But not much consolation to draw from a game that puts us behind by 10 games. -
First baseball game in London, and they get an NFL score on the board.
-
It's a cramp, per Pete Abe.
-
moon, you should have waited until after this game to post those projections LOL
-
I must say it was a good idea to play this series in a stadium with a roof. I hear it rains a fair amount in England.
-
Well, I do like your idea better.
-
Right now everything seems to be going the Yankees way (in spite of all the injuries) so I wouldn't be unhappy with a split.
-
Your points have merit. It's true that a lot of the shortened appearances by starters are by design now. But most teams still use a setup guy/conventional 9th inning closer approach rather than having a 'relief ace' who comes in whenever he's most needed. We used Kimbrel as a conventional closer, and that's what he wanted to be and apparently still wants to be-the guy who gets the saves. In the 2018 postseason we used Barnes, Kelly and Brasier as the setup guys or bridge to Kimbrel.

Personally I think we're prejudging a bit. The NFL games in London seem to be doing pretty well.
-
This was all John Henry's idea and that's why the Red Sox are the home team.
-
That's not hindsight, it's pure speculation about what other teams were offering or would have offered.
-
True, but half a season of data is a pretty large mass of data.
-
As far as run-scoring across baseball is concerned, it's up about 7.5% from last year. From 4.45 per game to 4.78 per game. That is a significant increase.

6/26 White Sox @ Boston Red Sox

Let's face it, statistically our chances of catching the Yankees for the division are remote, miniscule. They may get even more so if the Yankees acquire Stroman or MadBum or whoever. -
Your reasons for questioning the signings are fine. I'm just tired of hearing about how they were only signed for their World Series heroics. There was some rationale behind the signings. They look bad at the moment, as signings usually do when the player gets injured.
-
It's not really impossible. Adjusted stats like OPS+ measure the player against the rest of MLB.
-
Most people liked those signings at the time. And there were a number of teams in on Eovaldi.
-
Game Score is probably better.
-
I'll let moon answer that.
-
As notin has been saying all along, if the budget was that tight, why sign Pearce instead of a reliever?

Major HUH??? on Kinsler especially. -
The Slocumb trade was wicked good though. Thanks Lou!
-
The bright lights got him!
-
Reasons we could talk about all day. What I'm really talking about in this case is the philosophy of postponing a needed move until the trade deadline.
-
In your trade scenario, if Shawaryn turns out to be a good reliever, you gave up years of control of a good reliever all for the sake of saving a small amount of tax. That stinks.
