Maybe that was as good as it got.

??? Kimbrel and the Cubs have a deal.
-
I believe the actual prevailing narrative on Shaw was that his minor league numbers were not that impressive, and that when he faded in the second half in 2016 he was reverting to what he really was. -

There's no question that JBJ is so much better when he's going to left. That double tonight was a very nice piece of hitting, taking an outside breaking ball and driving it over the left fielder's head. -
Yeah that one be far from over.

The #3 hitter and other batting order riddles

Now I understand why you seem a little harsh on Cora to me. You're a manager! -
Yanks and Paxton down 3-0 to Jays after 3.
-
And then there's the obsessive, demanding nature of the fans and media.
-
Ha, you creative accountant you.
-
No point, merely a wry observation.
-
$9 mill times 3 = $27 mill. But I'm not arguing with the position that Ottavino would have been a good signing at that price.
-
I understand. Me too.
-
Sure, you say that now. But if the Sox fall behind 2-0 like last night you guys will be writing it off as a loss and saying we suck.

Please post on my new thread! https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/19319-The-3-hitter-and-other-batting-order-riddles

It does happen. The Yankees gave up on Sonny Gray and Cashman pretty much said the guy had bright lights issues.
-
Very pessimistic.
-
Trading a starting pitcher is a little different though IMO
-
Unless they're REALLY tanking, in which case they might be able to knock it down to 35%.
-
It's baseball, man. The 38-20 Yanks with Tanaka on the mound played the 21-38 Jays with Clayton Richard last night. The 35-22 Rays with Snell played the 22-34 Tiggers. You'll never guess who won those games.
-
Don't talk in riddles now. Specifics please.
-
Even the best teams can lose to the crappy teams.
-
To trade a competent, affordable starting pitcher with some upside, you would need a REALLY good reason. Like acquiring a better starting pitcher. Can't really see it happening at all.
-
Hey, cut that out. No Pollyanna stuff on the game thread, moon.
-
Glad you're having fun with the cut this guy, trade this guy s***.

The #3 hitter and other batting order riddles
Bellhorn04 replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Other Baseball
The only thing I have to offer in the way of data is some quick numbers I dug up on J. D. Martinez as a member of the Red Sox. In his 1 + seasons with the team, J. D. has been used almost equally in the 3 and 4 spots, which is sort of interesting in itself. Total PA 882 3 spot 432 4 spot 447 9 spot 3 (don't remember this) OPS 3 spot .967 4 spot 1.024 RBI 3 spot 90 4 spot 72 So in this one very isolated, small-sample case, it would appear that JD has had more RBI opportunities in the 3 spot, since he has driven in more runs with a lower OPS. Not drawing any conclusions from one small-sample case, obviously. Just throwing it out there, as the saying goes.
