    If you go from being tied to being one game back, it's a one game swing. If you go from being tied to one game ahead, it's a one game swing.
  2. mvp 78
    Ok.
  3. mvp 78
    7.98 xFIP, 3.00 WHIP, 444 BABIP. He's been unlucky!

    Team A and Team B are both 60 - 40 and playing each other. After that night, one team will be 61-40 and the other will be 60-41. One team will be one game back of the other, not two.

    No, the Sox don't go from two games back to zero games back. It's not a two game swing. If the Sox win and all the WC teams win it's not a one game swing. If the Sox lose and all the WC teams lose it's not a one game swing. Are we just counting by twos now? The only way to get higher in the standings is for the Sox to win and the opponents to lose.

    Ohtani will be twice the price and twice the injury risk. Pass. Betts LAD - 18.4 fWAR Verdugo/Wong BOS - 8.2 fWAR Betts has been worth an additional 80M+ since going to LAD.

    Rich Hill has an 18 ERA since the Pirates traded him! Damn that Chaim Bloom. What did he know?!?!?
  8. mvp 78
    He'd be as good as Yu Chang at least.
  9. mvp 78
    No, it's a one game swing still. It's a two game jump only if your counting the "magic number."

    #5 in FCL OPS. He had less than 100 AB's at the time of the draft, but the catching depth isn't very great. Scott - late bloomer who is still learning on the fly, low ceiling Brannon - very slow progression for last year's draftee, can hit the piss out of the ball when he makes contact Lira - good defense, but bat is lagging Hickey - all bat, no glove Everyone else is an org profile.
  11. mvp 78
    I believe Anthony will start in AA next season. At that point, it's not a far jump to MLB.
  12. mvp 78
    He still practices and plays there. They still see it.
  13. mvp 78
    I wouldn't start Ref against RHP.
  14. mvp 78
    Hard to even be a 3rd C if you can't throw anyone out at all. His defense is really bad. His bat is really good though.
  15. mvp 78
    Verdugo vs LHP 2023: 230 AVG 0 HR For his career, he only has 6 HR vs LHP. He turns into Jeff Frye when facing LHP.
  16. mvp 78
    He was playing there fulltime and it was fine. When he went to CF without much experience, it was so much better that the coaching staff's eyes popped out of their heads and they decided at that point that he's better at CF. That's how much better he is at CF than SS.
  17. mvp 78
    He can't hit LHP. Why do you want to watch loser baseball with a guy that can't hit lefties? Just sub him in after the bullpen gets going.
  18. mvp 78
    JBJ skipped AAA before appearing in an MLB game. He was on the Opening Day roster in 2013 because of his hot Spring Training. He only had an 810 OPS at AA the year before. He was NOT ready (only about 600 professional AB's prior to appearing in MLB at age 22). Rafaela seems much more ready. Doesn't mean it'll work!
  19. mvp 78
    Teel and Garcia are the only guys that have the skills to be able to realistically field the position full time and not be an 8th or 9th of the order bat. I wonder if Teel pushes Hickey off C at some point next season or if they keep him there for the reps? I think they should consider getting Hickey a LFer glove to increase his utility. He has no chance of being an MLB C right now. 0 CS this year.
  20. mvp 78
    It's just wild that jacko kept minimizing the concerns about Rodon's health this offseason. I wanted no part of that contract on my team. He may give you guys a really good 2 years out of 5, but overall there's a lot of sunk cost in there.
  21. mvp 78
    Players aren't just inputs on a spreadsheet. Change of scenery is real for some players. I think Kiké just needed a reset button. Sox wouldn't sit him out in CF. No other way to reset, but trade.
  22. mvp 78
    Vs LHP Dugo 637 OPS Duvall 643 OPS Seems like they should just go: LF Masa CF Duran RF Ref (yuck defense) DH Turner Duvall has been -3 DRS this year. If they really don't see Dugo as a long term option, just sit him. Give the reps to Refsnyder, a guy that has put the work in.
  23. mvp 78
    Confirmation bias. When players leave here they get better! What about when they don't like with Tapia or all the other castoffs that people don't bring up every two seconds. Even Matt Barnes wasn't that good this year. It's not like he turned the clock back to 2018 or something.
  24. mvp 78
    If you get Mookie for another decade? Sure! They would have had to get under the cap in other ways (trade Xander, Devers, etc.). Our superstar now is a great player, but he's not Mookie.
  25. mvp 78
    It's the one move I'd undo too.
