    danny, experience has shown that when a starting pitcher throws an unusually high number of pitches in a game, it impacts him negatively in his next several starts. A classic example of recent years was when Edwin Jackson threw his 149-pitch no-hitter. He was absolute garbage for about 6 or 7 starts after that. I also remember a game where Tito let Schilling throw 130-something pitches, and Curt was awful his next few starts, and Tito took his lumps for it.

    I'm with you. Try him. I am starting to wonder if Dave is slipping into dementia or something.

    I do get what you're saying, 100%. As far as the particular situation we're talking about: Cora brought Brewer in in the 6th to face the 7-8-9 hitters. Brewer threw 15 pitches. He had thrown 15 pitches on Saturday as well. Cora brought Walden in in the 7th to face the top of the order, using the philosophy that you use your better relievers to face the better hitters. I can understand some questioning of why not stick with Brewer a little longer. But I can also see an argument for going to Walden. The box of chocolates has become a box of dog turds, unfortunately.

    There are large differences between the luxury tax payroll numbers this Roster Resource guy produces and the ones Cot's Contracts produces. It's rather annoying. I'm quite sure the Red Sox are not at $251 million already. It's about $240 million per Cot's.

    Sure, let's just trade off 3/5 of the starting rotation. You're a moron.

    Keep in mind the Yankee starting pitchers only lasted a total of 1.2 innings in the 2 games.
  7. Bellhorn04
    It's the latter.

    Right now this pen is like playing Russian Roulette with 3 or 4 bullets in the chambers.

    The not chasing wins part refers to games when you're behind, though. Cora manages his pitching staff pretty much the way every other manager does now. The pitch counts are indeed pretty rigid.

    Yeah, it's like, let's make Mookie look as bad as possible by comparing him to Trout and Mays, 2 of the 5 best to ever play.
  11. Bellhorn04
    They are now.

    Most ironic part of this weekend: the offense which had been struggling to score runs in the first inning put up a 6 spot and a 4 spot, all for naught.

    We don't need a whole slew of the season is over threads. All you had to do was update your when does DD push the panic button thread.

    The stadium might be a factor in the number of runs. But if the Sox lose today, it will be 5 blown saves resulting in losses since June 10.

    Dave's Dare has become Dave's Disgrace.
  16. Bellhorn04
    That's just silly.

    Let's keep in mind the Yankees, with by far the largest revenues in the game, have only won one title since 2000 and have not won the division since 2012.

    OTOH Cashman's big additions to the rotation, Paxton and Happ, have largely been busts-outweighed, obviously, by the other good things that have happened.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Those problems were all in play in 2018, and that season turned out pretty well. When you're playing like s***, everything looks questionable.
  20. Bellhorn04
    They would have to fall a long way out of the WC to become sellers IMO. This is the Boston Red Sox, the team with the highest payroll and highest ticket prices, and this wasn't supposed to be a punted season.

    Sam Travis will make you eat those words today. Today is the Day of Sam.

    So 7 years, and 14 wild card game winners advancing, and 2 of them have made it to the Series. That's a 14.3% success rate compared to a average success rate of 25%. The sample is still too small to be conclusive.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I saw it differently. Two touchdowns and a field goal v a touchdown and two field goals.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Who's starting for you guys tomorrow, Jax?
  25. Bellhorn04
    Optimistic take, Denny.
