  1. They only scored 3 in the regulation 9 innings though...
  2. A big payout to anybody jeopardizes keeping other players. There are only so many slices in the pie. We're lucky that with the Red Sox it's a pretty big pie.
  3. Yes, in 2016-2017 Kimbrel was 66 out of 72. That's 91.7%. I'd be surprised if there were many with a higher % than that. Kimmi?
  4. It wasn't really meant to be a 'rest' game for Betts - it was about being careful with his hamstring injury.
  5. I didn't realize Thornburg pitched last night till just now. Apparently he looked good.
  6. Sometimes managers just flat out mess up. They make mistakes. They're human just like the players. They have an error rate. Sometimes they will even admit later they made a mistake. It's understandable. There are a lot of details to keep track of especially now with all the information being disseminated.
  7. He was pretty high in fWAR though, wasn't he?
  8. Welcome JBay. I know you're a good pick, because I usually agree with you.
  9. He may be getting hosed as far as a major league baseball career is concerned.
  10. Rivera pitched a lot of 2 inning saves in those postseasons for the Yanks. He was the 8th inning guy and the 9th inning guy.
  11. It's a very strange time to be bashing Holt. He has a .920 OPS and he had some big hits the last few games before going on the DL. He has an fWAR of 0.5 in 16 games, so he has already earned $4 million on FanGraphs dollars and is making about $2 million this year.
  12. That's not quite accurate. It's worst hitter out of your top 5, so 5th best hitter, basically.
  13. I would love it if you did that again. (I missed it the other times.)
  14. Red Sox postseason history would suggest that a great closer was a difference-maker. Foulke in 04, Papelbon in 07, Koji in 13. Vs. Schiraldi in 86, and the Committee that Grady didn't trust in 03.
  15. And I sort of hate to bring this up, but Craig did kind of spit the bit in his most crucial single outing as a Red Sox...
  16. It's not really that complicated. Kimbrel is a special talent, but he's also a specialist. He plays about 65 innings a year. Everyone would love to have him back. The question is how much are you willing to pay? Chapman got 5/86, so Kimbrel's agent is probably thinking at least 5/95.
  17. His OPS went up by 121 points last night.
  18. Correct. If they bring him up at all the cat is truly out of the bag and can't be put back in. Castillo would be on the Sox payroll for tax purposes until his contract expires at the end of 2020.
  19. I think there's some merit in this argument. One thing that needs to be noted is that a blown save does not always result in a loss.
  20. They can't bring him up, they can't trade him, they can't do anything but pay him 12 million or so to entertain the fans in Pawtucket.
  21. The Moreland balloon has been re-lifted tonight.
  22. But Kimmi, this all implies that there is no such thing as a good decision or a bad decision by a manager. He might as well literally flip a coin every time he needs to make a decision in a game.
