  1. Spoiler Alert: he won't be starting on Sunday
  2. 3.99 FIP since coming back from AAA for Winckowski which about matches his career. I think he's an ok pitcher, but he's not really a late inning guy in my book.
  3. There were questions about his defense before he even signed. Even if he hit the s*** out of the ball, he might not have stuck there. Reports out of camp weren't all that favorable and that he may have needed to be pushed to corner OF. Merloni spoke about not liking his approach at 2b. Maybe he ends up being another UTIL guy? I think he still has some value so he could be a guy that is spun in another trade.
  4. That's two different arguments.
  5. Nobody listens around here! I even posted an article from Atlanta that stated clearly what the Braves were doing.
  6. If anything, they get a midrotation starter and someone to help out in the bullpen. Not sure they make a huge splash as it's really a sellers market these days. Sox aren't close enough to the top to go all in.
  7. It was never a slam dunk trade. Old Red should spend some time at SOSH and report back. Maybe he'd be nicer to us.
  8. Now do Jarren Duran through age 25. I'm not saying Grissom is going to work out, but he's only 23. He was awful this year because he was injured and had no Spring Training. Hard to really take note of that sample at all. If he was on SoxProspects, he'd be in the top 10, but towards the back end. He's an ok prospect, but he's not a can't miss kinda guy.
  9. What a f***ing surprise!
  10. Sale was around for one more year. Giolito will be potentially around through 2026.
  11. In 2023, Grissom led his AAA squad with 501 SLG. He wasn't exactly bashing HR's, but hitting in Gwinnett will do that to you. Home: 1 HR, 441 SLG, 820 OPS Away: 7 HR, 550 SLG, 999 OPS
  12. Oh s***. No power in the LAST 15 GAMES OF 2022!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. The Braves have great starting pitcher depth. The Sox after the top 5 went to Cooper Criswell and Winckowski. After that, it would get ugly fast.
  14. They have a better depth of starters than the Sox do at the moment even with the Strider injury. Red Sox have needed to run with bullpen games. The Braves don't rely on bullpen games to manage their starter workload. Not sure how you can compare Crawford and Bello with Fried and Lopez.
  15. “We did notice the last few years, our guys did run out of gas, a little bit,” Anthopoulos said. “And there were some times where – it’s not something we’re gonna advertise to the media – guys were sore and so on, but they would pitch through it. But it felt like when we got to the postseason – and I don’t want to assume the playoffs, but something needed to change. And that year that we chased down the Mets, we had a 20-game stretch – 20 games in a row – we wanted to insert an extra starter, we just weren’t in the position to do it. We just thought at the end of the day, it caught up to us, both times.” They are trying to stay healthy and well rested for the stretch run.
  16. Hard to tap into much power with bad hammies.
  17. I'll take whatever I can get. The rest of my family plays crane machines like their lives depend on it.
  18. That's how bad the crack Sox medical staff is!
  19. Your timing is backwards. Hiroshima happened before Nagasaki. Sale happened before Giolito.
  20. Ok.
  21. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, he still had an additional days rest before tonight's game. Word is that he spent 24 hours in the Tardis with the Doctor. Unfortunately, that could have some wibbly wobbly timey wimey side effects for his arm.
  22. April 26 April 27 April 28 April 29 April 30 April 31 May 1 The Atlanta Journal Constitution's calendar includes an additional day, confirmed. Either that or their reporting needs fact checking! What say you Justin Toscano?!?!?!?
  23. Sale hasn’t started on regular rest all season. He’s had at least one extra day in all of his turns through the rotation. They've used a 6 man rotation whenever they've had more than 5 games in a row. They make sure all their starters get an extra day of rest.
  24. Dude... https://www.ajc.com/sports/atlanta-braves/braves-dispatch-extra-rest-for-reynaldo-lopez-and-chris-sale-has-been-big-win/Z6DM4WEPUZCT7D6MBGSGUJIV6M/
