right away. It takes a breaking in period for young guys. Xander 2014. Devers 2018. They might be good every day players, but they probably aren't going to be the All Star, near All Star guys we're envisioning. I'd say the same for Roman if he's called up. These guys might have a hot start and then a period of cooling off once the book gets around on them like we're seeing with Campbell right now. I'd rather them go through it this year and get it over with though.
  24. mvp 78
    10 games under .500 since the start of '22.

    Narvaez was the #3 hitter yesterday. Hitters 4-9 included two rookies, Story (668 Red Sox OPS), Hamilton (648 career OPS) and Toro (644 OPS).
