    There's always an adjustment period for young players and for guys transitioning into the league. That's why this is a bridge year. There's going to be ups and downs until they figure it out. Maybe they make a run in the second half, may be not.
  2. mvp 78
    Until Masa starts hitting, he shouldn't be at the top of the lineup.
  3. mvp 78
    They got Story on a discount because all the other teams knew about his bad elbow just look at the contracts handed out this offseason!

    Orioles are 9-7. On the Sox schedule between now and May 22: Twins 10-6 (must be good because they can beat the Yankees) Guardians 9-7 (same record as lowly O's) Mariners 8-8 (.500 team!) Braves 12-4 (yes, good) Phillies 6-10 (bad team!) Brewers 11-5 (probably good) Cardinals 7-9 (below .500!) Pads 7-9 (below .500!) That's 4 series against teams with .500 records or below, plus the Guardians that have the same record as those horrible, no good Orioles!

    There hasn't been much in game performance to judge. The coaching staff say he's making strides in practice and in the offseason. It's a big unknown. I don't think he'll ever be an average defender. Maybe he can be coached up to slightly below average?
  6. mvp 78
    That's what happens with the bottom of this lineup.
  7. mvp 78
    Greg Maddux '86: 5.52 Greg Maddux '87: 5.61 Every pitcher is different. I'm not sure Bello has ever been compared to Pedro or that he should be. He has promise, but there are bumps along the way for young arms.
  8. mvp 78
    He was never going to be. He's maybe a #2 if things break right.
  9. mvp 78
    It's his first start of the year and he didn't really have Spring Training because of an arm issue.
  10. mvp 78
    He just likes the smell of used cars.
  11. mvp 78
    The tough part is that he and Nick Yorke play the same position. They'd need to decide where to move one of them if they pushed Meidroth up. I don't think they'd move him before the end of May no matter what.
  12. mvp 78
    This is a ST lineup.
  13. mvp 78
    If he's BB'ing 20% of the other time.
  14. mvp 78
    He's not good at actually stealing bases though. That's more of David Hamilton whose early numbers are smoke and mirrors.
  15. mvp 78
    More gloom and doom from moon. The Garfield of TalkSox. Typical Monday.
  16. mvp 78
    Chang's 36% k rate is a big problem for him. The hope is that Duran is turning a corner. No harm in finding out.
  17. mvp 78
    588 OBP, 11 BB, 6 K, 8 H They may be forced to move him up to POR sooner than later if he's just not being aggressive enough at the plate. He's not going to learn much by taking BB's off bad pitching. He's reached base all 7 games. Yesterday was the first day he only reached base one time.
  18. mvp 78
    Duran: 353 OBP, 19.6% BB rate, 214 BABIP Maybe if he doesn't go to team Mexico and sit on the bench, he doesn't start in AAA? This pushes Kiké back to IF. They must really not like the Arroyo/Chang duo.
  19. mvp 78
    Dalbec just doesn't fit the need right now. They need up the middle guys. Duran can maybe play CF? They'll at least try it one more time. Dalbec can't play SS. It was foolish to even use it as a fallback. Duran at least has the profile of a CFer and coaches have been working with him.
  20. mvp 78
    Some fielders are able to gobble them up quickly.
  21. mvp 78
    This was his 2nd start. 4/6: 0.2 Innings, 4 H, 1 BB, 2 K, 4 ER 4/15: 2.1 Innings, 8 H, 5 BB, 5 K, 7 ER
  22. mvp 78
    Meatballs are smaller and should be theoretically harder to hit depending on how dense they are.
  23. mvp 78
    I'd push that back much further. Ownership messes loses Fisk and Lynn for no good reason Game 6 Margot Adams leads to Boggs celebrating on a horse in the Bronx Greatest modern pitcher gets disgruntled and fat, leaves, does steroids and wreaks havoc for the second half of his career Robotic GM signs modern day Sandy Koufax who tells the next GM to sign the most clutch player in MLB history 2003 ALCS Trade grumpy franchise greatest SS, win WS after being down 0-3 in ALCS to Yankees Lose half of the 2004 team before winning the WS again in 2007 Mediocre years aside from WS wins lead GM to "feed the monster"
  24. mvp 78
    That's what happens when you start with an ugly loss on Opening Day, get swept by the Pirates, then sweep the Tigers, then get swept by the Rays, then win 3 straight against the Angels...
  25. mvp 78
    OPS vs LHP Career: 682 OPS vs RHP Career: 720 Cora is definitely going heavy with the platooning early on. It makes sense for Refsnyder (career OPS vs LHP is 100 points higher, 550 in 2023) and McGuire (career OPS vs RHP is 250 points higher). However, sometimes you just have to go with the guys that are playing well.
