    I was actually responding to notin's comments about benching Rafaela.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Total speculation on my part and maybe a reach. It's just that all the expectations seem to have been placed on Anthony and Campbell for the moment.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Absolutely. Maybe he will benefit from having a little less of the spotlight on him this year. "Provided he stays healthy" adds Cap'n Obvious.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Mainly due to the injuries I would think.
  5. Bellhorn04
    A reasonable trade proposal for Skenes would be... a contradiction in terms.

    Case in point: Per Andrew Parker on X Red Sox minor league injury news: Pitcher Matt Duffy has a full tear of his UCL and will undergo Tommy John surgery on March 5th. 2024 draft pick Cole Tolbert also has a UCL tear and will be having Tommy John surgery the same day.

    I think you're gonna have to explain why this is.

    I too have expressed reservations about Little Raf's O, but you also have the fact he had a 2.8 bWAR in his rookie season, 4th best for Sox position players. A little early to give up on him?

    I think the idea of the full robo system is that there would be no challenges, because every call would be automated. The ump would get a signal in his earpiece indicating ball or strike and would simply relay it.

    Another good article, Maddie. I have to confess to being a dissenter about the value of all the new technology and analytics. Because I'm not convinced it's making the game better. First you have the obvious fact that we've seen a huge increase in strikeouts and decrease in balls in play. The average BA in 2024 was .243. Second is the injuries, especially to pitchers of course. The 2024 World Champs had 3 healthy starters in the World Series: Yamamoto, who made 18 starts in the regular season, Buehler, who made 16, and Flaherty, who was a trade deadline pickup. Max effort/max velocity/max spin = max injuries.

    I'd be fine with totally automated calls. But I wholeheartedly disagree that this isn't a step in the right direction.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Some of those answers were silly!
  13. Bellhorn04
    A 2 challenge system is a heck of a lot better than nothing. And successful challenges don't reduce your number, so you could actually challenge 5 times or whatever as long as you're right. Teams can be expected to save their challenges for higher leverage situations. I think this is what we'll end up getting as a permanent system.

    There's at least one question attached to almost every single Red Sox position player. Wong-defense Casas-health, defense Bregman-where's he playing Grissom-does he make team Campbell-does he make team Story-health, offense Devers-where's he playing Duran-does he regress as projected Rafaela-offense Abreu-can he hit lefties Anthony-does he make team Yoshida-does he fit at all

    Chris Berman used it for the NFL. I thought it was humorous.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Might not, too.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I know you live in the Norris Division zone, so I guess I'll take your word for that LOL
  18. Bellhorn04
    I would agree that the second option is not so bad.
  19. Bellhorn04
    IMHO we should not be counting on Bregman opting out. If he was strictly interested in the biggest payday, he had 171.5 million reasons to sign with Detroit. And he'll be another year older after 2025.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Maybe Rafaela can beat the paradigm.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Affirmative.
  22. Bellhorn04
    All good points. Cora will figure it out, but I have no idea how. The fact that Devers is reportedly still having some shoulder issues could certainly play into it.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I actually think Bregman would like to stick around. I mean, he turned down 171.5 mill from the Tigers.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Not a single walk in his last 39 games and 142 PA's. I just don't see how he can continue like that. It's never been done.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Little Raffy obviously has tremendous "bat to ball" skills. It's his approach that he has to alter...somehow.
