  1. Last year, he has a pitching run value that was 52nd percentile. It's now 99th. He was fine last year, but not really Chris Freakin' Sale. We'd all be over the moon if we got vintage Sale one more time in Boston. We weren't gushing the past few years because he was injured or struggling to come back. Most people realize there are still underlying concerns with Sale, you're just annoyed that not every pro-Sale post isn't littered with concerns about his health. We don't need to worry about his health anymore because he doesn't pitch for the Red Sox. If he's great, we can enjoy it from afar. One bad contract doesn't sink a high budget team like what the Sox should be.
  2. @SoxNotes Ceddanne Rafaela leads the Red Sox with 25 RBI, most among MLB rookies. With a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, he has driven in at least 1 run in 11 of 15 opportunities. .417 AVG 1.083 SLG 16 RBI 2 home runs 2 doubles 1 single 3 sac flies 3 RBI groundouts/FC
  3. I hope Chris Sale is healthy all season and wins the CY. He deserves it. He was great for the Sox and still checks in on his old teammates.
  4. Imagine if he was still here pitching like this, every 5th day would be "well, why weren't you guys splooging on Chris Sale Day the last few years?!?!?!?!?"
  5. 3 innings? Bard only pitched 2 IP+ 11 times from 09-11 and not once did he get to 2.2 IP.
  6. It's Chris Freakin' Sale!
  7. Bard started sucking at the end of 2011 right before conversion. 9/1 - 10/1/11: 10.64 ERA, 5.01 xFIP, 11 IP, 13 ER, 11 H, 9 BB, 11 K, 1.82 WHIP, 4 L Daniel Bard ruined 2011 for the Red Sox and put them on the downward spiral we are on today.
  8. Hard to gush over someone that's injured.
  9. A lot of very smart posters thought Crawford was underrated coming into this year and that he had a chance to breakout. Houck will probably just get injured at some point.
  10. Imanaga was cheap enough to be a midrotation guy too. His contract didn't break the bank.
  11. I wonder why people are gushing over Chris Sale, a guy who has 7 AS appearances and closed out a WS for the hometown team?
  12. And then you have Kavadas AND another Smith clogging up the 40 man? If Kavadas is added to the 40 man, he's the backup going forward no matter how bad he plays (a la Dalbec).
  13. Mata has given up 3 runs in 4 innings in the FCL and Salem. Callup Valdez and Kavadas both LHB platoon DHs?
  14. Nobody laughed at signing Lugo. Most people just look at his history and don't know if he'll hold up over the long haul with a starter's workload. Plus, 1.79 ERA and 3.56 xFIP. Expect some regression. He's 34 and signed a 3 year deal with no track record of starting.
  15. When did he function as the closer in 21?
  16. There is no true north with this guy. He's the reason the Sox have been scattershot ever since 2004 (post WS selloff of players, build up of homegrown players, feeding the monster, dumping players, threading the needle for 2013, building up homegrown players again, buying and trading to get 2018 team, overextending after 2018, dumping of all veteran players, build up of homegrown players yet again).
  17. I don't have a problem with the flatness or heat. The love the ecology of FL. The state government and most of the people that live here or come down in the winter suck balls.
  18. SoFL has had record heat the past few days. Dewpoint has been in the 80's as well. And it's only Summer Jr. The real s*** hasn't even started yet.
  19. Sale has a whopping 3M CBT hit for the Braves this year.
  20. Bello, Whitlock and Pivetta all missed time. Having a guy like Montgomery who takes the ball everyday is a great value to a team.
  21. The Whitlock extension was before they broke him in the rotation.
  22. We only extend players that are getting ready to s*** the bed like Whitlock, Rafaela and Bello.
