    Was hoping for more out of Castro this season, but nice of him to have a big game in September. He's an MiLB FA this offseason, so there's a chance he goes elsewhere.

    If they beat the Yankees (50% chance), I think they have like a 25% chance from there to get to the WS. I think it really depends on what team they are facing in the WS. Dodgers would be a tough matchup. I'd like their chances against the other NL teams though.

    If you go on bref, there is a lack of detailed stats prior to 1990 or so (I was looking up 3-0 counts, k looking, etc last week). For defensive stuff, it's even later. Comparing historic WAR calculations with what a current player does seems kinda ridiculous TBH.

    It's not an "act" but really just his demeanor. His whole persona wears on people. It's why vets have told him to not get so down on himself. How about he goes and sees somebody to deal with his stuff? How about he shows measurable change rather than year after year fighting with fans? His job is to perform for our entertainment. He will get cheered or booed. That's the job. He doesn't like that. Too bad. It's his 4th fulltime season in MLB. He needs to figure it out. 🤷‍♂️

    The problem is that there isn't reliable pitch data prior to 1990. There could be more? We just don't know. I also think calling it an "immaculate inning" is something that came about during my adulthood.
  7. mvp 78
    He should still be here.
  8. mvp 78
    6% chance to win the WS seems about right.

    Bad communication by everyone involved.

    You're misremembering the quote. It's nothing about pulling in the same direction, just "next man up." “He's a great player, but at the end of the day, it's how many guys on the roster, 26?” said outfielder Jarren Duran. “That’s just one guy, so we’ve got 25 other guys that were pulling from the same line to win those series, not just one. So I think that’s how we’ve got to think about it like that as a team.”

    Duran is not a fun personality IMO. Just watching that Netflix doc made me really dislike Duran. The whole act of constantly being down on himself 24/7 just seems like it wears on everyone around him. I know that Refsyder and other veterans tried to talk to him about getting away from that self destructive mindset. Even the "they see us as monkeys in a circus" nonsense concerning the fans. Yeah buddy, you're in a big market. They are going to pay attention to how you perform and they are going to care if you win or lose. There's a reason the Sox are 3rd in revenue: the fans!

    Devers 1 DRS Willson 0 DRS

    And were 14 games under .500 at one point. Weird statement TBH.
  14. mvp 78
    4. Now Eli White is on the IL? Is there anything to be concerned about with these mounting injuries or is it just maintenance for everyone?
  15. mvp 78
    Meaningless to MLB. Georgia Tech had 12 players OPS over 1000 this year.
  16. mvp 78
    That's just Jarren being Jarren TBH.
  17. mvp 78
    No Jahmai Jones vs LHP at DH?
  18. mvp 78
    Uh, Hull is still in High A. Pump the breaks a little on that one. The offensive stats are greatly inflated down there.
  19. mvp 78
    He hasn't even gone through ARB before. They've just worked short term deals with him directly.

    De Paula is Rule 5 eligible this offseason. The MLBPA is making waves about having a draft during a lockout even though there hasn't been one in the past. With Ohtani and Pages out, it's a good time to bring De Paula up and see what he has, especially with a huge lead in the West. Dodgers are more likely to deal him away, but you never know. Don't really see the same comparison to Arias. Sox can take their time and add him next season.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, you're 2nd ranked MLB bullpen!

    1. Seems like the Sox will slide into the 2nd WC spot and go about .500 the rest of the way. Is there a risk to not firing on all cylinders prior to the WC round and playing flat in the Bronx? Or is that overstated? 2. Thoughts on Game 3 starter (Bennett vs Suarez)? Also, is Bennett's recent production due to fatigue or something else? 3. Has the league figured out Caleb Durbin, or was he just due to have his hot streak end? His Statcast page has always been very, very blue.

    But the last 50 PA sample size you note includes only 9 PAs hitting RH'd. That sample is so small that it's hard to find much meaning in it. That's basically a bad 3 games. Coming off an injury, there's so much that could affect that sample: elbow pain, opposing pitcher, weather, stadium. As for Alex writing this article, I don't think it's distracting at all. This is NOT a pennant race. The Sox have zero chance at catching the Rays. The Sox are firmly in the 2nd WC slot. It would be very hard to move up to pass the Yanks or move down to the 3rd slot. Even so, many of us are able have multiple conversations about the Red Sox at once. This isn't Chad Tracy talking about Dylan Brown in a press conference right now. We can talk about a ton of topics all throughout the year and it's not really a big deal. It's always been that way on here.

    I didn't include Bobs on my list, just Bobbys. Otherwise we'd have Bob Montgomery, Bob Stanley and others listed. Robs, Robbys and Roberts are right out. The closest we get now is: Bobby Witt Jr Bobby Miller Robbie Ray And about 4 or 5 Roberts depending on the year

    Hits LHP but absolutely can't pull the ball (and never has been able to). I guess we're keeping Duran. Maybe he can entertain us with a new haircut every week.
